    Obama: 49%
    Clinton: 45%

    And with all the talk of the “MASSIVE” early voting that Obama has been getting their people to do, it’s bad news for Backtrack… I know what you want to read out of it, but here, let me help you…

    “Of the 25% of respondents who have already voted, it’s Clinton 51%, Obama 46%.”

    It has even shut the Daily KOS idiots up who have been blogging about it all day in anticipation… They expected a HUGE Obama pre-vote, and now are biting their nails.

    Oh, and Backtrack? For all your dirty campaign mailers trying to confuse the Ohio vote who have now rallied to a 12% and increasing lead in the polls for Hillary:

    As for Reagan retreating from Lebanon, I thought it was wrong when it happened and it proved to be wrong today. We were also wrong to retreat from Vietnam and would be wrong to retreat from Iraq.

    AKA the tritone substitution. Dmi7-G7-Cma7 = Dmi7- Db7-Cmaj7.
    As far as the first solo in a popular song, not sure of that answer. If I remember correctly, it was around in the days of gregorian chants. Stravinsky, Ravel, etc. didn’t have ad-lib soloists (if that’s what you mean by soloist.) Could be parker, coltrane, armstrong, hendrix, phil woods, depending how you define popular music.

    Latinos traditionally vote the day of at the polls, and they are in large blocks in the Hillary Camp.

    The SUSA poll numbers needed to be MUCH bigger for Obama.

    This is NOT looking good for Backtrack.

    And, you know, for all the “Hillary has lost all her momentum and should drop out” that I keep hearing, when Obama drops three on March 4th, let me be the first to ask:

    “Mr. Obama, now that you clearly do not have the momentum, do what is good for the party, and drop out… and fuck off. kthx.”

    A waste of otherwise perfectly good electrons arguing with rob.

    While the Clinton camp makes statements like

    “If Barack Obama’s campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely.”

    folks like rob show that this kind of photo, sent out to the right people, can sway those with petty minds, and begs the question “why is Senator Clinton’s campaign sending photos of Senator Obama to the Drudge Report anyway?”

    It almost seems that at least some folks in the Clinton camp are trying to ensure that if their candidate cannot be elected, then they prefer to hand the White House back to the Republicans.

    It’s probably too late for Senator Clinton to publicly disavow this cheap trick, or discipline her campaign manager, it wouldn’t surprise me if some splainin’ was being done behind closed doors over in the Clinton bus.

    While I support Senator Obama, I also think that Senator Clinton has way too much class for this kind of cheap stunt. It just doesn’t sound like her. More like an over-eager staffer and a campaign manager with tunnel vision.

    You can keep dicking around with k’s little faux pas, but the pictures I linked from Mogadishu showed a whole bunch of men, not one of whom appears to be dressed in the same attire as Obama. Are you still claiming that there’s no distinction between the warlords of Somalia and Kenyan Somali’s? Does, for example, the fact that the former were perpetrating violence while the latter are currently the victims of violence make any difference in your eyes?

Now, have a glass of warm milk, and head down to your room in the basement.”

    So, it’s your contention that all Somalis are bad somehow?

    Having had the “pleasure” of spending a bit of time in that part of the world, while with the Navy on an amphib with a load of Marines, I can assure you that we never thought so.

    Yes, there are evil Somalis, just like there are evil people in every country in the world.

    Most of the people in that region are good folks just trying to stay alive in a bad situation. Some of their leaders are good folks just looking out for their people, but yes, some of them are not.

    But even though I think that the person circulating that photo was doing so just to stir up trouble, I also think that there really isn’t anything bad about the fact that Senator Obama wore native garb while visiting some Somalis.

    Of course, you could tell me about how it was your shipmates that were dragged through the streets by thugs, and we could compare notes.

    So, rob, just how many personal friends of yours were in that expedition, and when was your life in danger from unfriendly strangers shooting at you?

    Oh, I forgot. Wingnuts don’t join the military and risk their lives for their country. They have more important things to do. So, in response to your picture, I have one for you.

