Nevada Health Care Forum: Clinton and Dodd

Shorter Hillary: YOU CAN TELL I CARE ABOUT HEALTH CARE BECAUSE I AM SHOUTING ALL THE TIME.

She is in favor of universal health care (now) and thinks it could take as little as… eight years to get there. She did this weird thing where she walked around during the question time rather than sit and talk like a normal person. (Though now Kucinich is doing it, too. Uhm…) Also, apparently people are “drowning in paper,” which sounds unpleasant.

She’s more concrete than Obama but eerily LOUD.

Shorter Dodd: I am actually Ernest Borgnine.

Actually, he was good. He did a no-tie thing, which looked fine but sort of whispered “I spent some time at the tables last night.” He also apparently started the “children’s caucus” in Congress, which is exactly what ruined Mark Foley. Now, that’s a joke, but he was actually serious about something else: he is old, and yet he continues to reproduce. “I’m the only candidate who gets mail from both the AARP and the diaper service.”

Uhm, not mutually exclusive needs?

Sorry. He seems engaged and serious.

While others are at rest or at play, Paul’s supporters are on the Internet, googling his name and diving into the comments sections of news articles to register their opinions.

    Bashing Bain: Why Obama’s New Attacks on Romney Might Not Work

    The much-heralded and long-awaited Obama campaign media attack on Mitt Romney began Monday with a reporter conference call and the release of two videos bemoaning the pain caused after Romney’s former private equity firm, Bain Capital, took over a Missouri steel company called GST Steel. The effort is textbook negative politics, from the sympathetic white working class steel men bemoaning their lost careers to the talk about “values” and the shots of lonely industrial wastelands left by the collective failure of Romney, Bain and GST.
