Hah! Scranton Paper Described Obama's Words As A Bitter Pill...Then Endorsed Him

[Me.]

Via CNN. They had Senator C speaking and she told how the paper described his words. Then the reporter came on and said, it was true but what the Senator didn't say was that the paper also endorsed Obama today.

6. Thank You Kindly

:hi:

2. YES

[Liberal Gramma]

4. "Bitter pill" connotation

is that sometimes what cures us doesn't taste good. It's a bitter pill to swallow that our government has ignored the needs of the people for a couple of decades and instead acted against our interests. It's a betrayal of the worst kind, but we need to recognize it for what it is before we can begin to change it.

5. Ha! Rec'd, and GOBAMA! nt

20. Sweet Is Right

Hillary has once again miscalculated.

GOBAMA !

9. Oh hell yes.. the Truth Will Set You Free ! K&R

10. Too bad she paid for all those stickers

when she owes thousands of dollars to vendors in Iowa. :cry:

[Debi]

22. Who said she paid for them? Her campaign will probably stiff those vendors

as well :shrug:

[Eurobabe]

25. Hey you! I didn't mean she PAID for them, LOL

she put them on account. But maybe she did pay for them, because only the BIG states matter. :rofl:

[Debi]

28. Nah, when it comes to paying past due bills even big states don't matter

:shrug: remember U C Davis will be sending her campaign to collection next month.

:hi:

(I saw YOUR bitter bumper sticker ;))

[H2O Man]

14. Interesting, isn't it?

I keep asking my relatives; they all say that Clinton will probably win, but not by the margin that her campaign expected.

[Me.]

23. 3 Point Spread Would Be Nice

Can dream can't I?

[H2O Man]

24. The contest in PA

includes two important things: the popular vote, and the distribution of delegates. This is why for a Clinton victory to be significant in both of these, she has to win by 20 points. Not long ago, she had that sized lead. But it is looking like it may be much closer.

[Me.]

31. The Popular Vote Thing

has been one of her big arguments, though as far as I know she hasn't been ahead in it ever. Electoral college votes anyone? :evilgrin:

[H2O Man]

32. I'm speaking of PA

only, not the national contest.

[Me.]

21. Very Nice

[CitizenLeft]

13. O the irony.

:applause:

[Adelante]

15. Nice giggle

:D

GOBAMA

[K Gardner]

16. No comment or congratulations from Hillary supporters? None? Imagine that.

[GarbagemanLB]

17. Where are the Hillary supporters? lol.

[cottonseed]

18. I always like these.

Thanks for posting.

[jaysunb]

19. Well put....

This part really says it all.

But Mrs. Clinton also is a political lightning rod. There is little doubt that a second Clinton presidency would further the deep divisiveness that characterizes American politics — a divisiveness that dug itself deep during the Clinton presidency, and even deeper during the Bush-Cheney years.

The first task for the next president is to get past that. And it might not be possible if the presidential cycle goes Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton.

[Willo]

26. Great and I love their timing. Kicked & recommended

And when its all said and done, here's the bottom line:

On policy matters, there are more similarities than differences between the candidates.
The real difference lies in their likely ability to build the consensus needed to realize their vision.
The advantage, in that regard, clearly lies with Mr. Obama.
