I'd prefer he not include Republicans in his cabinet because they've proven themselves to be nothing but a bunch of hypocritical, backstabbing, lying son's of bitches. However it's a unique counterpoint to the last seven years of crass Republicanism that has resulted in Democrats being unceremoniously excluded from the legislative process. He's reaching across the isle, which is a good thing, I just hope he doesn't get his hand bitten off,

Billary knows that she only needs to survive the first vote at the convention without a winner.

The really sad fact is that the pledged delegates (the ones from the elections) have to vote only the first time for who they are supposed to.

Billary knows this very well. Many, if not most of these pledged delegates are actually long time establishment persons.

And on the second vote they will revert to voting their long time establishment ownership. (They all then turn into superdelegates.)

meanwhile, check out 60 Minutes - Hillary is busy shoving Obama under the bus - shocker

If Clinton wins so much as a single state Tuesday, I see her continuing on right up to the convention. Any win, no matter how inconsequential, will serve as a pretext to stay in the race, and the Hillary lovers can always say that Obama doesn't have the 2,025 delegates needed for the nomination.

Appointing a Republican to his cabinet demonstrates Obama's willingness to hear ALL SIDES of an issue, rather than surrounding himself with yesmen. Much like President Lincoln (who appointed all of his rivals to his cabinet), so does Obama understand the importance of hearing the full story.

Obama '08!

Hopefully one of those "young Obama supporters" will know how to hack those Diebold machines, so every time a 60+ woman goes into the voting booth in Ohio and pulls the lever for Clinton, it will register 3 votes for Obama.

On Monday morning, Obama should go directly after the 60+ women demographic vote by announcing the inclusion of cats as dependent tax deductions.

In response to the new Huffy posters self imposed truth in statement policy I would like to say this:

The chance of me telling the truth for the foreseeable future is ...

Slim and fucking none!

Course that being the truth and all ....

They say a sizable chunk of Clinton's voter base are uneducated voters.

There's something disturbing about the fact that Ohio may go to Clinton because so many in that state are completely in the dark about what's going on in the country and around the world.

Thanks Obama! I have been worried about Obama since he made the dumb remark about the Republicans having all the Ideas or something such. No need to worry if Obama is putting Republicans into Cabinet positions. I won't be voting for him.

My, my..... Wonder what all those loyal AA Democrats are going to feel about this? I'm sure he could careless now that most of them have already voted and are pissed off with the Clintons. Talk about being played.

Anyway, if we have established adequately the idea that all Obama supporters are of exactly one mind and can all be held to account for everything that any other Obama supporter writes on an anonymous blog, and that all Obama supporters must take an Oath, like Boy Scouts, to uphold the mission of Obama, then perhaps I can draw your attention to something important?

FISA UPDATE!

The House leadership is considering splitting up the Senate abomination in order to allow congressmen to trade votes (you vote yes on A, I"ll vote no, you vote no on B, I"ll vote yes) in order to give them cover to pass the entire bill.

Then call Pelosi, Hoyer, Conyers, some Blue Dogs and your own congressman and raise holy hell. Tell them that only the RESTORE act is acceptable.

From the article: "Under pressure to end an impasse over espionage legislation, House Democrats are considering a plan to vote on a bill next week that would give the government broad new eavesdropping authorities but strip out a provision that would protect phone companies from lawsuits."

Please act!

Someone's betraying lord, kumbaya.
Oh lord, kumbaya.
