So, how stupid are the Florida and Michigan State Democratic Parties? Here, they just wanted so badly to feel important they felt they needed to push their primaries up, and all they wound up doing was making themselves irrelevant. I mean, people are pretty much paying attention to what goes on in Texas and Ohio today, aren’t they?
As for me, whoever the hell wins, I really wish it would all end today (though looking at the polls, that’s looking more and more doubtful). I’m just plain sick and tired or it all. I’m tired of Obama sniping at Clinton, and I’m tired of Clinton sniping at Obama. I’m sick of the 50% of the callers to the various radio shows bitching that the hosts are being mean to Obama, and I’m sick of the other 50% bitching that the hosts are being mean to Clinton.
I just want it to stop, so we can all start being mean to McCain.
If only Dennis Kucinich had looked more like George Clooney rather than the mayor of Munchkin-land we wouldn’t be facing having to decide between two absolute corporatists who don’t represent a dimes worth of difference to any of us :tap:

It’s a nice morning, and the birds are making lots of noise in the backyard. The cats are all excited about them. But, my indoor cats are really dopey. They keep meowing to the birds, as if the birds will hear them and come over to play.
Must get some :joe: and get this day started.
I think this is the monkey from Family Guy. Not sure how he got from Quahog to Spokane.

FYI .. In Florida at least it was the thug bot controlled state legislature hat moved up their primary.. The demodorps had nothing to do with t. :tap: :tap: I don’t know the story in Michigan.
:reaper: :reaper:
Fred is correct. The only recourse the Florida Dems had would have been to schedule a separate primary three weeks later, and it’s not clear that funds would have been available for them to do that. And attendance for such an event would have been sparse at best, since the vote for the property-tax amendment would have coincided with the Repig primary rather than the Dems.
Repigs control both houses of the FL Legislature. We’re trying to change that, but until that happens, they call the tune and we have to attempt to dance to it.
:blech:
This is pretty good. Hey everyone!
That’s interesting. I didn’t know that. Doesn’t seem like the State Legislature should have anything to do with how an individual party decides its candidates.
Seder Maron time….

Sync between the two is way off (here, anyway).

Well, I guess this just isn’t gonna work out for me here again today. Too bad.
Around here the state has to fund all state wide ballot initiatives. Local elections are funded by the county/city in which they are held. or by the organization responsible for calling for the election. A typical county wide election costs about $ 75,000 dollars .. If you figure that most states have 20 or perhaps more counties that adds up to some bucks. :tap: :tap:
If anyone cares, Seder will be subbing for Maddow’s AAR entire show tonight. There is no 3rd hour however. I imagine SammyCam will be in effect.
Rumours abound that there is a large repug turnout today for Hillary. She is being touted as the most defeatable.

