Grim news… Kentucky and Oregon primaries recede into the background as “Lion of the Senate” is diagnosed today with a malignant brain tumor.
Obama: “It’s heartbreaking. Ted Kennedy is not only a giant of the Senate, but he’s a good friend. You couldn’t have a better supporter than Ted Kennedy. The news came in today and it’s a lot worse, but he’s a fighter. He’s been fighting on behalf of working families all his life. … It’s a testament to how beloved he is that you are seeing well wishes from across the aisle from everyone in political life and Massachusetts.”
Hillary: “Ted Kennedy’s courage and resolve are unmatched, and they have made him one of the greatest legislators in Senate history. Our thoughts are with him and Vicki and we are praying for a quick and full recovery.”
McCain: “I have described Ted Kennedy as the last lion in the Senate, and I have held that view because he remains the single most effective member of the Senate.”
Sen. Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia: “I want to take a moment to say how distraught and terribly shaken I am over the news of my dear friend, my dear, dear friend, dear friend, Ted Kennedy. My thoughts and my humble prayers are with Sen. Kennedy, my dear friend Ted, with his wife Vicki, and with the members of the Kennedy family. I hope and pray that in an all-caring omnipotent God will watch over Ted and keep Ted here for us and for America.”

n February, the Center for Responsive Politics reported that Sen. Obama’s political action committee had given $694,000 to superdelegates in the previous three years. Of the 81 who had announced their support for Obama at the time, 34 had received donations totaling $228,000.
HOW’S THAT FOR “CHANGE”??
HOW’S THAT FOR “FIXING” THOSE “SAME OL’ BROKEN POLITICS IN WASHINGTON” THAT OBAMA FALSELY PAINTS HIMSELF AS BEING ABOVE?? AMERICA HAS JUST BEEN OFFICIALLY SNOWED. BUT THIS WON’T HOLD UP IN THE GENERAL ELECTION BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY A PLACE IN THE WHITEHOUSE FOR TRUE AMERICANS, AND IF NOT HILLARY CLINTON, WE WILL GLADLY WELCOME JOHN MCCAIN. U CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!! CLINTON 08′ OR MCCAIN 08′
OBAMA’S TRANSPARENCY IS OFFENSIVELY OBVIOUS. WHICH IS WHY I’M BAFFLED AS TO WHY SO MANY AMERICANS HAVEN’T FIGURED HIM OUT YET. THE ONLY THING I CAN COME UP WITH IS THAT MAYBE THEY’VE INGESTD WAY TOO MANY PAINT CHIPS AS CHILDREN, OR JUST FLAT-OUT DON’T GIVE A DAMN. SADLY, I THINK THE ANSWER IS PROBABLY THE SECOND REASON.
