DEL.ICIO.USHillary Clinton, the ‘evidence-based decision-maker,’ here on May 19
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Days after Barack Obama left many Democrats in Atlanta breathless, we’ve snagged a copy of the e-mail that’s making the rounds, inviting certain people to a “relatively private visit” by Hillary Clinton on Saturday, May 19.
The author says the Democratic presidential candidate “can return our government to evidence-based decision-making. Surprisingly, she is pragmatic, fiscally-responsible and, contrary to lore, middle-of-the-road. She has an excellent chance to win the nomination and very possibly the general election.”
Event planners are asking for contributions of “$2,300 or $1,000.”
Ever since Obama and his 20,000 appeared last Saturday, Clintonites have been burning the phone lines to Atlanta, trying to keep past supporters in line.
The Clinton event, by the way, is scheduled for the same Saturday that the state Republican party holds its annual convention, this time in Gwinnett County. We think it’d make a fine platform for a pragmatic, fiscally responsible middle-of-the-roader.

That’s good for the Clinton people to play down expectations for Hill’s visit. There is no way, no how that she could generate the crowd and enthusiasm I saw at Georgia Tech this past Saturday.
Senator Obama gives hope for the future, that things can and will get better. While Hillary offers more of the same insider negative Washington politics.
I, for one, am sick and tired of this American monarchy we’ve been subjected to since 1988.
It’s time to change things. Barack the Vote!

I personally think the two would make an excellent presidental duo but we know that is not about to happen. But I wish both of them luck and may the best MAN win.

Outside of urban Atlanta and Midtown, these two don’t have a chance. Come on now, do you think the south and midwestern Amercia will go for this? I’m laughing at how cute this is. What’s next? Rosie O’Donnell Secretary of State and Alex Baldwin as Secretary of Defense? You libs just crack me up. Maybe you need to do stand up you’re so funny!

Yep, that’s the Dem’s ticket: “Obama & Mama”.
I reckon the Repoobs might as well go with “Mitt & Twit”.
Oh where oh where have all the good candidates gone?
