baby jesus is first.
Gawd is second…
(hey wait a minute?)
No-bama. Ain’t going to happen.
Hillary and Edwards are already planning Edward’s new role after Hillary wins the nomination and if she wins the White House. Will Edwards be her veep or will he “settle” for lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court where he could work to help undo the damage done by Bush’s reich wing appointees.
And Obama? We’ll he and Hillary aren’t speaking so I guess he’ll be back to the senate for him.
Edwards will be first on race day!

Whoops! I mean election day…..
A.Citizen @ 4:
One can only hope.
Obama is smarter than the whole GOP bench combined. (But I guess that’s equally true for Hillary, Edwards, Kucinich, etc.)
I really do hope that Obama wins the nomination.
Ozymandias @ 7:
kucinich 08 now thiers a vote against corporations!
sigh, I’ve got too admit, I have a man crush on Obama. That’s o.k isn’t it?
crazy train @ 10:
nothing wrong with that
Ozymandias @ 7:
add Howdy Doody to that list!
I have an Obama sticker on the back of my van, but I fear Hillary’s got it locked up. I will struggle to keep (audacious) hope alive.
Obama did really well and it was a pleasure to see Stewart truly using his intellect. I also think that H.Clinton will not let Obama get in her way. I’m not sure that he would actually want to win the next Presidency and have to live with cleaning up after GWB
It may not be in 08 but Obama is going to be a great President someday
big darkness will come soon
What are ye tryin’ to say Tyree?
theres big trouble in china!
I’ve decided to volunteer for Senator Obama’s campaign. Or maybe I should volunteer for Hillary’s campaign and sabotage it.
If Jenna Bush is pregnant I say congratulations!!!
If George W. Bush touts family values in support of ‘08 Republicans especially, in attacking out of wedlock pregnancy/ Planned Parenthood, I say STFU.
tyree @ 11:
lol

Yes it is. I have a girl crush on Rachel Maddow.
Barack Obama supports war of aggression against a sovereign nation, which is an international war crime.
It’s what the Nazis were hung for.
He’s also too cowardly to call for an independent investigation into the attacks on the day which shall remain unmentioned, which is the single most important issue facing America today.
Regardless of how today’s bought and paid for media deliver the narrative, future historians will accurately report on our generations collective complacency in addressing the truth about the worst attack we’ve ever experienced on our soil.
And it will accurately be noted Obama’s no legal scholar, he’s no Christian, he’s a Goddamn fraud.
We’d be better off with neo-Fascist Mitt Romney running our country, because he’d accelarate America’s self-destruction, and we might see REAL change and rebirth within our children’s lifetime.
Ali @ 22:
Heck, I have a crush on Rachel too. I’m so confused !
Screw the narratives. I don’t need a bedtime story anymore. At least not until a true storyteller comes along (Feingold).
In the meantime give me Edwards.
Or Obama, if need be. Anything to derail what the smoke-filled backrooms have already decided. (Just like the oil-filled backrooms decided when they coronated W and President Cheney.)
crazy train @ 24:
still nothing wrong with that
Karl Bauer @ 23:
Back up your first claim with evidence.
Yeah, I watched this episode last night. Jon Stewart interviewed him for two segments, then ended the show by removing Obama’s member from his mouth and going home.
I love Jon Stewart, but man, was he really infatuated with Obama or what?
tyree @ 26:
tyree 4 prez !!!
crazy train @ 29:
yaaaaaa!
crazy train @ 10:
So I take it Bush wouldn’t get any from you.
This primary election is going to be a real bitch!! Damn. Damn. Damn
In prior primaries I have had to vote for either the one Democrat who I felt really stood out or the lesser of a shit load of evils.
This year I actually have to think about it. And. I’m thinking about it a lot … an awful lot.
There are so many exciting Democrats in the 2008 incubation tray that I’m still undecided. I have a feeling that I will be lucky if I can narrow my choices down to only two or three before I actually have to close the curtain and pull the lever.
Thank you GWB and GOP (goofy ole’ pedophiles) for putting my party back on the right tracks. Now we just have to put the Blue dogs to sleep.
Jesse @ 28:
Removing Obama’s member ? In case you aren’t aware, Jon is not a republican.
I don’t see the attraction to Obama…as a man or as a candidate.
ohhhhhhhhhh that was so NOT boring.
i like the way his voice resonates….it’s a positive wave length.
will he be heard? jon stewert is a great conductor of electricity.
not his own, but the guests….. that is if his guests have got “it”.
surplus cheese binds us all
abarts @ 34:
Me either!
tyree @ 36:
I heart tyree.
@27 Obama: “There are terrorists holed up in those mountains [in Pakistan] who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again . . . If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will.”
The Times of London characterized Obama’s comments as “a threat to invade” Pakistan, a sovereign nation last time I looked. That would confirm @23’s claims pretty nicely, I’d say.
Imagine if Hugo Chavez declared he would send Venezuelan troops into Florida to apprehend the man responsible for blowing up a Venezuelan airliner but protected by the American “mullahs”. Wouldn’t we consider that an act of war against a sovereign nation?
Obama is another establishment tool that no truly progressive person could possibly support.
Mr Pelicano @ 39:
Yeah, but how are you going to get through the fact that he’s so gosh darned, cuddly, manly cute?

Don’t pay attention much, huh?

Sound great but says little. All of his plans are future tense, gonna do this, gotta do that.
Dennis Kucinich has the bills on the table ready to go and can’t get the DLCer’s on board.
Dennis is the REAL Man. Wasn’t fooled by Bush, not then, not now.
And all you Edwards fans out there: wasn’t your man caught conspiring with Hillary to exclude all the so-called “less serious” candidates from future Democratic debates? How “democratic” of him. This is the same Edwards who is troubled by gay marriage and refuses to advocate the immediate and complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
Again, I’m too often amazed at how much supposed progressives seem willing to compromise in order to embrace candidates who, when all is said and done, reject fundamental progressive political positions. Imagine Edwards saying something like “I’m troubled by interracial marriage” or “I’m troubled by integrated schools”.
C’mon people! We should demand better than these clowns. Despite his complete betrayal of the progressive cause in the past, Kucinich remains the only candidate who at least articulates consistent progressive positions.
hadenuf @ 40:
Easy. He’s no Antonio Banderas.
Mr Pelicano @ 45:
I haven’t seen him lately. How’s he holding up?
Hi tyree.
Karl Bauer @ 41:
Obama was quoted saying “at what point are we going to, if any, are we going to take military action?” Obama asked.” He stated that he was not willing to rule out military action “as a last resort”.
You are equating him to the Nazi leadership, who used military action as a first resort in support of conquest and genocide? If you can’t see the difference here, may I suggest therapy?

kucinich 08 hes not owned!
kucinich 08 hes not owned!
agreed, tyree
Mr Pelicano @ 44:
Troubled by gay marriage is a far cry from wanting to ban it. You would rather he simply lied about his feelings? The “immediate and complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq” is a pipedream. It is simply not possible … that is, not physically possible. Safe withdrawal takes months. Finally, excluding the less serious candidates has to happen sometime.
Eventually, the debates have to focus on the views of the candidates who have a realistic chance. The more the fringe candidates speak in debates, the less time the public has to hear the candidates who might actually win and the less informed we all are about our real options. If you enter the race for Democratic candidate a
