August 4th, 2008 · 9 Comments
For all the insults traded between myself and Bitterique, and for all the glee Mike W and his fellow right wingers take in such exchanges, the facts are the party is unified.
In the latest Research 2000 national poll shows that Obama wins Democrats 82-9 percent, which is little different than McCain’s 83-10 [among Republicans]. In [...]

Obama hits back with substance
August 4th, 2008 · 23 Comments

I’m going to get a lot of grief on this
August 4th, 2008 · 44 Comments
But I’m starting to like the idea of Hillary as Obama’s VP pick.
Let’s face it the lady can fight, and Obama - who must stay above the fray - needs a fighter. It’s why I wasn’t thrilled when John Edwards was being considered, and why I like Biden.
Picking Hillary also brings us [...]

I will have more to write about the News Journal’s article on Senate Pro Tem Thurman Adams later this morning, but I had to just post about this picture. I think it is devastating for the Carney campaign.
