I may seem like a dog in pursuit of a bone on this issue about being sleep deprived, tired and "misspeaking" about what should be considered a traumatic event but I can't see how a person can "misspeak" about something like that. I am certainly not her and I don't know how sharp of a memory she has on day to day events but I'm sure she does so many things that she can't possibly recall them all and as time goes by it's even harder to recall. I just know that from personal experience that traumatic events will stand out more vividly than what you ate for breakfast the day before, unless you block them out of your memory.

Her "misspeaking" would be plausible if she had been around sniping at some other time and she mixed up story locations or times but that wasn't said to be the case at all. It's nothing personal against her because I'd react the same way to anyone telling a story like that and later saying he/she misspoke about it.

Mulder, stay passionate, my friend.

All I think I'm saying is that look at both sides of both canidates, and that will do us all better as Independent thinking voters for whoever gets the nom (Obama I hope ;) . I couldn't resist. Sorry :lol: ).

But.......you really took a HUGE step by saying that Hillary's campaign has had some poor planning and execution. Obama has done his fair share of stumbling, but 1. He can admit that he has done it, lending himself to the feeling that even if you don't like him, you can have alittle respect for him because he can admit when he screwed up, and 2. She needs to back up, look at all the mistakes that her campaign has made, keep on with the self reflection that she ahs started lately, STOP ATTACKING OBAMA, and build herself for a future run.

And, for the record......if Hillary had ran a self reflecting campaign, kept her husband at home, and got rid of people like Mark Penn and the like ealier, she may be leading.

I really thought McCain was the really deal but now he seems just every other rightwing guy.

Either straight talk Johns McCain was an act or he is willing to do or say anything to win the White House.

The stupid thing if he was still straight talk John McCain he would be able to pick off tons of Obama or Clintion voters who will refuse to vote for Obama or Clinton depending who get's the nom.

instead he's gone way to the right and Obama or Clinton voters will instead stay home ,which means who could still win.

However Obama seems to be the only one elft to be able to draw Dems , Indy and GOP voters.

Oh yep he is a definite Republican, not a RINO (I consider Arnold Schwarzenegger a RINO...Arnold is more liberal than, probably, Joe Lieberman. He pretty much is a Democrat in Republican clothing).

I lost respect for McCain when he sucked up to Bush in 2004 after Bush smeared him like no other in 2000

If hillary doesn't win big in Pennyslvannia, with a least a 10% lead in the votes, I really think hillary needs to call obama at 3 am( since thats her favortie time of the day.lol) and tell him she will end her bid for the presidential nom if he makes her his vp. Because there's no way she is gonna win this if she doesn't get 90% of the remaining delegates and beats obama by big margins in the next couple of races. Obama currently has a 130 plus delegate lead over hillary, so whatever states she wins obama will get some of those delegates also, so statistically he will still be ahead no matter what unless like I said she wins huge I'm talking about hillary 60% and to obama 40% win, does anyone honestly think this will happen? I honestly don't think the SD's are gonna vote for her over obama if he has the lead. Waiting till the Dem's convention is going to be very damaging and more people will start looking at McCain, just look at the poll numbers above.

Colin Powell praises Barack Obama

By Alex Spillius

Last Updated: 12:18am BST 11/04/2008

Colin Powell, the former US secretary of state, paid tribute to Barack Obama yesterday, praising the young senator's handling of his presidential campaign while playing down his inexperience.

Gen Powell said: "He doesn't have experience at the senior levels of national government. But I've seen other individuals who have come along that didn't have that breadth of experience."

Gen Powell, a Republican, is yet to endorse a candidate. He described Mr Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain all as "friends", but his remarks will fuel speculation that he will back Mr Obama in his bid to become the first black US president.

I disagree that it will hurt him. Colin Powell is still pretty respected by some people and it's not as if he's a radical person that is in the midst of great controversy. He's very low key and he comes across as trustworthy. I don't see where he said anything that is going to hurt Obama and I doubt if he praised or praises either or both of the other candidates it would be deemed as being hurtful to them. I fail to see how what he said is going to hurt Obama.

    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in its final season, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
    • Great thought.  I mostly forgot about Kate's cancer.
