    Hmmm, 1090 would not be good…that would mean I need to find another entertainment venue for my drives home. I remember listening to Goldstein during the Hannukah storm and all he talked about was: Cats are a Connoisseur of warmth (about 10 times in so many minutes…I kid you not)

    Mentioned Randy Rhoades last night blasting the Clinton campaign for complaining about Shuster and having him suspended by MSNBC.
    Today Ed Schulz was doing the same, people called in about McCartyism and that Shusters suspension was just plain wrong. (I immediately figured Roger is getting a hernia).
    Then Schulz said: If Schuster gets suspended, Olbermann should be too….

    This is fun….left hand is starting to complain about the other left hand….

    You sure did good for not being a republican. You’ve got some previous shyster experience haven’t you? Oops, you’re a democrat, of course you do.
      
    Ever go to house.gov/ethics and compare the number of democrats to republicans?

    We need a thread for the Potomac primary results. Exit polls are predicted as much as 2-to-1 blowout in favor of Obama. White voters in Virginia split evenly between Clinton and Obama — a bad sign for Clinton placing her hopes on racial voting by Whites in the March 4 primaries in Ohio and Texas. Huckabee might just pull off an upset against McCain in Virginia.

    Where is our dedicated thread?

    @ 4

    Ever go to house.gov/ethics and compare the number of democrats to republicans?

    The membership is five Democrats and five Republicans. Is that supposed to be a problem for Democrats?

    If you weren’t talking about committee membership, then, by all means, be more specific. Provide link.

    @ 5 – Polls going in to today showed Virginia 60%-38%, advantage Obama.

    Maryland and DC were roughly the same margins.

    And actually, Clinton is pinning any racial hopes on splitting whites, getting women, and getting Latinos, not so much getting whites. Upper class and middle upper class whites have been voting for Obama since the first primaries and caucuses…

    MS @ 4:

    You just ought to be glad that Nancy Pelosi is THE most spineless Speaker of the House in our nation’s history.

    “Drain the swamp” Yeah, bull shit.

  9. 9

    Also, while there is no doubt that Obama will win Maryland, bad weather in that state is a big advantage to Clinton since older voters who go for clinton tend to mail in their ballots.

    Huckabee is leading McCain in VA.

    Shit, this is a classic!!

    The Huck-ster is virtually mathematically eliminated and he still beats McCain in the RED states and now newly trending BLUE states.

    I don’t care how you spin it, this is foreshadowing D-E-F-E-A-T for the Republicans in 2008.

    Buchanan County in Virginia shows Obama’s problem with reaching the working class. Wikipedia says:

    In the county, the population was spread out with 21.40% under the age of 18, 8.50% from 18 to 24, 31.20% from 25 to 44, 27.50% from 45 to 64, and 11.50% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females there were 102.90 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 102.30 males.

    The median income for a household in the county was $22,213, and the median income for a family was $27,328. Males had a median income of $29,540 versus $17,766 for females. The per capita income for the county was $12,788. About 19.80% of families and 23.20% of the population were below the poverty line, including 30.20% of those under age 18 and 16.90% of those age 65 or over.

    And the county as gone 90% Clinton, 9% Obama.

    Actually, looking over the county by county results that have reported over 50% results… there’s a lot of counties like Buchanan that are strongly going for Clinton that fit that same demographic.

    Counties with high african american populations and better incomes are going for Obama, and counties where the opposite is true – Clinton is doing much better.

    DJ @ 11:

    How’s the state breaking overall?

    That’s the big question. Overwhelmingly for Obama, and with 32% reporting for both Republicans and Democrats there are nearly 2 Democrat voters for every Republican voter.

    Scar face and the Huck-ster in in a virtual tie.

    Obama has more votes than all the Republicans combined.

    This is playing out all over America in this primary season.

    The modern day conservative movement died November, 2006. The funeral is this November 4th.

    See ya there. Oh, and don’t wear black because we’re going to be celebrating. You know like a big Irish wake. Lot’s of drinking. Lot’s of new Demcorats will be born in August of 2009

    @ 13:

    Oh, yeah he did! Like a speeding snail. Yikes, that McCain is whoopin’ ass, huh?

    Am I right?

  16. 16

    @ 15, I was just sayin… It seemed like the majority of the advance votes were for Huckabee, hence his big lead.

    It’s interesting to see it play out.

    @ 14 – Yeah, it’s going for Obama, I figured Richard Pope had already stated that…

    As I outlined in my comment @ 7 – it was a foregone conclusion with the pollings what they were. I was looking at what the deeper results were saying, since in Washington State, all the counties seemed to caucus 2-1 for Obama.

    DustinJames @ 11,12

    Yes, it is sad that some dirt-poor Appalachian counties in Virginia, with hardly any Black population (such as 2.65% in Buchanan), are voting heavily in favor of Hillary Clinton by 90% margins. A lot of these folks probably don’t know any better, and may be rejecting Barack Obama because of the color of his skin. Will they also favor a Republican in November for these same racial reasons? I guess we will find out in nine months …

    Let’s see how Fairfax County, a suburban DC county with a 8.83% Black population (and one helluva lot more voters than Buchanan County) votes between Obama and Clinton. I think that Obama will carry Fairfax County by at least 20 points over Clinton.

    I also note that 7% of the Virginia primary voters were Republicans crossing over to the Democratic primary. They favored Obama by 71% to 29%. I think the number of Republicans crossing over to vote for Obama in November (because they are inspired and think he is the best person for the job) will far higher than the number of Democrats crossing over to vote for McCain in November (because they don’t like the color of his skin).

