No one is saying that he does not define his opponent, that is politics 101. The point was that it is how the candidate decides to define that person.

After researching the numbers on my own I have come to the conclusion that while your sentiments are correct the numbers are at best ambiguous at best. As an Obama supporter I am requesting that you stop writing articles like this. 1.The nomination is over Obama won, arguing ambiguous numbers in order to prove supremacy is whiny at best. 2. The real unarguable results of the caucuses show Obamas dominance. It does not matter that Obama won with "people who had time" he aims for everyone and takes what he gets. Clinton aims only at certain people and complains that she cant get the others. Perhaps if she wanted to be President for everyone and not just for women and poor white people she would be winning right now. posted 04/11/2008 at 13:15:34

Yes. However, if you are not currently registered as a Democrat, you may change your registration or register for the first time at the door. If you are 17 years old and will by 18 by November 4, 2008, you may register at the door and participate as well. posted 04/11/2008 at 12:20:39

I am sure but either support Obama or McCain or be quiet please. Your lack of understanding of the real world is exactly the thing that caused war in Iraq, 4.00/gal gas prices, and the fall of our economy.

Something about your numbers does not sound right. Are you saying that only 30,000 people participated in Kansas? I have a hard time believing that. I think you missed the point of a caucus. In a caucus the delegates are not selected by "voters". In this system, the voter does not choose the party's delegates to the National Convention through the ballot, as in a Primary (where the delegates are chosen directly by the voter or there is a presidential preference vote which determines the allocation of delegates indirectly) but, instead, participates in a "caucus" or "mass meeting" (a term more prevalent in the South) for the first "tier" (as the levels of civil divisions up through the State level are usually called in the application of this method) - a convocation of voters from a given precinct, township, ward or other relatively small civil division within a given state and one not very unlike the traditional Town Meeting prevalent in New England. Popular vote in a caucus is not the same thing as in a primary. You must be a Clinton person seeing as how you couldn't read the page that you linked to. Clinton supporters are prime examples of the failure of our education system. posted 04/11/2008 at 11:50:03

I talked to a friend stationed at Ft Bragg who has lived on or near base his entire life and this is what he told me about the campaign. Everyone he talks to sees that the dem race is over and Hillary lost and most of the people he talks to express more concern over whether the Obama will try to take their guns away than what Rev Wright said while Obama was playing Chicago politics. It is because they realize that Obamas views on religion are that it is more of a cultural exercise than anything and the reason he stayed there is the influence of the curch in the constituency he wanted to represent...talk about getting to know your voters. My (republican) friend ended the conversation by saying this. "It is all politics, nothing is based on what you say but how you say it. Obama says things in a way that generally comes off as honest and well intentioned. For the most part he does not duck questions or talk in circles until you forgot the original question. That is why I am voting for him." I personally have different reasons for voting for Obama but a vote is a vote. posted 03/25/2008 at 16:05:54

Bill Richardson a zero? He earned a Bachelor's degree at Tufts University in 1970, majoring in French and political science and was a brother and president of Delta Tau Delta. He went on to earn a master's degree in international affairs from Tufts University Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in 1971. Richardson spent a little more than 14 years in Congress and also was the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, U.S. Secretary of Energy ,Governor of New Mexico, and an adjunct professor at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
The point he was making was not that his grandmother harbors any racial animosity, but that. "If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know (pause) there's a reaction in her that doesn't go away and it comes out in the wrong way."

I have heard you talk on many issues and quite frankly I do not believe you have my best interests in mind or the best interests of my family or neighbors for that matter. If you remember, James, Jesus was crucified because he was a challenge to the ruling class which was getting tired of revolts in its provinces. Historically crucifiction is equal to lynching and in fact lynching is a form of crucifiction. If Bill Richardson was alive during the time of Jesus he would have been an advocate for his cause.

What a shame the standard is only good when if favors the Clintons. Why did she not say hey lets take a look at what he said lets find out why this prominent former Marine feels this way?

