Oh! what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive! - Sir Walter Scott
In yet another one of those prolific Clinton back-stroke moves just after announcing to the world that the Clinton flip-flop express was running out of gas they are now congratulating themselves for raising $7.5 M since Feb. 1st. The bulk of which, they claim, came in after super duper Tuesday.
As with any crime scene investigation, in order to get to the truth we must establish the timeline of events. First they leak out that their top operatives are fixing to go on food-stamps and that Bhillary lent itself money. Then, Terry McAuliffe tells the press corps that everyone is getting paid. OK – which is it? Are you broke or not? What ever the illusive truth might be, one thing is clear: something strange happened on the way to Bhillary’s coronation. Either they had illusions of grandeur in their power of persuasion over the electorate and/or they can’t manage a lousy campaign budget (yet, they want to manage our country – no, thanks).
In order to get some perspective, I turned to this morning’s Politico.Com news update - www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8393.html - where Jeanne Cummings in her skewed piece writes, “…Clinton…will be soliciting cash at the same time Obama is expected to pocket some victories. …Mark Penn, Clinton’s strategist, acknowledged as much when he warned donors on the conference call that “we’ll have some difficult states in the next week or two.” This all reminds me of an ol’western flick where an American-Indian warrior quips something about speaking with a forked-tongue.
As with so many other Clinton fiascos, we might never know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Perhaps is time to have Bubba go on TV and declare, “I did not raise all the necessary money for…that woman…Hillary Rodham Clinton.” OK people, I don’t know about anyone else but I’m sick and tired of the Jerry-Springer-esque style of politics the Clintons have seemed to have perfected.
Its new day in America! 1980s politics just won’t do anymore. While the Clinton soap opera works feverishly on the next installment of “All My Spin Masters,” my friends and family will be sending in additional contributions to Obama. And, for good measure, just like we drove to Delaware to canvass for Super Tuesday, we’ll drive down to Maryland to canvass this weekend and through Tuesday’s primary.
As a friend once told me, “Politics is not a spectator sport – you gotta’ be in it to win it!”
What do you plan to do this weekend?

A couple of things have been troubling me of late. First, the concept of a split ticket involving HRC. Second, the notion coming out of the Hollywood debate, that the party has two exceptional candidates with very similar views and positions. Nothing could be further from the truth in my mind. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are Worlds apart on so many different levels. This website (link posted above and below) is a great tool for highlighting the case for Barack over Hillary. Please check it out and help get it some more exposure. Thanks!
A little over three weeks ago, Brandon Hurlbut showed up in Wilmington as the state director for the Obama Delaware campaign. It was a nice title, but he had no staff, no offices, and nowhere to stay. And the most recent poll in Delaware showed Hillary Clinton with a 24 point lead over Barack.
But what Brandon had was so much more important -- he had the help and support and enthusiasm of hundreds of dedicated volunteers in the state.
That contagious energy and enthusiasm led to the donation of our HQ office on Orange Street and our office opening party on January 19. It's what produced volunteers every single day who showed up to make phone calls. It's what kept our kitchen well-stocked with food. It's what drew 2,700 people to see Michelle in Wilmington and Dover, and what led 20,000 people to come out on a perfect Sunday afternoon to see Barack in Rodney Square. More importantly, that energy and enthusiasm is what led to an army of volunteers hitting the streets and phones on Election Day to get our supporters to the polls.
Last night, all of your efforts paid off. We won a decisive 11 point victory that demonstrated strength not only in New Castle County, but also Kent and Sussex Counties. We showed that Barack could attract not only African American voters in Wilmington, but also rural, white voters in the southern part of the state. This ability to put together a broad coalition of voters is the key to Barack becoming the Democratic nominee and the next President of the United States.
True to its motto of being the First State, Delaware led the way last night.
I'll post photos in the coming days, but I just wanted to thank everyone for what you've helped us accomplish. The entire campaign staff will be eternally grateful to all of you.
