SubscribeChelsea’s Dream Date With A Super Delegate
From ABC News:
College Junior Breakfasts With Chelsea Clinton
21-Year-Old Wisconsin Super Delegate Gets Face Time With Former First Daughter
By KAREN TRAVERS
Feb. 11, 2008 — Jason Rae is a typical junior in college.
He spends several hours a day in class at Marquette University in Wisconsin where he is majoring in history and political science. He is closely following the Marquette basketball team and has the Golden Eagles’ schedule memorized.
But not many 21-year-olds start their Monday with a personal breakfast with Chelsea Clinton, as Rae did this morning at the student union at the nearby University of Milwaukee.
Rae got the one-on-one treatment from the former — and possibly future — first daughter because he is a Democratic National Committee member from Wisconsin and thus a “super delegate,” one of the 796 free agents who can back any candidate in the race for the Democratic nomination.
Rae may be a typical college junior but he is certainly not the typical DNC super delegate.
He is only 21 years old — he has never voted in a presidential election because he turned 18 after Election Day in 2004…
Rae said he and Chelsea Clinton talked about electability and mobilizing young people to get involved in politics. He said she spoke about what states her mother can carry in the general election and what demographics favor her candidacy. The two talked about how the campaign’s operations were going in the states and what she is seeing on the ground.
The breakfast lasted about 30 minutes. Rae said he had to hustle back to campus and get to his afternoon classes.
Rae was elected as a DNC member at the Wisconsin state party convention in June 2004. He was 17 years old at the time but there are no party rules that say a DNC member has to be of voting age. Rae ran against and defeated the president of the state firefighters’ union and a state legislator.
Rae has been called on his cell phone by former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright who tried to woo him to the Clinton side and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, who was pushing for Rae to endorse Obama…
Former President Clinton called Rae on his cell phone, Jan. 25, the night before the South Carolina primary.
Rae was about to head out to dinner with friends when his phone rang and the screen said, “Number withheld.” The voice on the other end said: “Please hold for the former president” and then a familiar voice said “Hey Jason, it’s Bill here.”
“I started to think, is this real? I am a junior in college and Bill Clinton is talking to me?” Rae said as he recalled the phone call.
Clinton talked about Hillary Clinton’s electability and gave Rae an update on how things were looking on the ground in South Carolina. He then regaled Rae with stories about his travels to Wisconsin as president and the cities he visited during that time.
Rae received a call from Kerry, Feb. 1, the Friday before the critical Super Tuesday showdown. Kerry, too, talked about electability and also asked Rae about college life in general and even the weather.
Rae said he is getting a steady stream of calls from campaign staff and surrogates, including Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton on behalf of the Clinton campaign.
But Rae said he is focusing on which candidate can win in November.
“Both have good positions, but it’s about who can win,” he said.
Mind you, this is not “pimping.” No way.
Mr. Rae’s Wikipedia entry is also quite hilarious:
Jason Rae
Jason Rae (born November 25, 1986) is a Democratic National Committee notable, from the state of Wisconsin whose vote counts 10,000 times more than average hard-working, blue-collar citizens. Rae is the youngest person ever elected to the DNC, has never voted in a presidential election, and wonders what it would be like to have intercourse with a woman…
While in high school, Rae was appointed to serve as a United States Senate Page…
Though, to be fair, “pimping” in the conventional sense of the word probably doesn’t enter into it.
From the Marquette Tribune:
MUSG recommends partner benefits
Domestic partner benefits and Reserve Fund spending highlighted a jam-packed legislative session for Marquette Student Government Thursday night - the last of College of Business Administration senior Dan Calandriello’s tenure as MUSG president.
Recommendation 12, which passed in a 18-3 vote with three abstentions, calls for the university to offer domestic partner benefits, including health insurance and pension, to partners of administration and staff members who are in “committed homosexual relationships or committed heterosexual relationships for those unmarried.”
Thirteen members of the Gay/Straight Alliance attended the meeting, including GSA President and College of Communication senior Jess Cushion, who spoke before the Senate…
The recommendation became a heated debate when College of Business Administration senator and sophomore Scott Seramur asked the author of the bill, College of Arts & Sciences senator and sophomore Jason Rae, if he believed this would bring more gay faculty members to Marquette who would “impose their homosexuality upon the students.”
Rae said the remark was an “invalid and baseless claim that tends to continue stereotypes of hatred.”
The purpose of the legislation, according to Rae, is to focus on how to make Marquette a better institution academically by providing benefits that will bring well-respected professors to Marquette who may not come otherwise.
“I believe the recommendation fits into Marquette’s motto of cura personalis or, care for the whole person, because cura personalis is about the deep respect for each individual person and the idea of accepting all people,” Rae said…
NTTAWWT.
By the way, here is a clip from MSNBC via YouTube featuring our young bravo:
To think that the President of the republic may be selected by the likes of he.

