(Poll) Should Hillary Concede?

by Al Rodgers, Wed Jun 04, 2008 at 04:42:30 PM EST

► A backlash has occurred.

Hillary's strongest surrogates Ed Rendell, Hillary Rosen, and Charlie Rangel have gone public with their disapproval.

Frankly, give Hillary her space!

Yesterday's outcome was completely unexpected, completely out of the blue, completely unforeseeable.

There's no way anyone could have seen the end of the primaries season. I mean, who even buys a calender, these days.

► Time to take a pulse.

Open Thread

by Al Rodgers, Tue Jun 03, 2008 at 05:41:07 PM EST

I thought I'd be proactive and throw up an open thread (the other one is full).

► You can post any comment you wish.

► So the polls are open for another three and half hours.

► what will you be watching? CNN, MSNBC, Fox

So far, I've only watched CNN (bland) and Fox (the GOP spokesperson looks unhappy - which for us, can only be interpreted as a positive).

► Fox is posting first wave exit polls. Exit polls come in three waves. Drawing conclusion from only one is highly dubious, but typical Fox (and I say that even though the first wave is favorable to Obama).

► In other news, Maxine Walters just switched her vote.

► DemConWatch says Obama's magic number down to 22. Fox says magic number down to 7. I'll go with DemCon.

(Poll) Unity Ticket - Taylor Marsh Or Tina Fey ??

by Al Rodgers, Tue Jun 03, 2008 at 04:59:09 PM EST

The only way Obama can unify the party is by putting Taylor Marsh on the ticket.

I mean really, there's no difference between Hillary and her strongest supporters, like Taylor or SusanHu.

Actually, there is one big difference - the amount of debt.

($21,000,000.99) is a big hole to dig out of.

So see, Taylor and Susan bring more to the ticket, by bringing less debt to the ticket. Plus, unlike Hillary, Taylor and Susan opposed the invasion.

► But let's settle this the old fashion way - by voting

► Special Will Farrel/Heidi Klum UNITY video!!

► For the record, I'm can't make up my mind - Tina or Heidi (aka Ginger or Mary Ann)!

(Poll) Whoooo Did It? Whooo Did It? (UPDATED)

by Al Rodgers, Mon Jun 02, 2008 at 09:16:04 PM EST

You remember the scene in "Mister Roberts" when James Cagney gets on the speaker, and in his famous accent, demands to know, "Whooooo Did It?!"

There has been a lot of finger pointing today. Everyone has been targeted (well, everyone but the Clinton campaign).

A few Clinton partisans are blaming the sexist, liberal media. Some are blaming the caucus system. And even others are blaming Chairman Howard Dean, and me, Al Rodgers (you have no idea what a honor it is to ranked with Governor Dean).

So let this community settle this the old fashion way - through a caucus!

Oops. Scratch that.

How about a Poll! Yes, polling - according Mark Penn, polling is the world's oldest profession.

Drum roll........................

and the blame goes to...........

Let's Move On

by Al Rodgers, Fri May 23, 2008 at 07:37:35 PM EST

Let's Move-On.

I will give Hillary the benefit of the doubt.

I will extend my hand in friendship.

I hope Clinton supporters are able to meet this standard, some day in the future, when someone on Obama's team makes a mistake. And it will happen. Human make mistakes. It's unavoidable, even under the best of circumstances.

A few weeks ago, a couple of bloggers tried to gin up a phony outrage, saying Barack gave Hillary the finger during a speech.

What disappointed me the most, was not the actions a hand full of hardliners. No, it was how so many regular, everyday, Clinton supporters remained silent during an obvious smear.

As late as last night, a noted Clinton supporter was still trying smear Obama as unAmerican on this blog.

I hope in the future, when some error occurs (ie samantha power, bittergate), you speak up, forcefully, and call on your fellow teammates to move on.

It's time to move-on and focus on McCain.
