The Watercooler for 08/26/08 1:00 AM

Dennis  Kucinich wil speak at the convention on Tues. nighrt around 6pm. on the economy.   Dennis and  Elizabeth will be at the skylark Lounge upstairs from 9 to 10pm.   They would like to meet you.    Dennis will also be on Bill Maher show, and Randi Rhodes this week.

but they get lousy hotel rooms.  Still, not too much griping.

Good seats, lousy hotels.

As the convention wound down to a close Monday evening, the Republican National Committee blasted out video of ex-Clinton strategist James Carville slighting the night's festivities. "If this party has a message," he said on CNN, "it's done a hell of a job hiding it tonight, I promise you that."

Mommy Mary will comfort you Jimmy.

FU and the elephant you rode in on!

McCain has overplayed the split and really ticked off Hillary and she will have a free shot at McCain because he is using her in his ads.

you Hillary bashers need to let go, she is on our team

Here it is, fresh from the NY Times:

GOP operatives set up the Nutjobs for Hillary/McCain news conference, which makes them responsible for all the "news" coverage it spawned.

This almost screams for street theater a la "Billionaires for Bush". Make it "Nutjobs for McCain" and have people out there spouting about all the reasons they are voting for McCain so that someone else (Hillary, Santa Claus, little green folk from Mars) can run against him in four years.

But what I think Obama should do is send a mailer to members of feminist groups pointing out all the despicable ways the GOP uses women, including Hillary, for its scummy, win-at-all costs ends. And then just let the facts sink in.

I won't be watching "Hillary night", BTW. Howard didn't get his own night, so she's not getting one in my home. I think "America's Got Talent" is back on.

I'm meen and bittah and I can't let go. LOL!

Plus, I really just can't trust her. Proximity makes the heart grow less fond.

I hope you're right and McCain's total overstepping has her really POed.

But I'll still read about it tomorrow vs. watch it tonight.

her supporters (and many for Edwards) thought Obama did not go far enough

guess what so did Ted Kennedy as Barack's biggest backer and he still calls health care a "right"

and so now does the Democratic Party platform after Obama and Clinton folks joined forces

Hillary could re-give Ted's speech from last night and some pundit would point out the difference

guess what there isn't any now, the Democratic Party gathers every four years to place a name on the ballot to go with the Party and we right now are going to have as our representative someone clearly comfortable with that role, because it is the Party of the people

and if you have been paying attention to his speeches lately, he gets it more than ever, that WE THE PEOPLE deserve a government that represents us, but the only way that is true is if his election is the beginning of our taking it back

There may be Clinton people who are selfishly carrying a grudge because they won't have an office in the West Wing.

the people that "voted" for Clinton that will vote for John McCain were never Democrats to start with

the media is playing up those sore losers of both stripes but Hillary isn't one of them 

... the baton has been passed to a new generation, the freshmen class is moving on up.

"If he's assassinated, blacks will riot"

Gimme a freakin' break!

flexed it's muscles enough in the primary fight for Obama to pick someone on his right as a running mate.

The differences between Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton are pretty slim to none on most policy issues.

yes it is the wing of the Party that Howard ran against and came up just short, but the tipping point was reached and we Progressives have an opportunity with Obama if he wins, and so do other Democrats of all stripes, to get the Party they want;the fights get hammered out in sub-committee work in Congress, and we here at DFA need to get busy and elect those endorsed critters because if they don't win Steny Hoyers' wing does