Our economy is in the toilet based largly on 2 factors 600 billion for war in Iraq and the oil markets Bush will leave us with a 1 trillion deficit more than half of which can be traced directly to funding this war this wasnot because of his tax cuts although without them we could probably have paid for the war and not felt it too much it is because people like Hillary trusted Bush. Say what you will but when we started the war in Iraq most of the people I talked to said something along these lines..."he is only trying to finish what his daddy started" or "we are only going there for oil"(lot of good that did us) The reality of it is we all knew there were weapons of mass destruction there we have known that since the 80s when Israel struck their nuke program. We were comfortable knowing that if anything got out of control Israel would take care of it(and being Israeli myself I can honestly say that they would have) Hillary was using the vote to go to war to make herself look strong on national security. What she failed to realize was that it was a bad idea and ironically could have looked just as strong and been in a better position now by saying no to Bush...she would have negated Obamas entire candidacy. and this is, I think, the fundemental flaw of hillary clinton. She listens to polls more than her own judgement. Every judgement call from trusting Bill as a person to trusting George bush has been wrong she can not make her mind up with out a poll and as we all know polls show what the average(uneducated, lets face it most of america does not have more than a high school education)person thinks. Personally I choose a president because I want him to make decisions for me, reality says that most of us do not know the first thing about economics or foreign policy if we did we would be running for office. I like John McCain I admire his courage honor and the sacrifice he has made for all of us. I admire my buddy Joe, who just got back from Iraq, in the same way but I am not voting for him for president. I am voting for a dem because I think the last 35 years have shown that Repubs understand the economics of big business but they do not understand how to run an economy that includes me or my republican neighbors. i.e. 22 of the last 35 years our govt has worked from a deficit and at the sametime they say we need to cut social programming because we dont have the money. Reality shows that as individuals we are one of the least taxed countries in the world it just does not make sense to continue to push cutting taxes when we cant pay our bills as it is. I would not quit my job and take a lower paying one if i really wanted to pay my bills. They push tax cuts because it sounds good and most americans do not understand the tax system. I just hope we can start to have honest intellegent discussions without the sillyness that seems to be seeping into these discussions.

Which for the most part I believe he has..100 percent of the time absolutely not but I think I would rather have the guy who makes inconsistant statements only 5 percent of the time over one who either lies 99 percent or the guy who can nopt tell the difference between one kind of arab and another. Hey McCain......news flash not all arabs/muslims want to kill us. If you cant tell the difference between friends and enemies then you not the same as Bush you are worse than him. In short, do I like everything about Obama....no in fact there are some things about him that I really do not like or am unsure of but Ill tell you what out of all 3 options left he is the best we have and I think when Obamas presidency is over we will look back and say well 90 percent of it worked but he will have at least tried to do 100 percent of what he said. One last afterthought about McCain...I am happy he is willing to work with dems. There is a difference, though, between working/agreeing with dems on dem issues and finding compromise with dems on things that you diagree on. I believe Obama wants to work with repubs on dem issues and find ways that they can have a hand in it.

"10 more states have to vote"----yes but she would have to win every remaining state by more than 10 percentage points to come even in pledged delegates. "if Obama was not blocking the revotes in MI and FL he would not be ahead"----even if those two states re-voted she would again have to win by a margin that would not be possible. "States won means nothing"----tell that to the people in those states and try to get their vote in november. Overturn pledged delegates lead by Obama will not only lose an entire generation of dems ie.youth vote but as every dem should know a Dem cannot win the white house without the African American vote and overturn pledged delegates and you lose that vote for 30 years or more.

"He figured out how to steal the election through intimidation." are you going to quantify that or do you only have empty statements.

LOL no fear here I served two years in a combat unit in Israel. Tired of people like you definitely. Perhaps you have an opposing thought or is the smoke and mirrors game all you have? posted 03/21/2008 at 13:59:53

Are you seriously saying Obama uses republican tactics are you watching the same election as the rest of the world? Actually the Canadian govt stated that they did not speak with Obamas advisor about nafta and that it was actually clinton that had contacted her but then again you accuse me of not having my own thoughts even though I have a Masters in political science from THE George Washington University and graduated suma cum laude from Washington University. Even more amazing is that after you accuse me of not being able to think you go on to spout the spin and media hype of the Clinton camp. WORD OF THE DAY____AUDACIOUS posted 03/21/2008 at 13:56:53

Wright"s rantings are not reflective of Obama"s views on anything. Why did he stay in the church? Because he"s a black Chicago politician who comes from a mixed marriage and went to Columbia and Harvard. Suspected of not being black enough or sufficiently tied to the minority community, he needed the networking opportunities Wright afforded him in his church to get elected. posted 03/21/2008 at 13:47:57

Have you talked to these supers cause that is an unfounded clam. As far as I know there is no evidence of what you are saying beyond opinion and well you know what they say about those. As far as your Kool-aid comment...seriously? you are going to end your comment by saying "my friend...i disagree with you--but that makes neither one of us idiots, dunces, or anything else...it means we disagree about politics....personal venom helps none of us" well then dont tell me I am drinking kool-aid because I have been voting for this man since he ran for the Illinois Senate and I have seen the good he has done. I am adult enough to admit that calling someone a dunce was not a good tact and I will make every effort to be more thoughtful in the future but I implore you to do the same. posted 03/21/2008 at 13:47:16

