...It were just money, the richest or best financed person would always win.

Look at the picture Lance: Obama is beating a lifetime political machine, arguably the best organized in US history. There is no one who knows more about campaigning than the Clintons, with maybe the exception of Karl Rove, and he's on the sidelines this time.

Obama, Lance, beat all the others to this point, has undermined his opponent, out-fundraised her in the small donations sector even though she has all the big doners, stripped her support in plainly Clinton strongholds, all with Hilary having the better machine. Any reasonable person would have to conclude this is just not money or dumb luck.

The man has something libnazi's like, plain and simple. Take a look at this guys resume': he grabbed power in the US Seenate, arguably one of the most powerful positions in US Government, when he saw a window, correctly measured the demographics, all in one swoop. If luck is opportunity meeting preperation, this guy had the smarts to see it and act swiftly. Even if he loses, and it looks less likely every day, he's done a stellar job, and is still politically survivable.

So before you broad brush this guy, try looking, without your morose-colored glasses, at the real picture.

Obama should also be striking back at Huckabee after his disgusting remark at the NRA convention, and H is supposed to be a so-called preacher. He is quoted on Meet The Press that it was a dumb remark. Well, I've got news for him, it went way beyond dumb. He needs to be muzzled, and we can all thank our lucky stars he fell out of the race when he did when everyone realized what a joke he was! I'm tired of these public figures spouting off crap, then apologizing for it. If they aren't smart enough to think before they speak then maybe they aren't capable of a leadership. All the sugar coating is melting off, and it just shows their true nature.

Well, Shar, after the Penn. primaries and Obama's foot-in-mouth comment stereotyping rural America as gun-toting religous zealots, I'm forced to agree. If Huckabee can put his foot in his mouth, Obama has the God-Given right to do it too!

Other spouters:

Harry reid - no one has apologized more than Harry Reid, after the most irresponsible remarks that can be made.

John, 'Abscam' Murtha - another propagandist that use's this tactic all the time.

Hillary Clinton - a litany of such remarks, and then apologizes, like Obama by saying 'the folks just misunderstood me!'

Curiously, the one guy who rarely takes it back is .....Bush! Then again, we republicans like a guy who means what he says.

Yes all 19% of the country 'like a guy who means what he says'. The remaining 81% want 'a guy' who leads by listening to what the majority of the people want, after all it has not been for the last 7 years but it still is suppose to be a democracy.

He won two elections. This is how republicans gauge 'approval'.

If you're looking for Bush to apologize, I think you're going to be waiting quite a while....

Bush apologize - he isn't smart enough to know that he's said anything stupid because that's just the way he thinks all the time. It isn't just a momentary lapse of intelligence. It's a permanent one. And if he were a Democrat, SourPuss 4 would trounce the hell out of him.

You could be a child molester and get elected in Oregon. We know this because libnazis DID!

You can be any kind of person and have a chance of getting elected in Oregon if you are a liberal.

Consider the milestones:

Neil Goldschmidt - fair haired young lion bankrolled by Phil Knight (NIKE) who was covered by the libnazi press over what they called an 'affair' with a 14 year old girl. For You and I, it's called 'rape'

His other claim to fame - he let the Rashneeshe scum who poisoned a resturaunt and conspired to kill a US Attorney go. The Rashneeshe's were the libnazi equivelent of the Jim Jones crowd, out in Antelope. Who siad liberals don't have a religion...?

Barbara Roberts - Common Housefrau elected Governor.............? I guess they were fresh out of child molestors....

The current chucklehead Ted Kulengowski. He was Goldschmidts butt boy, and got the press gagged over the 14 year old honey, for 20 years no less, and kept the other who knew in perks and power.

I think Republicans have been keeping the democratic race going until the last moment in order to even out the money and help you to elect the weakest candidate to run against.

Why do I think this?
