[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Russia has isolared itself, we will first help Georgians, then do something about Russia. Too much to say we were near going to war. Quoting Condi.

[eeevil conservative]

last night was a shock to me...

For the very first time, I found myself truly liking McCain....

[Laverne]

I admire Condi so much, I find her to be so well spoken, so intelligent, so prepared.

LOLing at Scheifer asking if the whole situation is “our” fault. Typical liberal, blame america first member of the media. Disgraceful.

Condi knocks it out of the park.

[Son House]

From your link;

He not only continued to deny his vote in the face of 2 pieces of documentation
showing otherwise but called the messenger a liar.

Again, here is Obama's March 13, 2003, vote in the
IL State Senate Health & Human Services Committee,



"DP#1" means "Do Pass Amendment #1." "DPA" means "Do Pass as Amended."

Here is the original bill. Here is Amendment #1.
Here is the federal Born Alive Infants Protection Act.

Obama first voted in favor of Amendment #1 and then
voted against the Born Alive bill as amended. As Dave Andrusko of NRLC told me,
Obama voted for the bill before he voted against it.
It couldn't be more clear.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Schieffer says mightn’t the conflict be our fault because we encouraged Georgia. Condi says told everyone was warned not to use force. The two small territories final status will be settled through negotiations.

[Laverne]

Same here eeevil! I thought McCain was wonderful and in fact, sent him a donation this morning based on his performance last night. I think a lot of people were utterly surprised by his performance, and based on the look on David Gergan’s face last night and his commentary, he was stunned at how well McCain did.

[9YearLurker]

Mitchell really is a shameless (and calculating) rumor-mongerer.

[shalom aleichem]

If Holbrook is indeed saying these things (i.e. it is Russia’s fault) then we should acknowledge his honesty and attempt to redeem himself among honorable Americans.

DBM is so lacking in news finding and so full of bias. For one thing I’d like to know how all those savage Chechnians got in there to rape, pillage and plunder. I would not be surprised if the Russians airlifted them in after emptying their prisons and mental hospitals (ala Castro’s Mariel stunt). So now the Ruskies say, “I ain’t us. It is a spontaneous outburst of freedom fighters.”

[longtermmemmory]

Obama rapid response is becoming a farce.

It is basicly deny fast regardless of fact.

(see CNN hissy fit after the warren debate)

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Bayh and Pawlenty both say no news on the Veepstakes. Schieffer asks what about Georgia. Pawlenty says this shows we need McCain. Bayh says: “WE ARE NOT ALL GRORGIANS”

[rodguy911]

Yeah Laverne, they just gave the 11 oclock and have it headed to Key West and then Ft. Myers as a Cat 1. We may be on the dirty side for awhile we how bout’ you?

[Morgan in Denver]

FtN

Will: both did well last night. Obama wins IF he can get 30-35% of the evangelical vote.

Dionne: Obama did well with audience.

Jan Crawford Greenberg: McCain energized the group and Supreme Court comments were good.

Gerson: Obama did okay but does not speak well to evangelical issues. Obama has natural limitations.

Dionne: Young evangelicals don’t care about abortion and traditional issues.

Greenberg: Strength and experience count. McCain has it. Supreme Court is important.

Will: Roe v Wade misunderstood by most Americans.

Greenberg: GOP base will turn out because of Supreme Court

Dionne: Romney/Mormon problem? He says yes. Dem VP will be Bayh or Bidden.

Will: Sam Nunn for VP

[Son House]

One more from the Jill Stanek link previously posted;

Furthermore, here is the Republican Senate Staff Analysis from that day, expressing the same understanding of the chain of events:



Senator Obama needs to show his own evidence that none of this is true.

[rodguy911]

Darn I missed here there and we have no mtp only olympics.

[Bernard]

When the FNS panel was talking about VP choices, a picture of Evan Bayh flashed on the screen. I thought it was John Edwards. Since image is so important to Team Obama, that should rule out Bayh.

Of course, maybe people who would even consider voting for Barack Obama would know the difference between Edwards and the other guy.

[shalom aleichem]

Me too. I did not think McCain had it in him, but I now do. Reflecting on his past, Annapolis, family military history (which Harkin says is a negative), courage and being a maverick, etc., I guess it was there all the time. He is gelling at the right time. Morphing into Luke Skywalker before our very eyes!

[longtermmemmory]

FYI

Debate is being rerun on c-span right now.

Obama is ummmmm....up ahhh now.

[rodguy911]

Yeah, me too, he hit a bases loaded grand slam last night, can’t wait to see what Rush does with it.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

GEORGIANS.
