When will Hillary call it quits?
By Rob Tornoe
Is the end near?
Here is today's lead from the New York Times. I think it says it all:
With Senator Barack Obama crossing the threshold of delegates he needed to claim the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday evening, party leaders began to move on Wednesday to bring their lengthy primary battle to a close and unite the party, even as questions swirled about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s next move.
Here's the sketch:

Quote of the Day

"I'm not sure that many Americans relate to the Obamas or even can relate to John McCain's life story. I wasn't shot down. I wasn't held prisoner of war for five 1⁄2 years. I didn't go through that transformational experience. ...
"So when she talks about balancing a career and raising five kids, tens of thousands of New Hampshire family's nod their heads up and down."

Disgusting
Like Fergus Cullen, Rob Tornoe's concept of humor is simply disgusting.
This is actually Hillary
This is actually Hillary Clintons sense of humor or shall I say history. She is disgusting.
Just tasteless
In my work as an Emergency Department Nurse and in my past as a Paramedic we often use "Gallows Humor" as a way of relieving stress.
It is not uncommon for me to find humor in some unlikely places. This cartoon is not one of them.
I find this tasteless and offensive and a cartoon of this nature has no place in a legitimate political website such as this. It is a sad day for politicker when a cartoon like this is posted.
I urge you to be more tactful next time.
shameful, really
The GOP has never been known for a sense of humor - look at what happened to Dennis Miller's career once he went over to the dark side. Republican and comedian don't work in the same sentence. It's quite pathetic that the GOP is reduced lately to trying to make jokes about assassinations. Fergus Cullen, Huckabee, now this guy - it's shameful.
I realize that the GOP is firmly stuck in a 1952 mentality, and that there is no intelligent, workable agenda for the party. Perhaps trying to fix that would be more productive than hoping Democrats will die.
Jeff Ballard
Jeff Ballard is a naive leftwing extremist with no experience in politics or the business world who calls himself a "moderate". His hidden plan to raise our taxes, and his radical environmental agenda will ruin NH.
Jeff Ballard supports Obama who favors racial preferences that discriminate against Asians & whites, higher energy prices, higher taxes on social security and income for the MIDDLE CLASS (not just the wealthy), opposes the border fence to decrease illegal immigration, does not think its a problem that so many immigrants can't speak English but believes the real problem is that not enough Americans are fluent in Spanish. The most we can expect if Jeff and Obama get elected is a government subsidized tire pressure gauge, which Obama said would do more to bring down energy prices than drilling for more oil and natural gas.
Evidently, Jeff Ballard does not have the judgment to represent the people of NH.
Jeff Ballard??
Why won't Jeff Ballard tell us where he stands on the issues listed in the previous comment on this page? Could it be that he supports these wacky positions, but does not want the mainstream voters in his district to know about it?
