Obama followers should be preparing

themselves for the worst. And remember,

The Presidency is not an Entitlement program.

Old Money, New Money, People%u2019s Money!!!
Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell, a Clinton backer, said Obama outspent her by a 3.5-to-1 margin, including more than $2.9 million on television ads in the state last week.
"That''s almost obscene," Rendell said on CBS'' "Face the Nation."
Nothing can be further from %u201CTruth%u201D. To a great extent US elections in the recent past have been financed by Old Money or New Money; from ones own coffers or from Fat Cats.
Barrack and the Web have turned this very notion upside down. Barack has what I call People%u2019s Money. People like me who contribute in small amounts and often, because they are sick and tired of the ways of traditional politics and politicians, they are eager to take back their own government and once again make it by the people, of the people and for the people.
Ed, no amount spin will work here, the money Barack spending is People%u2019s Money. The fact that Obama outspent Hillary by a 3.5-to-1 margin can be simply put this way. People believe in Barack%u2019s candidacy to Clinton%u2019s may be 3.5 times over and are voting with their money as well as vote. So stop whining: %u201CGrapes are Sour when you do not get it%u201D.

"Among Pennsylvania students who will vote or have voted in a Democratic primary in any state, Sen. Barack Obama leads Sen. Hillary Clinton, 71% to 28%, and among those who intend to vote in the Pennsylvania primary, Obama leads by a nearly identical margin of 71% to 29%." http://agonist.org/schecter/?p=9031 What does this mean? I believe it means that the country is evolving. The old guard is ending and the young people want a politician who is not of the same ilk of his parents or grandparents. Sen. Obama is the future of the Democratic Party and Sen. Obama may very well be our next Potus.

The Inconvenient Truth!

Will some white Democrats not vote for Obama due to his race? Say it isn''t so!!

"Gov. Ed Rendell, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton''s most visible supporters, said some white Pennsylvanians are likely to vote against her rival Barack Obama because he is black".

%u201CYou''ve got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate%u201D.

If I%u2019m not mistaken only Democrats can vote in the Democrat primary. So is Rendell admitting that there are white Democrats that won%u2019t vote for Barrack Obama due to his race? That%u2019s an interesting claim. I wonder what does Rendell thinks about blacks that support Obama because he is black and won%u2019t vote for Hillary because she is white. More then likely Rendell would swarm like a worm on a hook if asked that question. Are the white men that are support Hillary Clinton racists? So Rendell is admitting that there are not only racist white Democrats but also racist black Democrats. It seems it goes further then that as well. Ed has also admitted that no all racist live in southern states, but they also live in northern states. Ed also exposed the illusion that all conservatives are registered Republicans. Everything Rendell has mentioned is common knowledge among people willing to do the research and use common sense.

Hillary to Bill on working class:
"Screw ''''em," she told her husband. "You don''''t owe them a thing, Bill. They''''re doing nothing for you; you don''''t have to do anything for them."

---"but this election goes to the root of our National Security"---

You know why the general election numbers are going to shift is that the GOP are framing the dialectic as war versus anti-war . . . we Dems haven''t begun yet to really engage and we''re going to posit that the dialectic is progress versus stagnation.

The sub-conflict will be over judgment, where McCain is basically arguing trust (trust him because he was a POW, don''t trust Barack because he''s weak/black/''muslim''/''unpatriotic''/whatever), and Barack''s basically pointing to his record of accurately predicting outcomes based on issue-spotting.

If Barack can show that war is a choice and that he''s as aggressive about engaging in battle WHEN CALLED FOR and, then he wins.

If Iraq flares up, Barack also wins.

A lot still to be debate I think . . .
