I think Obama should answer these questions before moving forward:

Don't interrupt the Obamaphiles...they are floating their excuses for the potential failure in November.

These things take time and practice.

Todays lesson: Blame Hillary.

Be careful not to look into any mirrors when practicing blaming others...you might get confused and accidentally take responsibility for something.

The first lesson that we can learn in our "blame Hillary" exercise to make sure we always look OUTWARD for causes.

Repeat after me: "It is always someone else's fault."

Now, be an obedient Democrat and allow Senator Obama to ignore the homos the next time he makes a speech about unity, divisive politics and scapegoating.

*sigh*

and we could also be obedient democrats and allow hillary to ignore the homos EVERY SINGLE TIME she speaks. except of course when she's asking for money at the next human rights campaign fundraiser.

Wow, the Obamazoids are strangely quiet today. Must have gotten a bad batch of Kool-Aid.

This post should be titled, "All Polls are Fiction".

All I know is Clinton's attack/smear campaign is surpressing inconstant Dem voter turnout from the non-likely voters.

She must be proud of continuing in Rove's footsteps. Even if it's not really helping her total voter turnout either.

Obama *and* Clinton aren't doing as well as you'd think:

but Obama is still better than Clinton in a matchup with McCain.

You should know Will, you're the most Rovian of everyone. Say or do whatever it takes for whatever your pet cause is. How's that ST2.1 vote in February that "we all know is happening" coming along?

Oh wait, it didn't. Why should we believe anything that comes out of your festering mouth hole?

Hey, 5280: for someone who claims to be a victim of the horribly divisive politics of, ahem, Obamazoids, you're awfully abusive yourself. Transference much? Or just classic Clinton mud-grubbing? Which is it?

#2: At least Obama has a GBL page on his website. That's more than Hillary can say.

@8 - look, the politicos backed down, thanks to people like you. They could have run a straight ST2.1 in Feb 2008 after dropping the LINK segment from Sea-Tac to Tacoma, but the Pierce County people killed that.

And the current versions they won't be getting it either.

Now the debate is the lame 2010 bid, when all the numbers say Nov 2008 is when to do it, but this is what happens when you let non-directly-elected politicos make the decisions for you.

See you at the event tonight, whiner.

@1

Why not just be blunt and say,

"Are you a fu*king racist, ni*ger?"

Those questions are just as absurd.

I like Obama - a lot. Every speech of his I've heard has connected with me in a way that I've never felt toward a politician before. In fact, he does inspire me. He has lifted me out of my jaded political cynicism and, for the first time, shown me that a candidate for President could be someone I wanted to vote for - and not casting my ballot against the other guy.

There is something special about Obama. Something uniquely American and I will be proud to vote for him in November.

I always like hearing when people say they support a candidate because they've never been moved by someone like that before.

Hitler had the same effect on people.

Note: I'm not saying Obama is in anyway like Hitler. Both are just very well known for their ability to give rousing speeches.
