General Politics

I just sent off an email to the Barack campaign and asked if they really want Hillary a heart beat away from the presidency after what she said about RFK. The Clinton's worry me. The whole "do anything to win" attitude is disturbing in this context. Not to mention she brings Bill along with her and can you see him sitting back? Just yesterday he was complaining about Barack and how he has others do his dirty work for him. No Hillary VIP please! That's not change. And her approval ratings stink.

I'm off to the rally! Tally Ho! I guess I'll drive. :chagrin:

Good Luck with that OT :eyeroll:

I know. I might just park at United Hospital and pap whatever it costs. At least I know they're open all night.

Edit: OMG, what a typo! Pay, Pay! I guess it was the medical connotation. :sheepish:

I'd like to see the look on Hillary's face tonight when Obama declares victory.

AP is reporting that Obama has 2128 delegates now. Thats 10 more than he needs.

AP: Obama clinches nomination

I think I just saw Jake at the xcel center behind Amy Klobachar on MSNBC at the Obama rally.

Not sure it was him, but sure looked like him.

I'm home and had a wonderful time! Had to leave my umbrella under a tree outside the building because they don't allow umbrellas. ?? Found it still there when I came out. I ended up parking in the lot across the street and had no trouble getting out. Glad I drove.

Anyway, Barack was great, the crowd was pumped and Michelle looked beautiful!

I think he should get John Edwards to run for VP...

or Ross Perot.

 :sillygrin:

Many older white women said they'd jump ship and vote for MaCain if Hillary wasn't on the ticket. It may not be the 18 million votes she received but it's a big enough portion to seriously consider it.

Well, everyone knows that older white women are just plain nuts and delusional. Oh, wait! :pbpt:

Well if they'd just replace their red lights with those new fangled white ones they'd probably be thinking better. :sheepish:

What?? And give up all hope? :cool:

Ha! Which house is yours OT?

That must be Amsterdam. :smile:

More like Janesville :wink:

BAWAWAWAAAA!

Well, my mother always told me it's a valuable cranberry shade fixture and it is not to be sold with the house, so I guess it travels with me. So I'm stuck with it. :smile: The original is in the basement if/when this old house is sold.

I did take a lot of teasing about it when I was a teenager though.

Whoa - I've never been privy to the original in the basement. I can't imagine the wonders that go on down there. :wink: :goofy:

It's a scary place, that basement. Almost as scary as the attic. My parents never threw out anything. There's a complete set of every Life magazine from when they first published in 1936 or so until they stopped being a weekly in the 70's? I keep waiting for the ceiling to fall on me while I'm sleeping.

I looked it up. 1936 - 1972. I know the first issue is a week in October, so let's say the last was October also and that adds up to 1,872 magazines. :ooh:

They're all in pretty good shape except for an issue from June of 1961 that we used pictures from for one of our high school reunion booklets.

what kind of mood are you in today!!!! take the hillary mood quiz!!! LOL

feel of them looks like there may have been a cigar mixed in to the play or a wrong way road if you get what I mean!! lol :coolfrown: :coolfrown: we at the secret Service Dont like your kind of jokes about her!!! grrrrr :coolfrown: :coolfrown:

Here's my prediction right now:


Obama - 293

McCain - 245

That's way more red than I would expect. It all depends on his running mate at this point.

-- Sen. Hillary Clinton will officially end her campaign for the presidency by the end of the week, multiple sources tell CNN

This is considered to be a CNN Breaking News event? Huh

and endorse Obama.

She's still kicking and screaming till then.

Pretty pathetic that the 1st black nominated by a major party ever and she won't even acknowledge he won, let alone endorse him.

but I guess it's all about Hillary still...

how did you create this map? it's a good idea to document predictions that way as the race goes on.

Here ya go Tim :wink:

I'll take it!

http://www.opinionjournal.com/ecc/calculator.htm

Create the map there, then take a screenshot and use a program like paint to crop it so only the map is in the picture. Then upload it to photobucket.

here we go. I went through it pretty quick but here's my first prediction...

you guys know, that I havent conceded, right?

Im still running...

infact.... I issued a public challenge (I yelled out my window, just a few minutes ago!) to both of the SUPPOSED "front runners", for a series - of what we in the business like to call - "town-hall" style Q & A sessions....

the first of which would be at the Lake Phalen amphitheater....

Neither one has responded....

heh

I'd like to create a map but I don't know how to do a screen shot. :neutral:

hit the "print screen" button on the top righthand side of your keyboard (usually above "insert" and to the right of "f12" then open up microsoft paint and paste it in then use the cropping tool to cut out just your map and copy it then open a new paint document and paste that finally save the picture of just your map and then upload it to photobucket.

You can save it to your desktop and then upload it directly here instead of photobucket. Just save as a JPG file instead of a BMP (paint) file

Ohhhh! There's a "print screen" button on my computer! I feel a little sheepish. :sheepish:

Thanks! I'll see if I can get this done. I have a great map! :grin:

Are you talking about when you right click on the picture? I don't get the option to save it when I do that.

I'll walk you through it with egrams if you want.

Ok, nothing happens when I hit "Print Screen" so I'll try your desktop thing. Thanks.

still there OT? Get my egram?

Yes. :frown: I don't know all this fancy stuff.

Thats why I'll walk you through it. You can do it if someone explains how.

It will be a challenge, that's for sure!

Can you give instructions for doing a print screen, saved to desktop, please?

When I hit printscreen, I'm not sure how to tell it to save to the desktop, because nothing seems to "happen" when I hit print screen.

If you post it, I'll bookmark the post so I can refer back to it next time.

Thanks, in advance, mikey!

Thanks for trying to help, but there's nothing there when I finally found the paint thing. It was a great map though!

Yea. When you "print Screen" it copies the screen into "memory" and it seems like nothing happened, but it did copy it.

Next- Click "start' Then "Programs" then "accessories" then click on "paint" to open paint,

After paint is open click on "edit' (in paint program) and then click "paste".

The screenshot will appear in the program.

Then use the "crop" tool to select only part of the screenshot. To select this tool look for the square in the left part of the screen in paint and click on it. Then click where you want to select in your screen shot and drag the mouse to select the area you want.
