Bourbon Politics: Clinton Campaigns at Makers Mark
done
LORETTO, KY – Kentucky loves its horses and its college basketball – and judging by the number of distilleries we drove through on the way to Hillary Clinton’s first campaign event on a four-day tour of the state, it loves its bourbon.
Senator Clinton toured the oldest such distillery in Loretto today, where Makers Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is produced. She even got to dip a bottle into the company’s trademark red wax to seal it tight – though she admitted she got a little sloppy.
“I think they’re going to give me the bottle because it dripped some,” she told the crowd gathered for a picnic outside. “So I think that I get to take that one home, which is not a hardship, you’ve got to admit.”
“There’s some benefits to running for president, every so often,” she joked.
In the spirit of the place, she even worked some boozy references into her energy plan. “Think of what you could do if we got back to just putting alcohol into the gas tank,” she said. “The model T Ford got better gas mileage than the SUV does today, and it ran on ethanol. You know what it ran on, it ran on moonshine.”
As the crowd whooped and applauded, Clinton continued “it had more power and went further and had more kick than what we see in our cars today. It may be back to the future. I think Kentucky can play a leading role in that, getting us organized for those biofuel futures.”

You go Hillary!!!! Its time you challenge McCain and Obama to a debate!!! Show them the Hillary we all know and love!!!
Oh but then again…Obama may cry again!!!
I REALLLY THINK IT IS SAD THAT WE DID NOT SEE THIS COMING THE CAUCAS STATES WERE NOT FAIR THE REAL PEOPLE DID NOT GET THEIR VOTE IN AND NO ONE TOLD US FLORIDAIANS OUR VOTE WOULD NOT COUNT ITS REALLY TOO MUCH . AND IF THE DEMS PARTY ARE CALLING IT FOR OBAMA I WILL BE A REPUBLICan in november.we know john mccain we do not knopw this stranger obama.
Go to larry sinclairs website and you will get an idea of who Obama is!!
GO HILLARY. YOU ARE TEACHING THE CHILDREN OF TOMORROW A VALUABLE LESSON - WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, YOU NEVER QUIT! STAND STRONG! YOU HAVE OVER 17 MILLION PEOPLE STANDING BESIDE YOU!
I think we have an idea what obama is…a snob…anti American….
but christian…….with a messed up wife….coward. I hope he doesn’t see this, he might cry racism.
KEEP GOING HILLARY - SAVE OUR COUNTRY FROM BUSH AND OBAMA!
KEEP FIGHTING HILLARY MILLIONS SUPPORT & VOTE FOR YOU
obama is NOT QUALIFIED - he will neve be elected with his WEAK questionable background.
Vote Hillary KY!! - obama has not even been there - should at least go and ask for a vote or two - yet another state that does not count!
Across the USA, we see that most republicans are good, honest, caring people who have a true and valid philosophical difference with us on the left, which I respect very much. But then, there are the “Rush Limbaugh’s” of the party. It’s you who ruined the party and the United States reputation and global standing. Your blind ignorance to your religion created this horrendous situation in which we find ourselves.
We’re in the 21st century people. God n’ guns just don’t cut it anymore. You are living in the past century. The era of the “whacko-right” was, and forever will be, an embarrassing stain in American History. Your time is over. The GOP needs to re-invent itself. Even the majority of republicans are saying this. That’s why we Dems are taking all your long held conservative seats nationwide and why we will take complete control of Washington in January 2009. Disagree all you want… I know it, you know it, gasp your last breath do your worst and then sit-back and watch us show you how to run a nation in these times, under these conditions.
hmmmmmmmmmmm……… it looks like someone has a drinking problem(aka hillawitch) good riddens.
Hillary is my role model she stands up for what she believes and for the American women. Millions and millions of your supporters will fight with you til the end. We ove you!

