If Hillary gets the nomination, she will be crushed in the general election - not because of her being a weak candidate, but because of the split in the Democratic side. I think there is a chance this could happen if the delegate count is still very close going into the convention. Dumb question here... Do you mean to say that if Clinton gets the nomination that she wouldn't win b/c some Dems would vote for McCain rather than her? Or is it due to the delegate count? I don't know the process as well as I should, so I don't know if delegate counts change, get transferred, or what. People are motivated by Obama. They are putting their hearts and souls and emotions into his campaign. If he somehow loses - especially if he has a majority of delegates and/or popular vote, but Hillary seals the deal via "superdelegates" or some other nefarious scenario, I think it will piss off enough people to cause low voter turnout on the D side. And yes, some independents will go to McCain rather than Billary. This is all Spray-Speculation of course.

Of course you're gonna say that. You're a fanatic anti-R.

Funny how little attention these accidents get in comparison to climbers on Hood/Rainier with the concomitant outrage vis a vis MLUs, rescue costs, etc.

I'm also transferring some funds from Nigeria today. Woot!

No, it's: STFU, nOOb!

It was not the main branch of Scouting, but Plast (http://www.plastusa.org/). Secondly, we are talking here about going backpacking with kids. There shouldn't need to be ground rules of the short like "no playing with knives". Period. I'm not gonna spell out a hundred things in advance with people that are common sense.

I like to Thai One On

guilt by association - nothing new.

It must be hilarious when you guys introduce yourselves in realspace as a cc.com'er: "what's your Avatar"? "jay bee" Ohh....

BTW I led a group of 30 or so scouts and parents up to Pilchuck a couple of years ago. No problems whatsoever. And we had no ground rules in advance.

The only rule I see is to take my own car, so if some kids/parents are being jackasses, I can hightail it out of there.

Um, yes. He actually spoke like an adult to other adults. Quite refreshing, actually. And it's only frigging March. A lot of shit can happen between now and Nov. I wasn't being sarcastic actually. It's just that the conservative pundits seem to have unanimously and enthusiastically agreed that Obama "proved" in his speech that he's the anti-Christ. Today, Limbaugh nearly creamed all over the Golden EIB microphone with glee about all the "chaos" he's helped foment with the democrats and how Obama has proven himself a shifty fraud for not totally dissociating himself from the Reverend. They are treating this like it is some huge "GOTCHA!" surprise; on the level of discovering him with a hooker. To be fair, I suppose the propaganda crowd is either really feeling righteous about this topic or they are just desperate to put him away because they fear him. It is also true that a lot can happen between now and November... How many Rush listeners were ever going to vote for either Obama or Hillary in the first place? As far as Ministergate is concerned, pretty much every commentator outside of the far-right commentariat has had generally positive things to say about the way he handled the matter. At the end of the day, he hasn't lost any ground amongst his core voters - who are probably even more enthusiastic about the guy, and he hasn't alienated very many people who were actually on the fence and seriously considering voting for him. All of this concern for what the Right in this country is doing to compromise Democratic chances for securing the White House seems rather odd, given the discord in the party at the moment - and the discontent that nomination-by-superdelegates could sow in the base, particularly if the outcome is at odds with the distribution of delegates sent to the convention by the voters in Democratic primaries. There is some speculation about how this whole flap can hurt Obama in some of his potential voting base, not be easy to overcome, and how this could drag on. But we're talking speculation and fairly subtle effects.

Well, I watched the talking heads, including some well-known republican commentators and they really think the big stink about Obama's minister is much ado about nothing. And I agree. I heard the sound bites that they play over and over and over "God Damn America". Yeah, so? Come to cc.com and you'll hear much worse than that.

But who are "McCain's guys"? Clearly they will not be "Bush's Guys", and it was the latter, more than Bush himself, that has driven our policy. I ask the same question about Obama. Who are "his guys"? Who will steer his policies and guide his administration. Both of them would have to pay back supporters from the campaign. That's obvious. But who would get the choicest positions and the ear of the president? I think there is a good chance for change in improvement from either of them.

I don't know. He was looking damn good in his response to the attacks regarding his minister.

Actually, most climbers are concerned about the environment and are quite opposed to heavy metal. Although, hypocritically, they use a lot of heavy metals to power their devices. Nickel-Metal Hydrides for example.

You're out of your mind. Period.

More lies.
