Clinton on Easley Street
April 29, 2008 9:57 AM
One week before the North Carolina primary, Gov. Mike Easley comes out for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.
Easley said that Clinton "makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy," per ABC News' Eloise Harper, in a comment that assuredly will cause something of a ruckus among Clinton's myriad gay supporters.
Easley also took a shot at Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, though he didn't make any references to his looking like a "pansy."
"There’s a lot of ‘yes we can’ and ‘yes we should’ going on," Easley said. "Hillary Clinton is ready to deliver, that’s the difference.”
Watch the VIDEO HERE.

Yep! Anytime the going gets tough, all I have to do is think of Hillary and how she's refused to give up - and thank God for that, because the Dems are going to need her for their nominee. She is truly an inspiration to me. Go Hillary!!

News flash! I am shocked, shocked to learn that Obama, Clinton, and McCain are politicians. There is politics taking place here.
Politicians lie. They all lie, and they lie all the time. Don't let anyone tell you different.
The only way you can tell what a politician might do in the future is look at what they have done in the past; how they have voted, what people they associated with, and what causes they championed.
I support Hillary because of what she has done, the causes she has championed, and the people in her circle. Obama has not really done much, and I do not particularly like the people he has chosen to associate with over the years.

There is so much "I hate Hillary" in this blog. It makes my head spin. You see the same thing in the exclusively "red state" blogs. Perhaps these are the same people. However, I get the impression that that haters are either far left or far right. (The two extremes of the political bell curve.) This hatred seems completely irrational. The Clinton supporters seem less inclinded to hate Obama, though some do. Anti-Obamacans mostly seem to think he cannot win.
Just an observation. Please feel free to ignore this.

@jgaw....
WHY HAVE I BEEN SITTING ON THIS INFO?
Because, like you, I WAS an avid supporter of the Clintons and believed their lies. I know it's difficult to think that the Clintons could ever manipulate the truth or misspeak...cough, cough..sniper fire!
BTW, I am at work...I am not an old geezer nerd stuck in the basement like yourself...I will gladly take my time to get the word out how the Clintons have pulled the wool over my eyes for the last time.
THE TRUTH HAS SET ME FREE! LOL!
OBAMA/WEBB '08 & '12

And this infighting just goes on day after day after day after day.
Meanwhile innocent people are starving dying in Iraq, Somalia, and 50 other places around the world. Katrina victims are still homeless, the econmy totally sucks, and 25% of the US is without proper healthcare.
Personally, the DNC and the RNC can just cram it as far as I'm concernerd.

Jay Biggs,
You need to take a look at this analysis of the electoral college and predictions for Hillary to win in the GE:

Way to go Hillary! This is a woman of true grit and determination in working hard for the American people. The Obamanations are pointing the fingers again, the usual defense for Obama is to go on the offense and blame Hillary, but Obama can't make excuses for 20 years with the crazy racist Rev. Wright. Where is Obama's 1999-2003 tax returns? Why won't he release them? Isn't Obama completely transparent?
GO and GO HILLARY 08!

Seems like its not only Wright that has a problem with Obama, looks like Al Sharpton is getting in on the act also.

Oops...I was so disgusted with my find of a Clinton-Kilpatrick coup that I forgot to include the link:
For all of us who support Obama and as a former supporter of the Clintons, you will appreciate the fact how all of this will turn on the Clintons if we get enough of the MSM to report it!
I have been beating my head against the wall, as to WHY NOW? Wright has been silent for so long and there is no doubt that the Clintons have used some of the $129,000,000 that they have earned to get him in front of the camera enough to create anxiety among white working voters. Well, this white working voter will not fall for this crap...

yes, you are right, easley gets it.
many of the governors do.
I would not be suprised to hear gov. bredsen from tn. endorse her also.

All very interesting, but the big point is being missed. Most people opposing Obama may have questions/doubts about him. I think an incredible number of those opposing Hillary just HATE her.
In other words, he has some chance of converting his opponents. She has almost none. Especially with independents.
Posted by: Jay Biggs | Apr 29, 2008 11:36:28 AM
OK...more evidence that the Clintons were behind the re-emergence of Wright
Check out this article regarding the Detroit mayor and Clinton coup written on April 13th!

Easley gets it. If Clinton is the nominee, the election is more likely to be about the economy, health care, teh war... If Obama is the nominee, this election is going to be about Wright, Ayers, flag pins, Rezko, bitter/cling.... Obama's claim to be vested with a unique capacity to transcend our divisions and unify the country is now exposed as the fallacy that it has always been...

In my most humble opinion, it appears as though Rev. Wright and the Michigan branch of the NAACP are on Hillary Clinton’s side. They are out to make Obama look bad, and they are doing a really good job.
They want Hillary to win.
They need Hillary to win.
They loved the Clinton years.
So, Rev. Wright, the Michigan branch of the NAACP, and most people of Michigan want Hillary to win. So watch this, as May 6 approaches, Rev Wright’s comments and appearances will intensify. Obama will look bad, voters to loose trust, and Hillary will come out smelling like roses.
In addition, Rev Wright is making all of the church leaders and preachers of all RACES look really, really bad. Now that’s sad!!!!
Hey, Gov. Mike Easley...welcome to the team!!!
btw...REV WRIGHT DOES NOT REPRESENT THE BLACK CHURCH

If Hillary Clinton manages to cheat her way to the nomination, using race-cards and lies - I will not vote Democratic. Dean laughably tells us that we democrats will be nice little sheep and fall into the party line when the election comes in November.
Wrong.
I will not reward gutter politics. I would rather have 100 years of John McCain, than four years of Hillary.
The Democrats are probably better off picking a third person right now to serve as candidate.

Where is the proof that the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright is a manipulated shill of the Clinton campaign?
By contrast, this morning Hillary acted swiftly to change the subject AWAY from Obama's meltdown. There's some pretty substantial proof.
It is no one's fault but Obama's that he chose to stick with his politically expedient choice of congregations.
By contrast, Oprah Winfrey left the very same church over disagreements with Wright. Obama did not.

bruce berger,
Either you are grossly distorting Hillary Clinton's position on MI and NH or you profoundly misunderstand it. Either way, you are dead wrong. If you are talking about the pledge, it concerned the prohibition on campaigning only. Have you ever looked at the pledge??
Posted by: countallthevotes | Apr 29, 2008 10:58:44 AM
Clintons have no shame, Obama may be green, but man! if these tactics are true, it makes you wonder what other things they have done.
Posted by: Jack | Apr 29, 2008 10:57:02 AM
roxie,
you have been sitting on all of this information, and just going to release it tonight?
why didn't you bring her down when she ran for the senate for ny.
why didn't you bring bill clinton down
when they had the big aids conference,and talked about how much money they had for aids meds, and needles.
why didn't you bring bill down when he was with hwb during the tsunami?
why didn't you bring bill down when he was in new orleans helping with the katrina survivors?
why are you just releasing this stuff tonight?
if you are releasing it tonight,
how are you going to get out of that basement?
