Hillary on O'Reilly tonight at 8PM ET. (Wright "offensive and outrageous")

[Wretched Excess]

I think this should be worth (a) a heads-up to everyone to watch it, and (b) a live broadcast thread, complete with drinking words.   she must be really carving Baroque Obama up something fierce; just the taping is generating new alerts from ABCnews.com.

O'Reilly is such a self hype machine.

O'Reilly is such a self hype machine. :whatever: :-)

Yeah, but he's pretty funny. I get his humor but I have to admit it took some time and is an acquired taste.

I liked him much more before he hit it big, and every sentence that came out of his mouth wasn't somehow about him.  not that I dislike him, mind you.  he is just a little shameless when it comes to self promotion.

That's where the money is.  Almost all the big names do the same.

I would do it about me, but I don't think I can get the money I deserve for being me.

I didn't say that I didn't understand it, I just said that I wasn't overly fond of it. 

oh, and this populist kick that he has been flirting with off and on for about a year is a little odd . . . "I'm just watching out for the folks", is how I think he likes to put it.

Long-time fan of BOR here, but he's getting more condescending with age - I really don't want or need him to look out for me.

But I still find him funny in a weird way - thanks for the heads-up about this interview, it ought to be a real hoot - two big egos in one small room.

she is going to kiss his butt because he is big down south, and she needs NC.  he is going to kiss her butt to impress his buddies in the MSM.

there's just gonna be a whole lotta butt suckin' goin' on.

You are probably right, it'll be a degree of how obseqious she can actually get - I've heard that some polls have her tied in NC - if that's true, she'll end up being the nominee.

I think she is within striking distance.  she just needs to break his teleprompter, and he is sure to step on his crank again. 

[Wretched Excess]

LOL!  I think I just heard on britt that the interview will be "part one" tonight.  we shoulda guessed bill would have drug it out as much as he could.

[Wretched Excess]

did anyone catch the 8PM broadcast?  how did she come off?  I decided to catch the 11PM rebroadcast;  I
had conflict at 8 with the Dodgers game, and unless we are actually bombing someone, the Dodgers are
going to win that decision every time.

Poll of polls: Obama losing ground
Posted: 06:05 PM ET
Obama now leads Clinton by 1 point nationally.
Obama now leads Clinton by 1 point nationally.

(CNN) — The Democratic presidential race is tightening nationally, according to a new CNN average of several recent polls.

Obama's lead is now down to 1 point over Clinton nationwide, 45 percent to 44 percent, in CNN's "poll of polls." That margin is down 3 points from another CNN poll of polls conducted two days ago. In that analysis, Obama led Clinton 47 percent to 43 percent. The margin is also considerably lower than an April 18 poll of polls that showed Obama with an 11 point lead.

The poll of polls consists of three newly released national polls from Fox News/Opinion Dynamics, Gallup, and Newsweek. There is no margin of error on the poll of polls.

Both the Fox News poll and the Gallup poll were conducted partially after Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, made a fresh round of controversial comments earlier this week.

The Fox News poll also appears to show Obama no longer has an edge over Clinton among independent voters. In head-to-head match ups, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain wins independents by a 4 point margin over Clinton (42-38 percent) and by a 10 points over Obama (47 percent to 37 percent).

it's fairly amazing how quickly this has turned qround on him.  the MSM is talking about his candidacy being "in deep trouble", which is the step just before "disarray", which happens just before you die.

[Lauri]

yep, and I do believe i was one of a handful of people here saying this Wright thing was not going away.. although, i have to admit that im suprised it has gotten to this point.

but then, i was suprised the Dean scream sunk Dean

[Wretched Excess]

yeah, but our prediction about FL and MI won't get off the back burner.

the night of the dean scream, I was doing something else while I was listening to his speech on the TV in the background, and I swear, for a second, I thought the man had been shot, or had a cardiac, or something.

[Lauri]

i think i saw/heard the scream so often after it happened, that i cant honestly say what my initial reaction was. but i did know the media blew it way out of bounds.

but you do have to wonder how far back the Clintons had their hand in things in order to sink the other Dems for the past eight years in order to give Hilary this shot? Dean was just cruising along, making money hand over fist on the net.. its just so odd to me that one small thing should tank him.

now, this Rev Wright thing is way beyond a scream; this dude is scary and Obama's relationships are scary. I was just telling a friend that i think Hilary is getting tired of dinking around with Obama and wants him kneecapped right now. Cause this is her last shot - she wont get another one.

but obama certainly will..

I do think that the clintons sent wes clark into the primaries to draw the anti-war vote away from dean, just to keep hillary viable for 2008.  but no one made that man scream.   it was said that it seemed perfectly appropriate in the hall that the rally was being held in, but TV made it seem semi-raving mad.

[Wretched Excess]

no blood on the floor so far . . .  she seems, um, much more human in this interview than I expected.  but then I expected mecha-hillary.

[Lauri]

ok, im watching the repeat... holy shit! 39 percent tax increase on us??? anybody over a certain amount is going to be taxed at 39%...


she is insane..

bill's talking about himself again.  it's in a sort of a hypothetical way, but he is talking about himself.

[Lauri]

ok, yeah.. i agree about Bill being a bit of a jerk .. "Im a RICH GUY!!"

we see you hawking your books and your baseball caps and t shirts, Bill.. we assume you and Hilary are rich.

knock it off already.. 

[Wretched Excess]

I disagree with every syllable that is coming out of her mouth, but I must admit that she is coming off well.

yeah, i heard the scream was lifted out of the crowd noise and amplified a bit to make him seem nutty.. but he was excited, and he was running away with the whole thing. having kerry be 'their guy' was so odd. the guy was just too effiminate and stupid. and a liar.

i dont put anything past the Clinton's.. but i dont want to get my tin foil out just yet.

[Wretched Excess]

"you're like I am", says bill.  it's all about him.

she says that SHE is the uniter and the one who reaches across party lines.