Obama’s historical ignorance proves Bush’s point
Peggy Shapiro
Reeling from his inference of an accusation of being an appeaser to terrorists, Barack Obama lashed out against President Bush and John McCain.
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/05/obamas_historical_ignorance_pr.html
______
I think American History should be a prerequisite to running for President…How many states are in America??? 57 lol..
There is great post by someone call “Yevo Lem” on the electoral stats that is really worth looking at …wish he/she can do the same in this blog
Popular vote as of May 17, 2008
These figures INCLUDE Florida and Michigan, as they were fairly and legitimately earned by Senator Hillary Clinton, and have been validated by the respective Secretary’s of State.
Obama 16,680,827
Clinton 16,710,298
Total Diff. +29,471 (Clinton)
Pct. Diff. +0.08% (Clinton)
So, why SHOULD Hillary quit NOW?
Who do you think will be leading after next Tuesday?
Hint - See below:
Combined population of Oregon, Montana and South Dakota = 5,173,438
Combined population of Kentucky and Puerto Rico = 8,086,459
Which Democratic candidate is more electable?
Consider this:
This is how the Electoral College stands as of April 23, 2008, showing strengths of Clinton vs. Obama, based on their results. For those who have not understood, this is not a head-to-head matchup, but rather a side-by-side comparison.
This assumes a winner-take-all primary/caucus vote takes all Electoral votes for each state. The totals immediately below are WITHOUT any consideration of the states of Florida and Michigan.
Clinton 261
Obama 181
But with Florida and Michigan:
Clinton 305
Obama 181
Assuming the following victories, based on current polls, with Clinton winning Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Obama winning North Carolina, South Dakota, Oregon (which is doubtful), and Montana, the totals would then be, still without Florida and Michigan:
Clinton 285
Obama 209
Even with a victory for Obama in Indiana, the totals would be, still without Florida and Michigan:
Clinton 274
Obama 220
Please note that it takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the General Election.
Whether or not the vote turns out as indicated, I firmly believe the above analysis more than amply demonstrates which of the Democratic candidates is in a better position to be the stronger candidate in the General Election.
P.S. - One last thought about this Electoral College Vote analysis; in it I gave Senator Obama full credit for the state caucuses he won. However, it should be noted that there are not any caucuses to be won in the Big Leagues during the General Election. There are only PRIMARIES, WINNER-TAKE-ALL.
And I am sure the “Super Delegates” are aware of that.
oh lord you guys are loosers backing a looser candidate that wont admit defeat but than again thats what loosers do. Although i think hillary is finally starting to come to her senses you guys should do the same.
GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems that Barky Obama knows it too. He’s hired 400 new bloggers to “sway” us women that they and their fellow sexist pig, misogynist Barry Obama, is good for us. They hope to “bamboozle” us. “Hoodwink” us. God, I wonder how many of these guys’ wives actually stayed with them.
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
MADAME PRESIEDENT
WE ARE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY
we love you
we will stay with you
only hillary can solve the problems we r facing
go hillaryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I tell you what. My wife is mad as heck and she has an army worth of women right with her.
Obama was sure stupid to piss off women. Makes me think he knows more about MEN????

MARCOS NJ 2 NC,

Hillary Supporters…. Google WomenCount Pac and go to their website. This is a Women’s Movement started May 14, 2008
To: POLITICAL EDITORS

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The newly formed WomenCount PAC strongly denounces the endorsement of Barack Obama by NARAL Pro-Choice America, joining mounting opposition to the move from Emily’s List, a long list of woman Members of Congress, and other longtime supporters of NARAL.
“The idea that NARAL would create a divisive and potentially permanent rift in the pro-Choice movement is a shortsighted, irresponsible rush to judgment,” says Allida Black, a founding member of WomenCount PAC and editor of The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers at George Washington University. “Using this important issue in such an irresponsible way can only be interpreted as blatant pandering.”
WomenCount views the endorsement as disrespectful not only to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s lifelong commitment to protecting women’s reproductive rights but also to the millions of women around the country who are supporters of both NARAL and Sen. Clinton.
Susie Tompkins Buell, a longtime supporter of NARAL Pro-Choice and a founding member of WomenCount added, “What this tells me is the disconnect between NARAL’s political advisors, its Board, and its Leadership from the very women they are sworn to protect. This is an egregious violation of the tenets of respect and neutrality that had been carefully observed during this historic campaign for the White House.”
WomenCount was created to ensure that the 51 percent of American citizens who are women have their values and votes counted in the political process and supports candidates in support of progressive, political values.

