Wow! It's the PumaSphere!
How about this:
A woman’s place is in the house
(The White House)
I’m trying to do a 3am sleep shirt. It was my friend, Anna Shane’s idea. Lot’s of fluffy, sleepy anime animals in front, with “It’s 3am” in a circle logo atop, back says “Hillary’s for Me”. The only problem is I don’t know how to draw anime.
“working”
” class”
both fonts…perfect!
double entendre: perfect.
I think I would remove jobs you…it is too much info for a slam dunk image and what you read first..
dotcom: The jobs you came along for the ride. Maybe Brook can touch it up with her tablet.
Another
gun ownin’,
Bible-clutchin’
Democrat for
Hillary!
Yesterday I was shopping at one of the department stores and saw a door hanger that said “A woman’s place is in the house, and Senate, and Oval Office”. I bought it and it is hanging on my front door now.
My neighbor has been supporting Hillary from the beginning (I joined up after John Edwards left the race). She loves it and is going to get herself one as well. We could have a building full of Hillary supporters soon.
Off topic:
This is interesting. A JEM Research poll of JUST Northwest Indiana (Lake, which includes the city of Gary, IN + Porter Counties) has:
Clinton: 46
Obama: 33
Undecided: 19
Remember, this poll is JUST for Northwest Indiana and it has a lot of undecideds. I’m still of the opinion that she just needs to pull even or lose slightly in Northwest Indiana (same with Indianapolis) and win in the rest of the state.
http://www.nwi.com/articles/2008/05/04/news/top_news/doc0735ff226a18cb1a8625743e007fb115.txt
From the article, it said 19% were undecided, but adding it up it looks like there is 21% undecided. Is my math wrong? 2% could have chosen Other in this poll but the article does not specify.
Also, from the article, among the undecided:
29% leaning towards Clinton
12% leaning towards Obama
55% totally undecided.
75% polled were from Lake County and 25% were from Porter County.
Tuesday, Hurry Up!
isn’t Northwest Indiana outside of Chicago? If she is leading there, BO is in trouble. I find this poll hard to believe, but I like it.
Undecideds generally tend to break her way. When it comes right down to it, people want someone with a little more seasoning in the White House. The trend is similar to what I found in NJ and PA. All they need is a little push and this is the thing where Hillary has the edge. Her last minutes ad hit their targets with pinpoint accuracy. The push is deft and subtle and they fall like dominos.
Yes, Northwest Indiana is right by Chicago and is considered to be part of Chicagoland. I’m not believing this poll until election day and we’ll see if it is right or wrong (hopefully right).
The JEM Northwest Indiana poll was conducted April 28-30th, but the newspaper wrote about it today.
” We are probably going to hit 400,000 hits sometime today. Yeah!!”
Well-deserved congratulations!
Actually, I have no experience at all in this matter, but I am inclined to suggest you consider beefing up your moderating of comments staff. Things are not going well for a certain type of people with time on their hands. I could make more arguments, but you catch my drift They can be insidious and disruptive as you well know. Better to have a plan. I don’t want to see a few good people worn to a frazzle when they strike.
Three cheers and congrats again. You are doing truly wonderful useful work here. Keep your health and energy up.
You did it! 400,123!!
No Quarter has a NRCC memo up about their strategy attacking Cazayoux in that LA special election..
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/04/exclusive-nrcc-memo-reveals-gop-plan-to-hit-candidates-whove-endorsed-obama/#more-2389
A commenter says Cazayoux had been ahead 10+ and outspent the GOP opponent 4-1, is this accurate? Hmm..
riverdaughter,
you have a real gift for viscerally nailing this :
“All they need is a little push and this is the thing where Hillary has the edge. Her last minutes ad hit their targets with pinpoint accuracy.
The push is deft and subtle and they fall like dominos”.
gary: they’ve already been here. Some of them have been tossed into spam. The more polite ones are OK. The last thing we want to become is an echo chamber and talk only to ourselves.
I may do this contest RD, just to…!
unrelated but very cool video from Flineo I saw at Taylor Marsh–says a lot of things–ends on Hillary and Alice Palmer…very pro-Hill
