Wednesday Political Brain Pellets
Wednesday political brain pellets:
- I wrote about this a few days ago:
I wrote then that I thought she did this with Clinton's blessing. I think the audio of this interview of Clinton supports my thought.And Ferraro, a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter who sparked a brouhaha earlier this year over whether she made a racially dismissive remark about Barack Obama, apparently is no longer a reliable Democratic vote.
Ferraro, in the NYT story, terms Obama "terribly sexist." And, as a result, she says she may not be able to cast her ballot for him if, as anticipated, he gains the Democratic presidential nod.
- Now, Clinton drops this bomb:
But while Obama trekked through central Florida, Clinton was 200 miles to the south, at the epicenter of the bitter recount battle that ended the 2000 election, summoning memories of the Bush v. Gore Supreme Court decision as she argued for full representation for delegate slates from Florida and Michigan at the Democratic convention.
This is close to dropping the nuclear bomb, but not quite. For Democrats worried that Clinton, Inc. will do anything to win even if it destroys your party, here is your confirmation. Black Democrats who support Obama, you are about to get hosed.
Florida voters "learned the hard way what happens when your votes aren't counted and the candidate with fewer votes is declared the winner," she told a crowd in Boca Raton in Palm Beach County, a key site in the recount fight between Al Gore and George Bush that ended with a Supreme Court decision halting the recount. - From what I can tell, the same conservative Republicans who were so vocal in opposition to John McCain are now lining up behind John McCain. If this holds out to be true, they lose all credibility in saying Blacks blindly vote for Democrats. The only way for you to save face is to vote for Barr, the Libertarian candidate. Yes, I find it amusing.
- Republicans joined Democrats in overriding the veto of the pork filled farm bill. Isn't this another reason to vote for Barr?
