Is she smoking the same shit that Lanny is?


Lanny Davis compared an Obama candidacy to McGovern when he was asked to comment on the switch of endorsement. I swear, they need to smoke some good shit to believe the bullshit they are peddling.

1. Lisa Caputo is speaking for the Obama campaign now?
Edited on Wed May-07-08 08:49 PM by BattyDem
Give me a break! :eyes:

On edit: Is she on television? Is there an Obama surrogate to dispute that or is she being allowed to say whatever the hell she wants and go completely unchallenged?

4. I saw her twice today (situation room and Dan abrams) and both times she made me nervous. She said
Hillary needs to stay in incase "another shoe drops" like Rev. Wright. that combined with Ickes comment yesterday trying to put fear in the supers about an October suprise with Obama makes me wonder if they are hatching something. Especially since Hannity last night was hinting about another shoe.

6. Who knows but its to their advantage to
foster that even if it's not true, just to prevent the avalanche of super delegates, and to hope/pray for another "game changer" like what they were hoping for last night. Their strategy isn't changing it seems, just the number of opportunities are dwindling for her.

7. If they had anything they would have used it last week.
IN and NC had half off the remaining delegates. She needed big wins in both. If they had anything they would have used it already.

11. that's so considerate of them
isn't it-we'll wait over here until something bad happens to him and when you need us...we'll be right over there saying "I told you so". I'm sick of the CC doing Obama so many "favors" like "toughening him up for the GE" they are so nice to him

5. Hmmm
Edited on Wed May-07-08 09:01 PM by 4themind
the obama campaign in their memo to the superdelegates released today (and posted on the new york times) AND in a conference call today (posted on TPM) all mentioned that it was the PLEDGED delegates that they are saying should be what superdelegates consider when deciding. He specifically mentioned that no candidate who had the higher number of pledged delegates had been denied the nomination, and it makes sense for them to push that because it'll help the race to be over faster (on May 20th/21st) rather than waiting for results in june, including one territory that doesn't vote in the G.E> (and yes some people/states may have a problem if that were decisive). But I will say that the popular vote number is ALSO important because it takes away all primary metrics from hillary, so it has become an important number now that the pledged del's are all but locked up, but they will still push super delegates to come out after the pledged delegate lead is ensured, to end the contest faster, and start rebuilding.

12. she`s borrowing from her accounts
when this is over she she will have spent ten`s of millions of her own money and nothing to carry over to the general election.will she be able to raise enough money to run for the presidency when she can`t raise a penny during the primary....

there`s nothing they can throw at barack because unlike her,he really does`t have a "track record". these talking "...." just want to keep the story going cause they know gramps is well...really bad.
