The Clinton machine has always had a tough time letting go.  The quote and story below serve as a perfect illustration of the continual unity problems that will plague the democratic party this fall.  This is not the way to “unite” the Democratic Party.

“Senator Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic Presidential nominee if John Edwards had been caught in his lie about an extramarital affair and forced out of the race last year, insists a top Clinton aide,”

Howard Wolfowitz, the former Clinton Communications Director, when on to state, “I believe we would have won Iowa, and Clinton today would therefore have been the nominee.”

Hillary Clinton campaigned today in Unity, New Hampshire for Barack Obama.  Following the many, many months of bitter fighting and posturing between the two campaigns this was a step in the right direction for the Democrats. 

Obama and Clinton fought over anything and everything even though they shared basically the same positions on the issues.  Accusing each other of deliberately distorting records was a everyday occurrence.  Can they change? Will people buy this “Unity?” Does it matter?  To early to tell and way too early to count out the underdog McCain.

Then                                                                   Now

The question remains will the public buy Clinton’s sincerity and will Clinton’s donors come along for the ride? Barack will need both to defeat an underrated McCain in November.

It has to be hard for both sides to come together after being so bitterly opposed.  Will the public see through this transparent facade of political unity? 

Then                                                                        Now

Awwwww

Everybody (liberal friends) hates FoxNews but they’ve been #1 now for 77 straight months.  Ailes knows the beating heart of America is not the silver tongue of Olberman but the black and white, I am right, you’re wrong analysis of Bill “F*ck it, we’ll do it live” O’Reilly.

Everyone can now relax.  The Leaning Tower of Pisa is saved.

California State Supreme Court rejects the rule of the people and says the same sex couples should be permited to marry.  (Do yourself a favor click on the link and check out the picture).  I take the same position on this issue as Chris Rock.  If they want to be miserable like everyone else let em.

Arlen Spector is not happy with the results from the leagues investigation of Spygate.  Hmmm, why?  As someone who basically loathes the Patriots even I find this a little much.  If politics has taught me anything it’s that you can and should always follow the money.  Thank you Duke Cunningham (ex congressman) and Brent Wilkes (one time San Diego Man of the Year). Let’s take a look at who’s donating money to Senator Spector.  Oh, wow, what do you know? Comcast is in there.  #2 in fact.   Comcast wants to get a piece of the lucrative NFL TV contracts mainly held now by the NFL Network.  Ah, conflict of interest?

The O’Reilly video circulating the internets got me thinking about other on air melt downs.  Here are a few for your viewing pleasure.

California is building a bullet train!? Finally!  Took long enough.

Obama’s campaign is much sharper then I thought.  Stroke of genius to announce Edwards endorsement the day after getting crushed in W. Virginia.  They definitely understand media manipulation.  What are people talking about? Not Mountain Mama’s landslide victory.

Point taken.

Finally some competition for the iphone, the new Diamond.  It’s sleeker, lighter with a better display but it’s windows based.  Not particularly something you want in a mobile device where ease of use is key.

Simmons gets it right!  When he’s not sucking at the teat of Boston area sports Simmons is hilarious.  For once we’re in agreement: Doc Rivers is a terrible coach.  So far in Boston he has been handed one of the best starting line ups ever and he’s installed no offense, he’s continued to chip away at Rando’s fragile psyche and he forgets to play his stars.  It’s MADNESS! 

New Primary Logic.

Get ready for a lot more of this.  Democrats proposing more taxes on the wealthy.  Clearly there’s no real understanding of basic economic principles in Washington.

Its Friday Truffle Shuffle time

One of Clinton’s many problems is that she’s rapidly being labeled stubborn and out of touch.  It’s clear that it is over but she presses on disregarding logic and common sense she can’t win and she should know it, especially given the booing.  Who does this sound like to you?  Exactly.  The last person she wants to associate herself with is the current President and now through her own actions she is doing just that.

It was surprisingly easy for the undercover feds to gain access to drugs and dealers at San Diego State.

The Best Named Minor League Baseball Team of the 08′ Season is……The Modesto Nuts!  Imagine the field day the local paper, the Modesto Bee, has with this team name: “Nuts get squeezed in the 8th,” “Nuts downed in the 9th,” “Nuts go deep,”  ”Nuts get rocked.”

420 Myths, legends, et al Yeah I know it’s late. I’m simply practicing cultural relativism.

Griffey 3 bombs away from 600 and the sports world is eerily quiet. Seems odd for a guy whose career has spanned the entire steroid era but has never been implicated once.

I’m losing my interest in the race. Is Hillarys win too little too late? Can the Dems just nominate somebody already? This campaign has been going on for over a year now, in Hillary’s case her whole life, with no end in sight and media fatigue is starting to set in.

So the whole Alien thing from the other day was apparently road flares, tied to balloons.

Good question

Six pack abs. He’s ripped!

Zito’s utter failure is embarassing. At this point in the season he is 0-5 with a 5.61 ERA (not bad, I’ve seen worse), however, not being able to get to the 4th inning is beyond terrible. With 12 walks to 10 strikeouts in 5 games he’s looking like middle relief at best. If we were to add in his wins & losses from last year he is 11-18 since joining the Giants. The truth of the matter is if he wasn’t Zito he would be sent down to the minors. All this for $126 million.

I love to see this go to court.

Huh? What? How? Constitutional Rights? 4th Amendment…? So the Supreme Court has decided that police have the power to conduct searches and seize evidence, even when done during an arrest that turns out to have violated state law. So we have to obey the law and are subject to it but the police and government are not. This doesn’t sound like America.

No, no you’re not.

Students getting cash for passing AP tests.  This is odd.  So now if youpass the High School AP tests you don’t have to take that Freshman level class in college thus saving you not only the time that the class would have taken up but also the money the class would have cost (this is called opportunity cost).  So why are we paying students to be students?  If this goes through the State of California owes me a few hundred.

Facebook fatigue? I am still wiped out from MySpace.

Anybody else think it was a conflict of interest that an ex-Clinton staffer,current smurf, George Stephanwhatever was moderating the debate?  Obama clearly lost the debate and looked particularly bad doing it.  Bottom line he couldn’t answer straight questions.   Americans by and large are tired of this sort of political maneuvering and double talk.  The last two administrations have been rife with it.  Aside from all that what was with all the close ups of Chelsea Clinton? Seems biased to me.  I counted over 8 close ups.

This “turning of the tide” is going to be key for a McCain victory.  He is going to need to win back a lot of disenfranchised Republicans.
