2. Why the need for this thread?
It isn't all that funny....I've seen better snark.

I don't see any wonderful things written about your candidate and why I should support her in this thread.

What's the point?

Is it to try to make the Obama supporters feel uneasy? Good luck with that.

Really...what is the point of this?

5. Two main answers. A) It's all name recognition.
B)Obama made a tactical mistake tonight by turning away from his usual bold stance: he shouldn't have shown up. He should have continued with the "audacity of abstention." He has shown deep political courage and righteousness recently by not voting on the Moveon question. Just today, he went further, and did not vote on Kyl-Lieberman. He stood up against Big Elderly by refusing to show up at the AARP debate. Why the loss of nerve tonight?

8. OK, folks and fellow Hill lovers
This is a trifle unseemly. We need to be above the fray.

13. Nice cheap shot poll from someone who wants the pro-Iran War Candidate
As a courtesy, you could have the balls to have "Other" in the poll.

Look for not only an Obama bounce, but some great news that the Clinton machine gets their arse handed to them with contributions. She won't be chuckling at that news.

:rofl:

19. OOoo another "zinger" thread
I was thinking the walls in here needed more feces.

Come on William, STOP it. Can't we just discuss the candidates without acting this way? Please. I'm begging you at this point.

26. Someone will come up w/an obscure poll reflecting a bounce; whoever posts any of the polls...
... not reflecting a bounce will be accused of being on crack.
