"Retracing Steps, McCain Is Feeling Rejuvenated" by ADAM NAGOURNEY and MARC SANTORA
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Senator John McCain has nowhere near the resources he did in 2000. His once gold-plated campaign organization collapsed last summer, unable to raise the money needed to sustain it. Mark McKinnon, his media adviser, is putting together advertisements for Mr. McCain at cost — allowing him to at least hold his own with his main opponent, Mitt Romney, on the air in the final hours of the campaign here.
Eight years ago, Mr. McCain would send invitations to 20,000 voters to try to ensure a good turnout for an event; this time, his aides said, they could typically afford just 5,000 mailers. Some of his closest aides — Mark Salter and Charles Black — say they are forgoing paychecks for now.
And the tone of Mr. McCain’s advertisements — and his attacks on opponents, arrows sheathed in jokes — have grown more acerbic. Mr. McCain refused to run attack advertisements responding to Mr. Bush in New Hampshire in 2000, and Mr. Bush took issue when Mr. McCain ran an advertisement saying, there is “only one man running for president who knows the military and understands the world.”
This time, to make the same point about Mr. Romney, also a governor with no foreign experience, Mr. McCain has run advertisements on the Internet that show jarring images of terrorists in masks holding guns. One of his main television ads spotlights Mr. Romney’s changing positions on some issues, and highlights an editorial in The Concord Monitor calling him “a phony.”
And Mr. McCain’s post-New Hampshire prospects, should he win on Tuesday, are if anything less certain than they were in 2000, when he left this state confident that he would beat Mr. Bush. He has barely any organization in Michigan, the next state to vote, said Saul Anuzis, the state Republican chairman there. Mr. McCain was forced to lay off all but one of his staff members because of his financial difficulties.
He has more of a presence in South Carolina, but there he would face a tough challenge from Mike Huckabee. Mr. McCain appears at times more coiled than in 2000, reluctant to say anything that might jinx the way things are going. At the same time, he seems to be enjoying this campaign just as much as the last one: the nonstop attention from voters and journalists, the continued conversations and probing and traveling.
Mike Murphy, a friend and close adviser to his last campaign, showed up this weekend and the two men were before long loudly exchanging stories — “tell about the time” Mr. McCain would start — in the back of the bus.
We don't need a bunch of "tell about the time" boys in the White House, folks!
We got REAL PROBLEMS NOW!
Out of money after the near meltdown of his campaign last summer, collapsing in the polls and forced to lay off most of his staff, Mr. McCain went back to New Hampshire, to do what worked for him last time in a state that has already viewed him with affection: a poll by CNN and WMUR released Sunday found that 80 percent of Republicans and 62 percent of Democrats said they had a favorable view of him.
Like last time, he is riding the Straight Talk Express, his traveling press conference of a bus, beginning his sentences with “I’m going to give you a little straight talk” and entertaining his audiences with self-deprecatory asides, delivered with a double-arch of the eyebrows.
As of Sunday, he had held 102 town-hall-style meetings, compared with 114 in 2000. He was going back to the same places, telling the same jokes — “We have so little water in Arizona that the trees chase the dogs,” he says — and using the same props to work the crowd, like the confetti gun.
Wouldn't New Hampshire voters say I've seen this movie before?
There was never any question that reporters would be given free access to him on his bus. And there was never any question that he would pay visits to the same newspaper editorial boards that endorsed him last time. It is also why he is planning to end his campaign on Monday night with a rally in Portsmouth, the same place he ended his 2000 campaign.
No wonder the PRESS likes McCain.
We American's hate the rabid, war-mongering fart!
McCain: “I found a nickel on the ground here with its head up, and I kept it. With the head up, not the tail up.”
So that's going to be how he wins the primary, huh?
There is one other difference between last time and 2008. When Mr. McCain rolled into Peterborough on Saturday night in his two-bus motorcade, 2,000 people were waiting to hear him. It was a far cry from the barren hall that confronted him back in late 1999 on his first trip to Peterborough as a candidate for president, where even the promise of free ice cream failed to bring a crowd."
Oh, God, NO!!!
