Fox News--Fair, Balanced and...Lanny Davis???

Lanny Davis, a Democrat who was former special counsel to Democratic President Bill Clinton and who remained a dedicated campaign spokesman for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton even when her cause had become hopeless, has just signed on as a political commentator for Fox News.

There, the Washington lawyer and Democratic insider will join Karl Rove and Mike Huckabee, neither one Democrats, in providing campaign insights on the cable channel that Democrats love to hate and even boycott.

"I consider FOX News to be a network that genuinely tries to be balanced, offering political perspectives from all sides,'' Davis said in a Fox News news release.

No shock that of all the Democratic strategists to pick they chose the slimiest, sheisty guy they could find.

Next they need to pick up that overweight blond woman who Chris Matthews would laugh at on a regular basis.

Sen. Clinton's "cause" had never "become hopeless." Only the pro-Obama biased media saw a "cause" that became "hopeless."

The superdelegates failed in their responsibility to endorse Sen. Clinton as the best qualified and strongest candidate to win the general election in an easy landslide victory. She won the popular vote; she won FL and MI; she is the legitimate Democratic nominee with solutions of real change and a change in direction to put America back on track.

Sen. Clinton's "cause" never became "hopeless"; instead, she was shafted in the fix for Obama. Sen. Clinton and her volunteers put their passion into campaigning but never stood a chance to win the nomination because of the corrupt DNC.

Obama has no legitimacy as the Democratic nominee. He stole the nomination with the Howard Dean MI and FL shenanigans and his surrogate Nancy Pelosi rigged the nomination for Obama. Cult leader Obama is unqualified, inexperienced, immature, and unelectable as a radical left wing liberal.

crat3,

Please keep posting. Delusional Hilary Clinton people always make me laugh.

I just got done responding to crat3 on another story and find another garbage post here.

Crat3 said "Obama has no legitimacy as the Democratic nominee. He stole the nomination with the Howard Dean MI and FL shenanigans and his surrogate Nancy Pelosi rigged the nomination for Obama. Cult leader Obama is unqualified, inexperienced, immature, and unelectable as a radical left wing liberal. "

I will take the legitimacy of my candidate with his majority of the pledged delegates, majority of the overall delegates, and majority of the popular vote if all 50 states are counted any day of the week over a candidate that got fewer elected delegates, fewer total delegates, and fewer votes (even if Fl and Mi were fully counted).

Obama is far more qualified than most presidents were prior to being elected. He has both state legislature and senate experience. More years in elected office than Hillary. More than Bush (I know, doesn't say much). Unlike GW Bush, Clinton, and Reagan (and Hillary or Bill Clinton when he first ran) he has experience at both the state and national level. He has authored more legislation than Hillary (and has a higher success rate than she does) in the senate, and far more if you include his time in the state legislature. He has shown by this primary election that he is electable. He consistently does better in states where the entire electorate can vote which is indicative of his cross party appeal. He is being called a leftist liberal, but only if you believe that investing in this country through spending on infrastructure to make our businesses that keep jobs in this country more competitive, through improved education to improve our workforce and spur new innovation, and through providing access to affordable heathcare in ways that allow costs to be reduced (such as prevention rather than footing the bill for expensive emergency room care for indigent patients) is liberal.

amccoy: You are completely wrong that Obama has authored more bills and has been more sucessful than Hillary in the Senate. At least get your facts straight.

Clinton has been the sole sponsor of a few more bills and resolutions per year – 51, to Obama's 43. And she has steered twice as many through the Senate and almost four times as many into law per year, on average, as Obama has.

This article completely debunks your claim, which is probably based on that ridiculous email that made the rounds for months: http://www.newsweek.com/id/129976
