If the New Hampshire Democratic Partys 100 Club dinner is any bell weather Barack Obama will handily win here. When Obama, the dinners last speaker, took the stage the crowd surged forward chanting O-bam-a and Fired Up, Ready to Go! So many people pressed toward the stage that an announcer asked people to please take their seats for safety concerns.
By comparison Hillary was twice booed. The first time was when she said she has always and will continue to work for "change for you. The audience, particularly from Obama supporters (they were waving Obama signs) let out a noise that sounded like a thousand people collectively groaning.

Consider the fact that JFK Jr. was considering a primary run for the Senate seat from NY when.... OOOPS......
She's starting to look more and more like Norma Desmond.
Nice job.
I would welcome the election of a conservative black man as President of this country. I’m afraid that the people fall for that old “change chant” every time from the Democrats. It’s scary when it’s mouthed constantly by a candidate but then not defined. What kind of CHANGE specifically?! I wish voters would remember that a candidate can be too groomed, too smooth, and that all that glitters is not gold. If a liberal black man - or woman - is elected President, and the result of their “change” is similar to Jimmy Carter or Bill “the man from Hope” Clinton, I’m afraid it will hurt any future conservative black person’s chances if they should choose to run. Carter like to have insured that a liberal peanut farmer from Georgia would never be elected again about two or three years into his Presidency - well, actually he did insure it.
Bump!
What REALLY happened in Iowa: Mainstream Media permanently lost its decades-old role of selecting the Democrat nominee 1/4/08
Posted by Steve Boriss in DemNomination.

The biggest and longest-lasting decision that Iowa Democrats made this week was not who their Presidential nominee will be, but how this person will be selected from here on out. Exactly two years after MSNBCs Howard Fineman wrote his prophetic column, and about 40 years since it all began, the American Mainstream Media Party (AMMP) is over. Consisting of national journalists, but operating more like its own political party, the AMMPs single most important function came-up every four years securing the Democratic nomination for the candidate with whom the mainstream media and the center-left Beltway establishment was most comfortable.
It all began in the 1960s when a Vietnam War-torn Democratic Party was thrown into disarray, leading to the disastrous nomination of the unelectable George McGovern. Mainstream outlets rushed to fill this power vacuum by applying objective journalism techniques to steer Democratic voters to the acceptable candidate for example by transforming Howard Deans innocent, high-spirited yelp into the crazed, blood-curdling scream of a madman, sending unwitting Democrat voters hurtling into the waiting arms of the lackluster, but elitist-pleasing John Kerry. Mission accomplished.
But as Fineman predicted, just as new grassroots blogo-spherics overcame Dan Rathers last minute, fake, but accurate, forged memo prior to Bushs reelection, they also overcame the AMMPs efforts to foist an un-politically-talented, inexperienced, Beltway-establishment-pleasing Hillary Clinton on Iowa Primary voters. The nomination for the best Hillary-supporting actor may go to Wolf Blitzer for the CNN debate, and the nomination for most shameless suck-up to the Today Shows Meredith Viera (see appalling video here). But this year, the nomination for the best nominators goes to the people of Iowa.
I didn't recognize our esteemed ex-presidents in the Woodstock picture before today. I guess we're not surprised she looks so disinterested while he's getting his jollies by copping a feel under the blanket from the El Camino.

only a racist could make that statement. Obama may be a communist but he isn't evil
As I look at that picture, it reminds me of McCain in the debate saying he couldn’t make Woodstock like Hillary, he was “tied up at the time”
Thanks for posting this excellent summary of what the Iowa bs er cowcai really means:

It appears that the MSM and American Mainstream Media Party are both becoming flushed down into the liberal cesspool hell.

Unlike Teddy, who was authoring nation-transforming legislation within 2 years of his coronation, she doesn't legislate or advocate.
That is all true, except that remaining in the Senate gives her immunity from Federal Investigations. According to what Dick Morris said, that is why she ran for the Senate in the first place.
She will be biting the head off a rat before this race is over.
Thanks very much for the ping. With a big bowl of popcorn and a beer I read all 310 comments...from the hillaryous to the insightful to the vindictive. What a great Saturday night! I’m lovin’ it.
Thanks to all FReepers.
Well, I’m glad to see SOMEONE is having fun watching this disaster;) I’m sceered sh**less, someone not fit to run this nation or our military is going to win the democrat nomination. Someone not fit to walk in a true conservative’s shoes is going to win the republican nomination. Popcorn and beer, hell, pass the bourbon.
No, it doesn't.
That was a given.
Someone not fit to walk in a true conservatives shoes is going to win the republican nomination.
We shall see. ...(as I walk downstairs to grab the Jack Daniels :) )
Heh Heh....Hildebeast must be boiling, seething and cursing El Bent One.
Hildebeast, you truly are a pathetic creature. I wish you a painful political New Year.
< snicker >
She'll get nasty, mean and vicious now that her royal destiny's been tampered with.
He will not win the south...hence he will not win the election. Huckabee has a better chance.
Only an imbecile could make that statement. Shame on you.