And see how they are PUMPING up the BROKE McCain!!??
This "ELECTION" is MORE CROOKED than a dog's hind leg!
"In New Hampshire, Bill Clinton Is Finding Less Spark" by MARK LEIBOVICH
DURHAM, N.H. — Former President Bill Clinton has been drawing sleepy and sometimes smallish crowds at big venues in the state that revived his presidential campaign in 1992. He entered to polite applause and rows of empty seats at the University of New Hampshire on Friday. Several people filed out midspeech, and the room was largely quiet as he spoke, with few interruptions for laughter or applause. He talked about his administration, his foundation work and some about his wife.
That's because America HATES GLOBALISTS!
Mr. Clinton kept saying as he worked through a hoarse-voiced litany of why his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, is a “world-class change agent.”:
“Hillary’s got good plans."
We don't like her EndGame plans!
He took questions, quickly worked a rope line and left. Maybe the sluggish day was a blip. It was, in fairness, the day after Mrs. Clinton finished third in the Iowa caucuses, behind Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and John Edwards of North Carolina. Mr. Clinton was working on 30 minutes’ sleep. He traveled to New Hampshire from Iowa in the wee hours, and the university was on winter break.
But there was a similarly listless aura at the previous stop, in Rochester. And again, on Saturday in Bow, at just the sort of high school gym that the master campaigner used to blow out. Only about 225 showed up in Bow — about one-third the capacity of the room — to hear Mr. Clinton hit his bullet points on the subprime lending crisis, $100 barrels of oil and how “10 of Hillary’s fellow senators have endorsed her.”
Arthur Cunningham of Bow, after the speech:
“The crowd seemed very passive. Maybe they were tired.”
That's NOT GOOD for the Comeback Kids!
Since Mrs. Clinton’s performance in Iowa last week, one of the more intriguing narratives around her campaign has been the “Bill to the Rescue” conceit.
People with ties to the campaign said Mr. Clinton has been increasingly engaged in strategy, talking regularly to James Carville, one of the chief architects of his 1992 campaign. Mr. Carville said that he spoke “periodically” with Mr. Clinton and that they remained close friends.
But Carville can go on C(IA)NN and be called an "analyst!"
Mr. Clinton has a special relationship with New Hampshire, and that with his history in the state and his enduring popularity, he can be particularly effective there. Mr. Clinton always had the knack for pumping out the sunshine on dark days. Few were darker than what he faced here, in 1992, during the left-for-dead stage of his first presidential campaign.
Setting N.H. up for the "Comeback Queen," readers?
Against all odds and scandal, Mr. Clinton started attracting big and boisterous crowds. To this day, he waxes nostalgic about an appearance he made that winter in Keene, at which 400 people showed up — 250 more than expected.
Mr. Clinton, during a return to Keene last summer:
“I thought, I might actually win this election.”
Mr. Clinton managed a surprising second-place finish that year in the New Hampshire primary, behind Paul E. Tsongas. He called himself “the Comeback Kid,” the news media ran with it, and the Clinton era began.
Think Hitlery finishing first will be a SURPRISE, readers!
And WILL the MSM "RUN" with it again?
Sixteen years later, Mr. Clinton is back in New Hampshire, in the service of his wife’s hobbled campaign and extending the era.
Skip Rutherford, a longtime friend of the Clintons who worked on the 1992 campaign and is now the dean of the Clinton School of Public Service at the University of Arkansas:
“New Hampshire affords him the opportunity to return to his campaign roots. It reminds him of home, in that he has the chance to engage in that very personal brand of politics, meeting every voter until that last dog dies.”
And that's what the Clinton campaign is doing, voters are doing all right -- DYING!
And their voters are dogs.
But it is more complicated this time than Mr. Clinton being irrepressible, shaking every hand and willing his wife to victory. He is not the candidate this time; instead, he is the statesman-surrogate-spouse, who operates without the crowd-building resources and advance people that a candidate typically has.
Mr. Clinton’s presence is at the heart of the tricky two-step that Mrs. Clinton’s campaign has been trying with mixed success — to convince voters that it is wise to reach into the past to change the future; that these old familiar faces can convincingly sell a “new beginning.”
