Ok. I need a link to this one. Considering he lived a significant portion of his life in Hawaii (his grandmother still lives there if I remember correcty), this is hard to believe.Date: 6/3/2008 1:14:47 PM

I'd have voted for Hillary over Obama any day of the week.
Any man who doesn't know how many states are in the US doesn't deserve to be President.
*eta, he said there were 59 states and hadn't yet been to Alaska or Hawaii but had one yet to visit.. WHAT?

How did Barack come up with 59 states? He''s probably including territories and commonwealths, so let''s take a look at the count:
50 states, that''s pretty obvious...
Nations under Compacts of Free Association: Marshall Islands (51), Federated States of Micronesia (52), Palau (53).
Unincorporated, organized territories: Guam (54), United States Virgin Islands (55).
Commonwealths, another form of unincorporated and organized territory: Northern Mariana Islands (56), Puerto Rico (57)
American Samoa (5 is unorganized, but has a constitution and self-government, making it functionally very similar to an organized territory.
Ok, 58.. hmm, what are we forgetting...
Oh yeah, Washington D.C. (59)
So, 59 is the total!
I figured I''d change it up today, being that a lot of super delegates will be endorsing and with the two primaries tonight...Lots o'' shiz to hit the fan. And it''s already changed once today!Date: 6/3/2008 4:09:05 PM

C''mon SD Lady! It was worth a shot in the dark, wasn''t it?tee!
Honest to pete, I dont care for ANY of the candidates, I find them all lacking courage, strength, respect and patriotism for this country. Its very sad to me. So in the end it will be who is the lesser of all the evils?
I for one, am not willing to hand over my life to someone who doesn''t believe in what this country was founded upon.
Comment: And that simply underscores why the de facto religious litmus test for office being applied by the vast majority of US citizens, in direct opposition to what is stated clearly in the constitution, is such a dreadful thing. I never thought I''d see a political race turn into a theological pissing match, but the last few got it rolling, and this one is just an embarrassing farce.Date: 6/3/2008 4:26:36 PM

He said he disagreed with his pastor''s views when he gave the race speech and when asked about it in interviews.
I have my beliefs on what this country was founded upon and I''m relieved we have matured into a more accepting and tolerant country. Notice I said ''more'' not ''a.''Date: 6/3/2008 5:30:19 PM

My favorite quote from the DNC hearing
''My momma taught me to play by the rules and respect those rules. My mother taught me, and I''m sure your mother taught you, that when you decide to change the rules, middle of the game, end of the game, that is referred to as cheating.''''
-- Donna Brazile to former Michigan Gov. Jim Blanchard, who was making the case for the Clinton campaign to get 73 delegates out of Michigan with 55 for uncommitted.
