This is interesting: The New York Times political blog 'The Caucus' reports that while all of the Democratic presidential candidates are visiting YearlyKos, the convention of left-wing bloggers, Hillary Clinton didn't get quite the reception she would have liked:
Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barack Obama and former Senator John Edwards are among those coming. And, it seemed, they were all participating in the break-out sessions.
While they are all still coming for the main show, it turns out that Senator Clinton is not attending the break-out session. Her campaign says it told the Kos organizers a week ago that she would not be attending the individual session, but the organizers did not announce it until tonight, at the opening dinner. The announcement drew big boos from the audience.
We already know that the left-wing bloggers do not have a lot of love for Hillary due to her Iraq war vote, worries about scandals, and general concerns over her electability. So did the Kos people intentionally hold back on the announcement to present her in a bad light? Could be.
The next few weeks should be very interesting in Democratic presidential politics. John Edwards is a non-candidate, everyone but him knows he doesn't have a prayer. Barack Obama is falling apart at the seams, as his statements on Pakistan and visiting our enemies have highlighted exactly the sort of inexperience that makes him unelectable. For those who do not want Hillary as their nomination, they are running out of choices. It's either make their peace with her, reach down and take another hard look at Bill Richardson, or startup the Draft Al Gore machine.
Oh man, it is late and I must be tired... After I read that, for a fleeting moment, I almost felt sorry for the 'rats. I mean, sheesh, what a field of choices! :-/
Sorry Kossacks are stuck with Hillary. Tough luck dupes.
the poor misguided kos kids. They will hate her for a while and then fall back in love with her.
Where was Hillary when Bill was getting his brain slobbered on?
What’s really stupid of the dems is that a moderate dem could run away with the election. Of course, there are few moderates left in the dem party.
As another poster mentioned, they're stuck with her.
it all boils down in the end to
party loyalty
and millions of boomer women and
their neutered husbands
want a
woman for president.
Don't tell me these people think Obama and Edwards are electable?
It would be better if the wheels don’t come off of the Hussein campaign just yet, if he collapses, then Billiary would have free reign to gather a literal mountain of cash before our candidate even shakes lose from the pack.
The Kos Boyz have co-opted anyway, the plan to “Change the Dhimmi Party” is humorous as the Dhimi prez candidates are now dictating terms to the Koz Boyz.
How funny, maybe Billiary will bake cookies for the Boyz..
Ha! It’s great to see these candidates self destruct one at a time. It brings a smile to my face. :)
Hey, Wait a minute!!! The author forgot Dennis Kucinich...oh wait.
You left wing idiots are stuck with Hillary.
Deal with it.
With any luck, the Dims will repeat their ‘68 convention, with the peace-commies burning cars like they were disaffected youth in Paris.
Egads, I am about to turn in and now you have given me nightmares with that pic...full body shudder....
Funny pick, no farm animals were hurt in theposting of that picture...LOL!
The libs have gravitated so far to the left that Hillary is considered a “conservative.”
Pathetic.
I caught the opening of the Charlie Rose show. I had to laugh. It was a panel on Obama’s Pakistan statement. They had Obama’s foreign policy advisor on the panel. It was GREG CRAIG, a real Clintonista with a past. Talk about a mole and a plant. Obama is clueless on foreign policy and he is having to rely on Clinton moles to put words in his mouth and as soon as the words come out, the Clinton camp has a counterattack. Obama is an idiot, once a member of the Clinton crime family always a member of the Clinton crime family. As Vince Foster found out there is no turning back. If God forbid, Hillary gets elected, Mr. Craig is in like Flynn in that new administration for services rendered in sabotaging the Obama campaign.
Remember what Joe Biden said last winter:
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."Which of the three would be best for the GOP to be up against in the general?
...
"Barack Obama is probably the most exciting candidate that the Democratic or Republican Party has produced at least since I've been around," Biden said on the call. "And he's fresh. He's new. He's smart. He's insightful. And I really regret that some have taken totally out of context my use of the world 'clean.'"Biden said he was referring to a phrase used by his mother. "My mother has an expression: clean as a whistle, sharp as a tack," Biden said.
That picture has always bothered me. I think it is photo-shopped. Really, look a the arms. Don’t they look a little thin like it might be a Katie Couric arm? LOL