Yeah, it is "tricky" to BULLSHIT PEOPLE!
From time to time, Mr. Clinton has generated the wrong kind of attention, like when he said in Iowa that he had been against the invasion of Iraq from the beginning, a statement that did not seem to be in line with his public utterances at the time.
Wow. Bill Clinton lied. What a shock.
But for the most part, his presentation is very much consistent with the campaign’s message — that Mrs. Clinton is best equipped to bring change because she has spent her entire career doing so.
Sheryl Crow’s “A Change Would Do You Good” plays over a loudspeaker before Mr. Clinton’s arrival. The song is, in a sense, the consummate Clinton anthem of the early 21st century, just as Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop” was to the late 20th century. It is a throwback song, originating in the 1990s, that pounds home the refrain of “change,” over and over.
Fuck MEMORY LANE, assholes!
This is BRAINWASHING, readers!
Politicians, none more so than Mr. Clinton, say they reap energy from big crowds.
The former president was buoyed briefly, when finally drew a big one — over 1,000 at a high school Saturday in Amherst:
“There’s more than twice as many people here as we thought would be here. And that’s a good sign.”
Wonder if they were BUSSED IN from OUT-of-STATE!
"At Clinton's headquarters in downtown Manchester, where phone bank volunteers are urged to "dial like a champion," officials are accommodating 1,000 additional volunteers from out of the state, including bus loads from Worcester, Boston and Springfield, and a plane load from Arkansas. This weekend, the campaign hopes to knock on 100,000 doors, more than a quarter of the campaign total."
Now why would the Globe censor that?
One of the more striking episodes of Mr. Clinton’s return to New Hampshire occurred Friday at the end of his appearance at the University of New Hampshire. A woman voiced frustration to him about the “game” of candidates attacking each other.
Carrie Sheridan of Guilford, Conn., paraphrasing a line from Mr. Obama, whom she said she would likely support:
“Why not just change the game?”
Mr. Clinton replied that in a survey of talk radio hosts, he and Mrs. Clinton scored one and two on a list of figures who are “most vilified” — even higher, he noted, than Saddam Hussein, adding that they were vilified during their eight years in the White House:
“No one would like it better to end the vilification than me and Hillary.”
For GOOD REASON:
First WTC attack
Waco
Oklahoma City (about 16 minutes in, run time 30 mins)
The line scored scattered applause. But it also served as a reminder, fairly or not, of all the bitterness that the Clintons came to represent in the 1990s.
Mr. Clinton can be, to be sure, effective and persuasive.
Rick Lamontagne of Durham: “I was leaning towards John Edwards, but after hearing the president, I’d say I’m undecided again. One thing I’m certain of, I wish Bill were running again.”
I don't.
And don't vote for Edwards, vote for RON PAUL!
The coverage continues inside the Times as well, where the propagandists tell us how things are going to be fixed in the Granite State primary (same folks who CONTINUE to PUSH LIES about Iraq?)
"Not So Fast, Clinton Says About Obama Momentum" by JEFF ZELENY and PATRICK HEALY
DERRY, N.H. — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday sought to slow the momentum of Senator Barack Obama heading into the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday by pointedly challenging his voting record and the assertion that he is the only candidate who would bring about change.
Mrs. Clinton said, urging voters to take a second look at the race:
“You campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose. We need a president who knows how to govern, who will bring us together as a country to find common ground, but who also knows how to stand our ground.”
Yeah, and it AIN'T YOU!!!!!!!
The fresh criticism, an abrupt change for the Clinton campaign, came as polls here suggested Mr. Obama had received a significant boost from his victory in the Iowa caucuses last week and now enjoyed a comfortable lead here. Advisers to Mrs. Clinton were privately looking ahead to the next Democratic contest with delegates at stake, the Nevada caucuses on Jan. 19, in hopes of revitalizing her candidacy.
Already conceding defeat, Clintonistas?
As Mr. Obama drew standing ovations in crowded gymnasiums and theaters across southern New Hampshire, he barely acknowledged the criticism. Yet he derided Mrs. Clinton for suggesting during a televised debate on Saturday evening that his candidacy was rooted in a false hope.
