Oops There Goes Another Super Delegate.... (O-Bama)
Obama gains Alaska superdelegate

The Associated Press

Published: May 24th, 2008 07:16 PM

Presidential candidate Barack Obama picked up another superdelegate Saturday at the Democratic state party convention in Alaska.


Former Gov. Tony Knowles said he would support Obama for president.

"He has a message of hope and change," Knowles said. "He has inspired incredible members of new people to believe in politics again."

4. You ever see the HBO movie
The Rat Pack Jake? Ray Liotta playing Frank, Joe Mantegna as Dean, Don Cheadle as Sammy and the guy who played Robert the Bruce in Braveheart as Lawford-they showed them singing that song with re-written lyrics for JFK's campaign. thus, the reference just in case you young 'uns didn't get the correlation

7. I'm young
but I knew it was a JFK theme song.

I love the 1960 race. I have an orginal Kennedy Poster and an original Nixon poster as part of my collection of political stuff.

I also have a pack of Dukakis cigarettes. To think 20 years ago we used to hand out cigarettes with candidates on them :rofl:

8. That was a great movie and I was very skeptical
I didn't think Ray Liotta could pull it off and I'm a big fan of his. BOY was I wrong. After about 20 minutes I believed I was watching Frank himself. Incredible performance. I don't need to say anything about Don Cheadle. Everything he does is incredible, and his performance as Sammy was no exception.