Chelsea looks like she could have a real mean case of morning breath. I don’t know what to say about )(*&)*(& skippy.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Gad…that twerp looks like he STILL gets his ass kicked for his lunch money!
February 11th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
At anytime during the so called “breakfast” did the first “Ho” disappear under the table for COUPLE OF MINUTES?
Or maybe two seconds?
That boys looks like he is on a hair trigger.

This is serious here! These are the little )*&^(*&(&*^ heads that are changing policy at the local level one small business, college, and town at a time! It’s called diversity training and I had to sit through it for 2 days or else I was never going to see another pay raise. Don’t think for a minute that little glo-worm means it when he says “because cura personalis is about the deep respect for each individual person and the idea of accepting all people,” what he’s trying to say is as long as you see things my creepy little way, everything is going to be fine. He’s Alfred E. Newman on X and maybe good old fashioned angel dust.

S’pose that Chelsea offered him a crack at the goods for his support?
February 11th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
And of course he has to be from Wisconsin. Really, people - we’re all not that pathetic.
There was a young man I went to high school with. Were it not for his privacy, I’d tell you his name because one day - mark my words - he’ll be president. And he’s a conservative. He’s worked in Washington, and on Republican campaigns throughout Wisconsin. A brilliant, outgoing, affable young man. Which gives me hope for this country.
With the understanding, of course, Obama or Clinton don’t ruin it in the next 8 years…
February 12th, 2008 at 12:15 am
Good grief.
DW, you got an extra room to rent out?
February 12th, 2008 at 1:12 am
Judging by the above photo, Chelsea has definitely inherited her mothers knack for stupid facial expressions.
So BJ Clintoon arranged this “date” between his daughter and Master Rae? Sounds a bit like pandering to me. ;o)
Jeez!! WTH is the DNC thinking here, a wet behind the ears kid who just started shaving and they gloriously make him a super-delegate? FDR must be rolling over in his grave and Reagan is probably laughing his ass off.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:57 am
Sounds like Scott Seramur understands what the left is trying to do to this country.
February 12th, 2008 at 8:37 am
And we’re loosing to these clowns?!
February 12th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Oh Lord these comments are hillaryious. You posters are saying everything I’m thinking. Too freaking funny. No, that’s not a typo above either.

Twenty-one years old, never voted before, and a tool to boot. He’s actually perfect for the democrats who find truth and WISDOM counterproductive. This prodigy and his 10,000 votes show there is no limit to liberal absurdity.
February 12th, 2008 at 10:57 am
I thought halloween was over.
February 12th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Notice how he cuts straight to the chase and answers the question. This little dork has a bright future in Democrat politics.
February 12th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
I remember seeing a picture of Chelsea a few years back and she looked almost pretty. But she really is quite homely. She looks too much like her mother — horse teeth and goggle-eyed expressions. And she’s not yet thirty — she will not age well.
Sharps Rifle has the young Mr. Rae pegged — the lad doesn’t even know what he doesn’t know.
February 12th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Poor Jason. He’s barely 21. Already going bald. The personification of geek. And…a Democrap. The Lord gave him a mountain.
Fade to Elvis singing a great old tune…..