Mr. Obama declared: “What kind of agenda is that? False hope? There’s something going on out there. Something’s stirring in the wind.”
Two polls released Sunday, aides to Mr. Obama said, explained his burst of confidence and unwillingness to engage Mrs. Clinton or John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator who vowed Sunday to remain in the race through the Democratic convention. A poll conducted by CNN/WMUR-TV here showed that Mr. Obama had a 10-point lead over Mrs. Clinton, while a USA/Today Gallup poll showed that his lead had grown to 13 percentage points.
As the candidates went head-to-head on the campaign trail, they traded even sharper criticism in mailings, on radio and with telephone calls. Aides to Mr. Obama accused Mrs. Clinton’s campaign of crossing the line with a mailed brochure that criticized his record on abortion rights, while the Clinton campaign charged that the Obama campaign had violated state law by placing automated calls to people on the federal do-not-call registry.
The Clinton's are SHIT-SLIME!
Mrs. Clinton, asked by a reporter on Sunday if the New Hampshire primary was a must-win for her, suggested that a poor performance here would lead to more retooling of her operation:
“I don’t think about it that way. [But] if a campaign doesn’t evolve, it’s dead.”
She also seemed to challenge a reporter who asserted that Mr. Obama’s candidacy was a singular phenomenon that would be difficult for her to beat.
Mrs. Clinton, with some sarcasm, indicating that she saw him as a fellow politician:
“I think Senator Obama has four pollsters, if I’m not mistaken.”
What HYPOCRITICAL SCUM SHE IS!!!!
She did not spare President Bush in her remarks, either.
Mrs. Clinton, in Hampton on Sunday night, ribbed Mr. Bush for saying he had looked into the soul of President Vladimir V. Putin:
“I could have told him Putin was a K.G.B. agent. He has no soul.”
This political game of FOOLEYS STINKS to HIGH-HEAVEN, readers.
What SHIT!
One day after declaring that Mr. Obama had failed to gain the traditional bounce from securing a victory in the Iowa caucuses, Mrs. Clinton presented a newly aggressive posture as the new polls were released on Sunday. While advisers said it was one that she has wanted for days, the campaign had been struggling for the right words and tone.
Mrs. Clinton, as her campaign in Iowa was sputtering last week, said on a telephone conference call with her advisers, according to two of them:
“We’ve got to show a lot more fight.”
But on caucus night Thursday, and during the next two days, some of her advisers were arguing about the best ways to show a fighting spirit — and ended up muddling through 48 hours before New Hampshire’s primary on Tuesday. Some pleaded to put a negative commercial against Mr. Obama on the air, but senior campaign officials judged there was not enough time for it to have impact. Leaflets criticizing Mr. Obama were mailed instead.
At a rally in Nashua on Sunday, where Mrs. Clinton spoke to a crowd that was about the same size as Mr. Obama’s one day earlier in the same school gymnasium, she raised questions about his voting record on Iraq.
Oh, she is a FUCKING SHAMELESS PIECE of SHIT!!!!
How fucking dare this arrogant bitch?
Mrs. Clinton, to a roaring audience:
“If you gave a speech, and a very good speech, against the war in Iraq in 2002, and then by 2004 you’re saying you’re not sure how you would have voted, and then by 2005, 6 and 7 you vote for $300 billion for the war you said you were against, that’s not change!”
That is just OUTRAGEOUSLY GALLING ARROGANCE, readers!!
Never mind THIS WITCH GIVING BUSH EVERYTHING HE WANTS -- including on Iran!!!!!!
What a PIECE OF SHIT HILLARY CLINTON IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a PIECE of SHIT!!!!!!!!
This criticism, as well as other contrasts of his voting record, came after days of discussions within her campaign about the best way to take on Mr. Obama.
On Thursday night, several Clinton advisers asserted the strategy going forward would be “bombs away” on Mr. Obama. That did not happen, advisers said, because they concluded they had stronger hopes in New Hampshire by employing a positive message, more outreach to young people and sharper contrasts with Mr. Obama.
