John McCain is going to select Sen. Joe Lieberman (I) CT as his Vice-Presidential running mate. There are two reason for this selection. It display's McCain's bi-partisanship muscle. The second reason requires some set up. First, John McCain's been dropping Judeo-Christian like it's hot lately. He's planning to paint Sen. Obama as a Muslim v. the Christian and the Jew. Secondly, Mike Huckabee is dispatched to Israel to rally the troops. That is the master plan and it must be defeated now.
Would you support Senator Obama in an independent run if Hillary Clinton steals the nomination? Sign here.

Hillary will do or say anything to win. She's even publicly relenting her Iraq war vote. She's held on to that one forever. Hillary's a clown. She's not Bill and guess what, Bill's not Bill anymore either.
Thank you for your service. I strongly dislike you because of your sleazy racist campaign. Hillary is getting exactly what she deserved. The truth is that black folks never really cared for Hillary when they were in office. We just didn't like her. We still don't. You see why?????
Darrick
P.S. I find it a compliment to be kicked off of Hillary's website for my pro-Obama views. I'm an Obamacrat and a web warrior. I made sure that the public knew who "The Clintons" are. Good luck Barack.

Barack Obama is one of us. He's a mixed kid, from a mixed background. He's overcome a lot in his life and he has stood tall in the process. The man is of patient compromise. He is of sound judgement and intelligence. He surrounds himself with extraordinary talent. His father was an economics professor. He is simply a phenomenon.You can attack his record, but you and I know that he's a fast tracker and that he's accomplished a lot in a very short time. He's just like any prized grad. Only he found his calling fresh out of grad school and even before that. Sometimes some people are just born to do it. Albert Einstein, John F. Kennedy, Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Diddy, need I go on. The truth about Barack Hussein Obama is that he is a man for the people first. Not the people for him first. The truth about Barack is that he's one of us. That's why we love him so much. By the way, Hussein means beautiful boy.
A kid who had a white woman as a mother and knows the struggles of white women. A son who lacked the presence of his father. Thank god for Hawaii. No one from the mainiland could have his mentality.

Now if we can just get Hillary to quit too!

1. Female
2. Fantastic Governor
3. John McCain's border state (Arizona
4. Executive experience
Barack needs to cut into her female lead. A strong female VP candidate like Gov. Janet Napolitano of Arizona will do the trick against Hillary and cut into McCain's base support in AZ.
Napolitano is a prominent national advocate for education and immigration reform. As a Democratic governor, Napolitano sought funding for the public education system, health care programs, teachers pay, state government workers pay, and prison employees pay.[3] She signed legislation that offered voluntary full day kindergarten throughout Arizona.[3] Napolitano opened the nation’s first state counter-terrorism center, signed legislation for a prescription drug card for seniors[4] and signed into law property and income tax cuts, which were proposed by the Republican legislature.[3]
In her first year as governor, Napolitano brought the state's budget from a billion-dollar deficit in the year after the September 11, 2001 attacks to a billion-dollar surplus, and did so without a tax increase.[4] Every budget Napolitano has signed has been balanced. Yet, Napolitano received a low grade from the Cato Institute for fiscal spending, citing the fact that her budgets annually increased spending by an average of 6% over the previous year's total.[3] Napolitano's position on budget issues has been to defend education spending as "investing in what matters", citing the benefits of academic achievement and economic growth. Faced with a conservative Republican majority in both houses of the Arizona Legislature, she issued her 115th veto on June 6, 2006, breaking the record previously held by former Governor Bruce Babbitt. By the end of June 2006 her veto total had grown to 127 vetoes.[5]
Napolitano has been named one of the five best governors in the nation by TIME and is a noted national leader on immigration policy. In a Washington Post op-ed, she explained her belief that the topic of illegal immigration was urgent and needed to be solved through comprehensive federal reform.[6] In another op-ed in the Arizona Republic Napolitano was critical of sections of the federal proposal debated at that time, saying that, "As a border state governor and a former attorney general and United States attorney, I can already spot issues that make key provisions of the compromise impracticable and ineffective."[7] She was the first governor to call for the US National Guard to be placed at the U.S.-Mexico border at federal expense and succeed.[citation needed] In July 2007, she signed state legislation designed to penalize employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Previously, when Arizona's voters passed Proposition 200, which would not allow illegal immigrants to collect welfare benefits, Napolitano opposed the measure.[4]
I, (your name), do solemnly swear that I will not vote for Hillary Rodham-Clinton if she becomes the nominee of the Democratic Party for the 2008 Presidential General Election. I find the Clintons political tactics to be repulsive and no better than the Republicans, therefore, I will vote for the Republican candidate in protest, since no real change will happen in the White House either way.

