Obama wins because it shows he does not pander to JJ and JJ wins because he is in the news again, and that is where he likes to be. As far as the outrage over the "the nuts" comment...so what..that is just how men talk when they think it is private. Much ado about very little.

What bump? JJ has been openly critical of Obama on several occasions (Jena 6 etc). JJ supports Obama , but like everyone..there is no candidate that is anyone's ideal. Is a critical comment from JJ such a big deal--most likely Cat is correct and if JJ does not approve of all that Obama does--who cares.

You know those core conservative values that you don't have....

Crow...too funny...kind of gross analogy, though.
I like it that there is open discussion and even public figures that support a candidate should be challenging the candidate they support.It opens dialogue and exposed issues--this is all good.
As I said I am no fan of JJ, but he has every right , just like each of us to express his opinion. In this case--he probably won Obama some votes.
