Bill Clinton does it again.lol He said in his speech that hillary/McCain were great patriots of this country and left out obama. An I'm not sure who said it but they called Gov. Richardson Judas and he responded by dissing all the people involved with clinton.lol I really don't think Hillary has much of a chance, obama's lead is way too big for her to make a real impact, because unlike the rep. both candidates get part of delegates within the state even if they lose the state. I think its really interesting that if they just gave the state's delegates to the winner that hillary would probably be winning or really close to obama since she has won the bigger states. The Democrats may want to look into just giving the delegates to the winner and not allocating delegates to each candidate after this election. Hillary's only chance to win are: 1) winning like 90% of the remaining delegates, 2) getting MI and FL votes counted(a really long shot) or a revote 3) Getting the superdelegates on her side to pull off the win(I really think the SD's should give the nom to the person that is leading in delegates imo). I think all of those things are gonna be really hard to pull off.imo But I've been shocked before so I wouldn't count hillary out just yet. Like others have said I think obama will go with Gov. Richardson that will help him with the latino vote, I really doubt he is gonna pick hillary as his vp, the clintons have shot themselves in the foot with their negative campaign against him. Plus picking hillary will go against his change message, how will it be change with old guard still in the white house?

According to CNN, obama has 209 SD's and hillary has 243 SD's. Obama has had a huge 10-point drop in the national polls CNN says obama has 49% to hillarys 43% and just this morning GMA said obama has 48% to hillarys 45%. So I think this Rev. Wright story has had a bad impact on his campaign and seems his speech didn't resonate as well as he had hoped but time will tell.

I'm so glad Barack's down in the polls, I hope he keeps dropping and dropping. The real Barack, I believe is coming out. I think he may very well be just as racist as his so-called minister. Which is a shame and disgrace. I did like Barack about as much as I did Hillary for quite some time, but the more I learn about Barack and listen to him he just seems all smug and all talk and that's it! I hope to God that Hillary wins the nomination, because if she doesn't, I'll have a hard time voting for Obama--although I'll never vote McCain. It'll be me voting Obama with grinding teeth or not voting at all(which will be a first for me in a Presidential election.)

Why are you saying obama is a racist? He shouldn't be held responsible for what his pastor says and he doesn't have to agree with every thing pastor wright says. Your sounding more and more like a republican. Are you sure you aren't a republican? Its really hard to tell sometimes on this board who's a dem and who's a rep because there was another poster that claimed to be a hillary supporter only for me to find out they were a republican and only wanted hillary for the nom because she's more vulnerable. I do think however obama needs to leave that church and find a new one. Its really hard for me to fathom why he would be involved with a church that is fundamentally against his politics and I think it does matter because it reflects badly on him.

An hillary isn't so squeaky clean either she made up a big tale about her awful trip to Bosnia with gunshots firing an all. Only for CBS to dig up hillary and chelsea being greeted with no gunshots and hillary was even taking pictures with the army. Seriously, does she have a memory problem or what? That was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay far from the truth.

One of the biggest problems I have with people saying he should have left the church is this.....

What Pastor Wright said was wrong, even though the sentiment maybe something many agree with in the black community. But, for those who say that Obama should have cut the pastor loose and took off, from right wing pundits to Joe Schmo......

When the pastors in the Catholic Church were revealed to have molested and raped many, many children over the last 60 some odd years, did any of these people leave the church?

Just wondering out loud.

    • Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster. Congratulations to Austria. 0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

    • Hahaha Sorry if I was too negative, I just started typing and typing once I got going hahaha
    • @dc11786 Thanks for taking time to answer my various questions, along with giving your thoughts on the different writing teams. I wonder why they didn't just have Ryder and TR leave together if Jane was going anyway. The discussions over the last few pages have made me more interested in watching these episodes than I have been over the years - without the extra details and analyses provided, these years can be difficult to decipher (not helped by how often Jo seems like a side character).
    • I didn't think this was very good (I've never yet seen a good episode of this revival), but you do get a lot of Michael Stroka. And if you are a Donna Reed Show fan, you also get Paul Petersen.

    • A very rare, fascinating look at camera blocking in a 1980 episode. Very loose, almost startlingly so (who expects to see Will Vernon with a cig dangling out of his mouth?). @vetsoapfan There's some Jacquie Courtney content in the back half of the video.

