Will Meeks-gate, Baby-gate and Bowl-gate have a serious impact on the PA primary?

[Cali_Democrat]

He was able to navigate away from Pastorgate and I think he will do the same with these new scandals.

[leftofcool]

1. Probably won't hurt him in the primary

but the GE........all of it 24/7 The Repuke 527's are already picking out the most delicious stuff

[avrdream]

4. Exactly.

You should have SEEN Karl Rove salivating on Hannity and Colmes. He is already lining up the ads about Obama's exagerations.

[leftofcool]

8. OMG! They are gonna pull out stuff the DUer's haven't seen yet

and they won't care if it's all lies. That's what they do.

[azmouse]

11. And Hillary's so squeaky clean they don't stand a chance against her.

:sarcasm:

[leftofcool]

17. At least we know what the baggage is

your golden child is not quite as transparent as you would like to think

[TwilightGardener]

21. No, we don't know what all her baggage is. We certainly don't--unless

she's been in a state of suspended animation for 7 years. And Sniper-gate was a NEW invention for her.

[leftofcool]

27. She's been a Senator these last years

and I am pretty sure that there won't be any 527's playing God Damn America 24/7 with her picture on it. I am also sure that they won't have her spouse saying he hasn't been proud of America in his adult life. And I am quite sure the repuke slime machine and their lying 527 ads won't be linking Hillary to Hamas, Khalidi, Farrakhan, the New Black Panther Party or others of that ilk. But, of course you believe that Obama is made of Teflon. Good luck.

[TwilightGardener]

33. Um, Michelle Obama has clarified that she is very proud of America, just

not always of its politics--just because the RW perpetuates the "Obamas are unpatriotic" myth, doesn't mean it's true. And none of that Wright/racial shit stuck, because in the end, Obama didn't say those things. Hillary, however, is lying repeatedly. And again, the RW is certainly sitting on its ammo and keeping its powder dry on things like Dubai and Giustra and other hinky stuff the Clintons are involved in, as well as Bill's personal life.

[leftofcool]

35. Like I said, Obama=Teflon and good luck

[TwilightGardener]

37. Well, so far so good. It's not the manufactured "scandal" du jour, it's how you respond

to it and whether people believe it.

[azmouse]

22. Her baggage won't matter because she's already lost the nomination.

[leftofcool]

29. Do you have a link for this?

[azmouse]

31. Yep. It's called dothemath.

[leftofcool]

34. LOL! Math means nothing to super delegates

and has nothing to do with being electable

[azmouse]

40. Oh that's right. Keep moving those goal posts.

[dchill]

30. If you really knew what the baggage is...

then how could you support her?

[leftofcool]

32. easily.....

[dchill]

39. Easily, easily, easily, easily....

Life is but a dream.

[DemVet]

38. It's what they do...and, unfortunately, it's what people believe.

[Mooney]

2. No-gate.

[TwilightGardener]

3. Are you seriously suggesting his bowling is some sort of "scandal"?

on edit--are people fucking losing their minds today?

[walldude]

Yes... they are. n/t

[babylonsister]

6. Yes, yes they are. You noticed, too! nt

[Cali_Democrat]

10. I don't think it is

But the media may blow it up and say he can't connect to blue-collar working class whites.

[TwilightGardener]

19. Most people would just figure he isn't a good bowler, but at least he's game enough to try

and can laugh at himself--same as I can't bowl worth a damn, but still find it fun to try. Wow, what I thought was cute and funny on Sunday is being turned into something nefarious today because Joe Scarborough and Hillbots are playing psy-ops with DUers' heads. Pathetic that anyone would fall for it.

[jobycom]

24. Well, as long a Obamatons keep using the phrase Hillbot and linking Clinton to Scarborough

you'll keep seeing crazy crap thrown right back in your direction. (You being plural for Obama supporters, not you in particular. Who could be angry at someone named wiederdoggie? :)

[TwilightGardener]

42. Actually, I don't mind "Obamabot"--supporters of any candidate are called "bots"

on most sites that I've noticed. It's pretty generic and mild, and a hell of a lot less typing than "Hillary supporters". And yes, I am so charming it's tragic. :-)

[walldude]

5. So Obama's statements about pro-choice and sex-ed are

a "gate" Obama going bowling is a "gate"? Well if you see these things as scandals then yeah he'll get out from under them. Meeks is not going to be any worse than Wright. You'd think they'd learn the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

[JayFredMuggs]

13. Quite honestly... the poor bowling was the deciding factor for me

I cannot possibly vote for a good bowler.

Underdog bowlers are ALWAYS my first choice!

[azmouse]

7. Sniper-gate, lying-gate, no-tax-returns-gate...

You left out a few that could affect Hillary.

[rox63]

20. Don't forget "Her-fundraising-for March-sucks-gate" n/t

[azmouse]

26. Apprentice-gate.

She watched Bill in the WH so she knows how everything works.

[dchill]

36. Stop LYING!!!1!1!

Fundraising for March doesn't exist! So there CAN'T be a -gate! :hi:

[jobycom]

9. Dunno. Can Clinton bowl higher?

:shrug:

[DearAbby]

18. We can have a Bowl-off

Bowling for delegates, RollerBowl, and SuperBowl. Best score wins the whole gall damned bowl o wax!

[jobycom]

23. LOL! There's probably a Big Lebowski quote that would work here, but that would

only distract from the seriousness of it all!

[bluestateguy]

12. I've never heard of any of these things

Really, I have not the foggiest idea of what you are talking about.

[JayFredMuggs]

16. Stick around, read a few dozen more threads

You'll catch up to how the Hillary folks are grasping at straws to make Obama look horrific.

Bad bowler notwithstanding.

[stray cat]

14. I hope Americans have noticed our deficit, our war and our economy

I don't care whether my president is an accomplished bowler and I agree that as a parent of a 12 year old girl I wouldn't rejoice that she was pregnant or had an STD.

[Cha]

15. I don't know from "meeksgate"..and there is no

no babygate or bowlinggate.

How about Pizzagate? B-)

[kerry-is-my-prez]

25. what's baby-gate? hadn't heard of that one....

n/t

[Cali_Democrat]

28. Obama said having a baby was punishment or something like that

He apparently hates babies according to some Hillary supporters.

[stray cat]

45. He doesn't want his daughters to become pregnant in Jr high

He considers a baby to a 12 year old as punishment rather than a blessing and consequently he believes in condems and sex education. However, it sounds like many people would rejoice to have their jr high daughters pregnant!

[walldude]

43. He was talking about abortion/birth control/sex-ed

and made a comment like: "I don't want my daughters punished with pregnancy or an STD". Hillary's supporters spent all day yesterday spinning into Obama hates babies, and how their children are all "blessings" and how dare Obama say otherwise. It was pathetic really, they all knew what he meant...

[C_U_L8R]

41. If recent history is any example

Hillary's dirty tricks are all going to backfire
and lose her more delegate, voters and donors.

[murielm99]

44. I know who Meeks is,

but what the heck is Meeks-gate?

:shrug:
