I still think he will win the nom, but what I learned is he is as unelectable as any of them are. The only advantage he has so far is mega money. I think that could be why he’ll win the nom. But I also know that even with his massive war chest, voters in the general election aren’t buying the lies and unauthenticity he’s selling. I’m not yet complacent, just cheered! » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 7, 2012 @ 9:14 pm via ThinkProgress: UPDATE: Romney did not just lose Minnesota, he’s going to finish 3rd. With 50% in, he’s trailing Santorum by 30, Paul by 10 » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 7, 2012 @ 8:48 pm Hah! Well, I was always the tallest, but I totally agree. I listened to as much as I could stomach of Santo’s speech tonight, and he actually hit the perfect chord with the Baggers. He told them, “Obama is uppity and thunks we are stupid.” Not those exact words, but close. That’s what the Baggers were all about–the politics of the “disenfranchised” whites who want to feel victimized by elites and minorities. I think they deep down might even know they are inferior–or at least fear that. Santo spoke to them. » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 7, 2012 @ 8:44 pm Hey, Kalima, Mitt can’t even win when he’s running against only one other candidate. And Santorum! Bwahahaha! » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 7, 2012 @ 8:00 pm Well, I’ve been waiting for the perfect drink to go with my Double Down, but I guess I’ll have to wait longer. I demand real bacon in my shake. » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 7, 2012 @ 4:29 pm Not to be outdone by KFC in the race to kill us all, Jack-in-the-Box developed this tasty treat: Jack in the Box Debuts Bacon Milkshake You’ve heard of combining milk and cookies, bacon and eggs. Now you can get three out of four of those items together, in one creamy shake. Still, according to the to the Jack in the Box website, a regular-size 16 ounce bacon shake weighs in at a hefty 773 calories and 40 grams of fat, while a 24 ounce large option packs 1,081 calories and 54 grams of fat, nearly an entire day’s allowance. » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 7, 2012 @ 2:16 pm Oh, the MSM will definitely try! But apparently it’s not working: Over all, Pew said in a report Wednesday that “fewer Americans are closely following news about the presidential campaign than four years ago.” The relative lack of interest in the campaign this year partly explains why television and print news sources declined compared to 2008. The report affirms that cable news — led by the Fox News Channel, which is the No. 1 channel of its kind — is driving the national political conversation, at least among those who care to have the conversation nearly a year before Election Day. » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 7, 2012 @ 1:06 pm AdLib, I really don’t think either of those have any power. Most people–even those of us against Citizens’ United–see that we have to be able to compete with SuperPACs. It’s a meh issue. I also think that the contraceptive issue is a big loser for the Right. As much as people don’t like intrusive government, they don’t like intrusive Big Religion either. Polls seem to bear this out re: contraceptives. HHS did the right thing, and I think it’s actually a winner for Obama. This issue is indeed a wedge issue, but I honestly think this country is ready to have that battle. The RR will lose. » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 7, 2012 @ 12:47 pm Kes, isn’t it awesome?! Oh the victimhood! You know, I just had a thought about Prop 9. This morning I was half listening to Morning Joke and he was railing against the AHA decision about making contraceptives available even if you work for a Catholic institution (other than a place or worship). When it was pointed out that several states already require this, he replied that it was the Federal govt that bothered him; that if state wanted to do this that was their business, but the Federal govt was overreaching. But see, there are some things that are trumped by the Constitution–like Civil Rights. So it is NOT up to the states. That’s the whole point of the Constitution–and something we call the UNION. I realize that the contraception issue could be argued to pit two Constitutional issues against each other: religion and the commerce clause. Obviously, this is beyond my pay scale, but what occurs to me is that “states’ rights” are certainly not the holy grail, as the Right thinks. » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 7, 2012 @ 10:49 am I think they have no choice but to double down on the lies and pour even more money into his campaign. The lies will be even further off the charts–they will get so ugly it will either turn off Indies to BOTH candidates (out of sheer disgust) or energize more of us (Dems and Indies) to vote for the President. This will be the vilest campaign since the 1800’s. Anyway, that’s my take. I wish I could go to sleep and wake up in November! » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 2, 2012 @ 3:54 pm As someone said yesterday, there’s almost too much ammo against him. Where to begin?! But, heh, heh heh heh, that’s a problem I love having!! » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 2, 2012 @ 3:34 pm Holy crap! via ThinkProgress: EXCLUSIVE: Major Romney Bundler Is Agent Of Foreign Government Ignacio E. Sanchez is a lobbyist at DLA Piper, an influential global law firm and a major bundler for the Mitt Romney campaign. A ThinkProgress review of public records reveals Sanchez is also a registered foreign agent representing the interests of the United Arab Emirates and a former president of the Dominican Republic. » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 2, 2012 @ 1:57 pm Help Reverse KomenForTheCure’s Decision About Funding Planned Parenthood. Ways You Can help http://t.co/D9iV6Vo » Posted By Chernynkaya On February 1, 2012 @ 10:53 am Just like the Taliban. No difference in purpose, only in extent. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 31, 2012 @ 8:08 pm Sally, I am enraged! I just posted a link below to Funk. The Twitter petition is the only one I’ve seen but I’m sure there will be another. I’m not on FB, but many people are going to their page voicing their outrage. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 31, 2012 @ 7:53 pm Funk, even with all the other things to be outraged about, this gets me more than anything. This is SO immoral, and such a betrayal of all the people who buy their pink crap. I really want them discredited as a charity. They are condemning women to death, literally. I will work hard to make sure people know who they really are. Here’s some more info: » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 31, 2012 @ 7:51 pm Sorry if this is a repeat but I’m so furious I can’t even read. The Susan G Komen Foundation announced they will stop providing grants to Planned Parenthood–which provides free and low-cost mammograms–because Komen is caving to the RR. Here’s a petition to tell them what you think: » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 31, 2012 @ 3:40 pm Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich do Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First?” (H/T Political Carnival)

» Posted By Chernynkaya On January 28, 2012 @ 3:01 pm Ok, thanks. I guess they can make the parents feel guilty/responsible enough to pay, but I’m pretty sure legally they have no obligation to do so. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 23, 2012 @ 5:14 pm bito, what I don’t understand is, why are her parents responsible (legally anyway) for her bills? She was 29 years old–an adult. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 23, 2012 @ 5:03 pm Per The Borowitz report: In a desperation move, Romney changes his name for the Florida ballot from “Mitt” to “Not.” » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 21, 2012 @ 4:38 pm Two campaigns, one day. This exemplifies just how stark the mood is–to say nothing of the policies–in 2012. » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 19, 2012 @ 9:10 pm Well, it’s bigger! And man, Obama can really sing!! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 19, 2012 @ 8:11 pm YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS–It totally warmed my heart!

I hope it gets traction–there’s still a ton of un-mined information and analysis about this that I’m anxious to see. I believe there are really important implications here, but don’t know enough to say what they are legally. Great job guys!! » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 16, 2012 @ 7:49 amComments Posted By Chernynkaya
It’s the bacon milkshake, and it’s the brainchild of the Jack in the Box fast-food chain.
The shake, taking the concept of fast food and buy one, get one free to a whole new level, gives a meaty element to the normally dairy-laden treat. Sadly for true carnivores, however, it is said to contain only bacon-flavored syrup, not the real thing.
What a big news day: The 9th Circuit Court also ruled Prop 8 (CA’s ban on same sex marriage) UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
While political candidates are not legally required to identify bundlers — volunteer fundraisers who collect bundles of campaign contribution checks for the campaign — a 2007 law requires that federal candidates disclose the names of any registered lobbyists who bundle large amounts for their campaign. On Tuesday, Romney’s campaign reported that 14 lobbyists combined to raise more than $1.6 million last year in bundled contributions.
One of those lobbyist-bundlers was Sanchez, who raked in $86,700 for the former Massachusetts governor. This major fundraising raises questions about the level of access and influence Sanchez — and by extension, his corporate and international clients — would have in a Romney administration.
Unlike the other 13 identified lobbyist-bundlers, Sanchez is a registered foreign agent. A form filed Monday with the U.S. Department of Justice reveals that he beyond just representing the interests of those domestic clients, Sanchez also represents the embassy of the United Arab Emirates and the presidential campaign of Dominican Republic former president Hipolito Mejia.
