Obama Goes After Olivia Nutter

We all remember when Mayor Michael Nutter endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton (well before actually being sworn in for mayor, if memory serves). Did he do it because Obama endorsed Chaka Fattah for mayor? Lesser blogs speculated that to be the reason but really, who cares? Nutter is all prObama now.

But Obama isn’t done with the Mayor of Philadelphia: he’s going after Olivia. Clout has a short blurb about how an Obama supporter handed Nutter a pin and asked him to give it to his daughter. The button said, “If I was 18, I’d vote for Obama-Biden.”

Just like in the campaign, though, poor Christian was forgotten. Unlike Olivia, he can legally vote. He’s just not as adorable.

Alan Keyes Campaigns In Hazleton

PW’s Alli Katz notes that everyone’s favorite presidential candidate, “Cowboy” Alan Keyes, is in Hazleton today to announce his presidential bid, even though he’s already said he’s running for president. But he’s formally doing it in the city where the mayor hates illegal immigrants, just to show what a compassionate Christian he is.

Because third party candidates really have a shot at running the country, Keyes has left the Republican party and is now in the Constitution Party. What’s Alan Keyes going to do as president? Oh, I dunno, declare a war on pornography.

I’m fond of reminding people that the meaning of the word “pornography” in its Greek root, pornos graphein, means to describe the harlot’s work, to describe the business of the harlot.

He’s fond of reminding people the root of pornography comes from the Greek for prostitution. A hit at parties! He is definitely getting my vote this November. There’s a live video stream on his website; his speech is apparently at 8:30 tonight. Out late on a school night!
