I thought it was good to see how few votes McCain recieved compared to Obama and Clinton.
Could this mean Republicans were crossing over just to keep Hillary in the race,
or does it show that nobody in Pa. wants to see McCain in the White House?
If the 8.6% spread stands I feel it is acceptable margin. For the sake of our Country we must
move on and campaign hard in the final States.
The following link takes you to an interview of Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now.
He gives a good review of the debate and analyzes the MSM's journalistic tactics.
Great song "Empire" by Dar Williams just after i the nterview too. :)
Dan I can see this being a great song for a mashup.

This is a link to the Seattle PI online article concerning the remarks made at a private fundraising dinner in San Francisco, Sunday April 7th. Remember, stay Involved, stay Positive, and keep Informed!

One of Clinton's staunchest supporters, Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., acknowledged there was some truth in Obama's remarks. But he said Republicans would use them against him anyway.
There has been a small "political flare-up because I said something that everybody knows is true, which is that there are a whole bunch of folks in small towns in Pennsylvania, in towns right here in Indiana, in my hometown in Illinois, who are bitter," Obama said Saturday morning at a town hall-style meeting at Ball State University in Muncie, Ind. "They are angry. They feel like they have been left behind. They feel like nobody is paying attention to what they're going through.
"So I said, well you know, when you're bitter you turn to what you can count on. So people, they vote about guns, or they take comfort from their faith and their family and their community. And they get mad about illegal immigrants who are coming over to this country."
After acknowledging his previous remarks in California could have been better phrased, he added:
"The truth is that these traditions that are passed on from generation to generation, those are important. That's what sustains us. But what is absolutely true is that people don't feel like they are being listened to."
Thanks to Phil from Canada for this link.
With hours spent questioning Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker what did we finally find out?
Let's hope Ambassador Crocker heeds Barack's advice and begins the diplomatic surge with Iran immediately.

Yes We Can ... one link at a time

Link on!

Old Dem from NJ,Thanks for the link. This looks like an excellent site as you said. With the Democratic Parties' super delegate add ons now in the mix this source will very helpful.This democratic party does seem a bit convoluted to me. At our district's legislative caucus yesterday in Wa. some brought up the possibility of ending the super delegates' voting privilages altogether. As I understand the history of their genesis it seems they were added to counter weight the '60s anti-war movements activist's popular vote and ensure representation of the established leadership so they could help craft the party platform too.It seems to me that the way these "poobahs" are being spun by most media makes them seem like they aren't just above the fray, but reside on Mt. Olympus to boot.To assume they would be responsive to their constituencies' will doesn't seem like it's too much to ask does it?
This community blog is for all you wonderful bloggers who search believing there will be an answer.
Since I am a two-finger typist my posts will consist largely of links I have found informative and helpful in fleshing out the current blog topics.
Occasionally I may rant, or include posts to specific individuals in the MSM who have begged to be called out because of their propaganda or spreading of misinformation
My first link deals with the Mark Penn/ Columbian ambassador news of 4-5 2008. This will take you to Muckety.com which has an interesting interactive map that illustrates the many Clinton/ Mark Penn relationships.
