He's primary skill is the ability to make the most ludicrous argument almost sound rational.

He IS posting on this forum under a couple of different monikers! OMG!

Environmentalist movement is left wing ideologically. ELF is on the extreme of the environmentalist movement, just as the abortion clinic bombers are on the extreme of the pro-life movement. One is rightist and one is leftist.

I would say that unless a grop has well developed political and economic beliefs, it is not useful to describe them as left or right on the ideological spectrum.  When principled economic right wingers like Jack Kemp or religious/social right-wingers like Mike Huckabee, both of whom I like and respect, are put in the same "right-wing" pigeonhole with skinheads and abortion clinic bombers, I think that a change in terminology is warranted.  Likewise, as someone who is probably a little left of center, I do not wish to be labeled the same as the criminals who are burning down houses in Seattle.  Anyone single-minded enough to be an eco-terrorist probably does not have a good enough understanding of politics and economics for their views to be coherent anyway.

that footage out of Guantanamo? :-)

Obama e-mail:

Our projections show the most likely outcome of yesterday's elections will be that Hillary Clinton gained 187 delegates, and we gained 183.

That's a net gain of 4 delegates out of more than 370 delegates available from all the states that voted.

For comparison, that's less than half our net gain of 9 delegates from the District of Columbia alone. It's also less than our net gain of 8 from Nebraska, or 12 from Washington State. And it's considerably less than our net gain of 33 delegates from Georgia.

The task for the Clinton campaign yesterday was clear. In order to have a plausible path to the nomination, they needed to score huge delegate victories and cut into our lead.

They failed.

It's clear, though, that Senator Clinton wants to continue an increasingly desperate, increasingly negative -- and increasingly expensive -- campaign to tear us down.

That's her decision. But it's not stopping John McCain, who clinched the Republican nomination last night, from going on the offensive. He's already made news attacking Barack, and that will only become more frequent in the coming days.

Right now, it's essential for every single supporter of Barack Obama to step up and help fight this two-front battle. In the face of attacks from Hillary Clinton and John McCain, we need to be ready to take them on.

The chatter among pundits may have gotten better for the Clinton campaign after last night, but by failing to cut into our lead, the math -- and their chances of winning -- got considerably worse.

Today, we still have a lead of more than 150 delegates, and there are only 611 pledged delegates left to win in the upcoming contests.

By a week from today, we will have competed in Wyoming and Mississippi. Two more states and 45 more delegates will be off the table.

But if Senator Clinton wants to continue this, let's show that we're ready.

Clinton E-mail:

Did you feel the race shift?
Those last few days before Hillary's big wins, could you feel the difference? The crowds, the energy, the momentum of the whole race seemed to be shifting in Hillary's direction.

That was you.

You fueled Hillary's stunning comeback, and she and I both know that this campaign would not be where it is today without you. You should be incredibly proud of what you have accomplished.

And in the last 24 hours, you did it again, raising an extraordinary $3 million.

We worked too hard to get to this point to do anything except drive towards victory in Pennsylvania and beyond. And doubling the $3 million you just raised -- reaching $6 million in 48 hours -- will make it clear to everyone watching that we're playing to win.

Give Hillary a head start with another $3 million day.

Let me put what you accomplished yesterday in perspective. More than 45,000 of you contributed to Hillary's campaign in the wake of her wins in Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island.

You didn't just make her comeback possible. You are providing the resources it takes to win big races. We need to hit the ground running in Pennsylvania, and thanks to your commitment to Hillary, we are doing exactly that.......

is Hillary's campaign.

She's in charge. She controls it.

She gracelessly refused to acknowledge Obama's victories, during his winning run. That little piece of information right there shows me what kind of person she is.

She has made the soft insinuation that Obama is a muslim.

She has stated several times that John McCain would be a better President than Obama.

And she calls herself a Democrat???!!!

To some of us it appears that she is willing to destroy the Democratic party and all the exuberant new comers.

I liken the difference between the two candidates to the battle between perfumed and powdered DLC aristocrats and the revolutionary mob, progressive democrats that want to revolutionize politics.

This explains the 'vitriol' against Hillary by the nutroots who have been working hard to get away from DLC politics, ala Joe Lieberman.

To me, Hillary, Joe Lieberman, and John McCain are all cut from the same cloth. (funded by defense contractors)

When she went behind closed doors and wrote her health care plan, she so infuriated other democrats by doing it in secret without their input that she (and Bill) divided the democratic party and handed the Republcans a Congressional victory.

I fully expect Hillary to be the democratic nominee after the Denver convention, because she has shown that she will do whatever it takes.

I don't think Obama stands a chance, given that she is willing to claim the same mantle of fear mongering that George Bush rattled and shook.

I liken it to the steroid scandal in baseball. The use of steroids was so pervasive that in order to compete and be successful everyone was doing it in order to win and everyone was looking the other way ignoring the damage being done to the great American past time (and in Hillary's case the democratic party)...... all for the sake of winning.

I have a bad feeling about the way Hillary is running her campaign, and a bad feeling about her as President, with her and Bills aristocratic big monied connections, ala Abu Dhabi. It will just be more of the same old same old.

Wag your finger if you must.

Mark my words, when Hillary gets appointed to be President by insiders of the credentials committe, and if she becomes President, her position on the
War will be the same as Joe Liebermans, who coincidentally supports John McCain.
