So, my dad thinks OBama needs to get out of the race. That's it. It's over people.
So my dad has both OBama books (one of them signed, even) and had been holding out. We teased him about it all the time, and he finally relented, just like Hamlette's mother. He was lost on the praising of Reagan thing.

The he read OBama's defense of liberalism, and came away asking if that man is really a repig.

But since he's a good democrat, he donated to Hillary Clinton's campaign. He knows his girl has beat back the GOP before, and she can do it again. This democratic family is back together again.

I just got the letter from HRC's campaign thanking him for his contribution.

Which reminds me...

5. When did "his girl" beat back the GOP?
Didn't the Clinton fatigue give us 12 years of a Republican Congress and at least 4 years of a Bush Presidency?

6. But who reads? This is all about *feelings*.
Four months ago, I expected a "lively intra-party conversation", not a bunch of screaming thugs who had been through EST training.

I seldom post here any more. It's just post after post about how evil Hillary is, infrequent posts that a certain non-politician politician is the avatar of Transformation, and the rare pro-Hillary message that is jumped on within fifteen seconds of appearing.

REAL discussions of the weaknesses of the contenders -- and their strengths? Zero. Nada. Zip. The empty set.

We are doomed. Doomed, I tell you.

--p!

Obama: Most Liberal Senator In 2007

Campaigns Tracker 2008
By Brian Friel, Richard E. Cohen and Kirk Victor, National Journal

Thursday, Jan. 31, 2008

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the most liberal senator in 2007, according to National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent presidential candidate shifted further to the left last year in the run-up to the primaries, after ranking as the 16th- and 10th-most-liberal during his first two years in the Senate.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., the other front-runner in the Democratic presidential race, also shifted to the left last year. She ranked as the 16th-most-liberal senator in the 2007 ratings, a computer-assisted analysis that used 99 key Senate votes, selected by NJ reporters and editors, to place every senator on a liberal-to-conservative scale in each of three issue categories. In 2006, Clinton was the 32nd-most-liberal senator.

If you were any kind of honest person you would set him straight, but I bet you won't.

Wait, you're serious. If your dad says something, then it must be so? That, based on what your dad says, the front runner should quit?
