It appears as though his disagreements with the site redesign led him to be demoted for some reason...

Still trying to figure out what that reason is...

Doubt it.

He posts at 11AM to say he didn't like the site design, and by 11:30 he was demodded, and this appears to be where he found out he was demodded with his "LOL" post at 11:30 (as everyone starts reacting at this time.

Still...being demodded about something as stupid as disagreeing with a site design?

What kind of shit is that?

The 100 year lie was not enough, Obama continues to blatantly distort McCain's words:

I look forward to the spin.

Once again: Are you disappointed that he's isn't the Messiah people who dislike him claim his followers believe him to be and if so, why be angry that he actually confirms at least one of your assumptions?

Certainly his enclave of rabid maniacs isn't surprised he's human. Why do you pretend to be?

serious question. What makes internal numbers any more or less valid then polling by various outlets? Why is there a big hush hush secret internal polling. Not a damn vote has been tallied yet, how are they any better?

Dunno about for Hillary, but Obama's have been dead-on so far.

Nothing.

Speaking of which, Here's Obama's expectations:

"I'm not predicting a win," he told Pittsburgh radio station KDKA. "I'm predicting it's going to be close and that we are going to do a lot better than people expect."

PHILADELPHIA -- Chelsea Clinton stopped traffic Friday night as she wandered the streets of Philadelphia on a gay bar crawl, winning rave reviews for both her politics and her appearance.

Led around the neighborhood by Gov. Ed Rendell, Chelsea was mobbed by local gays and lesbians, as she walked from one club to the next. They ran up to hug her, posed for pictures and certainly invaded her personal space.

“I grabbed her ass,” one young woman exclaimed to her friends after snapping a picture with her arm around the former first daughter.

“Chelsea, the gays love you!” one fan exclaimed, as she took the microphone at Bump, a restaurant and bar that was her first stop. “Oh, gosh, I don’t know if everybody loves me,” she responded.

Most of those at the bar seemed to, squeezing past one another in the cramped space to get a photo. Even some patrons, donning Obama stickers -- a rally for the Illinois senator had taken place a few blocks away earlier in the evening -- tried to get a snapshot as well.

In all, she visited four bars in Center City, concluding her tour at Woody’s, the city’s most famous gay bar. Getting from one event to another proved difficult at times, as she was constantly stopped by admirers while walking down the sidewalk. She reached into car windows to shake hands and was followed by several young women who tried to pose for photos on their camera phone, but seemed incapable of properly saving the pictures.

Standing with actors Rob Reiner and Robert Gant, Chelsea appeared overwhelmed at Bump when the mob started complimenting her hair, which they had also done several weeks ago when she spoke at a Stonewall Democrats event at Woody’s. But she smiled and laughed throughout her very short remarks.

While she acknowledged she often is asked who her mother will choose as a running mate, this crowd had other questions, with one man asking what Hillary would wear on inauguration day.

“We have to get her there so we can make that choice,” Chelsea said.

At Sisters, a lesbian bar, Rendell reflected on Chelsea’s statement that her mother would be a better president than her father was, and suggested she may have angered former President Clinton in the process.

Rendell appeared to be in his element. As Chelsea posed for more photos inside Bump, the governor held court outside, quizzing onlookers about Pennsylvania history, and grabbing the phone of one voter to talk to his undecided mother. He acknowledged to the caller that there were two good Democratic candidates, but said he thought Hillary would do a better job.

“OK, governor, don’t run my minutes up,” the man said, trying to get the phone back from Rendell.

Rendell has toured gay bars in Philadelphia since the 1970s, he said, and made a similar trek for John Kerry in 2004.

“We’ll see tonight, easily, 1,500 people,” Rendell said. “And they’re all voters.”

There was no policy discussion for Chelsea, who usually fields questions from college students at town hall meetings but does not do interviews with the press. There were no questions about gays in the military or same-sex marriage this evening; mostly just polite chit-chat.

As the tour continued past a bar with a terrace -- open on one of the first warm spring evenings of the year -- Chelsea nearly ran up to shake outstretched hands.

“Are you going inside?” one woman asked.

“I don’t know,” Chelsea replied. “I’m mostly just following directions.”

Today's results, from Gallup Poll Daily tracking conducted April 18-20, show Obama doing quite well in the last two days of polling (on Saturday and Sunday), suggesting the latest difficulties troubling his campaign -- largely stemming from the April 16 Democratic debate in Philadelphia and the ensuing media coverage-- are subsiding.

methinks it was brushing his shoulders, but thats just my opinion. before he brushed, the streams crossed and a portal to another dimension opened and everyone shat bricks or leapt for joy, depending. now the debate is over, and what had become 'the norm' is back. until clinton wins PA and the streams cross again for another couple of days.
 
from First Read
The Wall Street Journal reports that Obama may have a secret weapon. "ome party leaders are quietly planning to try to end the clash, said people familiar with the matter. After the primaries end in June, these influential Democrats -- led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- plan to push the last uncommitted party leaders to endorse a candidate, in hopes of preventing a fight at the August presidential convention, party insiders say. These ‘superdelegates’ -- governors, members of Congress and others who can vote for any candidate at the convention -- would likely tip the balance to Sen. Obama, who holds a sizable and likely insurmountable delegate lead. Sen. Clinton is hoping that a win in Pennsylvania, where she is favored, would lift her campaign and give party officials pause about Sen. Obama as the nominee."

:lol I actually laughed out loud
 
That Gallup thingy is neat. It will swing to Clinton again when she wins tomorrow, I think, but not for long.

Sounds like the party wants the undecided supers to commit as soon as the primaries are over, thus avoiding a convention fight and ending Clinton's run towards it two months early. Which makes sense, and is probably best - all states get to vote, and the supers have all they need to make up their minds. No point waiting, especially the way the fighting is going.

really? from 47 to 49 (+2) and from 45 to 42 (-3)? how about.... april 6th, shown on the graph. 49 to 52 (+3) and from 46 to 43 (-3)

the april 6th swing was a +6 for obama, while todays was only a +5...


of course, you could be using snark, which is hard for me to detect on the interwebs, in which case i am sorry and feel stupid.

From what I hear, it wasn't just the posts in that thread. There was stuff going on "behind the scenes" and he just wouldn't let it go.
