I think she had to loan herself money a few times too, while Obama was overflowing with cash. Even Bill can do a 2 hours conference dinner for $100k. :sweat:

Yup...beginning in Feb. Obama won 11 states in a row....she never recovered from that a$$ kickin'.

Clinton says she's open to being Obama's VP

I wouldn't make her VP. :shakehead:

But from a party unity and political standpoint, it might be advantageous...

Sick.:bleh:

Looks like NPR just wrapped up Obama as officially having the necessary delegate count. It's about time!

WTG Obama!

During the election, Hillary kept hinting that she wouldn't mind Obama as VP, now she's trying to angle herself for that spot.... :shakehead:

Does Obama want Bill loitering around the White House unabated as if it were his?

Of course he does...they will have a Bill bedroom...where you can get busy with Spitzer hookers. Pay to play.

The Clinton Lounge. :beaten:

McCain probably gave the crappiest poltiical speech of all time last night...it was beyond laughable. He was widely criticized by people on both the Left and the Right. He looked like Grandpa Munster with his crusty yellow teeth and his white ghostly skin.

Read reviews:

The reviews havenft been any kinder at National Reviewfs blog, The Corner, where writer Andy McCarthy poses a rhetorical question this morning: gWould you rather, a) watch last nightfs McCain speech or b) be waterboarded?h Columnist Johah Goldberg writes that gsubstance asideh Obama gcrushedh McCain in all the other ways that matter. gAesthetically, politically, rhetorically, etc, it boiled down to Godzilla versus Bambi,h Goldberg writes. gAnd, amazingly enough, McCain was Bambi.h Editor Kathryn Jean Lopez, meanwhile, says McCain needs some gscreaming girlsh behind him. gOk, Ifll just settle for proof people are awake at the end of his speech,h she adds.

Damn. That must've been hella boring. :sweat:


Do you think Hilary learn her lesson? Like, if she gets the VP and she's asked why she wants to be VP; do you think she'll start talking about JFK? :hehe: :beaten:

It was so bad that even the most conservative Republican commentators were criticizing....all I gotta say is he is Grandpa Munster.

You can't be surprised by anything anymore.

Gehh. :bleh:

She's stupid enough to do that... I REALLY hope she's not chosen as the VP-elect. :sweat:

This is hilarious...comments on McCain's craptacular speech:


You forgot to mention the deeply creepy smile McCain tacked onto the end of almost every sentence. A couple of times he grinned after descriptions of death and mayhem. It was like watching a reanimated corpse whose synapses werenft quite firing right.

follow-up comment:

Amen, Maria. As someone said last night, this was definitely Chucky territory.

RE: Hillary as the VP.

I don't think anyone but the zealots want to see her in the office, but remember... FDR gave the nod to John N. Garner. Not because they shared the same political philosophy but because he thought he needed him. Garner was a Texas Politician, and he ran rather a nasty campaign against FDR for the Presidency. But when FDR became the candidate he knew he needed Garner and his votes.

JFK wasn't a fan of LBJ. They really ripped into each other during the run for the Democratic nomination. But Kennedy needed him. LBJ was probably the best "back room" Pol of the 20th century.

Bush the Elder spent months ripping Reagan. Remember "Voo-doo Economics"? But when it came down to it... Ronnie's people tagged Bush for the VP slot because he was damned well connected.

I doubt Obama wants Hillary to be his VP. But he just might need her.

Yup.

Politics makes strange bedfellows.

Now how will he keep Bill out of his hair if and when he gets into the Oval Office? :sweat:

LOL, I guess that's the Secret Service's job. :beaten:

McCain's got his own issues. On the one hand he wants to distance himself from Bush as much as possible, but he doesn't want to alienate the far right who don't consider him a "true" conservative. Not because they would vote for Obama but to at least get them to go to the polls.

Aside from his crusty yellow teeth and Munster smile....well yeah. That guy as most politicians is trying to sell a bill of goods that is so fake as to be unbelievable....if McCain is trying to say he's the change candidate and people believe that...well hopefully natural selection well take care of that idiotic bunch...like those 3 toothed rednecks that he got to show up last night for his speech.

Put it down Chucky.

I read where McCain wants to challenge Obama to some townhall meetings together. Obviously, he a lot more delustional than we thought.

Seriously. I just can't wait for the first moderated debate...

One pundit on last night's speech in New Orleans....

"it's amazing that McCain handpicked a crowd where he was the youngest guy in the room."

That guy is 71 going 200 and he is now casting himself as a candidate for change. The only change that guy made was when he threw out one Depends undergarment for a fresh one.

LOL.

Hmm, since he's a candidate, can he not accept senior discounts at restaurants and other venues? :beaten:
