David Geffen may have sunk Hillary today

Obama vs Hillary vs Biden vs Kucinich = Bill Richardson, your next President.

Please, let us get a fiscal conservative who cuts taxes, has an immigration policy, isn't homophobic, is pro-choice, has foreign policy experience and has intellectual curiosity in the White House.

SportsJournalists.com - spread the word. Bill Richardson can create jobs, be environmentally responsible, tough on terror and bring real education reform.

Fear the Richardson.

The GOP has no one that can win. HA HA.

 

Ragu hits on the problem that I -- and I assume many others -- have with Hilary. It's not that bullshit about people "not being ready" for a woman president. It's because if you cut through her ambition, all you have is ... ambition. She stands for nothing but her ambition. I have no use for that in a male candidate, a female candidate, an extraterrestrial candidate.

 

Perhaps, but . . . .a Hollywood idiot bashing Hillary won't hurt her, except in Malibu.

 

You may be right.

 

You know.. I've been wondering if when Primary time comes, Republicans are going to be taking Democrat tickets and voting for the person they believe easiest to defeat.. in this case, I believe it's Hilary. People think it happened in the Governor's race in Missouri in '04 and I'm pretty sure with everyone running this year on both sides, if their favored applicant starts out on top, this could happen again.

 

In Missouri, there is no voter registration in parties. We would walk in, tell them which ballot we want, and vote. I don't know how many states actually require a person to register as a dem. or repub. In states where there is no independent primary, I wonder how people registerred as Independent's vote...

 

In my state you can register by party, but I don't believe there's anything that keeps you from voting in the other party's primary. I'm an independent, so I feel like I should be able to vote in both.

 

That's moronic on the state's part. On the part of ANY state that allows that, since it definitely opens the door for the chicanery you described above. I dislike the restriction having to vote only for my party in the primaries puts on me, but it prevents ballot stuffing.

Independents should be allowed to vote in both.

I'll listen to Billy, if he comes to Iowa and give us a reason to consider him. Right now, Barack is looking pretty impressive to the good folks here. Downtown was in full chaotic mode tonight with Barack at the Convention Complex, the stem cell public hearing at the Statehouse, and the wrestlers in town for the state tournament at Wells Fargo Arena.

I'd wish someone would have asked Obama if he was going to check out the grapplers up the street tonight. He wouldn't hesitate at all and say yes. Hillary would have given you a pained expression on her face and cringe as Bill would be eyeing all of the wrestling cheerleaders during the afternoon sessions.

 

I especially love the LA Times story on this.

In Hollywood, Clinton campaign officials have moved aggressively to limit Obama's inroads and force longtime donors to back the former first lady.

Her campaign chairman, Terry McAuliffe, recently warned donors that Clinton would remember those who did not back her.

"You are either with us or you're against us," McAuliffe told potential donors during a dinner at Saban's house.

So far, the appeal has not succeeded. Some, such as Geffen and fellow DreamWorks studio co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, have been drawn to the 45-year-old Obama, while others are following the lead of Norman Lear in supporting multiple candidates to foster a dynamic debate.

When Lear, the legendary TV sitcom producer, was told of McAuliffe's comments earlier this month, he responded: "What's Hillary going to do? Jail me?"

Adopting Lear's strategy are singer Barbra Streisand, former Paramount head Sherry Lansing and another DreamWorks founder, Steven Spielberg — all of whom are giving early contributions to multiple candidates.

 

With good reason, maybe:
