Keith O: Is Hillary a Lieberman Democrat?
She says more nice things about McCain than Obama. Says she and McCain are ready to be commander-in-chief but Obama isn't again. She's praised McCain as a person and how well they get along. Margaret Carlson says it sounds like she wants McCain to be president more than Obama. Hillary Rodham Lieberman?

Her campaign is sickening!

6. Obama chose Lieberman as his "mentor" in the senate
What does Keith have to say about that?

22. Baloney, he chose Lieberman and loved him
he's only distancing himself now during the primary.

Once the GE is underway he'll cozy up to him again.

25. Obama campaigned for LIEberman in 2006, when Joementum was

running as an Independent after losing the Democratic nomination.

If Obama's such a good Dem, why is he campaigning for an anti-Dem Independent?

Obama's a stalking horse for the GOP.

30. Uh, no
Obama endorsed Lamont after Lieberman's flip. He campaigned for Joe, but only while he was a Democrat. Same as Bill and Hillary. You shouldn't get so exercised over junk you make up.

32. Once again can you provide a link to that? Also if Obama did that why did Lamont endorse Obama?
If Obama campaigned for Lieberman in the GE (which he didn't) Lamont would not have endorsed him for president, I'm sure. You seem to post a lot of dishonest crap.

33. I'll never forget Bill Clinton holding a big rally days before the primary for Lieberman
and then never coming back to do the same for Lamont in the GE.

47. I think he'd say "OzarkDem" needs to do some research...
Freshman Senators are assigned mentors by the party leaders.

8. The good, the bad, and the ugly
The Good: So glad that KO is covering this.

The Bad: KO is the only reporter who seems able to actually research the facts.

The Ugly: the Team Clinton willingness lie, and to support McCain over a Democratic nominee.

Campaign nightmare 08.

9. No, because if she said McCain wasn't qualified, she'd be laughed out of town...
...McCain is qualified in the sense that he has years of public service...BO has years of serving only himself.

we should all be rallying around McCain because war-hero trumps First Lady.

10. Keith just said Hillary had more positive things to say about McClain
in the press since saturday than McClain has said of himself. Wake up people.

Did the clintons get McClains fbi file and is there away to find the names of the people they illegally got their fbi files? Love to see how many are still in offic and are super delegates.

12. oh I love someone on television not intiminated by the Clintons
they've played the refs for months... finally it is time to vet Hillary... let's not kid ourselves, the person receiving incoming fire in the 90s was Bill, while Hillary was able to play the victimized wife.

I think she is planning on either asking McCain or Liebermann to be her running mate.

15. she's boiling with rage that her history-making run got interrupted by his
even though she's too polarizing for the country to take advantage of the historic significance of her being the first woman with a shot to win.

16. Huckalree is jumping the shark quite a bit as of late.
When did she devolve into the Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Candidate?

I didn't seem to detect this until her recent attempts to change rules in favor of herself, try to find loopholes that really aren;t there, and to state so many times that she prefers McCain to Obama on all the issues that count...

It's seriously weird.

And before any Hillary Support comes in and claims this is all spin, please make agood arguyment for the many statements she has made, and the actions she has taken--but only after she was not "inevitable."

19. Is Keith an Obama Democrat? If she's the nominee, how much is he hurting the party
with one-sided critiques? Whatever happened to having pundits who support both candidates on the air?

Oberman has nothing to do with it.

old tired "fair and balanced" bullshit. Every story doesn't need two sides.

48. The race for the Democratic nomination has two sides!
Keith should know better. He's not a blogger. Maybe sports reporting didn't train him how to cover an election.

23. KO is not who he used to be. I hear that's because

he's shacked up with a very young woman who worships the Great Obama. Now he's no different from Tucker, Tweetie, or Scarborough. His schtick had gotten old, anyway, so I'm not missing him. Not surprised, either. His principles evidently didn't run very deep or he wouldn't be attacking one Democrat and pimping the other. Just another DINO in the media.

or is this another Clintonesque attempt at character assassination.

43. I highly suspect it's the latter, and we'll never see a shred of proof for this claim.
Edited on Thu Mar-06-08 10:07 PM by BerryBush
Oh, but of course, we know that because he has a YOUNG girlfriend, it goes without saying that she loves Obama, right?

Kids all come running for the delicious taste of Barack Obama!! :sarcasm:

On edit: Oh, and how can Olbermann be "just a DINO," when he's never even claimed to be a Dem in the first place? That's like calling Obama a "Muslim In Name Only"! :rofl:

31. I think her motive is
that If McCain wins, she can run again in 4 years...if Obama wins, she'll have to wait 8 and she'll be considered too old...

Like an advanced form of syphillis, it's definitely started to affect Lieberman's brain.