    In the event you didn’t catch what BTO and I were saying above, there is a difference between contractions, e.g. “you’re,” and the possessive, e.g. “your.” Apparently, your private school classes (you were homeschooled, I’m guessing), didn’t apprise you of such differences, correct?

    You might suggest that criticizing grammar, punctuation, and the like is being anal.

    My mistake, talking about human beings is now in the college of arts and sciences.

    Now tell us what the fuck you have done Darryl, if anything.

    Oh, wait. That’s what you do. How many houses have you actually framed? How many windows have you installed? How many fireplaces have you done the masonry for?

    “Now tell us what the fuck you have done Darryl, if anything.”

    I COULD share my accomplishments with you, Squirt, but I don’t really believe you have the intellectual capacity to actually…you know…UNDERSTAND ‘em.

    So, you admit that you don’t really build those houses. You simply supervise, but take credit for other people’s work.

    People like Darryl may have played a small part in the 5 hour class he taught them

    In other words, Darryl doesn’t really pound in any nails, but he, along with the other professors with whom he works, collectively produce college graduates who have learned how to think. Why do you get to take credit for your team work, while Darryl doesn’t get to take any credit for his?

    but then the real world kicks in and they understand that real life isn’t what is taught by liberal professors.

    While one can understand that this is what you believe to be the point of a liberal arts education, you only manage to expose your ignorance.

    One of the best grades I ever received in Econ was from a professor who disagreed with me on a number of policy issues. I got A’s in that class based on the quality of the arguments I was able to bring to bear, not because I got any “right” or “wrong” answers.

    Professor Darryl, I am off to bed and tomorrow I will be producing for America and you will be trying to indoctrinate more students to hate America. I believe I will be more productive than you will, I fact I know I will. People start their live with my product, people start their fears with your product.

    You remind me of the two so called scientist from UW in 2005, said we were losing are snowpack and the world was coming to an end because of Global Warming. Since then the two have been very quiet. Two years of above average snow and colder temperatures does have a tendency to run alarmist back into their basement.

    In fact this year we have record sea ice in the artic and the most snow coverage in America and coldest temperatures since 1966.

    http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/cl.....alies.html

    Darryl, the fact that you have spent your whole life living on taxpayer money and having TA’s do your work for you doesn’t make you smart. It means you were able to game the system like a lot of people living on government money.

    You were so pathetic that you were unable to transition to the real world and actually produce something that helps the country you seem to hate so much.

    Just my opinion, If you want to get together without your posse of liberal creeps let me know.

    Rob (at 10:20 PM) and PU

    Sorry for the delay, I have both life and job, and cannot spend every waking hour on this blog.

    Rob. Yes, we can compare notes. It bothers me that you take a whole nationality and lump them together. I joined not long after Vietnam, and most of the Vietnam Vets I served with did not do so. Of course, those folks were career Navy (including some river boat vets), and their perspective may have been different from that of a Soldier.

    Yes, PU, I was Navy. Served from 1978 through 1999. Missed Vietnam (thank God!) but had lots of other opportunities for unfriendly strangers to either shoot holes in me or blow me (and my shipmates) up. A few of them tried to take that opportunity,

    Veterans, as a group, tend to speak to each other with some respect. I will presume that rob is telling the truth, although from his tone I’m suspicious.

    PU appears to be yet another incarnation of “he who will not be named (in any of my posts)”, our fake Navy Officer. Don’t bother replying, PU. It will be ignored.

    Hey Dustin dreamer:
    I know this is just a poll – but you seem to think polls are more important than actual votes. Obama up 16 points nationally – give it up Hillary. Hillary also does worse nationally against McCain in virtually every poll – so if democrats want to lose on November – vote for Hillary and her disorganized campaign – she knows (has the experience) how to lose a sure thing from day one.

    Obama is up by 12 points over McCain and Hillary is tied with McCain nationally.

    So let’s talk about the current candidates- McCain served his country with honor. Obama didn’t have the stones (your word) to even serve in the military during a time of peace.
