[k_jerome]

[MannyGoldstein]

1. But Zell's Was the Best!

Not to mention Marc Rich's...

[Tellurian]

3. Thanks, Manny , you can go to bed now..

you've paid your dues for the day!

[k_jerome]

11. guess theres no buses to throw rocks at up in Boston. nt.

[MannyGoldstein]

12. I Don't Throw Rocks At Buses

Nor do I support candidates that savage the Middle Class for a few shekels.

I'm a Democrat - remember those?

[k_jerome]

15. you are what you say you are hero. nt.

[Ninja Jordan]

2. Is Hastings the impeached former judge?

[MannyGoldstein]

4. That'd Be The One

Ah, all so predictable.

[oasis]

8. Hillary and the folks in his district don't seem to have a problem with it. Alcee

will be at Hillary's side when she visits Florida.

[k_jerome]

20. c'mon, its a black guy and a jewish woman....now if it was a dottering former KKK member....

that would be different.

[oasis]

23. Sen. Byrd was our friend when friends were scarce. He spoke up when many Dems

were silent. I've got no bones to pick with that gentleman.

[k_jerome]

28. just pointing out an interesting double standard with certain Democrats...

although you and I differ on Byrd greatly.

[IndianaGreen]

5. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is an AIPAC and CANF shill

Although she is an otherwise fine Congresswoman as long as you stay out of anything Israel or Cuba!

[oasis]

10. Debbie's a fine up and coming Democrat and a strong union supporter. (eom)

[IndianaGreen]

17. I did say she was an otherwise fine Congresswoman as long as you stay out of anything Israel or Cuba

which begs the question: For how long will Hillary continue to toe the rightwing AIPAC line on the Middle East?

[oasis]

21. For four years at least. (eom)

[IndianaGreen]

24. This means that we can't rely on her to be an honest broker for Middle East peace

Another reason why we need someone else as our nominee.

[oasis]

27. Hopefully she'll leave that work to Bill or George Mitchell.(eom)

[JI7]

6. Hastings ?

is that an endorsement one wants to brag about ?

[k_jerome]

13. what is wrong with him? nt.

[Erika]

7. Hillary haters again.

I hope the day will come when they can concentrate on the negatives of the GOP. Says a lot about them.

[AtomicKitten]

9. and the GOP

are such assholes too ...

[BayCityProgressive]

14. yay

she has the cuba and palestine haters locked up in Florida. After the Helms-Burton Act her husband signed...why wouldn't they back her?

[MonkeyFunk]

16. and

which candidate is running an anti-Israel, pro-Cuba platform?

[BayCityProgressive]

18. pro-palestinian

doesn't mean anti-Israel. Nice talking point. Kucinich supports a peaceful two state solution and opposed the attack on Lebanon. He also supports ending the Cuban embargo.

[MonkeyFunk]

22. Senator Clinton

has supported a two-state solution for many years.

[IndianaGreen]

25. She opposes the return of all lands taken in 1967

the bare minimum requirement for a permanent peace is to return to the pre-June 1967 borders.

[oasis]

19. "Cuba haters" or Castro haters? Big difference ya know.

[sampsonblk]

26. Juggernaut

Am I the only one who sees the writing on the wall? Ya never wanna say its over till its over. This one's over.

Its now only about positioning for the VP spot on the ticket.

[GeorgeGist]

29. yup

[Ninja Jordan]

30. Huh? Virginia's governor has endorsed Obama.

Is he a juggernaut?

[sampsonblk]

32. This is not going to be competitive

Obama's cool. But this is not going to be a competitive primary season. Let's be honest here. Regardless of what we feel about Mrs. Clinton, she has all the advantages that the other candidates can't possibly overcome.

The other candidates would be great in another year. In fact, 2004 was a great year for people to get their feet wet. But not this time. And I think they all know it. Just my opinion.

[Colobo]

33. Yeah, they all should withdraw and let Queen Hillary run by herself

[sampsonblk]

37. What's that about?

Sounds like you have an axe to grind.

[Ninja Jordan]

34. I don't buy it. Obama is attracting massive crowds.

[sampsonblk]

38. He sure is

Some of them may even vote for him. Maybe.

[oasis]

31. Wasserman Schultz is a member of the Dem's high energy "Thirty Something" team

which includes Kendrick Meek, also of Florida and Ohio's Tim Ryan. It would be major if Debbie can convince the others to get on board Hillary's Pennslyvania Avenue Express.

[Ninja Jordan]

35. Meek seems like an Obama guy (nm)

[ripple]

36. Does anyone know who Soros is backing?

I know Obama has met with him and I'm sure Hillary has, as well.

Any word on where his money's going this time around?

[ripple]

39. Looks like Obama for now

'George Soros, the billionaire New York philanthropist, has made maximum donations in the past to both candidates, for instance, and last week he faced a choice: support Mr. Obama, who created his committee on Tuesday, or stay neutral and see what Mrs. Clinton and others had to say. In this case, Mr. Obama won.

Mr. Soros sent the maximum contribution, $2,100, to Mr. Obama, the first-term senator from Illinois, just hours after he declared his plans to run.

“Soros believes that Senator Obama brings a new energy to the political system and has the potential to be a transformational leader,” said Michael Vachon, a spokesman for Mr. Soros.'

This is a good indication for Obama.
