Support NeoGAF

[velvet_nitemare]

I was wondering if someone would kindly shop the Obama pound into this...

Thanks.

Swag

God damn that is a badass picture.

 

[John_B]

Far as I'm concerned, that rat can get burned alive for what he's done. Fucking bastard.

I read that Lieberman is supporting McCain, but what did he say that made Obama react like that?

 

[Tobor]

Man this is huge. Establishment Dems just got a wakeup call.

John Edwards from August '07:


Obama's Democratic Party got a great start.

I just read this on Huffpost. Truly a megaton. I'm donating more money as soon as I can.

We're the lobbyists now!

 

[Mumei]

Wasserman-Schultz is in a safe district, but if I were Tubbs-Jones I would shut the fuck up lest she get beaten by a pro-Obama candidate in the primary for her district, which is probably 70% African-American.

Her district is 39.7% White, 55.9% Black, 1.6% Asian, 2.3% Hispanic, 0.2% Native American, 0.2% other, according to Wikipedia, anyway, and she's never won with less than 76%.

... that's just depressing

 

[Raistlin]

You realize he wasn't even born until '36, right? He was 8 when WWII ended and probably doesn't remember the depression.

My dad's about the same age ... and actually loves big-band.

Its no different then many people around my age (30) having classic rock as their favorite. Its not like we were around when the vast majority was actually released.

I read that Lieberman is supporting McCain, but what did he say that made Obama react like that?

He's basically been constantly attacking Obama on foreign policy and even agreed with Bush calling him an appeaser.

He went after Obama on Iran

:lol :lol Kay Bailey Hutchinson

"Well Senator Obama was very liberal, but Senator Clinton was very moderate, so I think McCain will be able to get those votes"

He's basically been constantly attacking Obama on foreign policy and even agreed with Bush calling him an appeaser.

"Hey, Joe....come here a second? Cahmere! Alright buster, you listen and you listen good. This mealy mouthed bullshit might have flown when Ziggy Stardust was still in the running but this is my boat now. I know you like paddling your little canoe from one big ocean liner to the other and that's fine, but just remember. It's my hands on the rope ladder."

 

[Keylime]

:lol :lol Kay Bailey Hutchinson

"Well Senator Obama was very liberal, but Senator Clinton was very moderate, so I think McCain will be able to get those votes"

I'm guessing that this isn't the person being disillusioned from reality.

I'd be willing to bet they make statements like this to sway people that are sheep.

"Well...that person said Hillary is moderate! McCain says he's moderate too! I'll go mosey over to this guy..."

BAAAAAAAAA! BAAAAAAAAAA!

 

[Chichikov]

I don’t think it will be a huge surprise if he caucus with the GOP if McCain win the presidency.

 

[Hitokage]

I don’t think it will be a huge surprise if he caucus with the GOP if McCain win the presidency.

Neither will it be of any importance. The party of Obama and Dean no longer has any use for that smarmy creep.

This Friday a Spanish channel (Cuatro) will air his own Obama documental, named "Four days with Obama", the cameras of Cuatro have been in Illinois, Montana, Iowa and Oregon, including the Portland rally, and footage in the campaign airplane.

Cuatro is the only non-american channel that was following this primaries from the inside

 

[Hitokage]

No surprise there, but nice to know.

 

[scorcho]

i thought Dean had no interest in staying beyond 2009?

 

[Tamanon]

i thought Dean had no interest in staying beyond 2009?

That's probably true, but there was talk of Obama picking a replacement to run the party during the election also.

 

[The Librarian]

I thought Hillary was going to endorse tomorrow?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Hillary Clinton's email to her supporters

What a saint, God bless her soul. Goddamn Obama that pretty motherfucker!

 

[Cheebs]

i thought Dean had no interest in staying beyond 2009?

He means now that Obama controls the DNC. Obama has the authority to replace Dean if he chose. Obama has already dictated the DNC can't take money from lobbyists anymore. But Obama says he wants Dean to remain in his position of the DNC

And let's not forget that Clinton absolutely intended to remove Dean if she were nominated

 

[Hitokage]

Exactly. The intraparty feud is now over. Clinton's side lost.