Sisters, as a black man, I am exhausted with the systematic destruction of my brothers. I am weary of the day-to-day ethnic cleansing that is happening right now in America. No one talks about it, but we all know that 2/3 of all African-American men will either be dead or in the criminal justice system by the time that we reach the age of twenty-three. Having been one of who I call, The Lucky Third, I consider myself to be fortunate. I am fortunate enough to have a father who guides me through manhood. I recognize that most of my brothers have not had this and I empathize with them. Barack Obama is one of those 2/3 men. He overcame the obstacles and pitfalls of being a fatherless adolescent to become the first politically viable African-American candidate in United States history and a beacon of change in America.
Ladies, obviously we have an opportunity to promote the black man on the global stage. Don’t we all agree that he has been demoted for far too long? As a community, we ask ourselves, why? Why can’t we stick together? Why are our families failing? Why are we being infected by HIV at such a rapid rate? Why? Why? Why? I’ll tell you why sisters, we have no role models. They are all either dead or in jail. They are chosen behind women of all colors for jobs. They are first distrusted, every day of their lives. We realize that you share our struggle and that you bear the weight of the struggle. I’m suggesting to you that you give the black man what he needs. He needs Barack Obama. He needs to know for the first time in his existence on this continent, that he can be valued and to whom he should model himself after. Barack Obama is the ultimate black male role model. I’m 35 years old and I want to be just like him when I grow up. Imagine how your 13 year old sons’ lives will be changed by witnessing his election and then imaging how much better your 13 year old daughters will be treated by those sons in society as a result. This is what’s possible. Don’t let it pass.
We have to believe. And, even more than believing, we have to show up. It means that we have to register to vote now. It means that we do not have the luxury of sitting this one out or letting the Clinton’s come up with ways to avoid the black and brown vote. Do you trust Hillary Clinton? Do you think that she will do anything to end the “War on Drugs” (War on Black Men)? Senator Obama will be a President for the people; all of the people. I urge you ladies, vote for Barack Obama.
The Clinton's are clearly using racism against Barack Obama. Barack can't call this out without appearing to using the "race card". Personally I hate the term "race card" because it implies that anyone who brings up a racially motivated defense against white people gets marginalized for doing so by that term. It's not a card. It's reality. America is a racist country and the Clinton's, who have long been embraced by African-Americans as one of them, is now using racial stereotypes to swift-boat Barack Obama.
One only need ask a few key questions to see the truth behind the Clinton attacks. Did anyone ask Bill Clinton if he was a drug dealer when he admitted to using drugs? Do you think anyone would ask John Edwards that? Then they call him a Muslim as if it is wrong to be one. It's the same technique that is used by the right-wing to make the word "Liberal" sound like a plague. If I were Barack Obama, I'd take the risk and bring this up. The Clinton's are right for a beat down.
Obama/Powell(Colin) 2008......Unstoppable! Make it happen!
Sen. Obama,
Sen. Clinton jumped on you because of your weak response to the "Attack on Two Cities" question. I admit that I have pretty radical views on defense, but I think that the country is ready for sweeping reform.
I propose that you elect a platform of change that includes creating the sixth and seventh branches of the DoD. I believe that the only way to effectively fight clandestine forces is with a large clandestine military. The military, as it is, is still arranged for Cold War era conventional warfare and that's why the Iraqis are kicking our ass. I propose that you make the Delta Force an additional branch and that you grow that force to a size to commensurate the global threat. I propose that you make The U.S. Border Patrol the seventh branch of the DoD and that it be grown and equipped to effectively handle border security to commensurate with the illegal immigration problem and the War on Terror. The promotion of these agencies will create funding, more effective defense, and a more visible profile of these newly more important entities. Simply put, they are not being recognized on even keel with their importance.
I believe that the fundamental mistake that the Bush Administration made was to try to fight terrorism by conventional forces. It makes for great copy and great ship side photo ops, but it is highly ineffective. To be brutally honest, the war on terror should not be publicized. The War on Terror should consists of tons of black ops and tons of throats being slit in the middle of the night with no publicity. It should be a silent war. Publicity is exactly what the terrorist want. It aids in their recruitment, the fruits of which are bared themselves in New Jersey this week.
In regards to Iraq, you will have to drive the point home that the military is broken and needs to regroup to meet what will surely be greater threats in the future, while escalating the silent war on terror. You must push diplomacy in Iraq. You must prove to the American public that you have a superior diplomatic disposition and that you will be able to bring the sectarian factors to the table. You must be proactive about not leaving residual forces in Iraq as a means of continuing our occupation. This will just keep less American troops in increased peril.
In regards to Al Qaeda, insist that the fight against Al Qaeda in Iraq and abroad, will be continued through the silent war. Drive home the point that you will not relent against the terrorist everywhere and that you plan to use the military as a "smart weapon" instead of a blunt object as it has been. Drive home the point that you do not want the American public to live in fear and that you will be a staunch guardian President.

My top 5 candidates for Barack's VP running mate:
1. Bill Richardson - North Korea diplomacy, Hispanic voting block, insurance against assassination, great record as New Mexico Governor, immigration battleground state
2. Nancy Pelosi - Represents the most populist state in the country, bi-coastal orientation, immigration battleground state, insurance against assassination, may be too polarizing
3. Kendrick Meek - Will divide Florida, capable, passionate, and youthful politician, insurance against assassination, supports embryonic stem cell research, supported by NEA 100%(education)
4. Ralph Nader - Probably the only person in this country on even keel with Barack as a worthy President, his passion and record are astonishing. He is a fair, reasonable, and socially liberal man who scares the crap out of Republicans. Strong environmentalist.
5. Al Gore - I know he wouldn't do it, but I'd love to have him back.
Honorable Mentions/Wish List:
1. Will Smith
