Does anyone believe this Kantor thing is going to really change anything?
I know we all love to hyperventilate about this type of thing, but does anyone really think it's going to have any impact on the remaining primaries?

Other than a vehicle upon which to deliver snark to the opposing side (no matter which side you're on), I don't really see it as having much of an impact.

11. Exactly. Let the clowns play.
The Obama supporters who know his message and believe it - won't touch this.

2. Whether it does or doesn't, I hate when people tell me I'm not hearing and seeing
what I can plainly hear and see, IN CONTEXT. Cantor fucked up on camera.

3. Anyone remember 1992?
Bill and Hill had to go on national TV so they could lie about Bill's adultery addiction. He still won.

4. Well, I dislike listening to people cuss
especially when they know they are being filmed. I was raised in a time when such language was considered vulgar, and I still don't like to hear it.

5. No, Clinton's still going to lose.
And they always thought people of Indiana were "second class" anyway.

6. probably for the .0000001% of the people who are actually paying attention
I agree with you. I don't think it's gonna make much of a difference, this late in the game...esp since the authenticity of the clip has been called into question.

Sadly, most Americans are getting sick and tired of all this shit anyway, and aren't even paying attention.

They're more focused on how to pay their bills and reduce their gas costs.

We need to stick to the issues and remember what REALLY matters...as opposed to getting caught up in arguing about what may or may not have been said over 15 years ago. :eyes:

7. Proven to be fake or not...
It doesn't help Clinton. What are the odds of everyone who seen or heard the clip before the spin being informed of it being fake (if it is).

16. Well, to an extent it is.
Just a little, teeny, tiny, miniscule part of it.

I think if you divide the country into non-political junkies, and political junkies, we're even just a fraction of the subset of political junkies.

It's funny how everything gets magnified in here, isn't it?

8. There are a lot of tempests in the electoral teapot this season.
2 moderates running, with little substantive differences, make for a dull, and silly, campaign.

"Debates" about preachers, flag pins, and "gotchya" politics prevail.
