she has talked about her tax returns. She's said she'll release them. And do you have a link to Obama addressing the question of whether he sold drugs?

36. Oprah too!!!! Wright is her pastor as well.
But what makes you think Hillary is not in the same ballpark when it comes to "guilt by association"?

I can tell you I feel very uncomfortable with George senior and Bill Clinton getting all cozy with each other.

Or where was the outrage when Robertson ENDORSED Rudy Goolie after he agreed with Falwell for saying the same thing as Wright said about America deserving 9/11. As I recall all Rudy had to say was that he has made many comments like that and has had to explain them. Is this a double standard? I want to know whats driving this?

Guilt by association is one thing, but Obama called this guy his "Spiritual Mentor"

Then tries to call him a "crazy old uncle" Puhleese, You don't pick your uncle but you do choose

what pew you and your family sits in every week

"getting all cozy"? Yes that is exactly like preaching "God Damn America":eyes:

:-)

and, the thing with Rev. Wright will fly about as far as the Flyer did that day (120 feet in 12 seconds, ground speed of 6.8 mph).

You do know how badly Orville messed up back from warping the controls to maintain the direction of flight in that thing?

Be careful...

(Edit to note that I have a Why wait, Obama 08 sticker on my car.)

43. Obama picks up 14 more delegates

:hi:

by James Oliphant

Sen. Barack Obama picked up 14 new delegates yesterday,:hi: widening his lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton even as the Clinton campaign maintained the race was in a dead heat.

Obama grabbed nine delegates in Iowa as the majority of John Edwards' delegates were awarded to him. And late Saturday night, he added five delegates in California. According to the Associated Press, Obama now enjoys a 119-delegate advantage over Clinton.

The delegate count was a central focus of Sunday's "Meet the Press" on NBC. The news program featured Rep. Nita Lowey, a Clinton supporter, and former Sen. Bill Bradley, who backs Obama.

Lowey focused on a core Clinton argument, that because Clinton has won more key states, she is more electable than Obama.

"Now, you and I know that no one, since 1960, has won the presidency without winning Iowa. We know you have to win Iowa, we have to win Pennsylvania, you have to win Florida. There are key states that are critical to getting the number of votes in the electoral college," Lowey said. "And I think right now, frankly, it's a tie, and I would hope . . . that between now and the time we go to the convention, we can have a really constructive discussion ."

Bradley countered that if Obama has the most delegates at the time of the convention, he should be the nominee.