  18. 18

    17 – It absolutely will, based off the demographic alone that it’s annual median household income is in excess of $100,000.

    Those voters clearly go to Obama. The open primary, as you note, also definitely helped Obama over Clinton.

    Gut feeling however, is that if it’s Obama vs McCain in November, in the end run, you won’t see that same crossover, or nearly as much of it. If it’s Obama vs Huckabee, I think you’ll see MUCH less of it.

  19. 19

    @ 17 – A question that popped up in re-reading your statement, I wonder how many voters are voting a same-color ticket, because of the color?

  22. 22

    What’s the matter? Goldy can’t hack working a real job in the real world like the rest of us? Typical. Maybe YLB (who is unemployed), and Roger “Where’s the free handouts?” Rodent, who doesn’t work either and is a leech on the welfare and benefit roles can offer some help.

  23. 23

    @22: I would take up a handout for Mark1 – but I am not sure he could actually count the money if I gave it to him. Since he is a washington republican his actual “counting” skills are suspect.

    However, I bet he is very good at predicting – even without any actual data points – kind of like Lesser.

    I make the prediction that Mark1 gets a real job soon – so he doesn’t have to off on half-baked accusations about others. Also, when he actually loses his job (due to the republican recession) – he won’t go on unemployment and be a drain on the rest of us real working folks.

    If I do see Mark1 out panhandling on the street, I will resist the temptation to kick his sorry, weak, republican butt and throw him a real dime instead. Even unemployed republican fools deserve some sympathy in the coming republican caused recession.

    Just wondering why most of the republicans I know are mentally and physically “challenged”. I guess they look up to Reagan because he was some kind of real man (at least in the B movies) and they are not. Look at Lesser – the poor chub has learned to dress since college but that is about all you can say for him. He is not the swiftest boat in the river – but he caries the most tonnage.

    GBS you would not make a pimple on McCains ass.you who the navy booted.your a scumbag plain and simple.

  25. 25

    @ 24 is that you JCH? Too afraid of coming out? Or are you under 500 tons of prime Hawaiian land slide soil?

    Damn that would be sad.

    Hawaiian soil is pretty rich and fertile. JCH would just sterilize it.

  26. 26

    Now now now Me, I have to stick up for our half-brother GBS. Both PacMan and I understand the circumstances and you know put into the same situation I might have reacted the same way.

    Attack GBS for his lousy political viewpoint. But not his service…

    Meanwhile back at the PuddyRanch… more later. Must act like Pelletizer and post one sentence per thread.

  27. 27

    BO: Asking about JCH? Hmmm… so you were a poster with a different nick before. I must PuddyStudy your comments more carefully and figger you out.

    I was told BO arriving in Hawaii would be a herbicide devastation accident in the making.

  28. 28

    DustinJames are you saying the poor dumb crowd likes Heilary? Really?

    Come on a poor dumb libbie? The 16%ers claim libbies are the fertilizer of the earth. Just ask Pelletizer and his pellet droppings.

    Looks like Reuters posted something funny.
    Since it’s positive to a Donkey, why didn’t Goldy post it?

    Fresh from their feud on the campaign trail, Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama beat Bill Clinton in a contest almost as closely watched as the primaries being waged across the United States — the music industry’s Grammy Awards.

    Obama on Sunday won the spoken word Grammy for the audiobook version of his blockbuster tome “The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.” It marked his second statuette, following a win in 2006 for “Dreams From My Father,” an audiobook for a memoir first published in 1995.

    Bill Clinton was seeking his third Grammy with “Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World,” a call to public service. Another former Democratic president, Jimmy Carter, also was in the running, with “Sunday Morning in Plains: Bringing Peace to a Changing World,” a collection of Bible lessons. Carter won the award last year.

    No Republican politician has won the category since Everett Dirksen, an Illinois congressman and senator, in 1968.

    PuddyStudy No Republican since 1968? Grammy Bias maybe? Or because Everett delivered Republican votes for the VRA and CRA when Al Gore Sr, Richard Russell and Robert Byrd implemented Creighton Headless Lucy Baril minority rules of engagement?

    Puddybud, my brother from another mother!!

    Thanks, bro.

    When are you and PacMan available for lunch?

    I’ll buy and you won’t have to wait 2 years for me to find the change in my couch.

    @23 correctisright:

    Got one. And I’m sorry to say I work in a field that is totally unaffected by recessions or otherwise. How’s Burger King treatin’ ya BTW? And your hypocrisy over “handling/counting” of numbers is laughable, especially in the wake of stolen and fraudulent gubernatorial elections. See YOU panhandling on the street fella. No handouts for you! :)

  32. 32

    HEY IF GBS CANT HOLD HIS BEER THEN HE SHOULD OF WALKED.HIS SERVICE WAS WASTED BECAUSE HE DID SOMETHING STUPID.TO HONOR HIS SERVICE WOULD DISHONOR THOSE WHO SERVED AND STAYED OUT OF TROUBLE.THE NAVY DOES NOT BOOT YOU FOR SIMPLE INFRACTIONS AND I CAN ATTEST TO THIS WITH 30 PLUS YEARS.

    Um, was that really the best letter to send to Arquette? Aren’t you trying to win him over with this letter? “Dear Rod?” How about Dear Mr. Arquette? And why include that crap about “Dori has been after Goldy’s hide….?” Big turn-off. “Yeah, but it’s true!,” you defensively cry. I don’t give a damn if it’s true or not. It doesn’t belong in that letter. It detracts from the message. Listen, I want Goldy back just as much as anyone, but I would give that letter about a C+ grade in terms of effectiveness.

    Don’t worry I signed, And I will make sure that the school and library computers vote for you ;)
