What Obama Really Said About Lipstick on a Pig

Ad this is what has Republican's undies in a knot, calling him sexist?

Talk about offenders for a word.

And really, how is this different than Sarah Palin's bulldogs with lipstick comment. I've been around both bulldogs and pigs, and I'll take the pig, thank you.

And, may I remind you that women aren't the only ones who wear lipstick. Anyone seen the former mayor of New York lately?

Your Current Delegate Counts After New Hampshire

[Update 2/20/08 1:52 PM: For Up-to-the-minute delegate counts, click here]

Much like the Election Night tally of the Electoral Vote, what actually matters in the primaries is the delegate count.

Current delegate count after New Hampshire:

Democrats (2025 needed to win):
Barack Obama 25
Hillary Clinton 24
John Edwards 18

Republicans(1191 needed):
Mitt Romney 21
Mike Huckabee 14
John McCain 12
Fred Thompson 8
Ron Paul 4
Rudy Giulliani 1
Duncan Hunter 1

I wonder what Mitt and Obama said to each other....

I wish the conversations would have been miked....

Huckabee good for Utah Democrats?

At work, we spend a ton of time worrying about what a Clinton vs Romney matchup would do for Democrats' chances in Utah in November.

We spend some time talking about the effects of the various Democrats on our local ticket. But, we spend almost no time talking about the strengths/weeknesses in Utah of GOP rivals of Fib Romney.

I've often thought that adulterer Rudy 9/11 would be fun for Utah Republicans to try and support.

Ethan Millard, host of KSL's Nightside Project wrote on his blog that he has gotten many calls from Utah Republicans that said they would vote for a Democrat before they voted for the Anti-Mittmon Mike Huckabee.

In the comments section, Tom Grover of KVNU;s For the People say that Cache Valley residents are telling him the same thing.

Funny thing is, I'm hearing the same thing from some of my Republican friends. In fact, one friends said that he'll vote for Obama over any Republican not named Mitt.

It's a good day to be a Democrat in Utah!

New Huckabee Ad

Giuliani's affair funded by NYC taxpayers

It's no secret that Rudy Giuliani's affair would not exactly help him in the race to be the Holier Than Thou Party's nominee.

To Recap:

When he was mayor of New York City, Rudy was sleeping with the woman who is now wife #3 while he was married to wife #2.

Now, it turns out that the taxpayers of New York City were footing the bill.

Oops.

Anyone who is still on the Rudy bandwagon come Friday will never be able to tell me they are fiscally conservative.

Romney 3rd in BYU straw poll

The Flip Romney campaign seems to enjoy trumpeting their "wins" in straw polls, most of which the campaign purchases.

So, I'll reprint a loss in a straw poll at a place that you'd think Mitt would triumph: BYU.

The BYU Democrats held a plastic recycling drive in the Wilk the past week. Each bottle you brought earned you a vote.

The results:

Barack Obama: 61, Joe Biden: 49, Mitt Romney: 40, Hillary Clinton: 37, Undecided/Apathetic: 32, Stephen Colbert/Jon Stewart: 6, Rudy Guiliani: 2, Ron Paul: 2, John Edwards: 1, Mike Huckabee: 1

This balloting was open to everyone who wanted to be wise stewards of the Earth.

Making Up Stories to Wear On Your Lapel

So, there was a big dustup last week about the fact that Barack Obama doesn't wear an American Flag Lapel pin.

Problem is, nobody else does, either.

The Caucus pulled photos from the last Democratic and Republican debates where most of the candidates appeared (before today, of course.)

It turns out that in the last Democratic debate, only 3 candidates eve bothered to wear lapel pins. Kucinich wore his official Congressional pin, Edwards wore a pin from his late son that he always wore, and Richardson wore an unknown pin.

In the Republican Debate, only two Republicans wore lapel pins. Rudy was sporting the American Flag, and Ron Paul sporting the Congressional pin.

Just annother attempt by the media to slam Obama.

-Bob

P.S. Given the number of American Flag and other pins that come from China, maybe we should have them tested for lead paint. I'm just sayin....

Utah Loves Obama (and Romney, too, but I bet you knew that)

(Hat Tip: Saintless)

In obvious news this weekend, a Deseret News poll found that Utah loves Mitt Romney.

The Breakdown:

Romney: 65%
Giuliani: 8%
McCain: 6%
Grandpa Fred: 3%
Ron Paul: 1%

If Mitt wasn't dominating everyone here, he would just as well hang 'em up.

A little more surprising was the numbers from the Democrats:

Obama 42%
Edwards 18%
Hillary 16%

"The Only Thing We Have To Sell Is Fear Itself..."

"If a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001... Never ever again will this country ever be on defense waiting for (terrorists) to attack us if I have anything to say about it. And make no mistake, the Democrats want to put us back on defense!"

-Rudy Giuliani

Oh, and Rudy, I'd love to go back on defense or offense. We're playing Special Teams right now, and our ST isn't doing so well....