On Sunday, Mr. Edwards sought to interject himself into the fight and angrily challenged Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, which he said “doesn’t seem to have a conscience.” He was responding to a comment from a Clinton campaign spokesman, Jay Carson, who suggested Mr. Edwards was trying to exploit emotional stories to enhance his bid.
Mr. Carson’s comment was in reference to a town meeting Mr. Edwards held in Manchester earlier Sunday afternoon, featuring an appearance by the parents of Nataline Sarkisyan, a 17-year-old leukemia patient who died in December after her insurance company denied her a liver transplant. Mr. Edwards had recently incorporated the story into his stump speech as a criticism of insurance companies.
Mr. Edwards: “Somehow, everything is about them. I mean, it’s an indication that they have no conscience about what’s at stake here. These families are who this is about.”
That's the INFAMOUS CLINTON CONCEIT, ladies and gentleman!
What ASSHOLES THEY!
The compressed schedule between the contests in Iowa and New Hampshire contributed to the intense candidate exchanges. Yet despite the fresh defensive posture from Mrs. Clinton and the sustained optimism by Mr. Obama, there were several signs that the contest remained fluid.
At each of his stops, Mr. Obama asked how many voters were undecided, and hundreds of people raised their hands.
Aurora Hinchey, 53, who attended an Obama rally even as she wore a “Nurses for Hillary” pin on her coat lapel:
“This is New Hampshire. It can be totally different here.”
Which is why Hitlery WINS tomorrow night!
Not like any of those undecideds would go for Ron Paul or anything, right?
And in a rewrite from the web version(?):
"As Primary Day Looms, Republican Rivals Go After One Another" by MICHAEL LUO and DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Mitt Romney's campaign also sought on Sunday to portray the swipes John McCain took at Mr. Romney as unnecessarily personal in nature, distributing a quote from the Fox News commentator Brit Hume in which Mr. Hume said he thought Mr. McCain had come across as "scornful" and "even petty."
Perhaps aware of that possibility, Mr. McCain insisted on the NBC program "Meet the Press" that he bore no personal animosity toward Mr. Romney, saying he was a "good man," though he added that he did not know him well.
So McCain is just an ASSHOLE then?
A look at him damn Mitt with false praise and a qualifier!
As for MTP, I wouldn't know what happened because I no longer watch those programs.
Just another heartbreak, as I used to excitedly look forward to the Sunday morning talk shows.
No more. Now I don't even watch MSM TV.
A CNN/WMUR poll released Sunday showed Mr. McCain holding a narrow lead over Mr. Romney, with Mike Huckabee, the underdog victor in Iowa, a relatively distant third.
Pfffft!
I no longer believe in MSM polls, or those who report them!!!!
See Globe articles below for the exposure of another New York Times lie!
Asked on Fox News if he had formed an alliance with Mr. McCain to take down their mutual rival, Mr. Huckabee said he was not "conspiring" with Mr. McCain, but he acknowledged a certain "brotherhood."
Yeah, the only conspiracy, ever, was Arabs from a cave on 9/11!
Hucking for VP, Buck?
Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who has slipped in polls here after vacillating over how hard to compete in New Hampshire, kept a light schedule on Sunday, attending a crowded house party in Hollis and then accepting an endorsement from the New England Police Benevolent Association in Nashua."
Reader, what polls are the lying NYT looking at?!
Not this one!
Mr. Romney, challenged by the Fox News commentator Chris Wallace about raising fees while governor of Massachusetts, Mr. Romney seized the opportunity to attack Mr. McCain for voting against President Bush’s tax cuts.
Mr. McCain shot back that he had spent years crusading against wasteful Congressional earmarks:
“Ask Jack Abramoff, who’s in prison today, a guy who was a corrupt lobbyist and his friends, if I haven’t cut spending. I think it was the reason why I wasn’t elected Miss Congeniality in the United States Senate.”
No, ask Abramoff what Mohammad Atta was doing on his casino boat LESS than a WEEK before 9/11?
Mr. McCain appeared to try to stay above the fray, perhaps in reaction to his performance at Saturday’s debate, when he appeared to relish pelting Mr. Romney with sarcasm.