A year ago, Nicole was a community organizer in San Francisco. For six years, she worked at the grassroots level to help people improve their neighborhoods and communities. She didn’t get involved in national electoral politics – something about the process just turned her off.
Two days ago, Nicole stood on a stage in Wilmington, DE and rallied a crowd of 20,000 to vote for Barack. She had them take out their cell phones and call undecided voters. She told them the same thing she has been saying on the streets of San Francisco for half a decade: you have the power to change your world.
Today Nicole is back on the streets, urging voters to get to the polls.
Michelle at Delaware State University
It has been a big week for politics in Delaware. Last Thursday Michelle came and drew the biggest crowds she has ever drawn on the campaign trail. Nearly 3,000 people came out to hear her speak at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington and at Delaware State University in Dover.

Listening to Michelle in Wilmington
And Sunday Barack made history, when his speech in downtown Wilmington drew the largest crowd – over 20,000 people – in recent Delaware memory. People crowded in for blocks around Rodney Square to listen to his message of hope and change.
Barack was welcomed to the stage (after Nicole had made her pitch) by Delaware State Treasurer Jack Markell and Lieutenant Governor John Carney, who are currently running hard against each other for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. They showed grace and unity in raising their hands, together, for Barack.
Kayla, Ben and Reina arrive early to help organize the crowd
Delaware is known as the First State because it was the first to ratify the Constitution. Today, Nicole is doing everything she can to ensure that Delaware continues to embrace real change, and says to the world, “Yes We Can!”
Obama volunteers on election day in Wilmington, DE
Rep. Patrick Kennedy came to Wilmington today to meet with a group of seniors and Latino leaders. But he also came to canvass. After giving a pep talk to our staff and volunteers, he hit the streets. If he can do it, so can you.
Polls are open from 7 a.m., and we're not going to stop working until the polls close at 8 p.m. Even if you only have a few hours to spare, call HQ at 573-2540, and we'll send you to the office closest to you. Or if you'd rather cook, we need food at all of our offices. We've run a great campaign so far, but it won't mean anything if we don't get our supporters to the polls on Tuesday.

Former Clinton Administration official Greg Craig came to Wilmington today to campaign for Barack. Greg worked at the State Department under Secretary of State Albright and also coordinated President Clinton's impeachment case. He is a foreign policy advisor to the Obama campaign.
While in Wilmington, he spoke to students at Widener University and to local lawyers and business leaders. He stopped by HQ afterwards to give a pep talk to the staff.
"We are up against the idea that it's acceptable to say anything and do anything to win an election. We know that this is exactly what's wrong with our politics; this is why people don't believe what their leaders say anymore; this is why they tune out. And this election is our chance to give the American people a reason to believe again."Barack Obama's Victory Speech in South CarolinaObama for AmericaSunday, January 26, 2008Over two weeks ago, we saw the people of Iowa proclaim that our time for change has come. But there were those who doubted this country's desire for something new - who said Iowa was a fluke not to be repeated again.Well, tonight, the cynics who believed that what began in the snows of Iowa was just an illusion were told a different story by the good people of South Carolina.After four great contests in every corner of this country, we have the most votes, the most delegates, and the most diverse coalition of Americans we've seen in a long, long time.They are young and old; rich and poor. They are black and white; Latino and Asian. They are Democrats from Des Moines and Independents from Concord; Republicans from rural Nevada and young people across this country who've never had a reason to participate until now. And in nine days, nearly half the nation will have the chance to join us in saying that we are tired of business-as-usual in Washington, we are hungry for change, and we are ready to believe againBut if there's anything we've been reminded of since Iowa, it's that the kind of change we seek will not come easy. Partly because we have fine candidates in the field - fierce competitors, worthy of respect. And as contentious as this campaign may get, we have to remember that this is a contest for the Democratic nomination, and that all of us share an abiding desire to end the disastrous policies of the current administration.But there are real differences between the candidates. We are lookingfor more than just a change of party in the White House.
We're looking to fundamentally change the status quo in Washington - a status quo that extends beyond any particular party. And right now, that status quo is fighting back with everything it's got; with the same old tactics that divide and distract us from solving the problems people face, whether those problems are health care they can't afford or a mortgage they cannot pay.So this will not be easy. Make no mistake about what we're up against.We are up against the belief that it's ok for lobbyists to dominate our government - that they are just part of the system in Washington. But we know that the undue influence of lobbyists is part of the problem, and this election is our chance to say that we're not going to let them stand in our way anymore.We are up against the conventional thinking that says your ability to lead as President comes from longevity in Washington or proximity to the White House. But we know that real leadership is about candor, and judgment, and the ability to rally Americans from all walks of life around a common purpose - a higher purpose.We are up against decades of bitter partisanship that cause politicians to demonize their opponents instead of coming together to make college affordable or energy cleaner; it's the kind of partisanship where you're not even allowed to say that a Republican had an idea - even if it's one you never agreed with. That kind of politics is bad for our party, it's bad for our country, and this is our chance to end it once and for all.We are up against the idea that it's acceptable to say anything and do anything to win an election. We know that this is exactly what's wrong with our politics; this is why people don't believe what their leaders say anymore; this is why they tune out. And this election is our chance to give the American people a reason to believe again.And what we've seen in these last weeks is that we're also up against forces that are not the fault of any one campaign, but feed the habits that prevent us from being who we want to be as a nation. It's the politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon. A politics that tells us that we have to think, act, and even vote within the confines of the categories that supposedly define us. The assumption that young people are apathetic. The assumption that Republicans won't cross over. The assumption that the wealthy care nothing for the poor, and that the poor don't vote. The assumption that African-Americans can't support the white candidate; whites can't support the African-American candidate; blacks and Latinos can't come together.But we are here tonight to say that this is not the America we believe in. I did not travel around this state over the last year and see a white South Carolina or a black South Carolina. I saw South Carolina. I saw crumbling schools that are stealing the future of black children and white children. I saw shuttered mills and homes for sale that once belonged to Americans from all walks of life, and men and women of every color and creed who serve together, and fight together, and bleed together under the same proud flag. I saw what America is, and I believe in what this country can be.That is the country I see. That is the country you see. But now it is up to us to help the entire nation embrace this vision. Because in the end, we are not just up against the ingrained and destructive habits of Washington, we are also struggling against our own doubts, our own fears, and our own cynicism. The change we seek has always required great struggle and sacrifice. And so this is a battle in our own hearts and minds about what kind of country we want and how hard we're willing to work for it.So let me remind you tonight that change will not be easy. That change will take time. There will be setbacks, and false starts, and sometimes we will make mistakes. But as hard as it may seem, we cannot lose hope. Because there are people all across this country who are counting us; who can't afford another four years without health care or good schools or decent wages because our leaders couldn't come together and get it done.Theirs are the stories and voices we carry on from South Carolina.The mother who can't get Medicaid to cover all the needs of her sick child - she needs us to pass a health care plan that cuts costs and makes health care available and affordable for every single American.The teacher who works another shift at Dunkin Donuts after school just to make ends meet - she needs us to reform our education system so that she gets better pay, and more support, and her students get the resources they need to achieve their dreams.The Maytag worker who is now competing with his own teenager for a $7- an-hour job at Wal-Mart because the factory he gave his life to shut its doors - he needs us to stop giving tax breaks to companies that ship our jobs overseas and start putting them in the pockets of working Americans who deserve it. And struggling homeowners. And seniors who should retire with dignity and respect.The woman who told me that she hasn't been able to breathe since the day her nephew left for Iraq, or the soldier who doesn't know his child because he's on his third or fourth tour of duty - they need us to come together and put an end to a war that should've never been authorized and never been waged.The choice in this election is not between regions or religions or genders. It's not about rich versus poor; young versus old; and it is not about black versus white.It's about the past versus the future.It's about whether we settle for the same divisions and distractions and drama that passes for politics today, or whether we reach for a politics of common sense, and innovation - a shared sacrifice and shared prosperity.There are those who will continue to tell us we cannot do this. That we cannot have what we long for. That we are peddling false hopes.But here's what I know. I know that when people say we can't overcome all the big money and influence in Washington, I think of the elderly woman who sent me a contribution the other day - an envelope that had a money order for $3.01 along with a verse of scripture tucked inside. So don't tell us change isn't possible.When I hear the cynical talk that blacks and whites and Latinos can't join together and work together, I'm reminded of the Latino brothers and sisters I organized with, and stood with,and fought with side by side for jobs and justice on the streets of Chicago.
So don't tell us change can't happen.When I hear that we'll never overcome the racial divide in our politics, I think about that Republican woman who used to work for Strom Thurmond, who's now devoted to educating inner-city children and who went out onto the streets of South Carolina and knocked on doors for this campaign. Don't tell me we can't change.Yes we can change.Yes we can heal this nation.Yes we can seize our future.And as we leave this state with a new wind at our backs, and take this journey across the country we love with the message we've carried from the plains of Iowa to the hills of New Hampshire; from the Nevada desert to the South Carolina coast; the same message we had when we were up and when we were down - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope; and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people in three simple words:Yes. We. Can.

Obama Statement on 35th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade Decision
CHICAGO, IL- Senator Barack Obama today released the following statement on the 35th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.
"Thirty-five years after the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade, it’s never been more important to protect a woman’s right to choose. Last year, the Supreme Court decided by a vote of 5-4 to uphold the Federal Abortion Ban, and in doing so undermined an important principle of Roe v. Wade: that we must always protect women’s health. With one more vacancy on the Supreme Court, we could be looking at a majority hostile to a women’s fundamental right to choose for the first time since Roe v. Wade. The next president may be asked to nominate that Supreme Court justice. That is what is at stake in this election. Throughout my career, I’ve been a consistent and strong supporter of reproductive justice, and have consistently had a 100% pro-choice rating with Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America. "When South Dakota passed a law banning all abortions in a direct effort to have Roe overruled, I was the only candidate for President to raise money to help the citizens of South Dakota repeal that law. When anti-choice protesters blocked the opening of an Illinois Planned Parenthood clinic in a community where affordable health care is in short supply, I was the only candidate for President who spoke out against it. And I will continue to defend this right by passing the Freedom of Choice Act as president.
Moreover, I believe in and have supported common-sense solutions like increasing access to affordable birth control to help prevent unintended pregnancies. In the Illinois state Senate, when Congress failed to require insurance plans to cover FDA-approved contraceptives, I made sure those contraceptives were covered for women in Illinois. In the U.S. Senate, I've worked with Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) on a bill that would make birth control more affordable for low-income and college women, and introduced the Senate version of Representative Hilda Solis’ bill to reduce unintended pregnancies in communities of color. As President, I will improve access to affordable health care and work to ensure that our teens are getting the information and services they need to stay safe and healthy.
But we also know that Roe v. Wade is about more than a woman’s right to choose; it’s about equality. It’s about whether our daughters are going to have the same opportunities as our sons. And so to truly honor that decision, we need to update the social contract so that women can free themselves, and their children, from violent relationships; so that a mom can stay home with a sick child without getting a pink slip; so that she can go to work knowing that there’s affordable, quality childcare for her children; and so that the American dream is within reach for every family in this country. This anniversary reminds us that it’s not enough to protect the gains of the past – we have to build a future that’s filled with hope and possibility for all Americans."
The Delaware campaign took part in several events around the state to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Over the weekend, supporters marched in parades in Dover and Lewes. Today, we had volunteers handing out buttons and bumper stickers at a celebration in Seaford, as well as a 800-person breakfast in Wilmington. We also signed up 68 new volunteers at the Wilmington breakfast.
