The Comeback Kid?
That's what happens when Mayor Sam counts you out! There is talk of a McCain-Liberman ticket. All the more reason for an Obama-Garcetti ticket. Generation X versus the last gasp of the Baby Boomers.
Anyway - the reason McCain won and Hillary is doing better than expected is that for some reason liberal Republicans and independents did not cross over to vote for Barack. That could be a problem for him - or even Clinton should she come back to life - if McCain is the nominee.

Alright Mayor Sam, I'll bite. At what point does justifying Iraq to the liberals become a problem for these two?
you have no idea what you are talking about, so please stop it you big freak.
SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT IN DENMARK
by LARS & MARS...
Even though Countrywide has denied it will seek bankruptcy protection, the company's problems are deepening. The New York Times reported today that court records in a bankruptcy case involving a Pennsylvania homeowner showed that the company fabricated documents related to the case. The documents -- three letters from Countrywide addressed to the homeowner -- claimed that the borrower owed the company $4,700 because of discrepancies in escrow deductions. Countrywide’s lawyers described the letters to the court as "recreated," startling the judge overseeing the case. "These letters are a smoking gun that something is not right in Denmark" Judge Thomas Agresti said in a Dec. 20 hearing in Pittsburgh.
LMAO.

What a failure our mayor is for putting the city in this position.
What an embarrassment Villaraigosa turned out to be for Los Angeles.
A real black eye in history.

That reminds me of the “windows” trick used in WWII—dropped from airplanes were metal strips exactly half the size of the Nazi radar waves so that resonance twice the size was the interpreted result.
Soon to be homeless vagrant at
6:07 P.M., The Hillary mortgage bailout won't happen in time. Too bad. Ask Zuma to sell you his van. His star is rising and you're a more bitter loon.
On CNN taday, Donna Brazile lit into ol white ass Bill Clinton wiff uh vehemence dat raised eyebrows in both o' they circles:
Brazile: I could dig' his frustration at dis here moment. But, peep, he shouldn't take out all his pain on Barack Obama. It'styme dat dey regroup. Figure out what Hillary needs ta do ta git her campaign back on track. It sounds like sour grapes coming from da former commander in chief. Someone dat many Democrats hold in high esteem. For him ta jet afta Obama, usin' uh fairy tale, calling him as he did last week. It'san insult. And I will tell ya, as an African-American, I find his tone an' his werdz ta be very depressing.
[snip]
Blitzer: But tell me why, as an African-American, Donna, ya feel dat da prezident'scomments weren't appropriate.
Brazile: First o' all, if Bill Bennett [also on da show] had said some o' da things dat ol white ass iz saying about Barack Obama, I would gots called Bill Bennett out o' his name an' said dat Bill Bennett should shut his mouth cuz he iz not speaking in da right tone. I th'o't his tone, I th'o't calling Barack Obama uh kid, he iz uh United States senator. He'sexperienced. The peeps o' Illinois elected him, an' regardless o' what kind o' items iz on his résumé, dis here iz uh nig who has worked all his life. He'sproven; he'sbeen uh college professor. I don' gots ta give Barack Obama uh résumé. I'm not fo' anyone at dis here point. But I th'o't fo' ol white ass ta jet out o' his way ta become uh distraction ta Hillary Clinton an' ta launch da kind o' attack on Obama iz just out o' character fo' ol white ass. I th'o't it'styme he helps Hillary jive about her message an' not jet down dis here road.
That post is blatantly racist. But we had a hint with her post at 6:07Santiago has finally morphed into her evil twin.
we also love to be right about something:
CONCORD, N.H. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won New Hampshire's Democratic primary Tuesday night in a startling upset, defeating Sen. Barack Obama and resurrecting her bid for the White House. Sen. John McCain powered past his Republican rivals and back into contention for the GOP nomination.
Clinton's victory capped a comeback from last week's third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses
It will take a couple of states, but Hillary will run out of little old ladies soon enough.
7:36's personal blog, has been a must-read for inbred idiots the last couple of months. His brave willingness to thoughtfully take on the spooky world of conspiracies, UFOs and the paranormal engage his followers, as did his well-honed mallet writing style. Also, his comments section and message board continue to draw one of the most eclectic, intelligent and out-of-the-box-thinking audiences I've yet encountered on the Web. A real barn burner!
Santiago gives me the creeps!

