Tick ... tick ...tick
I thought it was computer lingo...as in cobalt. (blushing)
As the Global Warming groupies would say “Who is paying AJ?”
Enjoy the ride. The MSM will not allow any damage to be inflicted on their O.

Denver surprise with Hillary as nominee?
The rumor mill rumbles of supers changing to HRC

Caught this via a Luciannne to Alegre’s Corner to Powerline link… all hitting the blogosphere yesterday.
Politico documents the DNC happy face is all but that under the surface. It appears that the DNC leadership is feeling left out in the cold with BHO not checking in to coordinate his campaign talking points with them. And as the party leadership smiles, their underling staffers are whining:
Privately, however, there is a different message coming from some Democratic quarters on the Hill and on K Street. Some Democratic leadership staffers complain that, having defeated the vaunted Clinton political machine in the primaries, the Obama campaign now feels a “sense of entitlement” that leads to “arrogance.”
One Democratic aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity, compared the Obama campaign unfavorably to President Bush’s administration.
“At least Bush waited until he was in the White House before they started ignoring everybody,” the aide said.
“These relationships matter,” said a House Democrat close to the leadership. “I really hope these guys try to get off on the right foot. We all know what happened to [former President] Jimmy Carter and [former President] Bill Clinton. We don’t want to see a repeat of that.”
But the DCCC’s exec director, Brian Wolffe, really lays out the BS - saying “… that some of the “supposed arrogance” coming from the Obama camp is in reality a misinterpreted sense of confidence in the campaign’s plan for winning the Oval Office, including grass-roots mobilization, in-state political infrastructure, messaging and get-out-the vote operations.
uh huh…
Now a side trip to the NY Daily News article, where we find HRC is busy shuffling her leftover campaign cash… rolling it over into her “2012 Senate campaign”. Or would that really be a 2012 POTUS run?
That may all depend upon what happens by Aug 28th. Because that’s her deadline for the donors to respond to whether she may keep the cash for a future campaign. If they don’t agree, she returns it.
Let’s see… Aug 28th. How convenient that also happens to be the last day of the DNC Convention. Things that make you go hummmmmm….
Now another side trip. Blog news, unverified as far as I know. But the pro-Hillary site, Alegre’s Corner, claims eight supers are planning on casting their votes for HRC in Denver… assuming that they can, of course.
Big news folks - it looks like our efforts in contacting those Superdelegates are starting to pay off, so keep on writing to them (ok, maybe Donna B’s a waste of time). There are unconfirmed reports, based on phone banking efforts to reach out to Super Ds, that eight previously Obama SDs expressed that, given the opportunity, they would vote for Hillary at the convention.
I heard about an interview Will Bower of PUMA did recently, where he said delegates are starting to say they’ll vote for Hillary in Denver if the DNC did the right thing and ran an open and fair convention. That means a roll call vote with Hillary’s name put into nomination, and on the ballot.
So I shot an email to Bower to ask him where he got that info from, and here’s what he sent me regarding the efforts of a friend of his:
“A large phone banking effort to the super d’s combined with Obama’s flips and poor presumptive nominee performance, etc have yielded doubts within the super delegates, enough that 3 elected and 5 DNC members have confided that should they have the opportunity to do so, they will vote for Hillary.”
Maybe this is why BHO and the Toxic Trio are pushing so hard to keep Hillary off the roll call ballot eh? I’ve been wondering what they’re so afraid of now it looks like we have part of the answer.
PING to #108
I need to run out for some popcorn.
Great Photo!
The comments are heating up over at Atlas Shrugs. It’s a duel between Techdude and AJ Strata with some dufus from Australia tossing in his shrimp.
LOL. Delivered right to my door.
I wonder if it will be enough for the coming debacle.
Just for you, madame ... ;)
That’s quite an eye-opener .. and doesn’t surprise
me in the least. She’s being too quiet .. and BillyJeff too.
I didn’t have time to read the entire thread, any chance he was actually born in Canada, that’s my guess...
The people who viewed the passport records looked at alot of them, several of the candidates and I think other people(celebrities?) as well. They were just unscrupulous nosy people taking advantage of their access, I don’t think they were “working” for anyone. And, as was stated at the time, there is not any special information in those files, it was the principle, you’re not supposed to nose around those records.
