Ok, so I said I wouldn’t write on the weekends. Technically it’s still Friday night though so it’s not really the weekend yet. I just wanted to leave you all with this video that News Hounds posted earlier. Something to think about as the McCain adultery/corruption case unfolds.
As you watch this video keep in mind that John McCain has been saying that “I’m The Only Candidate That The Special Interests Don’t Give Money To”. Odd how he never mentions that he has a lobbyist doing business right out of the “Straight Talk Express” bus. Or that he has 59 lobbyists on his campaign staff. The most of any candidate on either party.

Yeah. Republicans. Standing up for truth and honesty except for when they are not. That’s some straight talk there folks. Head over to Brave New Films and sign the petition they have going there asking McCain to return the Millions he has collected from lobbyists.
Thanks for the post.
I like both candidates a lot. For the first time since I can remember, the Dems have had several solid candidates to choose from (Edwards, Obama, and Clinton were all stellar in my book.) I voted for Obama (after Edwards dropped out), but it was only a slight tilt toward Obama. I believe each candidate brings something important to the table.
And, I agree with your reasoning 100%. The media and pundits should stop predicting what the odds are and telling us who should/shouldn’t stay in the race. The media all but signed Clinton’s death certificate after Iowa. And then a few days later, BAM, she swept NH. Let’s not forget that she won some pretty populous states. And I’d love to see the citizens of all 50 states get to cast their ballots. Choice is good. Having the MSM tell you what’s inevitable is bad.
I agree, all she has to do is win Texas and Ohio and the media will be all about how she’s turned to tide and it’ll be even. It’s still way too close for her to drop out. I’m not a supporter of hers but this race has only made the dems stronger and will be a big help in the general election.
I’ve been listening, for weeks now, to the talking heads saying that Hilary Clinton might as well pull out now. I certainly question their motives on this. I think she is still a strong candidate in the race against both Obama and McCain.
It would be convenient for the republicans to have her drop out and then come up with something that could ruin Obama before the election. For once, we dems need to sit back and let this whole primary shake out as it will. It’s not the time to weaken and pull out. I think it’s mainly republicans who are trying to convince us that Clinton’s a loser. They want to force her out and if we, as demomcrats, are the ones who do it for them, that’s so much the better for them. I do not think it will weaken the party for her to complete the race she started. Go Hilary!
I likehearing Barack and Michelle speak, although I don’t necessarily agree witheverythingthey are saying!
