Republican Bob Schaffer is running for the Senate in Colorado. In order to impress voters about his love for Colorado (he’s originally from Ohio), he came out with a TV ad today that touts the fact that he proposed to his wife Maureen at the summit of Pikes Peak. There’s only one problem: in the ad, the mountain shown in the background is not Pikes Peak at all, but Mt. McKinley in Alaska.
I guess because he is another race, I’m sort of scared of the other race. Cuz we have so much conflict with them.
I want someone who is a full-blooded American as president.
I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist.
I don’t think it’s being racist necessarily, they just don’t like black people that well. The arrogance and all bothers me more than black, but black is a close second.
White people look out for white people, black people look out for black people.
[Obama] takes the cake, because of, you know, who he is.
Next stop, Kentucky…
I really don’t want an African-American as President. I thought about it. I think he would put too many minorities in positions over the white race.
Today, Clinton campaign manager Terry McAuliffe said that Clinton has overcome Barack Obama in the total popular vote.
Huh?
Currently, Florida and Michigan don’t count (because they broke the rules), and Clinton trails by almost 700,000 votes. But Clinton claims that you can’t ignore all those voters in Florida and Michigan. Even so, if you count them, she is still behind by 77,000 votes.
It turns out that the only way you can possibly get a result where Clinton is ahead in the popular vote is if you DON’T count the states that held caucuses, and DO count Florida and Michigan. In other words, it isn’t fair to ignore the voters in Florida or Michigan, but it is fair to ignore the voters in over a dozen states that held caucuses.
The 20-year-old Bill O’Reilly Rage video that has been running around the web wasn’t all that surprising — I used to work in TV and have seen far worse than that from weather-persons. But Colbert’s take-off is priceless.
This is another one of those stories that you just couldn’t make up.
In an interview Tuesday, Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families. He gave up playing golf. “I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., greets Obama supporter Doris Smith during a campaign stop at Tudor’s Biscuit World in Charleston, W. Va. Monday, May 12, 2008. ‘Oh, I didn’t want to do this,’ Smith said, embarrassed, who was wearing the Obama T-shirt as Clinton walked into the restaurant. ‘I didn’t know she was going to be here.’

In one of the more ironic episodes of the Bush Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation last week raided the office and home of the senior official in charge of protecting Federal whistleblowers on suspicion of whistleblower retaliation within his own agency – while he was investigating possible criminal acts within the White House. … In yet another irony, the FBI raid on Bloch’s office and home came as Congress prepared to mark Washington Whistleblower Week, May 12-16, and on the sixth anniversary of the passage of the No FEAR Act in 2002.
I’m not totally sure what to make of this case, as it is too weird. According to Jeff Ruch, the executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Protection, a whistle-blower group, “It’s like finding out that your town fire chief is an arsonist. It’s just sort of jaw-dropping how bizarre this entire episode has been.”
In response to claims that she has no chance of winning the nomination, Clinton has asserted that pledged delegates are allowed to switch sides and vote for her at the convention. Unlike Superdelegates, who are free to support either candidate, pledged delegates are supposedly promised to a specific candidate.
Well, we now know that Clinton is right. One of her pledged delegates (Jack B. Johnson of Maryland, picked in consultation with the Clinton campaign) has switched sides to Obama.