Congrats to Senator Clinton on a victory that most people--including myself--thought would go to Obama. I was underwhelmed by her victory speech but I liked her line about "America coming back like she did in New Hampshire." It was also smart to change the backdrop to just herself, the change message and her youthful backers behind her.
Her slim percentage victory, at first blush, seems to be attributed to two things: (1) Women over 40 broke largely in her favor (unlike Iowa) and (2) a lot of the Independents went to McCain. I wonder what effect, if any, the two "Iron My Shirt" protesters had. I also wonder if the "Clinton Cry" helped to soften her edges a bit.
Again, congrats--especially those of you freezing your butt off there in the Granite State. Like the old Buffalo Springfield song says "There's something happening here/What it is ain't exactly clear."
I also wonder if the "Clinton Cry" helped to soften her edges a bit.
It did, but only because it showed her sincerity. She is learning to be real in public. I think she will be fine.
Viva Neil Young.
>>Anyway - the reason McCain won and Hillary is doing better than expected is that for some reason
Independents are allowed to vote in party primaries. More of them wanted to vote for McCain that Barack so they voted in the republican primary
8:40 = nut suing the city.
MAKE THAT 8:40 AND 8:00 = nuts suing the city.
If 7:36 is the Zen blog by the Buddhist guy, it is provocative and a must read. I love it. Santiago is a jerk.
Ed you're right - Barack did not manage to get that independent and liberal Republican vote. That combined with a sympathy vote helped Hilary.
This keeps Hilary on life support for now. The remaining primaries don't look good for her though. Larger African American populations in mostly Republican states. That will break for Obama.
The mild weather could have helped Mrs. Clinton, who gets strong support among older female voters who might be reluctant to take the trip to their polling places in stormy weather.
Santiago's posts have become unreadable garbage. I can't scroll past them fast enough.
Tonight while drinking my absinthe with a diluted sugar cube and watching the NH candidates on TV the green fairy appeared before me and with new clarity I really saw for the first time the face's of our next president.
The mugs all appeared to me like a female real estate agents air brushed power photo, Obama, Hillary, McCain, Huckabee, et al, I heard them all speaking and promising pie in the sky and the big rock candy mountain.
Shucking and Jiving, Bobbing and weaving, President Obama with Oprah as Karl Rove, Hillary the ambitious ball buster with hubby Bill pulling the levers, McCain I saw by himself sitting around a campfire in the desert 2am, staring strangely into the fire with a gun in his hand, Huckabee came to me as a giant good natured bucky beaver who morphs into godzilla after he's president.
I drank another absinthe and thought about the south of Spain.
You sound like the Zen guy with the animal blog 9:46. Etheral but thoughtful.
We didn't get to see the Clinton African American base drift to Obama in New Hampshire because there aren't any blacks in New Hampshire. Tonight's results were interesting, but don't read too much into it.

THANK'S FOR THE GREAT, GREAT LAUGH DQ.
9:59 PM,
I drinks more than I thought you thought I dranks.
I just came into the library and there was a high school aged Somalian girl in traditional head-dress at the computer. I sat down next to her, went into full-lotus and the energy immediately started flowing between us.
She actually looked at me with her deep dark eyes and said "hi" very seductively.
Then her friend did the same after I walked by her.
The three of us went to my pad and made spam sandwiches and looked at the cat.
Santiago aka Don Quixote aka Don Quackers get off the damn computer and do something to help the young cholos in the varrio and quit wasting time on this blog.
You are a stupid old fool, even your old friend Gava Joe doesn't want you on his blog. A La Verga.
Well color me surprised!
Congrats to Hil for pulling out the "W" in NH! She lives to see another day!
I honestly thought she was done-for after the whole "crying" thing.
xoxo
Sorry, Sam, you got it wrong; McCain is NOT the "Comeback Kid".
I'd say "The Comeback Coot".
(But with Joe Leiberman, they run the table and are the next President and Vice President of the united States - Remember, you saw it here)
I wouldn't be tooo happy if I were HIllary with as close as those numbers were for a guy (Obama) she kept saying was giving "false hope" and has no experience. You better believe she's still worrying and will come out negative. That's how Ace Smith works. Was I the only one who noticed her speech last night is beginning to sound a lot like Obama's? She got the older women votes. That tells me dumb women who think its ok for your husband to have oral sex and do nothing and support a Mayor who cheated on his wife and Hillary said nothing is not the type of person we want running the country. This is going to be good!!!
Barack Obama will need to pick a running mate from Florida, especially if its McCain-Liberman.
Hillary could have had a much larger margin of victory if she had booted Tony V. from her campaign. When he's not stumping for Hillary, he's isn't exactly resting ensconsed in his hotel room - if you catch my drift.
7:22 is a perfect example of why some posts should just be removed.
Please don't remove santiago's disgusting racist post. Leave it there forever to warn that she is a sick individual. I saved the post. If it disappears. and this looser posts in the name "santiago" again, I'll re-post this racist crap from her. As a reminder.
The third-floor grapevine gossips claim "santiago" once had aspirations to be a political blogger for AV for money! Envision the politician who would benefit by associating with this racist nut! Meeting with "santiago" is considered by some in the city clowncil to have been one of the darkest hours of AV's office.
Zuma why are you sitting on this? You've had the story for a year and you got to know this beast up close from your own experience fighting with it and deleting its posts. So add a corrupt lazy lying junior mayor with no personal discretion...
santiago,
mmmary is that you?
who else?
Well she's some ugly mess of a human being, isn't she? Jim Bickhart should be banned from government jobs for the rest of his life for taking up with this woman.
