I just heard that from Buchanan on CNN. I wonder if Barack agrees with her?

Dear sweet Lord. Wait. Buchanan? Okay. Not buying it without footage, sorry.

Seriously. Since when is Buchanan a reliable source?
He was probably just paraphrasing what we already now she said.

On edit: and if she didn't secretly wish this were all over, she would not be human.

17. Uh, not to be snarky, but
If you're going to use "Get a brain, Morans," as an avatar, it might be wise to double check your spelling. "Know", not "now".

The Spelling Police exits. I know, I know, thank God.

4. She didn't say that. Buchanan is paraphrasing her quote.
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 03:01 PM by Connie_Corleone
Which means, Buchanan is blowing smoke out his ass...again.

16. I'd swear I'm looking at the cover of the National Enquirer
instead of a DU thread.

5. Is he just dredging up her old quote or is it something new? Because it doesn't make sense now
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 03:02 PM by wlucinda
He's in good shape...even if he doesn't win Iowa or NH.

7. Why don't you change the title of your post to:
"Buchanan says Mrs. Obama said 'If we don't win Iowa, we go home'"

No one believes or cares about one thing that man says.

And could you post a link to the footage, or could you post a link to his quote?

9. Here's a link to the CNN story.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/09/27/michelle-obama-if-barack-doesnt-win-iowa-its-just-a-dream/

It seems he was quoting Michelle from back in September. The problem is, it's being broadcast TODAY! I have no idea how many Iowan's watch CNN, but I think it could matter to some.

11. She didn't say "If we don't win Iowa, we go home!"
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 03:17 PM by alteredstate
"If we don't win Iowa, we go home!" Where did you get that?
Did Buchanan say it?

8. I sure hope that's not true.
Obama probably won't win Iowa (Edwards will win) but I'm betting on him to take a strong second.
It would be a shame if he dropped out.

14. Unless I hear it from her, I will assume that he is putting words in her mouth.

The actual quote (unless he is referring to something else):

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/09/27/michelle-obama-if-barack-doesnt-win-iowa-its-just-a-dream/

DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) — Michelle Obama told a crowd in eastern Iowa Wednesday night that if her husband, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, doesn't place first in the Hawkeye State then "it is just a dream."

"Iowa will make the difference," Mrs. Obama said. "If Barack doesn't win Iowa, it is just a dream. If we win Iowa, then we can move to the world as it should be."

15. I think the original poster should change the title of the thread
It's inaccurate and misleading.

18. Michelle needs to watch her motormouth sometimes. If Obama loses Iowa,
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 04:19 PM by Carrieyazel
he'll have to deal with Michelle's statement when he goes to New Hampshire. Not the first haphazard statement by Michelle.

21. I think that's just the newness of being on the national campaign trail.
Mosr of those new to national politics are just trying to be honest and it takes several kicks in the .... to get to know how the talking heads parse every word!

22. Buchanan is a FUCKING RACIST and as of late has been making excuses as to how
Obama could loose and he is a ASS kisser for Hillary in the worst way. This right wing idiot for some reason is pushing the Clinton bandwagon.
