Whitey oppressing Bonds

politicians are all acum bags. Always vote the incumbent out, it is our only hope.

There is something tragic about Edwards's failure to break through. Today, 37 million Americans live below the poverty line, 12 million more than at the time of Kennedy's death. And yet Edwards's call of conscience has not resonated. By all rights, Edwards, the son of a millworker, should have an easier time talking about poverty than did Kennedy, the son of a millionaire. His difficulty speaks to the candidate's inability to connect. It also speaks to the nation's inability to be moved.

Or, maybe, Americans are just getting better at sniffing out self-serving, pandering, phony bullshit slingers slithering along the campaign trail?

I don't care for any of the Dems, but Edwards comes off as especially smarmy.

His famous hair is not just well coiffed, it is nearly immobile and lacks even a touch of gray. Edwards says his notorious $400 haircut and his 28,000-square-foot house are the obsessions of the media, not "normal voters." (He does have a snarkier press corps than RFK. Not only did reporters not criticize the size of Kennedy's Virginia mansion, they wrote fawning prose about the senator in the hopes of scoring an invitation.) He is also quick to point out that other rich men—like Franklin Roosevelt and Kennedy himself—were able to help the poor.

No John - voters get it. You talk out both sides of your mouth, and are a trial lawyer at heart.

Meh, Silky Pony doesn't have a prayer of getting the nomination, even though the media loves him almost as much as he loves himself.

It's a two-person race for the Dem nomination.

It'll be interesting to see next spring how Hillary dances around her recent characterization of Osama Obama as "naive" and "irresponsible" in foreign policy when she picks him as her running mate.

I mean, if he's naive and irresponsible, how will it be that he's suddenly fit to be one heartbeat away from the presidency?

She'll figure out a way to side-step that issue and the press won't call her on it. The Clintons are masters at such things.

The thing that's sad is that this election should be so easy to win for the Dems, but after seeing these candidates I would be shocked if they do win. Thay are all garbage.

When Kucinich was mayor of Cleveland, there was a mob contract out on his life.

Kucinich is a strange bird ...
He was homeless at one point in his life ...

Speaking of big, his wife looks like an Amazon next to him

And why is Dennis standing there with his arms pulled up into his coat sleeves, grasping their hems with his fingers. He looks like a twelve year old girl on a cold day waiting in line at the ice cream stand.

And why does it appear Bill Richardson is getting ready to check Joe Biden's prostate?

Maybe.
But given the last two presidential elections, maybe not.

There's nothing funnier than Newsie talking politics.

Agreed, although Newsie trying to talk hockey is a close second.
