Let's bury them with email, I say.

:grr: :grr:

1. Bastards.This makes victory yet sweeter!

2. I have the same 'feeling' about Edwards' win in Iowa that I did

about Ned Lamont as he clobbered Joe Blow Hole.

We need a catchy slogan like "Nedrenaline" for Mr. JE :-)

:bounce: :bounce:

"Johnrenaline" :rofl:

3. I was wondering about that.

This "story" was posted several times at DU and no mention of JE.

I was in a serious WTF mindset. Fuck them.

[waiting for hope]

4. They've been doing it all year -

I'm wondering about the national polls myself...Is it "Would you vote for Obama or Clinton?" and no mention of the other candidates. Perhaps Edwards gets a percentage because people respond, "neither, I'm voting for Edwards" - I'm really questioning all of the polling - it doesn't make sense, not with all the first hand accounts and positive Edwards stories on blogs. Just dusted of my tin foil, anyone want to join me?

5. The polls are all over the place.

but I think we can all agree on one thing: any big corporate entity is NOT happy having John Edwards hot on their heels. The corporate "personhoods" are going to do everything they can to get votes away from JE. And he's gathering momentum like gangbusters!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[waiting for hope]

6. I have a feeling of a really

big win in Iowa - and with less than 14 days to go and if he sticks to the positive, it's going to happen!

:woohoo: !

7. Oh the irony...lol....

Goldman's Blankfein again gets record-busting bonus
http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/brokerage/2007-12-21-goldman_N.htm


NEW YORK (AP) — Not all chief executives at the nation's largest investment banks will receive a lump of coal instead of their typical millions of dollars in holiday bonuses this Christmas.
In a year where most investment banks lost billions of dollars on bad bets in the mortgage industry, Goldman Sachs Group's (GS) chief executive, Lloyd Blankfein, took home $68.5 million in total compensation — a record for an investment bank chief executive.

Blankfein will receive $26.8 million in cash, and $41 million in stock and options, Goldman disclosed Friday. He also received a base salary of $600,000.

Blankfein's bonus is a 27.2% jump from the record bonus he received last year of $53.4 million in cash and stock.

Goldman Sachs was able to largely avoid the mortgage-losses that plagued its competitors, leading it to post record profits during the year. Goldman Sachs posted $3.2 billion in profit in its fourth quarter alone, far surpassing its peers.