I’m just curious, is it normal for a 21 year old to have an entry in Wikipedia? His entry was set up Oct. 2007. It just appears odd. I’m just saying…
SG, are you in Wikipedia?
February 12th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
IMO, what Mr. Rae needs is a few more life experiences. The one I recommend is the trip down to the US military recruiting office. You’ll probably have to fight your way thru the Anti-American demonstrators (but don’t worry, after you tell them you’re one of them, they probably won’t spit on you or anything). Then a few short weeks of training, a quick leave and a kiss or two for your
Mother and you’ll be on your way. Just get off the plane and take an hour or two to get your gear together, and get out where the friends of Sen Rockefeller, Sen Reid, Sen Durbin, Sen Kerry, Rep Pelosi, Rep Murtha (who knows, your mother may even see your picture on TV,with a caption “They killed in cold blood”) are waiting. Once that first IED goes off, or they start shooting at you and your fellow soldiers, and you realize you are being targeted because those Americans have told the enemy that you can not win, IMO, you’ll never again look at a US Democrat political leader or the Americans who support them and believe they are your friend or that they believe the same as you do.
February 12th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
This is just such a target rich environment, I just don’t know what to start with. . .how about - only the Dems could chose such a vapid, shallow person to have such power and control and also chose a wet behind the ears loser to help with Her Election.

“Rae was elected as a DNC member at the Wisconsin state party convention in June 2004. He was 17 years old at the time but there are no party rules that say a DNC member has to be of voting age. Rae ran against and defeated the president of the state firefighters’ union and a state legislator.”
… Ok, HOW does that happen? I mean really, how? He beat out a union leader and a state legislator. Who does this little turd know? Who is patroning him?.. True a union leader and a Demo legislator aren’t terribly worthy individuals. But still, it’s hard to imagine that they were so utterly incompetent that people thought that a 17 year old kid would do better. Just doesn’t make sense. Yeah yeah, I know they are Dems, but really they aren’t THAT stupid. The kid has got to know somebody. Somebody’s son, or nephew, or whathaveyou.

My thoughts precisely, Gila. Do you realize how much time it takes to strike a pose like that with all of the whites of your eyes showing around the iris??? Yes, Chesea has definitely inherited the propensity of her mother to make stupid and foolish looking facial expressions. Is this supposed to show us a look of “surprise”? Me thinks it does nothing but make her look abit crazed. LIke her parents.

You know, I was going to say “WUF” or “I wonder if she can hear a doggie whistle”. But that would be mean. Given the choice, she’s my favorite - besides she has a real job…at a hedge fund.

Egad, Who let the dogs out.
Yup is as cute as a bug, Kind of like the giant hissing cockroach.
Whats happening here may not be illegal, But it sure as hell is not ethical, Then again we are talking about the Clintons!
February 12th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
notsoyoungjim, after watching the video link that you posted it dawned on me…….. Jason Rae is Chelsea’s brother. They look so much alike! LOL
February 12th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Is that Chelsea or the winner of the Kentucky Derby?
February 13th, 2008 at 12:36 am
Perhaps they exchanged their views on positions; who will end up on top, and whether the climax was near. Meaning of course their thoughts on the Democrat campaign race.

Nice shoot’in 1st , but I’m going with : I’ve seen a better head on a boil . Haw ! I think I need a feed bag ,and any Jockey or horse would be offended .

U.S. Senate Page says it all “and wonders what it would be like to have intercourse with a woman..” didn’t leave out men, a Barney Frank in the making

“A banana and a glass of apple juice.”
I couldn’t make this up.
Neither could the Three Stooges.
“and wonders what it would be like to have intercourse with a woman…” because it is great with a man.
Sorry, couldn’t resist temptation and the obvious hints.