Mr. McCain, trying to lighten the mood at points, jokingly demanded a recount of Fred D. Thompson’s narrow third-place victory over him at the Iowa caucuses last week:
“I think there are some hanging chads."
What an ASSHOLE!!!!!!
STOLEN ELECTIONS are NOTHING TO JOKE ABOUT -- unless you are the "winner!"
When the subject of Mr. Romney’s advertisements attacking Mr. Huckabee in Iowa and Mr. McCain in New Hampshire was raised, Mr. Huckabee joked that the martial arts expert Chuck Norris, who has been a constant presence at his side on the trail, was waiting outside."
Wanna know what Chuck thinks he adds to the Buckahee campaign, readers.
"Mr. Norris can at times seem like a distracting relic of Mr. Huckabee’s “nothing to lose” days. In Concord on Friday, Mr. Huckabee addressed a packed news conference to introduce his new campaign chairman, Ed Rollins, the longtime Republican operative. Mr. Norris stood silently off to the side, and it was unclear why he was there at all, except to sign autographs for a few reporters afterward.
When asked what he felt he added to the Huckabee campaign, Mr. Norris said simply, “Nothing,” before posing for a few more pictures and leaving."
Yet the MSM keeps throwing the "celebrities" in there.
As long as it is not an antiwar, trouble-making celeb like Rosie O'Donnell, right, shit MSM?
And the theme continues in its little sister paper, the Boston Globe:
"A whirl of words in the N.H. homestretch; Clinton sharpens aim at two rivals" by Scott Helman, Globe Staff | January 7, 2008
NASHUA - Tracking polls continue to show Clinton and Obama battling for first, though he appears to have the momentum after winning Thursday's Iowa caucuses, where she finished third behind Edwards. A CNN/WMUR poll, released last evening and conducted Saturday and early yesterday, gave Obama a 39 percent to 29 percent lead over Clinton, with Edwards at 16 percent. That represented a 6-percentage-point jump for Obama and a 4-percentage-point drop for Clinton from a day earlier. Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico was fourth with 7 percent.
And Hitlery said Obama didn't get the boost! LIAR!!!!!!!!!
Clinton's boisterous Nashua rally yesterday was in the same gym where Obama spoke the day before. An impressive-looking column of supporters extended from the high school before Clinton's event. But once everyone was inside, Obama's event appeared to have been bigger. Obama's campaign counted about 3,500 at its rally, and Clinton's campaign said 3,000 came to hers.
Karyn O'Neil, a 43-year-old banker from Manchester who came to see Obama yesterday, said Obama clinched her vote when he made his speech in a joint appearance last month with Oprah Winfrey:
"He made me cry, he moved me. I had been leaning towards Hillary, and I said to my husband, 'Hillary has never made me cry.' "
Talk about hucking shit!
It's the reverse for me -- the murderous, baby-killing Clinton's made me cry over the dead toddlers at Oklahoma City (about 16 minutes in, run time 30 mins)!!
Clinton and her campaign yesterday sought to highlight aspects of Obama's and Edwards's records that they said contradicted their messages.
Clinton, speaking of Obama:
"If you gave a speech, and a very good speech, against the war in Iraq in 2002, and then by 2004 you're saying you're not sure how you would have voted, and by 2005, 2006, 2007 you vote for $300 billion for the war you said you were against, that's not change."
That is just OUTRAGEOUSLY GALLING ARROGANCE, readers!!
Never mind THIS WITCH GIVING BUSH EVERYTHING HE WANTS -- including on Iran!!!!!!
What a PIECE OF SHIT HILLARY CLINTON IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a PIECE of SHIT!!!!!!!!
Didn't YOU VOTE for the MONEY, too, shit-eating Bilderberg Queeny?
The two campaigns sparred further over Iraq, an issue that has not been at the forefront in recent weeks.
Yeah, thanks to the SHIT MSM!!!!!!!!!!!
Clinton, who voted in 2002 for the Senate resolution authorizing the invasion, told supporters in Nashua:
"After 9/11, I never would have taken the United States to war in Iraq, I would've stayed focused on Afghanistan, because the real threat was coming from there."
