#2 Iowa, December
Standing atop a stage in a livestock auction barn, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton likened the experience to her quest to woo undecided voters in the closing days before Iowas pivotal caucuses.

Ive been to cattle barns before and sales before, in Arkansas, but Ive never felt like I was the one that was being bid on, Clinton told a crowd in western Iowa. I know youre going to inspect me. You can look inside my mouth if you want. I hope by the end of my time with you I can make the case for my candidacy and to ask you to consider caucusing for me.

To be fair: May, 2007
The death toll was 12.

"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died an entire town destroyed," the Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech to 500 people packed into a sweltering Richmond art studio for a fundraiser.

Obama mentioned the disaster in Greensburg, Kan., in saying he had been told by the office of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius that the state's National Guard had been depleted by its commitment to the Iraq War.

"Turns out that the National Guard in Kansas only had 40 percent of its equipment and they are having to slow down the recovery process in Kansas," Obama said, his shirt sleeves rolled up and his head glistening with sweat.

As the Illinois senator concluded his remarks a few minutes later, he appeared to realize his gaffe.
And it was August any substance came from the obama-nation.

And was it me, or was mccain trying to talk like GW cc: Virginia election results vs. huckles?

Quick question - McCain/Thompson possibility?

#4 "Given what we know about the Clintons, it would seem unlikely that Hillary would quit before every delegate possible was wrung out of the process."

Hah! Looks like the Clintons' are already calling in their favors from the Race hustlers. You know...the folks in Florida and Michigan are feeling all disenfranchised...and shit.

#5 Ya mean, Julian Bond?
Not a major league race baiter like "The Reverends", but worthy enough to inhabit the layer of pond scum just beneath them...

WASHINGTON A prominent civil rights leader has told the Democratic National Committee that refusing to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan would disenfranchise both states' minority communities.

In a Feb. 8 letter to DNC Chairman Howard Dean, NAACP chairman Julian Bond expressed "great concern at the prospect that million of voters in Michigan and Florida could ultimately have their votes completely discounted." Refusing to seat the states' delegations could remind voters of the "sordid history of racially discriminatory primaries," he said.

Shivin a brutha. Hope the payback's worth it. And it'd better work, or you are so screwed...
