Edwards' Nonprofit Key to 2008 Campaign
By MIKE BAKER 06.22.07,

"Since it does appear that candidate Edwards was using his nonprofit to build his national profile up to his presidential campaign, it would be nice to know who was backing and who was financing that," Ritsch said.

Edwards also had his personal fortune at hand. Last month, he and his wife, Elizabeth, reported $29.5 million in assets.

Obama, "Give Me that NEW Time Religion"

If it sounds, looks and smells like a Camp Meeting (or Tent Revival), it probably is or something close........

Obama inspires crowd with excitement, hope
By Julia Prodis Sulek

A twirling disco ball at a San Francisco nightclub cast fuchsia diamonds of light on the starched white collar of presidential candidate Barack Obama on Tuesday night as he whipped up a crowd of nearly 1,000 mostly young professionals into a tent revival frenzy.

To a deafening roar of whoops and applause, the Democratic senator from Illinois strode back and forth across the stage telling the standing crowd packed onto the dance floor and filling the balconies that "people are hungry for change."

"That's right!" scattered voices called back to him.

"Tell us about it!" another voice shouted back.

"Thank you!" another voice shot back.



"That's right" came another from the balcony.

a 29-year-old San Francisco lawyer who jumped up and down after she shook his hand"We believe in you!" she told him.

"I feel inspired,"

Sandeep Sood, 30, who lives in Berkeley and runs a software company, said that he felt like "you're in a church and everyone's going crazy."

"He's the first politician who speaks to our generation," Sood said. "I'm not really political, but I'm really inspired by the guy."

Whether the enthusiasm for Obama pulsing through the San Francisco night club will spread across the country is uncertain.

But, he said he can't make changes by himself. "No you can't!" cried out a woman from the balcony.

"Make this campaign a vehicle for your hopes and dreams!


(BTW, I have been to tent revivals)

Obama tells church right 'hijacked' faith
200 articles, many, religious sites...does that make anyone else nervous?


Religion & politics......didn't we just try that? I don't think it works, regardless of which side uses it. We need people/voters from all walks of life and I have no problem with personal faith or lack of, however, "IT" don't belong in government.






Clinton, "You & I".........BAD CHOICE , but the voters, the voters...... :shrug:



Maybe something else since the words most often heard in describing the candidate "are",...hit the ground running, no learning curve, most experience, intelligent, brilliant, hard working, etc.
Over 30 years in public service.



"experience and vision needed to lead this country from her first day in office," - Cicilline

"distinguished by her depth of experience and her vision for our nation." - Titus


"the only candidate with the ability to hit the ground running on her first day in the White House. Her depth and breadth of experience is unmatched" - Villaraigosa


"has been a strong leader, working for issues that make a difference in every family's life, like education, health care and good paying jobs," . "I believe she is the best qualified candidate and the one that's ready to put our country back on track." - Huerta


" a great love for America and has a deep understanding of the issues that face our nation." - Jackson Lee


Even though she polls well, she has the experience, she has stunning endorsements from poets to politicians, human rights activists to homemakers, film directors to foriegn governments, and people from all walks of life in between, there's just something................. I really can't put my finger on it.

"I Am Woman".......maybe not, too feminazi-ish, "Man-eater" they already think that......or why are they scared? :shrug:

I voted for "Simply the Best." (big Tina Turner fan)


Got it! the *"Dynasty Diarrhea".
It seems when all else fails, this is what they spout. No matter what she does, the more we hear it....even from political analysts (i.e. Sabato) who should be able to do her in with REAL facts. But they don't, they resort to this. I have to say, they're stretching and scrapping the bottom, because,

the *dynasty thing really doesn't apply........





*Dynasty - a line of hereditary rulers.

(The Oxford American College Dictionary)


HRC is not related by blood to anyone who has served as pres., VP, etc.



Like I said, a real load of crap from the week-end.


Have a nice day! :hi:

1. The dynasty nonsense is laughable and sad

Laughable because, as you said it does not apply

Sad because it is an idiotic media talking point that is often parroted here

squawk....squawk....squawk

[Alamom]

2. The point of the post, DL. The M$M & (some) individuals, to hold up

their candidate or just simply bash one they don't like, are allowed to write garbage everyday and it's transferred here. That's fine, that's what we do, however, very few are discriminating when it comes to content. Just sling the crap and see if it sticks............


I not only post this for the candidate I support, but all others. Unlike some people, I WILL be voting for the Democratic Nominee and right now, we have 3 leaders who are under a microscope.
This could change, it's early. But it may not and some of this trash people are digging to find will come back over and over. 24/7 we're letting the M$M tell us how good or evil our candidates are and worse, we're eating them alive here. The repukes must be having a field day. This will be an easy one for them. We make it so.
We have ALWAYS had a white man running the country. The Democratic Party has decided it's time to expand and we have a black man and a woman running. So they attack and dems follow just so one candidate looks better than the other. AND, they also are attacking our "white man". If another of the candidates pulls ahead, it will be the same.

No one is exempt.

Of course, they do not intend for us to win in 08, but it seems many of our own are happy to go down the drain with them.



Discussion and debate......absolutely, needed and productive. Trashing & eating our own is beyond my understanding. We think America is in in a pathetic shape now, she will be unrecognizable with another repuke administration.

3. Great rundown, Alamom..

And YES! "Simply the Best" was my choice as well. I can understand why they chose the "You and I" song..because it speaks to their personal lives. What I don't understand is, why now? When Hillary been running on her own steam with Bill standing in the shadows not wanting to steal her thunder. Then the Canadian thing... doesn't make sense, Oh, well-

I've said it before, Obama would make a great Reverend. His phraseology is that of a preacher speaking in sound bytes instantly transmitting his message to the audience and on point, when he chastised the Evangelicals hijacking religion as something belonging exclusively to them.

Sabato's a trip, assuming everyone needs his opinion because voters are incapable of choosing a candidate without giving consideration to his tiring, regurgitated analysis.

[durrrty libby]

4. I understood that people voted for the song . It was not something

Hillary and Bill picked out

[Tellurian]

5. I don't remember it being on the list..

thats just me-

[Alamom]

6. That is true DL and I don't remember it either....eom
