    • I'm pretty sure he just mis-spoke and said 57 instead of 47. that kind of mistake is easy to make when speaking in front of a few thousand people.

    • Heck, any poltician going for President these days is under the spotlight so much that people with nothing else to do besides watch for little slip ups like that, just pounce on them and make them a big deal when it's not.

    Honestly, I wish the whole Primary stuff ends soon. Hillary gave it her best shot, but it's time to end this. But, that's just me.

    • So, putting a link to a video in an "other chat" section of a forum is "making a big deal" all of the sudden? And, as I also acknowledged in the title of this thread, I know that it was a mistake, not an instance of stupidity. What ever happened to the good old days when you could make a little fun of politicians?

    By the way, if McCain had slipped up like that, I guarantee that it would have been all over the news.

    I wouldn't count Clinton out just yet. James Thurber said that 'absent an unanticipated scandal', Obama will win. The unanticipated scandal is the Rezko trial. When Tony Rezko is given the guilty verdict, it will come into the public eye that $10,000 of scammed money was donated to the Obama campaign by a Rezko associate, and that Obama and Rezko go way back.

    This story is going to explode into a full-blown scandal sometime next week, probably.

    • The Rezko trial? I haven't heard anything about that. I've only been watching some coverage of the race whenever I'm on break at work. If this does come to light, like you said, and totally change everything, I bet Rush Limbaugh will be happy, with that "Operation Chaos" of his still going on.

    I think my neighbor might be right when he said that the race will most likely go right to the Democratic National Convention and totally split the Democratic party.

    • Since this has to do with the 2008 US Presedintial Election, it belongs in the existing election thread.

    They'll be all over it once the verdict is given. The media loves this type of dirt. Pastorgate was a cake walk for Obama compared to what this could mean for him.

    • Pity none of the candidates running are fit for the white house. I wish the upcoming general election was between Harold Ford and Lincoln Chaffee instead of either of the 2 dem hacks(the muslim and the extremely unqualified first lady) and the republican choice of an insane former POW. Yes, it'd be a tough choice for me but I'd know that both candidates would be decent.

    I agree. None of the choices are that great. I wish Kucinich was still in this thing.

    Kuchnich? Great, if he got into power we'd take steps towards eurabian style socialism with all it's resulting powers. He's even worse than the 3 fools running.

    Please name some actual problems with the candidate.

    -He wants to end the Iraq war.

    -He is against domestic surveillance and the PATRIOT act.

    -He is aware of the military industrial complex.

    -He is pushing for a new investigation of 9/11 and has accepted numerous 911 documentaries and info from members of the truth movement.

    • Democratic socialism is problematic in Europe and would be problematic here. To analyze your points.

    1 Reasonable enough but too rapid of a withdrawel causes massive problems.

    2 Having 2 decent ideas doesn't excuse the rest of his beliefs being looney

    3 Uh huh. Being aware of it isn't the same thing as planning to do something about it.

    4 Are you for real? Pokecommunity has truthers now?

    That's exactly what I can't stand about Clinton, she's a complete hypocrite who wants nothing except to attain the office. If she really cared about the issues she stands for, she would have already withdrawn and endorsed Obama. The way she's carrying on can't do anything except make the division in the Democratic party even wider. Clinton is probably being the world's biggest help to McCain right now.

    Yeah, seriously. Ron Paul is the worst candidate ever. He's a racist, paranoid, contrarian lunatic who wants to bring the country back to the dark ages. At least Huckabee wore his craziness on his sleeve.

    THIS times 1000.

    Huckabee is downright liberal compared to Ron paul. I'm for real on this. Both are terrible candidates but Ron Paul is several times worse.

    • I did a report on Ron Paul for my Collage Level U.S. Government class and found that though he had radical positions, he was not a raciest. I think the reason people say he is a raciest is because he has be against affirmative action from the get go. Also the AP reports that Senator Obama has cross the magic number of 2,118.
