What the fuck kind of answer is this?

You know who else said a lot of things?

It was in her prepared remarks for the day. She didn't 'just misspeak.'

I've read a couple articles on this. She even repeated the claim shortly after the initial speech practically verbatim...only it ended with "[n]ow, that's what happened."

She said it during one of the debates

It's obvious to me she was speaking metaphorically, kinda like Rick Reuben.

Chuck Todd of MSNBC corrected himself. It was on her website 'as prepared from remarks.' Meaning it was a transcript of what she said, not prepared in advance.

But she has said it a number of times.

you ever notice in 24, nothing gets explained when Jack says I can't explain now, but I'll explain later... has he ever explained it later?

Like in "Round and Round" by Ratt! Stephen Pearcy keeps saying "What goes around comes around/I'll tell you why." But he never tells us why! (Unless "Love will find a way/just give it time" is why, but that's bullshit proselytizing.)

You know exactly what you want to "do with yourself".

Stop worrying about Hillary's bullshit and start preparing yourself for 8 more years of Republican rule.

You U.K.ers are clueless when it comes to American politics.

If Obama can hold off Hillary, he will beat McCain.

All the states that went to Kerry in 2004 will go to Obama. If McCain won't lay off his pro-NAFTA talk, Ohio (a deeply conservative state) will go to Obama. Only New Hampshire is likely to drift back to the Republicans.

Obama puts into play states like Colorado, and perhaps even the entire Deep South:

Political Wire on the night of the Mississippi Primary wrote:Mississippi is one of those rare Southern states that might be in play in the general election if Obama becomes the nominee. One Dem statistician tells First Read that there are three red states that could swing if African-American turnout was ever maximized (both in registration and in actual turnout): Georgia, Louisiana and, yes, Mississippi. So don't assume this is just one of those untouchable red states for the Dems when watching returns roll in tonight.

I took two years of my college education to try to understand (as best I could) Ireland, England, Scotland...and uh...sorta ignored Wales...so unless you have some deep understanding of American politics that I don't, kindly shut up about how America is hopelessly conservative.

P.S. - McCain is also old as shit...something that inspires an ageism in Americans that resonates far more deeply today than sexism or racism.

P.P.S. - Obama will FAR outraise McCain's campaign. Donors are loathe to bet on a losing horse...

I must say, i AM very interested in who McCain will pick as his VP nominee, because i can see a lot of pundits, advocacy groups, etc. talking about the fact that McCain will be 80 in 8 years, and that the VP will have a real possibility of ascending to the Presidency.

If Hillary somehow gets the nod, it will be Charlie Crist, the popular moderate governor of Florida. It's the only place Hillary will be able to take back from Republicans, and Crist would eliminate any chance of this.

Against Obama, the choice becomes more difficult to peg. McCain will have to wait until the Democrats sort out their nomination bullshit (bullshit that is starting to hurt Obama in the general election) to pick a VP.

Don't get testy with me you little cunt.

Mr. Food: the U.K.'s surlier Marsupialized.

But really, WHY does McCain win? Are you just being pissy, or do you really believe that?