Patty NJ,
I tracked your so-called 400 bloggers hired by Obama to play nice. This was originally reported on the Hillary website then democraticunderground got a hold of it. There is no emphatic truth because there is no source to prove or disapprove this.
Barry, I enjoy arguing with Obamabots!!! Especially the paid bloggers!!!
(May 17, 2008): “Who Wants to be the Next Millionaire?” (NQ) - search for Michelle’s video!
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05…t-millionaire/
Quote:
Here’s the news short and sweet–if you have a copy of the Michelle Obama video, in which she is lambasting white people (four different sources say she uses “whitey” as an epithet) at Jeremiah Wright’s church, then there is an ultra conservative Republican billionaire who wants to pay your $1 million dollars for the tape. Why? He hates John McCain. Conservative Republicans refer to John McCain as a Marxist and a sell out (and those are the nice comments). The billionaire in question believes Barack is a very weak candidate and, if he gets the Democratic nod, then McCain will surely be President. Especially after the October “surprise” of Michelle Obama railing against whitey. The billionaire wants to preempt McCain and Rove and has put the word out thru conservative networks that there is a $1 million dollar bounty for the person or persons who produce the tape.
I got this info courtesy of a major Republican operative. I am told that Karl Rove and his political allies control the tape where Michelle Obama has a Stokely Carmichael moment of sorts. Rove and company reportedly are showing the tape to big money Republicans to loosen up their wallets and get new money to fund independent expenditure groups. That’s why news of this is starting to leak out. The money is being raised for 527 groups that will target the Democrats in the fall.
A retired CIA buddy is friends with a lawyer who saw the tape. This lawyer, who has a stellar reputation for being very low-key, described the video clip of Michelle’s anti-white rant as, “stunning.” My guess is that the billionaire who detests John McCain is probably going to find someone who will comes up with the tape. So there you have it, someone is looking for “Whitey.” If they find it they get a pay day. If not, you will have to wait till October to watch
Democrats will see 1980 or 1984 all over again with obama as their nomminee!
Cathrine lao…..You and marc are the proof moron!!!
ARE WE BITTER
WELL
NO MORE THAN MRS OBAMA AND PASTOR WRIGHT
What are you people gonna do when they announce Hillary as the nominee???? LMFAOROTFF!!!!!
Hillary is way ahead of Obama on the electorial votes!!!! These votes are the one they count on in the end!!! Why do you think Hillary is staying in????
BJ man!!! I wish I could get my hands on that tape!!! That would be sooooooooooooooooooooo
SSSSWWWEEEEEETTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!
HEY
I THINK
THOSE TROLL RAN AWAY
LETS CHASE THEM IN OTHER FOX BLOGS
LETS BUG THIER SHI*T*T OUT
Why are there still undecided superdelegates? Remember all the delegates may switch up until the final vote in Denver!
marc aka catherine lao knows that we are on to him or her? Lol
YOU HILLAWITCH SUPPORTERS ARE A LOST CASE, I’M MOVING ON JUST LIKE MR HYBRID AND IM GOING AFTER MCINSANE.
MARCOS NJ2 NC - You sound like someone who sucks snot out of a dead man nose . NO NEED TO GO FOR McCAIN HE WILL HAVE HILLARY BACKERS BEHIND HIM AND ALL THE REPUBLICANS. SO LONG DEMOCRAT PARTY. COLOR THEM BLACK.
Some supers are elected officials. some are old party hacks. the elected ones have made deals with Ob for a spot in his admin. Some are being more cautious to see the mood of the land by convention. They don’t want to be accused of flip flopping or what ever. Some, like Edwards, think their endorsement will get votes for OB.
The party was ganged up agaisnt Hillary from day one. Even at a debate when Edw. & Hillary were going back and forth, Edws went over and whispered to Ob to “get in it man”.
The Dem. elite establishment don’t like the Clintons. Resent Bill for losing the congress and blame Bill for Gores and Kerrys lose. Notice they always blame some one else.
A lot of national polls will be taken thru the summer.
Hey Marco I have family in Chicago. They tell me the only real friends Mr. Obama has there are all being brought up on coruption charges. Even the past governor. None of my family members will ever vote for him. From his very first election till now they have all been tainted. This one too. Doesn’t that tell you anything about the man? Have you read his books? Just what are your reason for following this unqualified inexperienced hand picked puppet anyway? He owes so many favors you will never know who is pulling the strings. One thing is for sure he’s not smart enough to think for himself. Even his famed pastor Wright says he will say what ever it takes to get elected. Now you have to believe a pastor don’t you? As a wise old man told me once to become truely wise takes time. Ther are no shortcuts. Mr. Obama needs a lot of time. He has even said he has trouble with math. Really I couldn’t have guessed. Just do the right thing and back Hillary. Any one who has fought as hard as she has against a stacked deck and still is in the race. If you don’t respect that then your beyond help.
Seeing as how marc and catherine are on 24/7 they must have several people using the same 2 names. Either that or they have no life.
Some of us follow them around and expose them and they run away. or they change names.
mr J
we all appreciate the you have an opinion, but its your sole opinion.
let the majority ring it in novemeber than you can sing and dance,
but for now no need to get hysterical.
dont be a sore loser and vote just because my candidate didn’t win.
all my life it doesnt matter what costume you wear, its where you stand that counts.
i could vote republican locally or democratically nationally. its who i agree with the issues that affect me.i just dont follow any one just to follow.
issues, live with it, we are all americans in the end.
vote obama 08
the obama bloggers are pretty funny….Do you know how to reconize a paid obama blogger??? They are kinda nice to you!!

