The surge worked ,we won A constant battle..Does it have to be? What are we afraid of? Not that important? Finally Bill O'Reilly v Scott McClellan A little late, Scott McClellan Chuck Hagel for VP it's the message/messenger Just the facts Kevin James October 07 November 07 December 07 January 08 February 08 March 08 April 08 May 08 June 08 July 08 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.

It's over
Barack Obama is the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. When NBC's Tim Russert calls a primary for Barack Obama,its over. You can use the Clinton matrix and count the, Florida and Michigan votes and delegates but mathematically Barack Obama still wins. Obama's 14 point North Carolina win, negated Hillary's Pennsylvania win and her two point squeaker in Indianapolis is too little too late. Can you imagine her asking the money people for more cash? It's my guess, back room deals are being made as we speak, like taking on the Clinton campaign debt, seating the Florida and Michigan delegates, hiring some of Clinton's staff.and possibly considering a Clinton supporter for vice president. Hillary will continue campaigning in West Virginia and Kentucky, but will tone down her anti-Obama rhetoric. Hillary is expected to win West Virginia and Kentucky, where she will bow out graciously, in the next two weeks with pride left intact. Hillary fought the good fight, now she can take some time off, and comeback to use all that energy to make Barack Obama the next president of the United States. Barack Obama weathered a bad month of setbacks, but unfortunately 33% to 35% of Hillary supporters say they will vote for John McCain, if she is the not the nominee. Four months is forever, in a presidential campaign plenty of time, for the Obama charm, to unite the Democratic party. The GOP is going to tailor their ads on issues like Jeremiah Wright, elitism and Bill Ayers, because what else can they run on. John McCain is obviously weak on economics, and that was the number one issue in the primaries. Running on the policies of George W. Bush is an albatross around McCain's neck that he won't be able to shake without upsetting his base.Didn't take long ,this morning Fox and Friend's Steve Doocey rolled out (William Ayers standing on the flag)linking it to Barack Obama's 1995 association on a charity board with Ayers.And Fox wonders why the Democrats boycott them. They don't even pretend to be "Fair and Balanced." Barack Obama will continue the formalities of campaign stumps, but that back room is thinking about vice presidential choices, like John Edwards, Sam Nunn, Bill Richardson, and Ed Rendell. Oh,happy days are here again.0 comments from 0 users
