“I got a report from a very close Obama insider in Illinois — somebody who has been in his campaign from the beginning — that they have been talking to the Edwards people and the deal is that if Obama is nominated and elected, John Edwards would be on the top of the list for attorney general.”
I guess they really wanted that info leaked.
That’s decidedly metrosexual I think. Like they could trade skin toners and stuff.
Alright. If this is the case, I will vote for McCain if he is nominated. Putting an ambulance chasing, dead kid channelling plaintiff lawyer in the AG spot could prove to be horrific. Just thinking, a really angry Spitzer on the federal level, unchecked by the Dem House or Senate.
Oh. On the bright side though Cap’n Ed endorsed Romney, you know. McCain’s on the ropes now for sure.
This is precisely why I think Barack could be far more damaging than Hillary. Edwards as AG? Give me a fucking break. He isn’t 1/1000th the attorney as someone like Estrada, Boies, and literally thousands of others. I really cannot think of a dummerer more stupiderest idea.
That guy . . . c’mon, he has to put up with Carol Herman every day.
JD, I’m backing Obama on their side, because the further he goes, the more he demonstrates the distance between the liberals’ professed ethos, and their actual values.
Oh. That’s a good point. She came here once that I remember and I was vewy vewy quiet. Bless her heart, but nonononono.
Dan – I am torn on that, because right now, I do not see any Republican beating Hill/Bill or Barry. I would think that nominating Barry would be a farce given his utter and complete lack of any relevant experience (RACIST!). But, the media will give wonderboy a complete pass, and we are already seeing it. They accept flowery language and a smile over substance because it makes a great story for them to push. I used to think that he would be an excellent juxtaposition for a Republican to run against, an easy foil. Now, unless they pull their heads out of their rectums, Barry would clobber them, smiling and saying exactly nothing, but letting the media do the work for him.
Hillary is beatable in the general. She’s got enormous negatives, a screech, a cackle, cankles and a husband people either despise or are growing weary of. Obama is a problem.
I agree with Pablo that Hillary has enormous negatives. Were she to be nominated, I cannot see how she’d be elected.
Obama is a different story. I don’t see much difference between his and Hillary’s positions, so if he were nominated, I think he’d have a better chance. However, as much as I hate to say it, in some states I can’t see Obama breaking through the whole black/Muslim-sounding-name barrier.
I know, I know, I’m a racist.
Yes, we need an ex plaintiff lawyer as attorney general. If this occurs, please shoot me. I will no longer want to be a lawyer.
“I know, I know, I’m a racist.”
Don’t know about that, but a helluva lot of Hillary’s blue collar, union Democrat supporters are. Given that and Barry’s lack of experience and I am not so sure he is a shoo-in either. I think this one is the Republicans to lose. When the Democrats ran Gore, I thought he was the worst candidate they could have fielded, then Kerry proved me wrong. I figured Kerry was the absolute worst they could come up with, and they have proven me wrong again.
But seriously, do we know the Islamic position on C-sections? Ole John could prove to be the secret weapon in the war on terror.
Obama is not a problem cause he’s too morning show perky. Like a really really tan Matt Lauer, except he went to college.
I hope he gets caught smoking.
He was pretty cool at Iowahawk’s party, I thought.
I hope McCain gets caught smoking.
Matt, Esq. – I do not think that the plaintiff lawyer is the worst thing about it, though it would certainly be unsettling. Go and listen to what Edwards has said about how he would not even be willing to talk to or negotiate with those evil insurance companies and big business in general. Give him the power of the AG office, and it would be Spitzer with a drawl run amok. I know plenty of ethical and decent plaintiff attys, and they would all think that this would be a horrific idea. Again, proving that Barry could be exponentially more damaging than Hill/Bill, or McCain.
If there’s something strange
and you need it leaked
Who you gonna call?
Bob Novak!
And both came thisclose to living in the White House. Barry is likeable, far more so than Flipper or the Goracle.
Obama v. McCain?
McCain still isn’t going to be POTUS.
Feel free to panic.
Damn, if I was a doctor I’d be selling my practice right about now.
Barry is not likeable. He’s a unidimensional product of marketing with an unseemly large hardon for genocide. Think Queen Of Nice and what a farce that eventually was recognized to be. Same deal.
You have to give Barry credit. He has to have some mad leadership skillz, because it has to be pretty damn hard to get tons of people to follow someone on issues of this importance, when they have absolutely no fucking experience whatsoever. He obviously had the ability to lead those people, but my guess is that is more like being the lemming on point.
The operative word there is “eventually”, ‘feets. See Jimmy Carter.
Oh, and Britney.
Come on, Pablo. No need to trash Brit. Tell me you didn’t think she was hot in that schoolgirl outfit, or the red leather number.
Of course I did! Which is sort of my point. Now that I’ve seen the pooter, it looks plum tuckered out. The bloom is off the rose, so to speak.
Now you just ain’t right, my friend. lol.
What all this means, really, is that we all (except Karl, for whom it’s entertainment for its own sake) need to forget the Presidential race entirely, and go to work grinding out the salt for Representative and Senatorial races.
Prediction is hard, especially about the future, and I don’t exactly have a great track record, but it does look rather as if the next President will be a Democrat — and whichever one gets the nod, one certainty stares us in the face: the next President will be an incompetent. A decent Congress will run rings around whoever it is, and it’s becoming important that we provide a reasonably semi-decent Congress. Oh, and large, heated mudholes on the roofs of all Government buildings, to give the pigs a chance to rest occasionally.

Ric

I did not see this one coming, yet it is just perfect.
All Attorneys General are scum, at all levels of government. It comes from having so much unconstitutional legislation to enforce.
Giuliani may go down today, but after four years of Hillary or Obama the nation will turn to Rudy as a drowning man reaches for a rope. Maybe that’s the best way. Carter begat Reagan.
Y’know, if the media folks who get targeted… er, I mean “picked” to receive these oh-so-secret leaks would just start reversing the logic in them (example: “Barry definitely rejects Silky as AG!”), we’d have a mighty interesting election cycle going. Fireworks up the ying-yang, loud squeals of denial from hither and yon…
C’mon guys. Do us a favor, what say?