Rumour had it
Some critical questioning of Obama- for Druid :nod:
from bartcop.com
It took many months and the mockery of “Saturday Night Live” to make it happen, but the
whore press corps finally roused itself from its slumber Monday and asked Obama a question.
The day before primaries in Ohio and Texas, a smiling Obama strode out to a news conference
but the grin was quickly replaced by the surprised look of a man bitten by his own dog.
Reporters from the Whore AP and Reuters went after him for his false denial that a campaign aide
had held a secret meeting with Canadian officials over Obama’s trade policy. A trio of Chicago
reporters pummeled him with questions about the corruption trial this week of that Rezko dude.
The New York Post piled on with a question about him losing the Jewish vote.
Obama responded with the classic phrases of a politician in trouble.
“That was the information that I had at the time…”
“Those charges are completely unrelated to me…”.
“I have said that that was a mistake…”.
“The fact pattern remains unchanged.”
When those failed, Obama tried another approach. “We’re running late,” he said,
and then he disappeared behind a curtain.
Today should be the last day to ask questions about Obama, so think of this:
We still know nothing about the guy to whom we’re about to give the keys to the Planet.
Here’s one way to look at it:
Let’s say it’s been assumed for a year or 3 that your teen daughter was going to marry “Bob.”
But one day, she says she met a guy, Barack, she likes better than Bob and wants to marry him,
so you ask her to invite her new friend over.
When you meet him, you notice he’s a smooth talker, but he never really says anything.
His career plans? “I”m going to get a great job!”
What kind of job? “A good one, one that pays really well.”
Let’s say you ask him 20 questions and every answer is the same – optimistic, but vague.
Wouldn’t you want to know something more substantial, more concrete than,
“I”m going to get a great job!” before you give your daughter to him in marriage?
I realize I’m the skunk at the picnic because I don’t see what you see in Obama.
And we’re all about to sign up for a 4-year hitch with the guy – if we get lucky and win,
and all we know about him is he’s “inspiring” and makes people tingle when he talks,
and he causes Chris Matthews to feel thrills up his leg when he fawns over the man.
Is it wrong to be careful before we turn the keys to the planet over to a new guy?
I’m not big on major surprises that can’t be changed for 4 years, how about you?
But if Ohio and Texas go with Obama, I’m all in, but I’ll always wonder what
would’ve happened had we gone with the prize instead of whatever’s behind Door # 2.
Jeff played a great clip of Will Rogers speaking to Democrats fighting amongst themselves. Apparently this has been going on for a long time. :smack:
Also, if you think that McCain is going to be a pushover, you weren’t paying attention in 2000 or 2004. The media and the Republicans are gonna hammer Obama on experience (especially foreign policy), and the undercover Islamic secret agent whisper campaign will intensify greatly (along with whatever other mud they can come up with to throw at him).
Not saying it’ll be worse than what Clinton would get, but they’ll sure as hell give it a try, and they certainly have no scruples.
vernon- thanks as always for the m v s clip :bow:
They’ve had a 17 year head start with Clinton and right or wrong, too much stuck.
Calling VT for Obama pretty handily. OH polls close in 15 minutes. Exit polls look very close there (and TX and RI).
If anyone knows people in LA…
Hey, Friends-
Greg Proops and me have been doing a live, fast paced talk show thingy with guests and funny rapping about shit. We’re doing another one this Thursday, March 6th at 8PM at the UCB Theater in LA. We’d like you to come. I can guaranty that it will be very Proopsy and Marony.
Sorry about the mass e-mail. . .no, I’m not actually. I know all of you. It wasn’t some random selection thing.
Thanks,
Maron

Evening, bloggerini. I’m back to cross-post a rant I just put at my LiveJournal and Blogspot blogs. I’ll be around a little longer tonight but I’m too disgusted to stay near any source of news for a while…

Gypsy, :rofl2: 8) 😉 :rofl2:
Anyone who has finished first year first semester Spanish recognizes now that Chris Matthews is a fucking moron. :rofl2: A!I!V!
Man! I can’t believe I’m so poor I can’ afford to go to LA for a night to see Maron and Proops. †his sux! :fu: Universe!
Well
MSNBC has called Ohio for Hillary
Chris Mathews just likes to talk down to his audience.
The primary process in TexASS sounds like it might be good for an all night drunk :tap: :tap:
Its kind of interesting that Ohio which has lost over a half a million jobs to NAFTA would vote for Hillary A (for AIPAC) D(for DLC) Clintdork…… perhaps a concentration of IDIOT MORONS live there :reaper: :reaper:
Like Heartman has implied this election will be where you roll the dice and you get what ever you get.. :reaper: :reaper:
Limprick was encouraging his listeners to hold their nose and vote for Hillary so that we can all beat up on each other longer. I think I heard it on Jeff’s show. God we’re pathetic. 🙁
Thanks for the mp3 of Maron v Seder. Is there a way I can see the video too? I love Marc’s expressions :love: And Sam trying to smooth his feathers out. They make such a great pair, I hope this works out for them.
Well, I guess this goes on for quite a while. Hopefully, Obama, who will ultimately win imho, will not end up being too savaged by the opponent from his own party who adopted kristol clear advice to run on fear and has recently said the anointed repug opponent would be a better president.
Wish I believed that.
Sam has not been too good at getting the VODs together.
What my pal Seth has been doing for the last few years.
I wish he was still on the :penguin: cam though.
Kristapea, I’m right there with you. Being poor blows chunks! Once, just ONCE I wish I could go to LA for a Maron show, and this would have been the perfect one. DAMMIT!
Okay, I’m an hour and a half past bedtime and I’m whining. I’ll be back tomorrow if my boss lets me get online….
