They could sure use some cleaning up of their comment section over there. It is extremely offensive and out of control. I'm not clinking on those links anymore, until you guys do something about it. Other than that, I always enjoy the articles.

OVER TWO MILLION MILES DONATED!!! | Report to Admin

By Michele from Huntington Beach, CA May 13th 2008 at 6:20 pm EDT

Thanks to the generosity of many who donated their valuable frequent flyer miles, we’ve sent 29 out-of-state volunteers to TX / OH, 32 to PA, 17 to IN / NC, 1 to WV, 1 to OR, 1 to KY, and 6 to MT.

This means ***2,175,000 MILES*** have been donated to date -- putting ***87 VOLUNTEERS*** on the ground, helping bring it home for Barack.

VOLUNTEERS: If you want to spend a week or more in SD or MT, but can't afford to pay your own way, contact me and I'll try to match you with an airline ticket. (WV, OR, and KY are too soon, and we can’t send you to Puerto Rico; it takes too many miles as PR is considered the Caribbean, not the U.S.)

DONORS: It takes 25,000 miles for a ticket. So -- who's got at least 25,000 on the same airline which they'd like to donate toward making sure Barack Obama is our next President?

Step right up -- I'm getting requests almost daily from volunteers who want to help but can't afford the airfare. Donate now, please, so we can get these people where they're most needed. No miles? Perhaps you can help pay airfare or meal/hotel expenses.

Please call me at 714-536-6104 California time. (Don't reply on the blogs; I probably won't see your response.)

Old episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and a glass of pinot noir (you know us Obama elitists) are so much more enjoyable than watching Hillary spin her West Virginia victory on every single cable news network. We know he has this thing in the bag so nobody get all Sylvia Plath-Ernest Hemingway-Virginia Woolf (darn my over-priced, private school education!) We're riding this bus all the way to the White Houes!

It's a last ditch effort. She is trying to make a point, but noone is listening. The MSM is trying to help her make her case, but noone is listening. Many are voting to keep her in the race, because thats what she told them their vote will do, but it won't.

Re: Blonde with Sunglasses | Report to Admin

By FiredUpInCA May 13th 2008 at 7:24 pm EDT

Considering the kind of comments coming from people that say they won't vote for him, it's not so much a defeat as it is a confirmation that there are some very non-progressive people in the Democratic party and sometimes they are concentrated in a couple of states.

There was a voter quoted on ABC today who said she just doesn't believe him when he says he's a Christian.

I'm not going to agonize over getting her vote. She has lived through several adminstrations that have done little for her state yet she won't even consider giving a fair hearing to the background of a guy that is the most likely to relate to her and help her.