Also, I wanted to make sure everyone saw Barack's statement on this important occasion: "On this Martin Luther King Day, we still face too many barriers to justice and equality in this country. To tear them down, Americans need to come together. In Dr. King's words, 'unity is the great need of the hour.' But what makes it particularly difficult to come together is that we have a politics that seeks to drive us apart. We are told that those who differ from us on a few things are different from us on all things; that our problems are the fault of those who don't think like us or look like us or come from where we do. This kind of divisive politics distracts us from the common challenges we face - war and poverty; injustice and inequality. But while the critical first step toward coming together is changing our hearts and minds, we cannot stop there. It is not enough to bemoan the plight of poor children in this country and remain unwilling to push our elected officials to provide the resources to fix our schools. It is not enough to decry the disparities of health care and yet allow the insurance companies and the drug companies to block much-needed reforms. It is not enough for us to abhor the costs of a misguided war, and yet allow ourselves to be driven by a politics of fear that sees the threat of attack as a way to scare up votes instead of a call to come together around a common effort. If we are to truly bring about the unity that is so crucial in this time, we must find it within ourselves to act on what we know; and to understand that living up to this country's ideals and its possibilities will require great effort and resources; sacrifice and stamina. That is Dr. King's vision, and that is the legacy we honor today."
If you have time to lend a hand, our headquarters office is open everyday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. We're located at 1201 N. Orange Street, Suite 900, in Wilmington. Our phone number is 573-2540. Please stop by!
We are coming together because we believe in what this country can be.
Things do not change, we change. ~Henry David ThoreauEducation is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. ~Nelson Mandela And so we shall have to do more than register and more than vote; we shall have to create leaders who embody virtues we can respect,who have moral and ethical principles we can applaud with enthusiasm. ~Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?, 1967
In the face of war we believe there can be peace. In the face of despair we believe there can be hope. In the face of a politics that's shut us out, that's told us to settle, that's divided us for too long, we believe we can be one people reaching for what is possible.
~Barack Obama

Hello Team,
Barack has given us Hope - Now it is time to give something back!
Barack Obama has hundreds of thousands of people that have contributed to his campaign thus far. Imagine if 100,000 of them all contributed on one day - or even more than that.. What if we could raise 5 or 10 million dollars in one day?
Imagine if on November 15th Barack has an amazing showing in the next debate. With all of the news stations covering his performance, then we raise this unprecedented amount - making all the headlines around the country.
With a good debate and an unprecedented raising of funds all in one day, it could be enough to propel Barack to the presidency. We could begin the process of restoring unity in our country. Most of all, we can restore Hope.
On November 16th, 2007, or what now is known as "Barack's Friday" contribute every dollar you can. More importantly, forward this information to all of your friends and relatives. Make your voice heard!
I know it is a stretch goal for most of us.
Not an impossible one, but certainly audacious.

"[T]he most persuasive case for Obama has less to do with him than with the moment he is meeting. The moment has been a long time coming, and it is the result of a confluence of events, from one traumatizing war in Southeast Asia to another in the most fractious country in the Middle East. The legacy is a cultural climate that stultifies our politics and corrupts our discourse. Obama’s candidacy in this sense is a potentially transformational one. Unlike any of the other candidates, he could take America—finally—past the debilitating, self-perpetuating family quarrel of the Baby Boom generation that has long engulfed all of us. So much has happened in America in the past seven years, let alone the past 40, that we can be forgiven for focusing on the present and the immediate future. But it is only when you take several large steps back into the long past that the full logic of an Obama presidency stares directly—and uncomfortably—at you. At its best, the Obama candidacy is about ending a war—not so much the war in Iraq, which now has a momentum that will propel the occupation into the next decade—but the war within America that has prevailed since Vietnam and that shows dangerous signs of intensifying, a nonviolent civil war that has crippled America at the very time the world needs it most. It is a war about war—and about culture and about religion and about race. And in that war, Obama—and Obama alone—offers the possibility of a truce." - Andrew Sullivan
