Bill gets the prime slot tomorrow night. How many people here think Hillary and Bill are gonna play good cop, bad cop?

Not out of the realm of possibilities. CNN reporting Bill will NOT attend Obama's speech on Thursday.

Howard Wolfson almost begging Obama to praise the Clinton years and the prosperity it brought in the hopes of getting him on board. I say to hell with you sore loser; you classless wonder who thinks the world revolves around you and your wife. She lost -- get over it!

Quid pro quo? What did Ayers get in return for helping launch Obama’s political career? Or do I have it wrong?

Maybe he hasn't gotten his end of it...yet?

However, I truly believe we all REALLY need to start using the proper word for what they are selling - it's COMMUNISM pure and simple.

Well said. You are a true believer and you are right.

Unfortunately the Communists managed to get their hooks into Hollywood and the MSM long before you were born - unless you are well into your 70's. And they have never let go. Control of the media is the path to political power and so we find ourselves governed by wannabe Socialists/Communists who fortunately have not quite managed the leverage to kill off that evil called freedom and capitalism. This could change with 60 Democrat Senators, a larger majority in the House and Obama as President. It would be their one great chance for a total reformation of the United States. I'm very afraid that they won't pass on that chance if they get the opportunity.

Wouldn’t it be great to see the Ayers-Obama thing get major league traction in the early afternoon, and watch Clinton pull out of the keynote tomorrow night? Or better yet, come out live and ENDORSE HILLARY!!!! LOL!!!!

I'd rather wait and have it gain traction gradually. I want to have as shortest period as possible so that if he has to withdraw, confusion reigns. I certainly don't want Hillary to step in at the last moment. Just have Obama badly beaten up with all this.

It’s a stupid song endured at roller rinks in the 70’s. (like I would know that).

Did they play that? I left the broadcast awhile back.

They definitely did. It struck me as odd. It was earlier, I can't honestly remember the exact time or who the speaker was as I've tuned in intermittantly.

“I’d rather wait and have it gain traction gradually. I want to have as shortest period as possible so that if he has to withdraw, confusion reigns.”

Exactly, if Hillary walks away from this convention with the nomination somehow, we’ll have a lot of work to do to counter her, I fear. However, if she has to take over for some reason even a few weeks from now, I think it may be a little easier to counter her strength. And, hopefully, if things go “as planned” Obama will get the nomination, and there will be NOTHING they can do about it... Just a huge implosion.

That song just played on an ad for the shield 2 minutes ago. ;^) (It would fit an Obama persona)

I got the basics of it but will have to see it in writing.
I have central auditory pocessing disorder which is something like hearing dyslexic.
Also dyslexic in reading and writing.
So processing quickly doesn’t work for me.
Had a great time as a legal asst with the county attys for yrs.

If Hillary! becomes the nominee (she won't), then she has her own problems.

Independents hate her and a good number of blacks now resent her and would not vote for her.

It's just that these live threads are more like a “convention watching party” is all.

Well that is true. I suppose I should make an exception for a live thread.

But I think, unfortunately, that the "chat disease" is catching on FR and the one- liner postings are getting to be the norm. For me, that means lots of posts that I have to wade through looking for some informed opinion.

OTOH, I love FR. Been here for just shy of 8 years, posted thousands of times and I'm not leaving any time soon.
