John Edwards & Barack Obama went straight for the jugular in going
after Hillary. They attacked the vote on calling the Iranian Revolutionary Council a terrorist organization. Saying it will give this president the excuse he needs to
go to war with Iran.

Hillary’s inconsistent answers were exposed on social security and at the end
of the debate she agreed with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's controversial plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants but then a minute later started backtracking.
Now Bill Clinton was a master at being evasive but her facial expressions and
demeanor showed she is no Bill Clinton. Will this debate change the numbers?
I don’t know.

I think what was really exposed last night was status quo positions of the front runner.
How can my party complain about the secrecy in the Bush Administration
if Hillary does not turn over all her documents? I understand it gives the other
candidates an unfair advantage, because she will be the only candidate required to
do this. But if this lack of transparency is going to stop, someone has to take
the lead. The other is lobbyist money; Hillary has out raised all the candidates of
both parties in lobbyist money from Wall Street, defense department, and insurance
and drug companies. Some might see it as success but really it business as usual.
Somehow we must have a leader to take us to public financing because these lobbyist
have too much influence.

I am getting suspicious as to why the Bush Administration is getting their way on the
latest NSA spying bill. Did the telecommunication lobbyist have something to do
with it? I don’t know.

This may sound like a slam on Hillary but it really isn’t, it just exposes some of her
weakness in a primary. Great leaders learn form mistakes and they don’t
usually repeat them. Constructive criticism will only make a person stronger.

Mike - > Politcs Plus -> Barack Obama is like an old Timex watch
Barack Obama is like an old Timex watch

They keep pounding on him, and he keeps on ticking.

First Barack Obama was not black enough,no experience, a Muslim taught in madrasa schools (a chain letter to prove it), pictures of him not placing his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance, when it actually was the national anthem. Hysteria broke out at and a local blogger cut and pasted it into his blog. Barack Obama had to dispel  the rumors in a national debate. He denounced and rejected the teachings of Louis Farrakhan in another national debate.  Imagine that in a sophisticated country, such as ours.

Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly take credit for exposing the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. ABC also takes the credit but I will let them sort that out. Two snippets, of  controversial statements made by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright were found and used to discredit Barack Obama’s thought process for remaining a member in that church. Gloom and doom was predicted, but Obama gave the best speech, I have ever heard on race. The speech had over a million hits on YouTube. Recent daily Gallup polls show Barack Obama moving ahead of Hillary Clinton, so for now, the controversy is behind him. Since John McCain is using the swiftboaters and other Rove hit machines ,I am sure this will resurface.The Democrats will probably counter with that George Bush hug and title it “Vote John McCain and get a third George Bush term”

Hillary Clinton gave an interview to the far right conservative newspaper Pittsburgh Tribunal Review ,where she told them ,that if her pastor had made those remarks,while she was in attendance, she would have left that church that very day. Well, Obama was in Miami that time.  Of course Hillary was trying to deflect the bad press coverage of her Bosnia trip lies. Must most of the pundits saw it this way.  Why was Hillary Clinton giving an interview to the paper that accused her of murdering Vince Foster?

One of the latest right-wing attacks was made by columnist George Putman titled “One Reporters opinion-Obama has a racist agenda.”  Of course this was taken for fact.

The author quotes Dr. Thomas Sowell writing that Barack Obama had  friends that included Marxist professors, structural feminists, punk rock performance poets, as well as more politically active black students. And according to his book, Obama later visited a former member of the Weathermen Terrorists who endorsed him when he ran for state senator in Illinois.  A good part of the article quotes Pat Buchanan as a source.  Oh, that’s one man I would pick for racial harmony.

Still early, because the Democrats have not pick their nominee,but  . Barack Obama has a half a percentage point lead over John McCain. if you average the 6 leading polls.

  It’s early now and these polls do not mean a lot, but it seems to me a Barack Obama just keeps on ticking.
