According to the Toe Sucker, Obama is in a bit of a quandry.
Should he oppose the spending cutoff in Iraq and look presidential, or should he cave in to the hard left and knock out Edwards?

Pelosi and Reid both have bodies that have already caved on them. The words “cavern” or “cadaverous” comes to mind. Who was that old senator from California who looked like a cadaver?

The only predictable thing is that Morris hates Hillary. On any other subject, he’s out in left field. Maybe it’s a gay thing for Bubba.

The only predictable thing is that Morris hates Hillary. The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
One reason Morris hates Hillary so much is that he knows her too well, or:
If everyone knew Hillary
Like Dick know's Hillary
everyone would hate her too!

Obama will abstain from voting on the issue and won’t say anything about it.
To: Zakeet
Hillary will support the troops, turning to the center.
Obama will straddle, having it both ways.
Edwards will continue to play disadvantaged poor boy to curry the union money.

they are also moving toward a civil war within their own party. If Pelosi and Reid agree to give Bush a new bill providing funding for the war without a deadline for troop withdrawal, they will redeem their partys image nationally and show their support for the troops, but they will alienate their left wing. A bitter and divisive battle will ensue one that could cost the Democrats the White House in 2008.
What a wonderful thought!

As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) move toward an accommodation with the White House over funding for the war in Iraq, they are also moving toward a civil war within their own party. If Pelosi and Reid agree to give Bush a new bill providing funding for the war without a deadline for troop withdrawal, they will redeem their partys image nationally and show their support for the troops, but they will alienate their left wing. A bitter and divisive battle will ensue one that could cost the Democrats the White House in 2008. So who's got the popcorn, nachos and cokes (or other beverage)?
OTOH, this sort of assumes that Stretch and Dingy Harry are *not* part of the left wing of the DemonRat party. I think they are, and always have been.

Who was that old senator from California who looked like a cadaver? Don't know who you are thinking of. However, Sheets Byrd is not only looking like one these days, he's also sounding and acting like one of the undead.

On one hand, Obama's natural constituency is relatively moderate, so it would make sense to be accomodating. On the other hand, Hillary is situating herself as a moderate, so it would make sense for Obama to swing left and knock out anybody in the anti-war niche.
The first strategy has a low chance of getting him the moderate constitutency or the nomination. The latter strategy has a good chance of getting the hard left, but low chance of getting him the nomination. He would end up being the VP candidate.
Of course, all of this assumes Al Gore won't run. If (when) he runs, all bets are off.

I remember now. It was Senator Alan Cranston, the ultimate cadaver!

Obama will be against ANY military action against muslims, no matter the circumstances.

Who was that old senator from California who looked like a cadaver?Perhaps you mean Alan Cranston. The interesting thing about him is that, despite his "cadaverous" appearance, he was in tremendous physical shape, as he demonstrated repeatedly by winning his age group in Masters sprints.

Yes, you are right, I had just remembered 2 posts before you. I did not know that he was in good physical shape.

Hey! I just heard McCain on the radio say that since Reid says that we have lost the war that Reid should tell the American people who we lost to. Did we lose to Al Quaida? The Americans have a right to know who Reid says we have lost to.
WAY TO GO, guys! Youre getting the hang of it. This is getting fun tonight.
