What is with these cozy debates, then the following the day they are blasting each other. Its too funny.

American political campaigns always eventually take on the negative rhetoric, but I couldn't help but laugh when Hillary was imitating Obama's basic speech, about the roof opening up and the light shining on down, it was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.... because it is so true. It feels like you are at a faith healer's church revival sometimes :huh:

Most people I've talked to don't seem to care who gets the nomination, just as long as a democrat wins in November.

The Clinton's have always been well regarded up here, They shared a very close friendship with then Prime Minister Jean Chretien.

I laughed out loud when Clinton mangled Dimirty Medvedev's name. If Obama had done that that all we would be hearing tomorrow is that Obama didn't know anything about world affairs.

Don't get why Clinton didn't go for a knockout , instead all we got is another draw.

Hillary's whining was also unbecoming.

The nice thing also bugs me ,we all know tomorrow bother of their "people" will be out trashing eachother.

I don't think I'm gonna add hillary back, I don't see obama making hillary his vp. I could be wrong about that, if she does have a chance its very slim. On the otherhand he could piss some people off by not making her the first woman Vice president, but I don't know. I will take her word for it that she didn't have anything to do with it not because she said she didn't but because I think the republicans are the ones that leaked it after all that Hussein crap they pulled at a rally. National polls are showing that obama is leading by 50% to hillary 40%, just last week it was hillary at 44% and obama at 43%. Whoever is currently running hillary's campaign needs to be fired, they are making bad decision after bad decision for her. An it doesn't bode well when bill tells people at a texas rally that its over for hillary if she doesn't win texas, and then the next day hillary says bill was wrong about that. Are the clintons even on the same page? I guess bill is a realist and hillary is optimistic.

From what i have read Obama's camp has a couple women on it's VP short list the Gov of Kansas and someone else.

If Obama get the nom i think he will wait and see what McCain does.

If McCain goes with a woman so will Obama.

IMO if Obama were to win Gov.Bill Richardson would be his best bet , but if McCain goes with a women so does he.

That underestimates the showmanship of church revivals. Obama is too cool and collected to break a sweat. She's a total liar for making it seem like the man offers no political substance in his speeches. It's not like she lays out reams of details in her own. What she ought to do is point out how rehearsed and repeated his talking points are.

She also finished pronouncing the Russian leader's name as "whatever." How Bush-like. It appeared that NAFTA was an issue someone finally shut her up about. The idea of riding the coattails of her husbands success but not his failures was well pointed out. And thank goodness for Tim Russert. No other debate panelist insists on an answer to the questions asked like he does, and his Meet The Press method of holding people to the statements they made makes waffling impossible. Clinton can't be in full attack mode with him around.

I have to agree with you. She came off bad. And, even though she truly may have a point about the bias of the media (At some levels), bringing up a SNL skit to make your point is not they way to do it.

I wonder who she will blame next for whatever goes wrong with her campaign does something else stupid?

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
