As I expected she would… Today in Rapid City, SD, Hillary Clinton went to bat for Barack Obama in the wake of Bush’s comparison of him to Neville Chamberlain, Ken Vogel reports (via Politico).
She told reporters:
President Bush’s comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is both offensive and outrageous on the face of it, especially […]

It is “generally frowned upon: Calling reporters “sweetie.”” But, Barack Obama says he has a bad habit of “using the word ’sweetie.’” And he says “I do it sometimes with all kinds of people.” Yeh… Right… No doubt those “all kinds of people” are all women, because men generally don’t call me “sweetie.”

The night before last I wrote a post here titled: Get A Grip!!! The post had a two fold message, one: to Clinton supporters threatening to vote for McCain over Obama and two: to Obama supporters who’s comments were getting out of hand here.

Big Tent Democrat notes on Talk Left that Obama gave a speech in MO, before the polls closed in WVa. A little tacky? Kinda… But we already know Obama is looking beyond W Va although the results there could matter.

The first poll from ABC News/Washington Post shows that “64 percent of Democrats in the latest poll say Clinton should remain in the race,” and “even among Obama’s supporters, 42 […]

The Charleston Gazette has an OP/ED by Hillary Clinton today describing why she is running for president and what her goals are as our next president. It’s well worth a read… Here’s a few quips:
I was raised to believe in the promise of America. My grandfather was a factory worker, and my father served in […]