 

[The Librarian]

Ahem.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Oh, by the way, latino networks tend to be biased against Obama. I had to keep filling in my parents on the real numbers, countering the common arguments spouted forth "no white people on his side, less votes, muslim." Recently my mom called me to ask if Hillary was going to be the VP because she just heard as much on the TV. Thankfully, she's learned to talk to me about those things, so I quickly disproved that, too.

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see Telemundo, Univision, and (local papers) El Nuevo Herald shill for McCain. They already are.

 

[Chichikov]

Having a filibuster proof majority is super important.
And while actually having 60 DNC senators in 08 seems like a pipe dream at the moment, the size of the majority matter immensely, and yeah, every senator matter a whole lot, even if he’s a fool from Connecticut.

Tim Russert: And they&#8217;re really crucial in swing states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Northern Florida, and pretty much any area more than 5 miles away from any major US city. That&#8217;s a big voting bloc that Hillary Clinton was able use as a base. Perhaps they admired her sheer force of will. Who knows. Now, the question is: will those racist voters stay with Obama, or will they vote for John McCain instead?

Chris Matthews: That&#8217;s a tough one. I mean, this election has had so many twists and turns. So many lead changes. I tell ya, it&#8217;s just like the Pro Bowl!

Tim Russert: And here are some more numbers that should give Obama pause, Chris. Among racist voters, Clinton won 100% of the vote. A clean sweep. And, asked if they had a favorable impression of Obama, virtually all racist voters said no. Now, that&#8217;s a lot to think about. We even have some quotes from some of these voters as they came out of the polls. And they said things like:

-&#8220;Fuck that &#8212;&#8212;.&#8221;
-&#8220;No way I&#8217;m votin&#8217; fah that fackin&#8217; dahkie!&#8221;
-&#8220;I don&#8217;t want no &#8212;&#8212; bein&#8217; President, and that&#8217;s that.&#8221;
-&#8220;I likes my Presidents smart, and ain&#8217;t no blackies smart.&#8221;
-&#8220;I don&#8217;t want that black man robbing the Treasury for crack money.&#8221;
-&#8220;Ain&#8217;t he one of them colored A-rabs?&#8221;

I think it&#8217;s gonna be really hard for Obama to make inroads with a lot of these voters. They&#8217;ve got some very strong opinions.

Chris Matthews: Well, why do you think Obama has such a tough time connecting with racist voters?

Tim Russert: Well, that&#8217;s the real puzzle. It could be because he went to Harvard. Racist people seem to have great antipathy towards institutions of higher learning. It also could be because Obama grew up in Hawaii. Again, he&#8217;s got that kind of outsider mystique. He&#8217;s very dark and exotic looking. These people just can&#8217;t seem to relate to him. It&#8217;s gonna take a lot more polling and research to figure out exactly why.

:lol

that would be crazy though. Obama is the embodiment of everything Dean started back in 2000. i'd be shocked if anyone on Obama's team realistically considered a new DNC chair.

 

[Tamanon]

I am SHOCKED that almost every single McCain surrogate I've seen the past couple days has been a woman.

I agree, and how can you remove Dean after everything he did for the 06 elections. He took back BOTH houses with his 50 state strategy. I think if Obama wins he gets a job in the administration and thats how he steps down as head of the DNC.

 

[polyh3dron]

Yep, women are just that vindictive that they would put our country through 4-8 more years of turmoil just because Hillary didn't get the nomination.

Of course Hillary's not divisive.

well thank god.

Kind of crude:

I fully understand the frustration and disappointment of women who really wanted to see a woman president, I truly do.
And I wouldn’t worry too much about female liberals defecting to McCain; sooner or later they’ll find out where he stands on abortion.

 

[Tamanon]

:lol Republican strategist saying that Clinton is already the VP slot and she's negotiating to be co-president.:lol :lol :lol

This Obama town hall is great.

A 95 year old man just gave him a stick he made for Mr. Obama.

Obama said he's going to "whoop em" those in congress who disagree with him.

Feminist leader says no to Obama

"I don't care," Horbal said of the possibility that the move might cost Obama votes. She said she also would not be bothered if the write-in campaign indirectly helped elect John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee. "Let McCain clean it up for four years, and then we can have Hillary run again," she said."