Oh, man, what a BALD- , SHIT-FACED LIAR SHE IS!!!!!
Then WHY DID YOU GIVE BUSH AUTHORITY, you SHITTY LITTLE SCUM-SUCK SLUT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama spokesman Bill Burton responded in a statement:
"[She's trying to] rewrite history. It's hard to believe she didn't know what would happen after she voted for a resolution with the title 'A Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq.' "
Edwards spoke to a standing-room-only crowd at an appearance in Manchester in an emotional appearance. Edwards introduced as supporters the family of a California teenager who died last month after the family's health insurance company initially refused to pay for her liver transplant. The insurance company agreed to fund the treatment shortly before she died.
Hilda Sarkisyan, mother of 17-year-old Nataline Sarkisyan, tearfully said:
"I feel empty inside. My heart is a hole. They cannot tell us who's going to live and who's going to die."
The Edwards campaign said the Sarkisyans had contacted the senator, and offered to come campaign with him. After Clinton, during Saturday night's debate, linked the Sarkisyans' case with Edwards's failure as a senator to get a patients' bill of rights bill signed into law, Edwards said Clinton's campaign "doesn't seem to have a conscience."
Edwards also launched a round-the-clock, 36-hour tour across the state leading up to tomorrow's vote and unveiled a new 60-second TV spot that will begin airing today.
Even though he said he won't win?
"Edwards, campaigning in Lebanon, effectively conceded he would not win New Hampshire."
Now the Republicans:
"Romney and foes tangle over taxes" by Michael Kranish, Globe Staff | January 7, 2008
MANCHESTER, N.H. - After a day of campaigning, the Republican candidates held their second debate in two nights.
Earlier yesterday, Mitt Romney appeared in Nashua in front of a sign that summed up his latest campaign theme, "Washington Is Broken." He extolled his record as governor of Massachusetts, boasting that he had improved everything from healthcare to education.
Romney's "Ask Mitt Anything" session at a Nashua high school attracted one of the largest crowds of his campaign, with more than 400 people squeezing into the cafeteria, but many of the questioners said they came from out of state.
John McCain said yesterday that both experience and a hunger for change are important qualities for a candidate, and he predicted that he would win tomorrow.
Then he's in on the fix, huh?
The McCain campaign is battling with Democrat Barack Obama for support from independents, who can vote in either primary in New Hampshire. If large numbers of New Hampshire independents throw their support behind Obama, who is also enjoying a surge in the wake of his decisive win in the Iowa caucuses on Thursday, McCain could be hurt. In 2000, he won the state's primary overwhelmingly among independents and more narrowly among registered Republicans.
And none of them will go to Ron Paul, despite that...
"In New Hampshire, true independents tend to have a libertarian streak, a penchant for mavericks, and a distaste for politicians who avoid answering questions."
McCain, when asked at a press conference in Salem about competing with Obama for support among independents, urged voters to consider the difference:
"He's a liberal Democrat and I'm a conservative Republican."
And they are both bought off by AIPAC!
Mike Huckabee, meanwhile, suggested he will temporarily be allied with McCain in New Hampshire against Romney.
Huckabee, on Fox News Sunday, referring to Romney's ads about Huckabee's record on taxes and pardons:
"We have both been brutally assaulted by Governor Romney with amazingly misleading ads that attacked and distorted and misrepresented our record. Romney attacking me in Iowa, attacking [McCain] in New Hampshire; I do think it's kind of created a brotherhood here. I would not deny that, but it's because we both have been the recipients of millions of dollars, millions of dollars worth of negative ads."
Reporters just watching TV? I could do that.
In fact, I am!
What do you think you are reading?
Rudy Giuliani had another light day of campaigning, with two stops in advance of a second night of debating his GOP rivals. At a morning house party in Hollis, an affluent bedroom community outside Nashua, Giuliani continued to emphasize national security issues - building up the military, staying on offense against terrorists, and expanding both the size and role of NATO as a peacekeeper.
I'm tired of his fucking war-mongering!
