So, after the "fairy tale" speech; the working class voter suppression lawsuit in Nevada; the "53-card deck" in South Carolina; the infamous "Midnight Signature" to subvert a signed agreement and sneak her name onto the ballot in Michigan; a series of base and crass smears against her opponent; organized campaigns against the ladies and gentleman of the press; and, yesterday, her announcement that she will take the nomination even she ISN'T chosen by US - after all that mud and sludge and smear and distortion and spin and intimidation . . .

SHE STILL BELIEVES she will be able to sling the mud of lies and distortions and take the voters' attention off her campaign . . . one rife with financial mismanagement, infighting between staff members, out-of-control "surrogates, and an undisciplined message that has changed at every turn (literally, from "experience" to "change" to "solutions").

Well, it hasn't worked so far. Yesterday, a reporter friend of mine noted her "screeches" after Senator Obama's policy speech received the highest grade of ANY policy speech this year, and said, "You know, they will do or say anything. But it aint' working this year, man."

And none of us are exactly sure why. But we think it has something to do with the fact that Barack Obama has run a quiet, disciplined, well-managed, inspiring and CONSISTENT campaign.

Many people are saying. "You know what? She's right. She's been tested . . . in Congress and on the campaign trail. And she's failed."

OH, AND IF YOU WANNA STOP HER FROM STEALING THE NOMINATION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GOTO:

There you can sign the petition to the superdelegates from MoveOn.org:

"The Democratic Party must be democratic. The superdelegates should let the voters decide between Clinton and Obama, then support the people's choice."

OBAMA '08

Do we really want an angry man running our country like Barak? He needs anger management class.

People please - I think we all need to take a breath because this is getting ugly. We are essentially arguing in my opinion minor points with the kind of venom that implies that our lives depend on it.
I'm not naive, its politics and it gets dirty but seriously, Enough. At the end of the day nobody is perfect both of these candidates due to their profession have to occasionally lie down with dogs - however in my opinion neither of them are particularly flee ridden (I will concede a few for both). That said while we tear these 2 down over these minor differences we do ourselves a disservice.
For full disclosure I support Obama - I prefer his healthcare plan because I don't want to be in the business of essentially taxing the poor (feel free to disagree) and I particularly like his ideas on economic stimulus that at the same time promotes environmental issues as well as his college subsidies that require the recipient to volunteer. That said I REFUSE to bash Hilary Clinton to this level on what I consider minor issues - it does me a disservice. If she wins I will support her to the hilt.
Once a nominee is decided that is when the claws come out. Yesterday John Mcain who I previously respected became unbelievably flee infested by voting to allow water boarding (TORTURE people) to essentially buy the support of the republican parties conservative base. Sorry but to agree that torture is ok to make a bunch of lunatics who want to impose their religious ideology on me happy is a huge issue for me and beating up 2 candidates who are not even in that zipcode only plays into their hands.
I won"t do it " please can we have this discussion like the civilized people we are.

Amazing, how people can say that Obama cannot debate yet Hillary refuses to explain her healthcare plan, OMITTING the fact that she will garnish your paycheck! Hillary's answer to the housing mess is to keep on paying though
the value of the house has deteriorated by 50%.
The fact that the Pharma Industry is her biggest campaign donor does not mean anything to the lemmings. Do you really think things will change with Hillary or even for that Obama, only Obama is the lesser evil. Forget McCain, no GOP PERIOD.

Our present political races seem to be dominated by three sitting Senators of the United States.

Let them therefore, one and all, ACT like Senators.

This means: you do not "blast" your COLLEAGUE. You do not shame him or her for your own political coinage. Instead, you debate them fairly. You are, as it were, interviewing for the job of CEO, of an organization with more than 320 million customers.

Quit listening to PR agents and pollsters and start acting like ... the ladies and gentlemen that you actually are.

The point isn't that Barry won't debate Hillary.

The point is that he CAN'T debate Hillary, or anyone else.

Anything besides a recycled slogan like "Yes We Can?" seems to beyond his intellect. Certainly that of his supporters.

Garry Wills wrote "Lincoln At Gettysburg," subtitled, "The Words That Remade America." Will points out important qualities of Presidential speeches - and the analogy to Obama is not lost....

This is where money matters, Obama can go ad for ad with Hillary. It makes a big difference.

My favorite quote of the day from the Huckster: Hillary's message is not working, because the American people are not looking for someone who can fix the carburator, they are looking for someone who can drive the car! (HRC for senate leader, chief of staff or like position that suits her numerous qualities infinitely better!)

Speeches don't put food on the table?

Dramatic irony: she said this during a speech.

Huckabee got 25K for a speech so they do put food on the table.

I watched both ads and his ad kicked her ad's arse.

How many jobs have you created Hillary? Let's see the figures..
