Clinton's campaign does not remind me of Rocky. It reminds me of Spinal Tap
A tour that starts big but descends through failure after failure.

Overblown sense of importance and entitlement.

Frequent stupid utterances.

A spouse who meddles to the detriment of the group/ campaign.

Staff changes.

Money problems.

It's obvious that Hillary has been trying to use the kitchen sink to take things to 11, but it's just not working.

3. Is this the end?
Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.

6. Hillary is a great speaker
...she doesn't have to gasp for breath every three words at least. I think Obama should release his health records, that's what I think. Instead of worrying about Hillary so much, you might have a thought for a man who can not say more than 3 or 4 words without stopping to think, and to take breaths. I feel he may have some respiratory problems, or other health problems because he is so thin. If he looks that thin on TV, he must really be skinny in person, because the camera adds 20 pounds.

Because you can't really be serious. Health? If that's an issue McCain is already done.

12. Well McCain doesn't look skinny OR out of breath
...now does he? He is in for another 30 years or more. His mother is about 100 years old. He obviously has longevity in his genes. He'll live to see 30 years of that hundred year war in Iraq. That's my take. Poor Obama, maybe that woman of his is too busy attacking Hillary to cook for him, perhaps.

The man stumbles all over himself. It's pretty embarrassing to watch.

36. Ahhhh.
I'm smiling again!

I alerted on a different poster whose posts were deleted and it showed the stone. I was giddy. Yet, when I looked up his/her profile, s/he was still listed as alive and well. Kind of the opposite of this? :shrug:

15. Sounds like a pack of republicans to me
When I hear hateful statements about Bill Clinton, or Hillary Clinton, it reminds me of all the republican haters, and I just chalk the badmouthers off as reps. It's pretty easy to see through you guys when you can't reply without attacking the Clintons, or Valerie Plame, or some other democratic figure. No, you cannot fool me about your political persuasion.

17. Wat the Larry and Barack video on youtube.
It is really, really good. The audio interview is even better. Then the black guy who says he was hurt badly by Obama while having sex. That is a great video.

I don't see Obama's campaign as entirely consistent, either.

38. I'd use my standard Welcome to Ignore retort but this post makes a surprising amount of sense
Well done
Really

BTW, my favorite line from that movie is the one about my alma mater:

It's just a cracker university

43. Did you know that Hillary uses a cobra snake for a neck tie?
She learned that from this movie, which was the inspiration for Spinal Tap

40. "Puppet Show and Clinton Rally"
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 06:00 AM by FatDave
If I told them once, I told them 100 times, "Clinton Rally" first, then "Puppet Show"....... We've got a big dressing room though.

What, bigger than the puppets'?

(edited because I came up with a better joke)
