GOP President candidate Herman Cain:

I just got back from China. Ever heard of the Great Wall of China? It looks pretty sturdy. And that sucker is real high. I think we can build one if we want to! We have put a man on the moon, we can build a fence! Now, my fence might be part Great Wall and part electrical technology…It will be a twenty foot wall, barbed wire, electrified on the top, and on this side of the fence, I’ll have that moat that President Obama talked about. And I would put those alligators in that moat!

Not to be outdone, former Senator and current GOP presidential candidate is calling for sharks with lasers on their heads to be put in moat rather than alligators. Read More

Add Mitt Romney to the long list of Republicans who think GOP presidential candidate Jon McCain is going to lose. In a fundraising email for Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney predicts a victory for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is imminent.

His opponent was handpicked by Chuck Schumer and will be a reliable vote for the Democrats. And as we face the very real possibility of an Obama presidency, that's the last thing we need.

It's more critical than ever that we have a strong Republican leader to act as a "firewall" against bad legislation, tax increases, and increased spending.

The NRSC is once again echoing Mitt Romney's statement with an ad for Republican Senator Gordon Smith.

Apparently the only thing stopping us from getting Bin Laden is the lack of human spies who can swim in between the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, once again giving the American people the straight talk.

“I will look you in the eye and promise you that I will get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice,” McCain said in response to a direct question from one of the 2,000 people in attendance at the college’s Pemberton campus gym.

McCain said the key to ending the long search for bin Landen was to increase the number of human spies abroad.

“We need better human intelligence. We need people who can swim in the water,” McCain said.

Republican Presidential candidate John McCain.

Senator Clinton has earned great respect for her tenacity and courage. The media often overlooked how compassionately she spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of Americans, and she deserves a lot more appreciation than she sometimes received. As the father of three daughters, I owe her a debt for inspiring millions of women to believe there is no opportunity in this great country beyond their reach. I am proud to call her my friend. Pundits and party elders have declared that Senator Obama will be my opponent. He will be a formidable one.

Senator John McCain is full of it. Senator Obama in this speech tonight, hits McCain right back.

The Clintons are shameless. Everyone spins, but the way the Clintons lie is indeed troubling.

Bill Clinton:

"I never thought it would be the Democratic Party that didn’t want to count votes in Florida," he said at a rally at the University of Montana. "I thought that was a Republican strategy -- or strategery as the case may be. And I just ask you all this, do you really believe Florida would be getting this kind of treatment if the vote had turned out the other way?"

They are willing to say and do anything to bring themselves back into the White House. Some might argue or say that I’m overreacting, but this has become an emerging pattern. They were in full outrage mode when Senator Obama made statement about ideas and the GOP, but Bill Clinton has just connected the stealing of the White House by the GOP and the Supreme Court to the failed candidacy of Hillary Clinton.

Once again, President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Campaign are full of it. This time they are saying that pledge delegates in caucus states should be discounted.

Bill Clinton:

"Right now, among all the primary states, believe it or not, Hillary's only 16 votes behind in pledged delegates," said Bill Clinton, "and she's gonna wind up with the lead in the popular vote in the primary states. She's gonna wind up with the lead in the delegates [from primary states]."

"It's the caucuses that have been killing us," he added.

Big blue states, winning states that Democrats have to win in 2008, electoral votes, states with proud African-Americans, states that Jessie Jackson has won, states that Republicans are going to win in 2008, small states, caucus states, states with white working class Democrats, states with Hispanics, latté states.

What will be the next spin coming out of the Clinton Campaign? Is the Clinton Campaign going to try to unseat Obama’s pledges delegates he won in caucus states at the Convention?

Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico has more ‘Experience’ than Hillary Clinton.

Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut has more ‘Experience’ than Hillary Clinton.

Senator Joe Biden of Delaware has more ‘Experience’ than Hillary Clinton.

Vice President Dick Cheney has more ‘Experience’ than Hillary Clinton.

And, the Republican nominee for President John McCain has more ‘Experience’ than Hillary Clinton.

Click on the link to view Hillary Clinton angry outburst.

During a Campaign stop in Ohio with Democratic Governor Ted Strickland, Hillary Clinton unleashed one of her last ditch effort to stop Obama march towards the nomination.

Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday that a pair of mailings sent to voters by rival Barack Obama's campaign criticizing her health care plan and trade views are false, misleading and a betrayal of his pledge to practice a new style of politics.

"Shame on you, Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public — that's what I expect from you," Clinton said angrily, waving the mailings in the air.

"Meet me in Ohio, and let's have a debate about your tactics," she added.

It’s going to get ugly. Senator Clinton is going to try to link the Democratic Senator of Illinois, Barack Obama, to Republican Karl Rove.

Last night, Republican John McCain echoed President Bush attacks on Senator Obama in this Wisconsin victory speech.

Or will we risk the confused leadership of an inexperienced candidate who once suggested invading our ally, Pakistan, and sitting down without pre-conditions or clear purpose with enemies who support terrorists and are intent on destabilizing the world by acquiring nuclear weapons?

Just like President Bush, McCain is full of it. It got so bad, even the very serious Joe Klein calls McCain attacks utter nonsense.

It was the first time a Presidential candidate has arrived on the deck of an aircraft carrier by plan. The jet made what is know as a "tailhook" landing with the plan traveling about 150 mph, hooking onto the last of four steel wires across the flight deck and coming to a complete stop in less than 400 feet.
The exterior of the four-seat Navy S-3B Viking was marked with "Hillary 1" in the back and "Commander-in-Chief in Waiting" just below the cockpit window. On the plane's tail was the insignia of the squadron, the "Blue Wolves."

Moments after the landing, the Hillary Clinton, wearing a green flight suit and holding a white helmet, got off the plane, saluted those on the flight deck and shook hands with them. Above him, the tower was adorned with a big sign that read, "Mission Accomplished."

Press Secretary Taylor Marsh has release the follow text of Hillary Clinton’s speech.

If you only count the states that matter.

In another attempt to deny reality, Paul Lukasiak is making the case that Hillary Clinton is the popular vote leader base on exit polls. Via Taylor Marsh.

Based on exit polls, among the approximately 16.3 million people who identified themselves as Democrats, over 678,000 more voted for Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama. If we’re going to "let the people decide" who the Democratic nominee would be, shouldn’t we be basing that on the will of Democrats themselves?

Taylor Marsh calls herself a Democrat, but she also allows Larry C. Johnson to continue his racist attacks on Senator Obama on her blog. Taylor Marsh even goes as far to call Larry C. Johnson an expert to legitimize his rants against the Democratic Senator of Illinois. I won’t link to Taylor Marsh and Larry C. Johnson's Obama hate feast.

First it was Clinton’s Pollster Mark Penn telling the American people the states that Obama won in the Democratic primary are not very significant, expect Illinois. Now, we have Superdelegate and Clinton operative Harold Ickes telling us what swing states are significant.

I'm on a conference call with Clinton operative Harold Ickes, in which he's floating a new-ish argument about why Hillary would be the stronger Democratic noimnee (this was in the context of the decision facing superdelegates): Hillary has won key general-election swing states like Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, and Arkansas, while Obama's won a lot of states Democrats will have zero chance of carrying in November, like Nebraska, Kansas, and Idaho.

The politics of parsing at is best.
