Here is the latest copy/paste article from the liberal campaign front. Will Obama and Miss Hillary actually make it to the poll times or will one get sidetracked by slurring the other?
WASHINGTON - The rival presidential campaigns of Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) traded accusations of nasty politics Wednesday over Hollywood donor David Geffen, who once backed Bill Clinton but now supports his wife's top rival.

The Clinton campaign demanded that Obama denounce comments made by the DreamWorks movie studio founder, who told New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd in Wednesday's editions that while "everybody in politics lies," the former president and his wife "do it with such ease, it's troubling."
The Clinton camp also called on Obama to give back Geffen's $2,300 contribution.
Campaigning in Iowa, Obama refused.
"It's not clear to me why I'd be apologizing for someone else's remark," the Illinois senator said.
For her part, New York Sen. Clinton sidestepped questions, leaving the issue to her aides to discuss.
"I'm just going to stay focused on my campaign and I'm going to run a positive campaign about the issues that affect the people in our country," she told The Associated Press in an interview in Nevada. She was participating a candidate forum in Carson City.
The Clinton team seemed eager to continue the attack. With Obama in Iowa, aides arranged for former Iowa attorney general Bonnie Campbell to criticize him in a conference call with reporters.
In the newspaper interview, Geffen also said Bill Clinton is "a reckless guy" and he does not think Hillary Clinton can bring the country together during a time of war, no matter how smart or ambitious she is.
Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs added another criticism of Clinton.
"It is also ironic that Senator Clinton lavished praise on Monday and is fully willing to accept today the support of South Carolina state Sen. Robert Ford, who said if Barack Obama were to win the nomination, he would drag down the rest of the Democratic Party because 'he's black,'" Gibbs' statement said.
Ford later apologized. The Clinton campaign said it disagreed with Ford, but the senator has embraced his support.
Another Democratic presidential candidate, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, said at the candidate forum that Obama should denounce Geffen's comments. "We Democrats should all sign a pledge that we all be positive," Richardson said.

Shameful, this process of electing 'competent, qualified, 'mature', candidates to lead this government . . . and the whole process is NOT about who is the best person to lead, but about who can raise the most dollars to fund ads, to persuade the public to vote for them. . . Popularity contest, at best, this election stuff, fraught with drama and ever changing scenarios. . . stay tuned - it's just beginning.

look at this as a preparation threat for you and your horse. you will no longer be able to get him removed from the noise of Fourth of July, so make an effort now to desensitize him to it. he would be a happier and safer horse if he can stand like a statue whilst the international is coming aside around him. start up with those little poppers that are thrown on the floor and carry him in a secure place being careful to no longer enable him leap on you. this is considerable to no longer puppy on him, infant him or reassure him in any way, as that in simple terms reaffirms his opinion that there incredibly IS some thing to be nervous approximately. in simple terms rhythmically have a chum throw them on the floor close to him and enable him leap. Have adequate accessible which you will no longer run out, on the grounds which you will might desire to maintain this up till he relaxes and stands with out responding in any respect. Then flow as much as firecrackers, a .22 pistol or different issues with a reasonable pop. does no longer you incredibly have him settle for the noise than attempt to hide him from it in line with annum? in any different case plan on spending some month in line with annum no longer even waiting to holiday or cope with him through fact he would be leaping out of his dermis ever time there's a noisy noise. This preparation will in simple terms take some days in case you verify which you do follow each and each consultation via till he thoroughly accepts it and stands comfortable, after which you will start to tutor off what a quiet horse you have, whilst absolutely everyone else's are going beserk!

I can't believe it, the conservative spin machines finally exhausted Anna Nicole's death and Britney's bald filler. Just once I would like to hear something remotely true out of the Republican dominated drive by media.
When the Democratic dust settles, it will have buried at least 15 more Republican Senate seats and covered the White House. Hillary or Obama will beat Bush, even it their teeth are locked on each others throats on election day.

It is just the nature of the beast!! The Democratic party and the Republicans haven't really even got started yet. This should make for some good topics to discuss.

I am not paying any attention to any of this pre campaign positioning stuff. 2008 is a long way off and much can happen before then.

Expect the Clintonistas to chew Obama up & spit him out. They are ruthless even for politicians. Also expect the infighting to get worse with time.
