Northwest Indiana Discussion

That one doesn't pass the sniff test.

You've posted on it 6 times now, YOU are the one making a big deal out of it and as I have said before, just because YOU don't care about it does NOT mean that he didn't make a false statement.

Look who's talking.

Oh!

Good one!

What a burn!

Methinks the little toy pilot Edge the Deleter is none too happy about the Messiah picking a senile, warmonger, flipper-flapper for his VP....

Way too funny.

I couldn't have made a better pick myself.....

Deal sets stage for Hillary Clinton roll call vote at Democratic convention

The nomination of Hillary Rodham Clinton for president at the upcoming Democratic National Convention could mollify the New York senator's ardent supporters and rally them around Barack Obama.

At least that's what most party leaders hope will happen.

Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton agreed to place her name in nomination at the convention after weeks of negotiations between their respective aides. The two sides made the announcement Thursday.

Some delegates, however, including a longtime Texas Democrat, say anything but a staged show could hurt Mr. Obama by fueling lingering bitterness felt by some Clinton loyalists and turn Mr. Obama's coronation into a circus.

Democratic National Committee member and former Texas Democratic Party Chairman Bob Slagle said he'd write to fellow Clinton delegates and urge them not to push a legitimate roll call vote.

He also said he wanted to curb festering anti-Obama sentiment with some Clinton supporters.

"I need to try to stop the infection," Mr. Slagle said. "Hillary Clinton is no fool. She's a very smart, bright woman. She always said she's for Obama and would do anything he asks. Anything he asks doesn't mean screwing up the convention."

Mr. Slagle of Sherman said Mrs. Clinton's name may go into nomination, but he didn't think there would be a dramatic roll call vote.

"They may have it choreographed where there is some stage play," Mr. Slagle said. "She could go up there and give a flowery speech and then ask her supporters to vote for Obama. I don't know why she would want a roll call vote and then go down in flames."

"burn"?

Uhmm.....was is that?
Did you use that back in 5 th or 6th grade?

Yes.

That is why I only use it when I am addressing you.

It seems the only appropriate response to:

What makes you think he even got that far?

Bill Clinton in Denver again undercuts Obama

DENVER — Bill Clinton appeared to undermine Sen. Barack Obama again Tuesday.

The former president, speaking in Denver, posed a hypothetical question in which he seemed to suggest that that the Democratic Party was making a mistake in choosing Obama as its presidential nominee.

He said: "Suppose for example you're a voter. And you've got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don't think that person can deliver on anything. Candidate Y disagrees with you on half the issues, but you believe that on the other half, the candidate will be able to deliver. For whom would you vote?"

Then, perhaps mindful of how his off-the-cuff remarks might be taken, Clinton added after a pause: "This has nothing to do with what's going on now."

The comments are unlikely to be taken as an innocent mistake by those Democrats who continue to be angry with the former president for, they say, not supporting the Illinois senator wholeheartedly, if not implicitly undercutting him.

Could tonight inadvertently be Hillary's swan song on the national stage? Could be!

It would almost be worth watching but there's a new episode of Eureka tonight so it's a matter of priorities.

You can always catch the highlights on youtube.

Say Arc, when are you ever going to "quit" Hillary?