Actually your talking points about Rezko are about 3 months old try a new one. As far as dontacting Canada that has been debunked. You need some new info yours is inaccurate. posted 03/21/2008 at 13:37:39

Playing 51 percent politics won't work this time. Now President Obama is so far ahead she has no chance of catching up. I don't know if Communists is what the democratic party wants to become. Super-delegates will not lose an entire generation of voters and in case you haven't noticed no democrat has won the white house with out the African American vote overturn the will of the voters and you will lose them for at least 30 years. Your analysis is not only shortsighted it lacks a fundamental understanding of politics. Thanks for playing though. posted 03/21/2008 at 13:32:16

Obama tax returns no Schedule E income - no trusts, no limited partnerships, no business associates funnelling money to the Obamas


The economics of Barack Obama
Writing in the Guardian, Daniel Koffler offers a provocative analysis of the economics of Barack Obama, arguing that the senator and his chief economic advisor, Austan Goolsbee, have put together a platform that is "orthogonal to the traditional liberal-conservative axis." (Thanks to Trade Diversion for the link.)


If this approach needs a name, call it left-libertarianism. Advancements in behavioral economics, public and rational choice theory, and game theory provide us with an opportunity to attend to inequality without crippling the economy, enhancing the coercive power of the state, or infringing on personal liberty (at least not to any extent greater than the welfare state already does; and as much as my libertarian friends might wish otherwise, the welfare state isn't going anywhere). The cost -- higher marginal tax rates -- is real, but eminently justified by the benefits.


On healthcare and on trade, argues Koffler, Obama is "moving more and more in the direction of economic freedom, competition and individual choice." This reflects the influence of Goolsbee, "who agrees with the liberal consensus on the need to address concerns such as income inequality, disparate educational opportunities and, of course, disparate access to healthcare, but breaks sharply from liberal orthodoxy on both the causes of these social ills and the optimal strategy for ameliorating them."


Instead of recommending traditional welfare-state liberalism as a solvent for socioeconomic inequalities and dislocations, Goolsbee promotes programs to essentially democratize the market, protecting and where possible expanding freedom of choice, while simultaneously creating rational, self-interested incentives for individuals to participate in solving collective problems.


In a recent forum for candidate economic advisors sponsored by the New American Foundation, Goolsbee offered an example of what he called Obama's "sleek and easy to use iPod version of government." Suppose the goal is to get Americans to save more by diverting some portion of their income into investment accounts. "The research is very clear," said Goolsbee. The way to get people to start doing that is to "default them into automatic enrollment." So, a worker starts a new job, and 3 percent of his or her paycheck is automatically deposited into an investment account. But if the workers wanted to opt out of such a program, said Goolsbee, they could easily do so.

The proposal manages to include elements of the "nanny-state" approach (we'll pass a law that automatically forces citizens to save more) and yet at the same time tells people that they don't have to participate if they don't want to. Technocratic: yes. Inspiring: maybe not.

Buzzwords like "economic freedom" and "individual choice" make it easy for strategists for other campaigns to attempt to portray Obama as Republican-lite, not to mention open up room for attacks from the left such as those relentlessly delivered by Paul Krugman. But when Goolsbee spoke at the NAF forum, he noted that the critical problem at the heart of the American economy is the growing disparity in income distribution between the richest Americans and the poor and middle class. Over the last six years, said Goolsbee, "the typical worker had not seen income grow hardly at all, while the cost of education, health care and energy have all gone up."

It hardly needs stressing that concerns about income inequality do not generally fall into the category "Republican-lite." But it is also true that Obama appears to be pushing a relatively market-friendly agenda that does not map neatly onto liberal Democratic traditions.

Of course, no one on the left ever accused Bill or Hillary Clinton of being raving liberals. It is one of the many peculiarities of this campaign season that Hillary Clinton's campaign strategists have decided that there is an advantage to be gained in attempting to position her as the progressive candidate, in comparison to Obama. Both candidates are much closer to the center than they are to, say, Ralph Nader. So as California and 20-odd other states get ready for, as Keith Olbermann likes to say, the biggest day of primaries in the history of the universe, should the decisive factor in choosing one or the other be the differences in the tactics they espouse, or how one estimates their chances of winning a general election, and getting the opportunity to execute their plans.
