The unsaid implication is that those who have not made it…….are guilty of not trying hard enough.

It’s to show that anybody can.

Is the glass half empty or half full?

“JR, Obama will be the next prez”

I don’t think so.

He isn’t the nominee. He shouldn’t be.

But if he is? He will lose.

He will lose because folks like you Mary and yes you CF are comfortable. And you wish to guard that comfort.

Even with so many already left behind.

Obama is no different from the cons. He talks about how he and his wife have made it.

The unsaid implication is that those who have not made it…….are guilty of not trying hard enough.

“Hope” What’s that? I hope I don’t get critically ill. What is Obama gonna do for me if I do?

“Change”? By working with those who have already wrought all the wrong changes?

I really love the speech that Bush gave at the Israeli Knesset [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/05/20080515-1.wm.v.html ] Obamah ?? the wicked flee when no man persues

Edward’s endorsement would have been helpful before North Carolina but is a bit late in coming now. It is like I heard on the radio yesterday, he is like the old football player William Refridgerator Perry- after the rest of the team would get the ball down to the goal line, they would hand it to Perry to run it the last yard for the score!

JR, Obama will be the next prez…there’s no way McCain will beat him. America is so sick of Bush’s disasterous policies and the huge mess we’re in now because of Republican leadership the last 8 yrs. It’s long past time to start turning things around and I believe Obabma is the man that has the best qualifications to do that. He certainly can’t do any worse than Bush.

Well, looks like we have our nominee. I think John Edwards was right to announce when he did, and I also think he was right not to announce on behalf of Elizabeth Edwards.

Obama is going to DESTROY McCain in the general election.

GMC70,

Sorry you won’t get that brokered Democratic convention you were hoping for. Given the level of disaffection among the Wingnut true believers, and the fact that Bob Barr will be running as a libertarian, you may have to your brokered convention fix from the GOP.

Edwards would be a lousy choice for running mate for much the same reason Clinton would be. Too similar.

BlueJay,

I wasn’t talking ABOUT you in the way you’re inferring. And please tell me how I’m supposed to know if you’re “here” or not. I’m “here” off and on throughout the day, yet don’t post each time. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Capn,

I saw the no/cutoff gesture, too. No doubt it was an Obama crowd, but that’s to be expected. That audience was hyped up!

I also viewed several CNN videos to see what the pundits were saying. Interesting to see Dukakis interviewed and what he had to say.

I’d appreciate if you Obama supporters would refrain from talking about me when I’m not around. Thanks.

I was for Kucinich. I would have been ok with Edwards, Clinton, or Obama.

Up until Obama showed he’s more Republican than Democrat. Edwards too has lost all my respect. I always thought he was kinda fakey anyway.

Obama is hemoragging the vote of working people. THIS was his only card to play to face that.

And he blew it. By doing when he did, he stuck his thumb in the eye of those very same folks.

I suppose he has one more trick to turn. He COULD make Edwards his running mate to mitigate his coming devastating loss in Kentucky.

Then he’s outta tricks.

I know this isn’t easy or fun to hear. But facts is facts. Obama is not electable in the general.

I’m sorry regular. I won’t moot your point again.

Wow.

Edwards endorsed Obama. Now. When it’s all over but the crying, even if Hillary can’t see it.

Now there’s a brave stand. That’s the way, John, to bravely declare your preference when it matters most.

Typical finger in the wind politician.

Now, is there someplace else these coal miners can send their coal besides those liberal, Obama supporting steel unions? So your fact may be correct Regular, but what is your point?

The point was addressed to JMWalker’s post and is moot now after you once again made “three lefts in order to make one right turn.”

Where have all the Clintons gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the Clintons gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the Clintons gone?
The dems have rejected them ev’ry one.
Oh, When will you ever learn?

young dems
They’ve taken interns ev’ry one.

They’re all in protesting.

They’ve gone to graveyards ev’ry one.

They’re covered with Clintons ev’ry one.

Understood Ben. I just wanted to let Regular know that I will concede if I am wrong on a fact. I don’t want to show bad form.

I stand corrected. Bituminous does belong to West Virginia. Sub-Bituminous is on the west coast

Thing is VET - shipping becomes an issue. That said, the demise of steel in the home of the Steelers and its move to the Chicago area changes that.

Incorrect Regular. Alaska produces the most Bituminous and Sub-bituminous coal.

Hmmm, okay, Pre.

I watched the video of Edwards endorsing The Big O.

When Edwards thanked Hillary, the crowed booed lustily.

Interestingly, Obama was clapping and when the booing started, he waved the referee’s “no” gesture to try to stop the crowd.

Perfect timing by Edwards and Obama.

Capn,

I recall JR saying yesterday that neither Richardson nor Edwards was his choice. Apparently he’s been Hillary all the way.

Why do you build me, Hillarycup!
I don’t need you-ew-ooo, for anything baby,
You know I don’t wantcha in my life.
So build me, hillarycup,
don’t ruin my life!

And Hillary’s good bye song:

“Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the days,
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as they gaze…

Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset!
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears…

One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears”

As her sun has set.

So, Bill should be happy then.

That’s true about the coal LLTVET. However, West Virginia is the largest producer of bituminous coal, the coal used in making ‘coke’ for steel.
