NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The King is voting for Sen. Hillary Clinton. Well at least one anyway.
Elvis Presley impersonator Dwayne Turner, who calls himself “Belvis the Black Elvis,” greeted Clinton at a campaign stop to declare his support, and sing for her too.
“Whoa, that’s some suit,” Clinton said when he arrived, clad in a white bell-bottom jumpsuit with matching cape.
Turner offered Clinton a personalized rendition of Presley’s hit “Blue Suede Shoes.”
“Well, it’s one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go Hillary go,” he sang.
Turner said as a voter, he would be true to Clinton, who was first lady of Arkansas when her husband Bill Clinton served as governor.
“This is Clinton country,” he said . “When we realize what they did for us in this state, we got to support them. This is home. People need to understand where their loyalty is. You can’t jump ship,” he said.

You can jump ship if the captain is corrupt, dishonest and refuses to release records of her experience. Think carefully King, you only have one shot to select the person who won’t try to divide the Democrats and the country.

Be careful what you ask for, the Rezko bomb may bite Obama in the azz, and sooner than you think. Talk about dishonest and manipulating. Read the Chicago Sun-Times for yourself..and that’s his home town paper.
- Posted by StormJFK was a serial philanderer. LBJ perpetuated the Vietnam war. Nixon was a criminal. Carter - a model of incompetency. Reagan, of flat wages/soaring national debt/iran contra/S&L fiascos. George Senior - king of recession from the house of Saudi. Then, Democrats, you had Bill Clinton. Open up your intellects. Nothing in life is perfect. Nothing. It was such a search of yours and the well-meaning media - for perfection - that made you go for Nader and doomed Al Gore. Don’t join the republicans in destroying the best presidential years we had in recent history. Don’t help republicans destroy a genuine democratic legacy. If you must turn the page on Clintons, fine. Don’t demean and destroy them. They are your own - and they were GOOD. Hillary Clinton was destroyed because she wanted to get you Universal Health Care. Yes, her method was flawed but look where her heart was. Let us be kinder. Don’t vote for them but give the benefit of doubt to one who was deemed blacker than black by Toni Morrison herself. Don’t so easily believe that he suddenly turned racist. Don’t become the rabid, hating extremists right wingers are. You can build nothing on it.
- Posted by VishUh-oh The Republican attack machine is rearing its ugly head starting with Charlotte. Let’s see how far slinging warrant-less charges get you this time. I dont think Republicans will get away with voter fraud this year.
