The NEWS IS WRONG: Hillary Did NOT Win Fundraising Race
2007-04-03 06:46:00 Yes Hillary Clinton has indeed got $26 million bucks. Thats what the news says. That part is correct.What they DO NOT say is that Hillary got most of her money in $4600 slices, or $2300 for primaries and $2300 for general election. This is because she has opted out of receiving federal funds for the general election, which legally allows her to raise money for both the primaries and the general election.So who REALLY won the fundraising race? Barack Obama did.Barack Obama has raised 20 million bucks FOR THE PRIMARIES ALONE. Obama has not yet decided whether or not to accept federal funds for the general election. Which means he is currently limited to $2300 per donor. Which means more people are giving him money that they are giving Clinton. I'm sure Hillary's camp knows this hidden detail that the news outlets have failed to mention. I'm sure they are shaking in their boots or high heels.Analysts expected Hillary to raise 30-35 million bucks. She didn't make that cut. ... More About: News , Fundraising , Race , The News
Hillary Clinton Drops Out of the Race
2007-04-02 02:38:00 In one of the most shocking news of the 2008 presidential campaigns, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton , has just announced in a press conference a few minutes ago, that she is dropping out of the race.For a woman with so much ambition and drive, this must have been a very difficult decision to make.At first she would not specify the reasons for dropping out, simply saying they were "personal." But after repeated questions from reporters...Hillary Clinton , the iron-willed woman, broke down."I've had enough! It's too much! I worked so hard for this!!! I became a senator for 6 years...just so I can have this chance! And now...some some....inexperienced upstart from nowhere is gaining on me! My staff tell me he will overtake my lead in 2 months! 2 months!" Senator Clinton blurted out."Not only that...my husband...if I can even call him that, is back to his stupid old tricks again. I have begged him to keep to keep..."Bill Junior" under control at least until after the elections! Bu... More About: Race , Linton
Hillary's Problem with Women -- They Can't Stand Her
2007-03-30 04:34:00 As you might already know, Hillary Clinton’s polling numbers are tumbling.But thats OLD news. It's been tumbling for a while.Here's the shocker: Hillary is faring POORLY with the FEMALE electorate. Thats right. Just because she's a woman does not mean she automatically gets the women's vote. I mean, why would other women want to vote for a cold 'biatch' for president? Todays women would LOVE to see a woman president, but she has to be the right woman. And that woman is NOT HILLARY.According to the recent Rasmussen poll, 43% of women say they will not vote for Hillary. And the latest poll by John Zogby reported an almost identical number – 42% of women would not vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstances.Hillary Clinton's lack of support from her own gender is further underscored by the now famous bootleg 1984 Apple ad spoof. Who throws the hammer at Hillary's face in that video? Is it a big burly man? NO. It's a young, athletic, sexy blond woman. Exactly... More About: Women , Problem , Stand
1984 Hillary Big Sister Video Creator Unmasked
2007-03-22 09:05:00 The greatest mystery of the week has been solved. After massive media attention, it was only a matter of time before ParkRidge 47--the anonymous creator of the now famous video--would be unmasked.His creation has been hailed as the first shot in the bow, of an election battle that will be fought and won on the internet.Philip de Vellis, a strategist with Blue State Digital, the firm that designed Obama's offical campaign site, admitted he is the creator of the 1984 Hillary Big Sister video. De Vellis has resigned from the firm to protect it from any fallout. Personally, I don't think he should have resigned. He created the video of his own accord, on his own free time, using his personal equipment--which he said is simply regular Apple equipment. It was a personal project. Why should he resign? The Obama campaign released a statement Wednesday about this news "The Obama campaign or its employees had no knowledge and had nothing to do with the creation of the ad. We were notifie...

Barack Obama Invades Hillary's Home Turf!
2007-03-11 10:06:00 Watch out Hillary, Barack Obama is invading your home turf!Since Barack Obama opened his presidential fund-raising committee, he has made several low-key visits to New York, quietly growing his supporters there, and getting a few contributions. New York is Hillary Clinton's home turf. Yesterday however, Barack Obama arrived in New York without making any effort to keep things under wraps. This was open invasion of Hillary's turf. Obama had sold-out back-to-back events that raised him almost $1,000,000!In your face Hillary! And to make sure that everyone knew (ehem...Hillary included) about it, his supporters passed out Obama signs to people lining the street.We are here because the country is calling us,” Mr. Obama told a cheering crowd. “We are here because we are at a crossroads.” He continued, “Every 20 or 30 years, every generation, a moment comes when we have to look up and ask ourselves, ‘Are we prepared to meet the challenges that this generation faces?’ ”O...

Is America Ready for Queen...err...President Hillary?
2007-02-23 09:23:00 Some of you may be asking, isn't one reign enough?Ahh...but this time it will be DIFFERENT. Back then in the Bill Clinton Era, Hillary was merely Queen . Should she get elected to the presidency, I believe she will act not just like a Queen, but a Queen REGNANT. Big difference.If heads rolled under Queen Hillary's behind-the-scenes power brokering back in the 90's, you can only imagine how many heads will roll under Her Majesty The Queen Regnant Hillary Rodham Clinton's new reign!Why, even now, as a mere senator, she acts like a queen. She is not to be criticized! She can do no wrong! And worse...she cannot be BOOED!Mistakes, what mistakes? The Queen makes no mistakes! The Queen is perfect!Real positions on major issues? No...a Queen does not bother with such things. Such things are for mere plebians! The Queen simply tells the people what they like to hear and the people of the land will stay happy little subjects!Most of her appearances are very carefully scripted, the vis...

Is America Ready for A Black President?
2007-02-23 02:35:00 I think that is the wrong question to ask.First of all, Barack Obama is HALF WHITE-HALF BLACK. You may already know that, but I need to repeat that. His Kenyan father abandoned him and his mother when he was but a baby. He was raised by his white mother and his white grandparents. He rediscovered and reconnected with his African roots only later on in his life. For sometime he was conflicted with his identity. But not anymore. Here we have a unique man, with a truly remarkable life story. Here is a chance for the nation to have a leader who can understand both the issues that concern the majority population, and the issues that concern its largest minority population.So if the above mentioned question is the wrong one to ask. What is the right question? I think the question should be..."Is America ready for a President who can UNITE a divided country?"And then answer: HELL YES!Here we have a man with an uncanny talent for communicating with different types of people.

The Obama star is one that is quickly rising. Whether or not this bright star will become a falling star, only time will tell. But one thing is for sure, this is gonna be an interesting election.With the nation hungry for change, many people are looking to the fresh face in Washington that is Obama. He's got new ideas.