    • Barbara Stock shares memories of her time on Dallas, including that Ken Kercheval was the only cast member she knew outside of the show and that she did not actually realize she was being written out. https://www.remindmagazine.com/article/29593/barbara-stock-spenser-for-hire-dallas-chips-spinoff-doing-know/
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  I concur that this isn't the most interesting material, but I do wish I could see how JoBeth Williams played those trial moments.
    • If I remember correctly, they were interrupted before Nicole could reveal what the third thing was. I remember feeling like it was an intentional interruption, too. 
    • 1976 Pt 5 Joanne’s hopes are raised when Jack seems to respond to the new woman she’s become. She wore a new dress and had a lovely dinner with wine, and when Jack drank more than he was used to having, he reached for her. Her happiness is dimmed when he calls her Peggy, but she says nothing. The next morning, when Jack can remember nothing, she tells him they made love. When Peggy later tells Joanne she’s going to have to stop helping her make herself over as it’s becoming too painful, Joanne angrily lashes back that Peggy might just as well back off, because Jack made love to her last night. Peggy, angry and hurt, asks Jack if it’s true. Realizing that Joanne told Peggy to hurt her, he tells Peg he’s going to ask Joanne for a divorce now. But Peggy is still guilt-ridden over Joanne and, fearing she can’t handle it yet, tells Jack about Joanne’s suicide attempt. Jack, horrified, goes home to see Joanne, who soon realizes that Peggy must have told him about the pills. She assures Jack that she knows life is too precious to ever do that again. Once Jack is satisfied that she really means it, he returns to us Peggy. But Peggy is close to breaking from the guilt and tension she’s living with, and tells Jack that if he’s ever free, they can decide then. Needing a fresh perspective, Peggy takes Chris up on her offer that Peggy spend the night with her, as Snapper won’t be home.  Chris, meanwhile, has been spending her free time preparing Nancy’s apartment for her homecoming. Expressing appreciation for everything she’s done, Ron has offered to make her a table similar to one he’s made for Nancy. Chris has thanked him and has given him her address so he can deliver it. Stuart, wondering why Ron can’t seem to get another job despite the leads he’s been given, checks him out and learns he was in prison for burglary but there was also’ a rape charge, which was dropped. Chris asks Nancy, who explains that before their marriage Ron picked up a woman in a bar. She took him to her apartment and began to seduce him but then screamed rape. He had taken nothing, Nancy adds, but was told he’d rot in prison if he didn’t plead guilty to burglary. No one  told him that the woman had declined to testify. Nancy was the only one who believed him, and she with him against her family’s wishes. Ron walks in at the end of the conversation and informs Chris that he tried to deliver her table but  finally realized he was looking for the wrong address. When Chris later returns to her apartment, she finds Peggy whimpering on the floor in the dark. Slowly Chris gets the story from Peg: The lights wouldn’t -work when she arrived, and she was grabbed from behind, thrown to the floor, and raped. Chris convinces Peggy that the police must be called and manages to protect Peggy from brutal questioning by insisting upon an officer trained in dealing with rape victims. After Peggy is taken to the hospital, the investigator, Miss Weston, asks Chris who might have  known Peg was there—or might want to rape Chris herself. After thinking this over, Chris tells her about Ron. Jack has been trying to reach Peggy. Lashing out from his own pain, Stuart brutally tells him that she’s been raped and he is partially to blame, as she went to Chris’s to get away from her problem—him. Jack is shattered. Instinctively knowing that Ron is guilty, Chris confronts him. But Ron sticks to his story of looking for a wrong address and, under pressure from Chris, finally offers to be in a lineup. Brock tells his mother that Jill wants to visit Phillip’s grave. Kay replies it will be “a cold day in hell” before. She does. But when Jill asks Kay if she would put some flowers on the grave for her and her baby, Kay, touched, breaks down and asks Jill to go with her. Liz, knowing that Kay spends too much time alone, virtually forces her to accept an invitation for dinner and then invites Ralph Olsen, a plumber who is a widower. Kay is aloof at first -they apparently have nothing in common—but when Ralph turns out to be a former alcoholic, the ice is broken. Ralph offers to help Kay with her drinking problem, and she soon finds she likes him very much. Liz becomes concerned with Kay’s assumption that her friendship with Ralph is heading for much more and tries to warn Kay that. Ralph is not the marrying kind. She tries to head Kay off when she makes plans for a “love nest,” but Kay persists and attempts to seduce Ralph at her pool. He evades her passes and asks her if they can’t just slow things down. But Kay is undaunted, and since he isn’t proposing, she does so herself. Ralph, who has told Bill that Kay’s money stands in‘ their way, gently turns her down, explaining that she would need to change him and they wouldn’t be happy. Humiliated and hurt, Kay starts drinking again.
    • I think it wasn't just some of the poor casting choices that did the show in during its early days, but also the flat writing. Perhaps it was network interference? You'd think the Dobsons would have fought harder for their original vision, but after 6 months they dropped most of it.
