Everyone knows Carville is an attack dog but his attack on Richardson is inexcusable. It's a shame that they're attempting to verbally assassinate such a nice guy. A fellow democrat too

One more Bush White House parallel to draw: You are either with us or against us. That's the mantra the Clintons have taken upon.

Only to crack back on the Obama campaign going hysterical about it when in reality it was a bunch of workers being too curious for their own good. It happens, people look into hospital/credit card history of famous people and get caught.

See, it wouldn't have been so suspicious if the candidate(s) had been informed of it; I imagine it wouldn't even be a news story.

They had that in the 90's too.

Politico had an interesting article on why Pelosi's "secret" support of Obama is not a shocker.

They outlined how the Clinton white house almost always ignored Pelosi's pleas and ideas involving foreign policy (mostly dealing with China).

Clinton are not just playing partisan politics, they are playing inner-circle partisan politics within their own party. That's just not a way to run the country.

Which is one of the reasons many of the old guard don't like the Clintons. Many blamed them for the senate/house losses of 94 but I'm surprised they haven't shown their faces during this election. Maybe they're waiting to reject Clinton at the convention

If Obama wins the nomination where does Hillary's career go? I keep hearing about senate majority leader, as if it'll just be given to her. With Obama in the White House I'd imagine the fear of repercussions from the Clintons will disappear

The description of the article is downright surreal.

In electing presidents we are also choosing stories, and Barack Obama's personal narrative is a crucial element of his campaign. This week, our cover package reconstructs his journey from Barry to Barack and explores what light that transition sheds on his character.

<<--- As was brought to my attention tonight, Obama is about to hit 2 million donors for the year. The original goal was 500,000 by March 4. He should hit 4 times that number just 3 weeks after the original goal date.

No, that graphic actually stopped counting shortly after one million (when it hit 1 million this one was at around 700,000 I believe). This one never stopped counting, so unless the Obama campaign is just continuing to update it (including the date and time on it) with random junk data, it is accurate.

the article isn't that bad

"Barry's white grandfather and several other Hawaiian friends take Barry Sr. to a Waikiki bar. It's a joyous scene, everyone eating and drinking "to the sounds of a slack-key guitar," when a white man with a booming voice announces to the bartender that he shouldn't have to drink "next to a nigger." The stunned clientele expects a fight. But Barry Sr. smiles and quietly lectures the man "about the folly of bigotry, the promise of the American dream, and the universal rights of man." In response, the shamed white man gives Barry Sr. $100, in apparent payment for his sin of racism. Even the young Obama found the tale hard to believe. But many years later, he recalls in "Dreams From My Father," he got a phone call from a Japanese-American man who had been a classmate of Barry Sr.'s in Hawaii. Unprompted, the man told Obama the same story. Obama says he was struck by the man's tone of "disbelief—and hope.""

So a local article today in the opinion section was talking about how Obama was a "phony" because of Wright's remarks. I work at my local pharmacy, and some little old lady was reading it and I overheard her say because the editor was black, it has to be right.

Probably doesn't help that I can count the number of African-Americans in my town on my two hands :lol

No, that graphic is completely broken at a certain point it stopped counting an would add 2000 about every hour. It has far eclipsed the total campaign donors mark by over half a million, I would guess.

The only thing McCain has made clear is that he'll embrace the sleazy right that he stayed away from in 2000 in order to get the GOP nomination. I seriously doubt he tacks away from that in the general. He himself might not be uttering any underhanded bullshit but you can bet your ass his surrogates will.

His media strategist is the one that used all the smear campaigns against him in 2000. So yea, I don't think he'll be shying away from much. (Of course, the guy said he won't stay if Obama is the nominee, but it shows the kind of company McCain is willing to keep.)

McCain lost any sort of credibility when he went to Liberty University to chum it up with "agent of intolerance" Jerry Falwell, imo.

Not to mention him flip-floping on waterboarding.

The flip-flopping on waterboarding is incredible. An excerpt from a 2005 Newsweek editorial written by McCain on the subject of torture:

For instance, there has been considerable press attention to a tactic called "waterboarding," where a prisoner is restrained and blindfolded while an interrogator pours water on his face and into his mouth--causing the prisoner to believe he is being drowned. He isn't, of course; there is no intention to injure him physically. But if you gave people who have suffered abuse as prisoners a choice between a beating and a mock execution, many, including me, would choose a beating. The effects of most beatings heal. The memory of an execution will haunt someone for a very long time and damage his or her psyche in ways that may never heal. In my view, to make someone believe that you are killing him by drowning is no different than holding a pistol to his head and firing a blank. I believe that it is torture, very exquisite torture.

Do anyone know what exactly did Wright do for Johnson as a marine medic? Did he perform the surgery? or what position was he?
