Hillary and troubled Waters
Watching Fox just now. Hillary was bragging on the endorsement she just received from Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA). Bad idea. Michelle Malkin presciently wrote in 2000 that:
[Waters] is one of the most self-serving, hate-filled, race-obsessed politicians in America. The Democratic Party doesn’t just embrace her. It kneels at her feet.
Hillary certainly knelt tonight. I can imagine the opposition advertising already.

Maxine is a shrew and frankly I wouldn't look for oodles of the black folks in her district to follow her lead. For many of us, it's a big "so what?" The worry now for Obama is a more caged, desparate Hillary calling in chits from harridans like Maxine and union bosses. Note the revolt in the Cali teachers union--the rank and file like Barack; the leaders are beholden to Hillary. Crazy...
Maybe Maxine can come east and assuage your pal Rudi. Rudi is a tool, and I'm so glad that Fox is doing its usual switcharoo and talking about bugbears like Maxine when the real story is Roger Ailes and Murdoch getting egg on their faces over Rudi. So what's next--holding your nose and backing Romney? hahahaha

By the way, she spells it WATTERS. Even ubergoon Jonah Goldberg knows that. There's an interesting chapter in the recent book on Fox News on how people like him grow a cottage industry of self-hype with the help of Fox and right wing bookclubs. I'll mail you the whole book. hahahaha

Chris, if you are right, then the clown who maintains her official Congressional web site is wrong, and she has not worked up the gumption to straighten him out.

Oops. I must have been thinking of Keith Watters, a lawyer here who owes me money! hahahaha
He is in the Giuliani-Ailes-Murdoch axis too (and a friend of Bernard Kerik--remember him? The President doesn't seem to anymore).
I held my nose and turned to Fox just now...hmmm...nothing too in depth on McCain. You all just quietly do not like him, do you? Look for him to bring back that independence everyone in the GOP hated so much in 2000 and 04.
Oh and I heard Hillary "won" Florida. Last I checked over half the ballots there came in advance voting before New years--when she was the annoited one. My how things change.
My advice: (1) start getting the GOP donors at Diebold to start fixing those voting machines (2) make sure Chief Justice Roberts upholds govt id and near poll-taxes in these GOP-inspired "voter ID laws", (3) start digging up Michelle Obama's old papers to make sure she didn't do some serious plagarizing when at Old Nassau (4) roll out those hackneyed terms like "race-obsessed" etc. even if they don't apply. (5) get the radio and blog machine gassed and primed.
For you see, McCain respects Obama and will not stand for the Swiftie crap, the propaganda, the b-s, so you all will have to provide it freelance this time. Rove has gone undergrand and Cheney's tired and watching his ticker--so there're some assets gone, too.

Chris, speaking only for myself, I would be delighted to vote for John McCain. I am still undecided as between him and Romney. On the Democratic side, I prefer Hillary because she is seemingly much better on my leading issue, the war. But if I like Obama more.
Point is, our choices are pretty good this time around.

I'd like to see a McCain vs. Obama contest in the fall. McCain vs. Clinton would be boring: there are more independents who hate Clinton than Republicans who hate MCCain, and the Republicans who hate McCain would likely vote for him just to stick it to Clinton. I don't like Romney's odds against either Democrat and can't understand why the Republican establishment is so eager to ride that plane down in flames in the fall.

Yeah, she's only been reelected there for like what, 20 years? Chrissy can't deal with a strong black woman.

"ubergoon Jonah Goldberg"
You meant uberJew, right? By the way, Giuliani is probably going to drop out and endorse McCain, paving the way for a McCain-Giuliani ticket. Are you sore at Rudy 'cause he ruined your squeegee business?

If I were a Dem, I would be deeply concerned with the way that Hillery is using race and gender to divide the modern Dem party. It's starting to sound a little like "Vote for me or you're a Sexist. Obama is not really black, he's never been 'down with the struggle' like me and Bill." As a Republican, I am deeply proud of Obama's rise in the race to the Presidency even though I am opposed to his politics (and Hillarys), and consider her tactics to degrade him just one more Clinton slime that I want to see eliminated.