Giuliani also defended his unconventional campaign strategy of focusing less attention on early states and more on later-voting states where his moderate social views could make him more competitive:
"My candidacy is an unconventional candidacy. I mean, from the day I started, I was the candidate that couldn't get nominated. The Republican Party wouldn't nominate me. I don't know how often I read those stories a year ago. The fact that we are where we are has already defied all conventional wisdom."
Yeah, it's been a great success so far!
No way a "New Yawk liberal mayor" should win the Republican nomination -- unlesss it's RIGGED!
Giuliani, in response to a Romney remark that Giuliani no longer seems a "powerhouse," retorted:
"Look, Mitt has his own struggle. In these elections, they go up and down. . . . Hey, our strategy may not work. We'll see. His strategy may not work. We'll see. But that's what this is all about. We believe our strategy will work."
Thompson, who has run only a marginal campaign in New Hampshire, planned to leave the state after last night's GOP debate and head to South Carolina to launch a 11-day bus tour through the Palmetto State that will take him through the Republican primary there on Jan. 19.
I guess that's as close to a TOWEL-THROW as you can get, huh, readers?
A tracking poll released yesterday by WMUR and CNN found that McCain was ahead of Romney by 32 percent to 26 percent, followed by Huckabee at 14 percent, Giuliani at 11 percent, Representative Ron Paul of Texas at 10 percent, and Thompson and Representative Duncan Hunter of California each at 1 percent.
Yeah, Ron Paul is still fifth, huh?
Not according to the poll I saw:
"McCain 31%
Romney 26%
Ron Paul 14%
Huckabee 11%
Giuliani 8%
Thompson 5%"
Despite those poll results, Fox News refused to admit Paul to the debate but did invite Thompson. The decision to exclude Paul and Hunter prompted New Hampshire's Republican Party to drop its association with the debate."
And THAT'S the mention Ron Paul gets?
THAT'S IT?!
CASE CLOSED on AmeriKa's SHIT MSM, readers!
"Taxes, spending dominate GOP debate; Rivals challenge one another's economic records" by Michael Levenson, Globe Staff | January 7, 2008
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. - Mitt Romney argued with John McCain and Mike Huckabee last night over taxes and who can bring change to Washington in the final Republican presidential debate before tomorrow's New Hampshire primary.
I didn't watch it!
Fox News Channel excluded Texas Congressman Ron Paul from the debate, which prompted the New Hampshire Republican Party to drop its cosponsorship of the forum."
That's why!
McCain pointed to his record of cutting so-called pork-barrel spending:
"I have a record of saving billions for the American taxpayers."
Yeah, except for the S & L BAILOUT, Keating 5 member McCain!!!!!!!!
What an asshole liar he is!!!!
So let me say it one more time (with slight revision):
Here's what the results will look like on Tuesday:
1st -- McCain (36%)
2nd -- Romney (21%)
3rd -- Giuliani (17%)
4th -- Huckabee (11%)
5th -- Paul (8%)
6th -- Thompson (3%)
The spin will be the re-emerging darling of New Hampshire John McCain; the flagging Romney campaign; Rudy's surprise repositioning (credited to advertisements and debate performance); Huckabee's historic and expected fade here (which will dry up what little money and press he's getting); Paul and Thompson will either be also-rans, or asked if they are dropping out.
Leaving the top-tier with Mccain, Ghouliani, and Romney, with Mitt out next.
Serves the AIPAC controllers quite well then!
At what point does a business man count the cost, readers?
Losing venture?
As for the DemocraPs, I've already written about New Hampshire making Hitlery the "Comeback Queen." Now what bullshit numbers can the MSM sell AmeriKa?
1st -- Clinton (41%)
2nd -- Obama (36%)
3rd -- Edwards (16%)
4th -- Richardson (4%)
Heard it here first, folks!
I'm unhappy and angry, readers, and if this DISHONEST and RIGGED SYSTEM continues to insult and ignore us, well, I won't be violent, but plenty of others aren't going to take this shit much longer!
Time for an AMERICAN R3VOLUTION!!!!!!!!
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King [George] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."
