Barack Obama Elected President!

I personally feel Obama can be "smeared" more, but I doubt McCain will allow too much of that too happen, unlike the Dems.

I would venture to guess that the possible first woman nominee or first black nominee would not point out age as a factor....that would be hypicritical to them and I am sure backfire, even if people think it.

Even though McCain I am sure wishes he never said 100 years at war, we all know this war on terror will probably go on longer than any of us will be around, so esstentially he is right, but probably a poor choice of words.

They were pushing for Romney because McCain can cut in to their base and Romney could not. Hillary on the other hand could reinforce the Repub base...plain and simple, but I think Obama could too....no experience, no plans, no accomplishments....easier than fighting Hils as far as I can see!

As for Roman....I did not generlize, I would never say ALL dems are liberal morons who do not care about the country or its security.

I would say CERTAIN ones do not....and I would assume that people like Nancy and Betty don't run because they did not want too, the others are dead...would make it too hard for them.

TO say all repubs hate science, love war etc is really a cheapshot. PLain and simple.

If we as a country vote on a more likeable person and a better talker....boy are we doomed as a country.

After all hillarys wins last night she is still trailing obama 1,520 delegates to hillarys 1,424. I'm gonna assume that all the delegates numbers aren't in yet, but she is still far from beating obama those numbers look similar to the numbers prior to last night.

But what you have to remember here is this is alot different than the Republican process.

Most of those were winner take all contests, just like the election will be in the fall. The Dems screwed up with this system and are now fighting each other just like they will with the Michigan and Florida contests.

how stupid to put a state like Michigan, which has the highest unemployment and worst budget problems through this. We as taxpayers paid $10 million dollars for an election that the Dems blew off, now we will be asked to pay for another "make up" election to make it fair.

Whatever, give Hill the votes.

Clinton has a HUGE fighting chance especially since the delegates get divided and the super delegets come into play.

To ask her to quit, while encouraging Huckabee who had a snowballs chance in hell of winning, is very off the mark and unfair.

Erica Kane...I appreciate your posts, very insightful and they make sense!

Now we will see if Barack can take a punch and come back fighting.

What I feel he must do is show that he is a tough canidate. Not neccesarily get nasty, but show the Clinton camp and everyone around the country that he can fight back at negative attacks, but their are many millions of people who want to see if he will just cower and fade away, or show what kind of person he is.

I also feel that he does have to start giving some specifics about his plans for the economy and foreign policy,because I feel many are starting to get bored by the great speeches that have no substance to them.

But what he really has to do is use Hillary and Bill's 8 years in the WH against them. Great economic times and no wars (which you can't say about the current admin.) but he needs to get to the down and dirty stuff BTS while putting on the good face for the people.

It'stime for him to start being a politician.

now that is a great post Roman....and thats what I have been saying all along about him.

Thats all he is is words now...he has nothing else to offer...

He needs to show that he has ideas and he can think like a president.

Watch him when he gets any policy question....he stumbles, says "um" alot.

He needs to be more like Clinton and just fire back...even if your answer sucks, it seems like you have ideas and have it laid out...he has failed to do that.

I am not surprised to see him fading slightly becuase of this.

Both he and Clinton are drawing higher negative numbers not only because of their cat fight, but because he is failing to be anything more than a mouthpiece.

Oh, I'm out of touch. That's why Bush extended his tenure for a second term on the strength of gay marriage fear mongering. Because of me. :lol: Conservatives were bloodthirsty for a war that had nothing to do with avenging the murders committed on 9/11. But no, they can't be trigger happy psychos. HELLO, we're talking about a group that irrationally props its special brand of domination, either by corporations or military force.

Mulder, it is not bad to agree with people.

I honestly think McCain would have an easier time beating Obama than Hilary.

But it will be another close one either way I think.

McCain is not a bad guy, look how many conservatives HATE the thought of him being in there that they would actualyl vote for Hillary,...come on, that is not being another W.

Like it or not, the military and wars and so on will be an issue for many many years to come.

We will be fighting the war on terror for the remainder of our lives..or else 9-11 will keep happening until there is nothing left.

I think the McCain CLinton battle would be much more entertaining than the McCain Obama battle...experience vs. experience is alot better than experience vs. wind bag!

And stenbexck..in your view..every republican or person who voted for W is that person you characterize.

So all Dems or those who vote for dems are big government, tax tax tax politicians who would rather have us get attacked in our own country and protect the rights of terrorists, tree hugging SOB's?

I do not think that, but I guess if we go by your way of thinking.......it must be true?

I voted for W and I make no apologies for it. But I never wanted an amendment for gay marriage, I think stem cell reserach is a positive thing, etc......

You do not have to be fully against or fully for someone to know right from wrong and wrong from right.

Out of touch? I do believe you are with comments like that.

Sorry

No, I never provided my definition of the democratic agenda. None of those things would be in it though. :lol:

So if you know right from wrong, how are you confident in your decision to vote for Bush? HE doesn't even know right from wrong! One thing I'm not out of touch with is my own rationale.

Obama is screaming the math isn't there for Hillary, well it ain't there for you either. No one is going to get the number of delegates required to secure the nomination. Either the super delegates are going to decide this thing or some sort of deal has to be worked out. A Clinton/Obama ticket.... which is what it should have been in the first place.

    • @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.
