Young Democrats of America's 2 uncommitted delegates were offered 1 million dollars by a Clinton Donor to support Clinton, they rejected his offer and endorsed Obama

I'm telling you think of the freaking White House family photos with a freakin beast of a dog in the pics. Have it running all around the freaking white house. Have it in meetings when the Iranian president shows up. It would be awesome, too bad the American people wouldn't go for it.
Pretty remarkable. It shows the desperation of their campaign.artredis1980 said:

FWIW, the Clinton camp has sent me and other state delegates for Obama invites to some private parties at some really posh nightclubs (500 dollar bottle service kinda place)... they wont say its for a vote, but its for a vote at the state convention.
I just donated 250 bucks to Obamas general election campaign (maxed out my primary contribution) so I get to go to a dinner with David Axelrod. woo hoo.

yeah, but honestly, we arent worth that much.. my senate district is worth 5 national deleges.. so they would have to swing like 50+ state delegates to even have a shot at moving a single national delegate.. so its basically throwing good money after bad.
and I think my "dinner" with Axelrod is probably going to be like 1000 people with him speaking.

Not worth it.. Ive actually got some decent connections going in the local dem party here.. Dont want to burn bridges because of one presidential campaign. Ive decided to be civil with the Hillary people so I can get their mailing list for the next election cycle.

Two important things here:
1)Obama is now ahead of Clinton in DNC endorsements.
2)Iowa State Party Chair Scott Brennan to endorse Obama Tuesday.

WAT.
I swear everyone associating with Hillary couldn't add or subtract their way out of a paper bag.

Anyone know any Clinton supporter on the internet claiming they will support Obama? I honestly haven't seen it. Its weird. This is not your normal upset feelings here. Maybe its because of the closeness of the race or maybe its a grand plan from the republican party to stir unrest.

One of my cousins seriously believes Obama is a Muslim.Stinkles said:
My mom got into a pretty heated argument with her about it. Here's the argument:
"You know that Barack Obama is a Muslim?"
"No, he isn't, but what would it matter if he was?"
"Oh, I forgot you weren't a Christian."
Then one of my other cousins girlfriends got in on it, and started bitching at my cousin over the entire thing.
I live in Kansas, so it shouldn't have surprised me, but I really hoped I wouldn't see such bullshit parroted by my own family.

I swear to God Obama needs to come out in his next spech with this as his first sentence:

Note to anybody that's arguing with anybody about whether or Obama is a Muslim.
Do not ask this question.
You'll not only weaken the truth but you'll derail the topic. Anybody that actually believes that Obama is Muslim most likely believes all Muslims are Allah-Akbar-Suicide-Bombers-That-Hate-America. This is not a position that is easily changed.

Anybody that seriously believes he's a Muslim won't take him at his word on that. I bet those poor, white, Applachian folks would be thinking...

No, but in the eyes of those with intelligence it can single handedly deflate their entire argument.ZealousD said:
Once you equate the few with the many you lose any right you have at making the argument. I usually come back with "So does that make all Christians KKK members? As quite a few KKK members are Christians."
I've always had a softspot for debating stupidity.

As far as I know she was the only person there that believed that.ZealousD said:
When it came to the end of that argument she realized she was the only person that wasn't looking at her like she was crazy. Easy way to sway another's opinion is to make them think they are the only person that thinks it. Pretty easy to do when you've got a family of progressive Democrats.

First question of the lightning round:
"Are you a Muslim?"
"No."
He goes on to talk about his faith very specifically, although I'm sure that someone will say "He takes just a few too many pauses, how honest is he really being, humm?"
Still, he said it on ABC's Good Morning America, that's one of the best places he could do it to reach the people that still are misinformed.

I'm not sure if truth matters when disputing an Obama talking point on GAF, but as a Clinton supporter who cannot stand Rush's non-stop attacks on her I have to set the record straight:
Bill Clinton has not ever been on Rush Limbaugh's show and probably won't be. They ran into each other once at a diner in New York, and Bill Clinton has been on shows that have hosts that sub for Limbaugh sometimes.
But if someone can link to proof that Rush had Bill on his show and interacting in a peaceful (or not) manner I'd like to see it. Rush hates Bill and Hillary and other than to cause "chaos" and help his ego he has no reason to be civil towards them.

First hit on google for "Bill Clinton Rush Limbaugh".
Alcibiades said:
What I heard is that he was on the Rush Limbaugh show while another host was subbing in for Rush. If that is untrue then you need to talk to the MSM because I remember hearing that on all the major television networks. As an Obama supporter we can both agree that Rush is blowhard.

The MSM is behind Obama and for months has tried to bring Clinton down, so I wouldn't be surprised if like that blog post just referenced would completely make things up to reflect poorly on Clinton (http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/03/wtf-bill-clinton-on-rush-limba.php).
That's a complete fabrication that Obama people like Andrew Sullivan have been willing to spread to make it seem like Rush and the Clintons are working together. Rush's "operation chaos" is an independent campaign that probably did help Hillary get votes, but he continues to criticize her daily and in no way has implied he wants to help her win the nomination (another fabrication is that Rush wants Clinton to win because she is the "weaker" candidate; his stated goal is the superdelegates having to make the decision and a long contest, not the triumph of either Obama or Clinton).
