Subject: This is why Obama uses a teleprompter
So he doesn't look like a flippin' idiot.
Man, she needed notes scrawled on her hand to answers softballs lobbed at her at a Tea party convention? Pathetic. Obama needed nothing of any kind to systematically pick apart the GOP on their own turf.

I guess I should have expected a defense nearly as pathetic.

Wow. You liberals are really scared of her aren't you. She writes a few key points on the palm of her hand. Really no biggie. As usual, the liberals are grasping_at_straws!At least she didn't set up a teleprompter in a classroom to talk with school kids. What's funny is that when sites like the Huffpo point this out. More people end up hearing her...which is never a bad thing, IMHO!

Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu appears to have routed five major challengers in today's mayoral primary, riding a sense of regret among voters who rejected him four years ago and extraordinary biracial support to claim a rare first-round victory.
With 90 of the city's 366 precincts counted, Landrieu had 64 percent of the vote. His closest challenger, businessman Troy Henry, had 15 percent.
When he takes office May 6, Landrieu will become the city's first white chief executive since his father, Moon Landrieu, left the job in 1978. Early analysis shows that Mitch Landrieu's victory owed to widespread crossover voting by African-Americans, who make up two-thirds of the city's residents.
Because of that disparity, Landrieu predicted recently that his election could be an "uneasy moment" for black residents who still feel politically and economically disenfranchised.
Making his third bid for City Hall's top job, Landrieu picked up enough votes to avoid a runoff that appeared to be a near-certainty just two months ago. So definitive was his win that political pundits declared Landrieu the victor just a half-hour after the polls closed, with the first of his opponents conceding before 9 p.m.
His victory cements the Landrieu clan's status as Louisiana's preeminent political dynasty.
As Landrieu, 49, a four-term state lawmaker from Broadmoor who has served as Louisiana's No. 2 official for six years, prepares to assume what is arguably the most powerful political job in the New Orleans region, his sister, U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, begins her 13th year in the U.S. Senate. Another sister, Madeleine, sits on the Civil District Court bench.
Landrieu's most formidable opponents included management consultant Troy Henry, a first-time candidate who pumped about $500,000 of his own money into his bid, and businessman John Georges, who invested at least $3.4 million from his personal fortune.
Henry, who is black, highlighted his credentials as a top corporate executive, and also sought to play up concerns in the African-American community that white politicians recently have won various local elective offices that had long been held by black officials.
Mayor Ray Nagin, who could not seek re-election because of term limits, pushed a similar message in recent weeks, though he stopped short of making an endorsement in the race.
Georges, who finished third in the 2007 governor race with 14 percent of the vote, campaigned on his business acumen, vowing to run City Hall like the family business he built into a $1 billion enterprise.
Henry, who appears headed for a second-place finish, conceded at around 9:30 p.m.
"I just hung up the phone with Mitch and wished him a great congratulations," he said. "Mitch is going to be a fantastic mayor. I'm going to support him in any way he needs. It's up to us to make New Orleans a great city. I want to make sure I do my part to make sure Mitch is a successful mayor. As he goes, so we go, and so the city goes."
Georges, who appears headed for a third-place finish, conceded before 9 p.m., wishing Landrieu success and urging New Orleanians to come together.
"Today is a great day for New Orleans," Georges said. "The Saints are going to the Super Bowl, and we're going to have a new mayor."
The businessman said he called Landrieu and congratulated him on his primary win. Tomorrow, he said, he would be on his way to Miami to watch the game.Among the other major contenders in the 11-candidate field were fair-housing advocate James Perry, attorney Rob Couhig and former Civil Court Judge Nadine Ramsey. All are Democrats except Couhig, a Republican who also ran four years ago.
Landrieu's win Saturday marks the first time in the city's modern history that a mayoral race not featuring an incumbent was settled in the primary. The current open-primary system, in which the top two finishers regardless of party advance to a runoff, dates to 1975. Before that, party primaries and runoffs preceded a general election, which pitted the party standard-bearers.
Only once since then has a New Orleans mayoral election not produced
a runoff. That was in 1998, when Marc Morial attracted only token
opposition in his quest for a second term.
Landrieu inherits a fits-and-starts recovery, a stubborn crime problem and a fragile city budget that already has been slashed in key areas. He also trades in his high-profile but relatively powerless statewide post, which is largely responsible for tourism.
Who's next?

You're right, it's totally desperate for me to view the Dens winning a Congressional seat that had been in Republican hands for over a century. But you can crow about the GOP's version of Roland Burris. And as urban areas mostly decide Debate outcomes, how do you think Mitch's landslide bodes for his sister's re-election?

You're sounding a bit desperate...holding up a mayoral race from a city that has a strong history of only electing democrats.Now, if you want to call NY-23 a victory. Go for it. As I recall rino, Scozzafozza stepped aside at the last minute and endorsed the democrat who barely won. I can't even remember the democrats name, not that it matters much, they're just keeping the seat warm for a few more months.But if that is the 'victory' you need to cling to...go for it.

From Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report:
Following the logic of Sarah Palin’s defense of Rush Limbaugh, political humorist Stephen Colbert says Palin’s supporters should defend her by calling her a “f — ing retard.” Transcript follows.
Colbert: … It reminds me to give Sarah Palin a big thumbs-up for standing up for the little guy. Rush Limbaugh. Last week, Sarah Palin rightfully demanded the resignation of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel for calling liberal Democrats “f — ing retarded.”
Well, El Rushbo used the R-word himself when talking about liberal Democrats. Jim?
Video from Rush Limbaugh Show dated Feb. 3, 2010
Limbaugh: Our political correct society is acting like a giant insult has taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards. So now there’s going to be a meeting. There’s going to be a retard summit at the White House..
Colbert: But Sarah Palin explains to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday why that’s okay.
Video from Fox News Sunday dated Feb. 7, 2010
Palin: Rush Limbaugh was using satire to bring attention to what this politically correct ..
Wallace: He used the R-word …
Palin: Used in satire … I didn’t hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with “f — ing retards.” And we did know that Rahm Emanuel, it’s been reported, did say that. There’s a big difference there.
Colbert: Thank you. Big difference. It was satire. Listen to Rush Limbaugh talk about the Democrats again.

Limbaugh: Our political correct society is acting like a giant insult has taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards. So now there’s going to be a meeting. There’s going to be a retard summit at the White House..
Colbert: It’s so subtle, see. There’s so many layers. And Sarah Palin knows that it is okay to call someone a retard if, like Rush, you clearly don’t mean it. Which is why we should all come to her defense and say: Sarah Palin is a f–ing retard. Get it? You see? It’s satire.
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - The Fox News Channel, which has already signed Sarah Palin to a deal as an on-air commentator, today deepened their commitment to the former Alaska governor by signing her hand as well.
"We were very impressed with the job her hand did at the Tea Party Convention," Fox News chief Roger Ailes said. "And we said to ourselves, let's give Sarah Palin's hand a job."
Governor Palin's hand was not available to reporters, but it did release an official statement about its new job with Fox News.
"I am thrilled to be joining the Fox News team," Gov. Palin's hand said in the statement. "No one is better at giving Republicans' hand jobs than Fox." More here.