Yooo, Yell at Marc…he is trying to get me in trouble again!!!
Marc…You shouldnt do that to your own…But it was a good one!! I will have to tell it!!
I will NOT vote for Obama after having him shoved down my throat by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) & the biased Mainstream Media (MSM) I have already resigned from the Democratic party. NOTHING they can say or do to win me back. I am Independant now. I will vote for, campaign for and raise funds for John McCain if Obama is the nominee. And you can call me all the names you want, does not change a thing. There are literally 1,000’s of us that WILL NOT vote for Barack
Obama. I just laugh evry time I hear that buffoon of a man, Howrd Dean talking about how we will “get behind the nominee” for the GE. Dream on Howard. You and Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the bunch ae going to lose to a Republican AGAIN and this time, it’s your very own constituency that’s going to see to it that you lose. I am sick of cries of ‘racism’. What about sexism? I guess that’s okay. Feel free to rant on me or call me names. As I said, will not change a thing.
Yeah well Obama is used to shoving himself down certain peoples throats!!!
Wyoming Dem
thanks for your opinion today. we appreciate that.
thus the majority will tell in november.
no one one will shove it down your throat its you and your vote in the booth remember that.
live with it.
it’s really W clinton
Hillary, you are my hero. These ridiculous undemocratic caucuses are depriving America amd the world of one of the greatest politicians we have had in the past 20 years. Keep fighting. We are behind you all the way. If you are not the nominee, I will NOT vote for Obama.
try writing my name the same as me…not all capitol letters Marc!!!
ADUH!!!!
OBAMA
IS LOOSERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
LOSERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Are we all in full agreement that hillary should not be vice-president?
——————————————————————————–
I hate the idea of hillary having to be obamas 2nd in command, especially after everything the dnc has done to her, the media has done to her, and the obama campaign has done to her.
Her joining his team, would be like a harvard student joining a south side gang.. just doesn’t work and is an insult to her, her supporters, and the all-mighty karma.
Obama has gotten so many freebies, free passes, and do-overs, that eventually karma will come back to him..
The whole left wing of the dnc is in need of an awakening and I don’t want poor hillary having to sit there with them not being able to open her mouth or have obama take all the credit for everything she brings to the table.
He steals all her plans now, imagine if she was vice president!
Just the idea makes me want to puke and I will never let that happen. Even if she becomes the vp, I would still vote mccain just to save her from the tyrants in the dnc.

Bitter…there is noway Hillary would ever be 2nd to anyone!!! She knows that she will be the nom!! I dont know what she knows but she def knows something that we dont… I get the feeling that we will soon find out!!!
Bitter…that doesnt work!!!
ARE WE BITTER*****
or have obama take all the credit for everything she brings to the table.
He steals all her plans now, imagine if she was vice president!
******************************************************************************
Question is what really matters to you, Do you want all her good ideas to happen for the good of the country, Or do you want them to happen only if she’s the one in charge and the one implementing them.
Okay, okay I have a confession to make. I’m an angry, bitter “in the closet” less*bian and you’re right, I am racist. It’s just that you liberals want to confuse the issues with facts, not rhetoric and irrelevant fluff and it’s annoying me!
I’ll shut my mouth now until I am able to get beyond my angry woman stage and able to have discussion based on some form of reality. I’ve had a bit too much to drink today. Please forgive my ignorance and stupidity. NOW, I am going to shut my gob.
