Obama

You know, deep-down the truth is that I really hate politics -- especially campaign politics -- and it depresses me how many people seem to take it seriously. Here is Obama tonight:
"You know, a few weeks ago no one imagined that we'd have accomplished what we did here tonight in New Hampshire," he told supporters. "For most of this campaign, we were far behind. We always knew our climb would be steep."
Such weasel words, completely unlike what he'd say if he had just a few percent more of the vote, where it'd be a completely different fucking media story. The story is not that the Clinton machine gained 39% of the vote, but that the essentially forgotten and overlooked Obama ticket gained an amazing 36% of the vote.

The MSM, blind in ways bloggers are not, seems to completely misunderstand this point.

it's not surprising that Bill Clinton is there with his wife. He's behind her, which puts him in more of a "support" position. Regardless, all of the liberal sheep still worship Clinton, so of course they want him around whenever they can get him in there.
