MAF is right: it's still being talked about, and is still a big issue. It's the main reason Kennedy decided to come out and endorse Obama

And the backlash is only beginning. If Gore throws his two cents in with an Obama endorsement...oh snaps

The point is that the media talked about race before SC, and is continuing to talk about it today. It's not "old news" as you characterized it. The story is getting bigger sadly, and divisions are popping up; I wonder if these divisions will carry into November assuming Hillary wins the nomination

FlameOfCallandor · « **Reply #1155 on:** January 29, 2008, 01:13:45 PM »

It's news from 2 weeks ago. I was right.

Apology accepted.

Whatever FoC. It's not old news if it's still a developing story every fucking day

ANYWAY, I take back all the bad things I said about Richardson; this story is awesome

Quote

Who else would explain his choice between Clinton and Obama in these terms?

...and he said he likes Obama, telling a story about how Obama saved him during one of last year's Democratic debates:

(Richardson): "I had just been asked a question -- I don't remember which one -- and Obama was sitting right next to me. Then the moderator went across the room, I think to Chris Dodd, so I thought I was home free for a while. I wasn't going to listen to the next question. I was about to say something to Obama when the moderator turned to me and said, 'So, Gov. Richardson, what do you think of that?' But I wasn't paying any attention! I was about to say, 'Could you repeat the question? I wasn't listening.' But I wasn't about to say I wasn't listening. I looked at Obama. I was just horrified. And Obama whispered, 'Katrina. Katrina.' The question was on Katrina! So I said, 'On Katrina, my policy . . .' Obama could have just thrown me under the bus. So I said, 'Obama, that was good of you to do that.'"

FlameOfCallandor · « **Reply #1158 on:** January 29, 2008, 01:21:18 PM »

That is pretty funny. Richardson would have been a decent president.

Pelosi unofficially endorses Obama but it looks like she is starting to be open about it:

"Did you ever see anything like that?" asked Pelosi. "Transferring the mantle from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama. It was the most stunning thing. I mean, I couldn't take my eyes off it. And I didn't have any time to sit there and watch TV, you know - we had a whole schedule. I just was mesmerized by it."

Question for Fragamemnon (but open to others)!

When did Hillary become the candidate who wouldn't cede any political ground to the GOP? I did not get that memo.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1168 on:** January 29, 2008, 08:51:40 PM »

Might have something to do with her being quoted as saying something along the lines that "when they punch you in the teeth you punch back harder."

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1171 on:** January 29, 2008, 10:32:02 PM »

CNN projects McCain as the winner. Since it's a winner take all primary he gets all the delegates.

911 dropping out, to endorse McCain?

Quote

(CNN) – Rudy Giuliani may drop out of the Republican presidential race and endorse John McCain, perhaps as soon as Wednesday, GOP sources tell CNN.

One source says there have been "ongoing discussuons" between the Giuliani campaign and Rick Davis about the move.

A source close to Giuliani confirms the discussions, and says there is staff talk of arranging it Wednesday in California. The source said the principals still need to talk, but "we are working to make it happen."

McCain's problems with conservative voters continue though...

Quote

(CNN) — John McCain has long had trouble courting the most conservative members of his party, and exit polls of Florida Republican primary voters show a sizeable number continue not to support him.

According to the exit polls, 62 percent of primary voters identified themselves as conservative and 37 percent of them voted for Mitt Romney, compared to the 27 percent who went for McCain.

But McCain is the overwhelming favorite among the 28 percent of Republican voters who identified themselves as moderate, and the 11 percent who said they were liberal. The Arizona senator beats Romney among moderates 40-22 percent, and among liberals 46 percent to 25 percent.

President John McCain.

President of the United States of America, Mr. John McCain.

Also, Attorney General Rudolph Giuliani and Secretary of State Joseph Lieberman.

I was thinking more along the lines of Secretary of Homeland Security Rudolph Giuliani.

I dunno, Freakonomics pretty much convinced me that the drop in NYC's crime rate was only tangentially related to Giuliani's work as mayor.
