From what I hear both Ohio and PA. would be overjoyed to have Hillary but she has been dismissed for the one, they selected ,after she won 18 million voters! pretty amazing huh?

Pacing around the old Victorian home, the wooden floor creaking, Obama went on: “I’ll give you one specific example: Mississippi is 40% African American, but it votes 25% African American. If we just got the African Americans in Mississippi to vote their percentage, Mississippi is suddenly a Democratic state. And Georgia may be a Democratic state. Even South Carolina starts being in play. And I guarantee you African-American turnout, if I’m the nominee, goes up 30% around the country, minimum.”</em> But I'll award you a point for saying no one credible has argued that. ;) “I’m probably the only candidate who, having won the nomination, can actually redraw the political map,” Obama replied to a question about his strategy from a Concord, N.H., woman at a house party last August.

I agree with Moss that President McCain would be a lesser evil than President Plastic Jesus, but Moss has swallowed the War Lobby's propaganda hook, line, and sinker, and they have him flopping in the boat. What we need is a crash program, in the Manhattan or Apollo Project style, to develop energy independence so that we can abandon the Middle East and let those wretched tribes of eternally quarrelling barbarians shoot, stab, bludgeon, and detonate one another to their assorted colorful varieties of mythological perdition, and sweet good riddance to the filthy lot of them! The last war in which the freedom or survival of the USA was at stake ended in 1945. All the wars since then have happened to protect the privileges of Big Business to rape the Global South with impunity. Moss, if we pulled out of the world and just used our Armed Forces to defend this country--you know, their <strong>real</strong> function--<strong>no one</strong> could invade or destroy this country. Our lords and masters, the corporate rich, have brainwashed you to believe otherwise so that you'll be willing to sacrifice all the American blood and treasure it takes to beat the Global South into submission so that Big Business can plunder the GS safely.

Moss, if we pulled out of the world and just used our Armed Forces to defend this country–you know, their real function–no one could invade or destroy this country. Our lords and masters, the corporate rich, have brainwashed you to believe otherwise so that you’ll be willing to sacrifice all the American blood and treasure it takes to beat the Global South into submission so that Big Business can plunder the GS safely.

If I were an O backer I'd be sweating bullets. He should be shellacking McCain, not just hanging onto the margin of error. Maybe that's why they are getting so hysterical about putting HRC's name on the Denver ballot (and btw not doing so is a direct violation of their oh-so-beloved rules). I think that's what we should be asking Howard Dean, Donna Be, and the DNC: What are you afraid of? Has ANY candidate ever, for any party, had to be this coddled and sheltered and protected and given unfair break after unfair break, by his party? Jeebus. Maybe Bush in 2000? I don't remember it that way but then again, that whole election was a surreal experience for me. <blockquote>What a strange year. I have always hated the Republican smear machine. Now I find myself hoping they are ready to launch.</blockquote> Indeed! I keep asking my Republican friends when they are going to roll out the show, I want to get started! It will certainly be another surreal experience this time-- I'll be watching the GOP slime machine and actually cheering it on! Strange days indeed.
