Ever since Hillary Rodham Clinton lost the Democratic nomination, it’s been a white-knuckled, sweating-bullets, minute-by-minute will-he-or-won’t-he-move-to-Obama tick-tock for America’s most respected American whom Americans need to listen to. Now, we finally have our answer: Michael O’Hanlon is voting for Barack.
And let me just say — whew. That was a nailbiter. The idea that the Democrats could win an election without the Sultan of Seriousness, no matter what the polls tell you, is just too hard to believe. This is a man whose words move mountains. Michael O’Hanlon doesn’t need a strip club to make it rain. Pop the champagne, Barack. This is done.

Your snark would make Glenn Greenwald proud. (insert smiley)
O’Hanlon throws bombs and calls everybody against the Iraq occupation “wimps” but he contends that he votes against his 1 issue time-and-time again? What a bizarre and stupid man.
His track record of error does worry me now, though.
Rev Wright is up

CNN reporting guilty on all counts for Sen. Toobz!
I so want Obama to invite Wright and Ayers to his inauguration. Throw in some Louis Farrakhan just for fun.
Why not, Obama will be criticized no matter what he does.
Fuck yeah!
There is no more room on the bandwagon for these people!
Down goes Stevens wooot
Ted Stevens was found guilty on all 7 counts!!!
Woo Hoo!!!!!!
OT. Verdict is in. Senator Ted Stevens guilty on all counts!
Spread the cokes around. *g*
GUILTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Down the Toobz! *g*
We should refrain from celebrating the Stevens verdict on this thread. After all, Michael O’Hanlon is a very serious person and we wouldn’t want to risk offending him and losing his support.
O’Hanlon’s support is critical if Obama is to win.
The judge in the Sen. Toobz case seemed to criticize the prosecution quite a bit (no idea how fair any of that was), so I’m guessing that gives them a lot of reason to appeal?
Not that it matters for the election at least. Bring on Begich!

Confiscate his Hulk tie when you book him.

What does this mean in terms of the election? No republican nominee?
Appeal all he wants.
It aint gonna help him next Tuesday.

I sincerely hope Obama keeps the Ken Adelman’s and the O’Hanlon’s far, far away from his administration. They are toxic and offer nothing but nonsense where thoughtfulness is needed.
Don’t be flattered Barack!
Who the hell cares what O’Scamlan has to say?! He just figures this could be his last 15 minutes in the news…
Who is next.
Cheny?
Rumsfeld?
Rove?
I think it likely that Obama will win even with O’Hanlon’s support and even without mine.
I should point out that according to O’Hanlon’s statement. He really isn’t backing Obama so much as Joe Biden. He’s doing this because he thinks conditions in Iraq are better now (so Obama’s position on withdrawal is less objectionable) and because he thinks that Biden is a bigger hawk.
The big question is what if they re-elect Stevens? What happens?
O’Hanlon ends his endorsement this way:

According the the CNN newscaster Stevens name stays on the ballot no matter what. She also said the only ways out of the Senate are to resign or be expelled. Anyone know if that’s all true?
What really cracks me up is that in Billy “The Wizard” Krystals column today, he went out of his way to say that O’Hanlon was a DEMOCRAT…… LOL
Sorry.
Who’s Michael O’Hanlon???
just when i think i’m alll “informed”!!!
(snark back atcha, Eli)
