Edwards joins "the movement"

Obama supporter that I am, it still creeps me out when people refer to his campaign as "the movement." This is not the 60s. Much as our generation might need a "movement," can we not refer to it as that please? Thanks.

Anyway, so, John Edwards adds his support for Barack. Exciting, but I don't really see this as a surprise, as I saw their campaigns as identical, but I guess I thought he might hold out and not endorse anyone. Maybe he's hoping for a VP slot, but that would be a bad move on Obama's part--much as I love Edwards. As I said, Obama/Edwards=same person, maybe some different rhetorical emphases, but roughly the same base. I myself flip-flopped around from candidate to candidate in the early stages (when I wasn't being a hippie radical and supporting Kucinich).

What are everyone's thoughts about this? All in all, it seems like things are tilting toward Obama in the public mind now. I mean, delegate counts aside, we are talking about how people think. This might have put a damper on Hillary's West Virginia win.

what actually counts

Only one vote really matters: the 50-something conservative registered democrat who's not independent but not a part of the base who skipped college so they could go straight into teaching rather than become a casino worker, who votes on domestic issues, but not in a primary or caucus in a big state that doesn't border Illinois that has elected female governors and members of congress but didn't vote republican in 2004 and won't vote republican in 2008 and didn't vote for Jesse Jackson in 1984 or 1988 during an all day vote except during the hours of 7 and 7:15pm. And they don't object to their vote being overruled by superdelegates.

a political reprieve

With so much controversy in the news lately I thought this website would be a fun addition. It is like LOLcats but with politics. Seriously, take a look. HILARIOUS.

:D

plus, there's always a bit of truth in a joke. spot the truth in these "Political LOLz".

Have I mentioned that some times the media is stupid?
