DeathWatch is down to 9.6%, and here is an excellent quote from the attached Slate article:

"On Saturday, Clinton compared the race to a basketball game: "You know, we are in the fourth quarter and it is a close contest. We are running up and down. We are taking shots." The metaphor would work if she mentioned that Obama is up by 124 points, he has the ball, and Clinton has been missing shots all quarter. All she has now is hustle."

By Benjamin Vos, Nashville Mar 31st 2008 at 9:47 pm EDT

actually, the new Gallup poll says it's at 8 points, but still, that's pretty awesome. We've been doing well over the past week.

And the word from Ben Smith of Politico is that Obama tends to do worse in polls at the beginning of the week, and better at the end of the week.

No she is still 10% down, actually the trend is upward and she probably will be about 15% dowm tomorrow or the daa after.

I think the campaign should find a way to compile our comments. I have the hardest time finding a post after I have written it. I think the webmaster should just compile our comments so they can be accessed from our dashboard. I know this can be done because John Edwards did it on his site.

BLOGMEISTERS: Can't you make the list of postings on the Dashboard linked to the actual postings??

Obama family,

Poll numbers are not a reliable measure of the work our campaign is doing, what's great is the many first time visitors to the website stopping by to get to know our candidate and where he stands on the issues in the wake of great super delegate news from MN and this Road for Change in PA, so brace yourselves!

Remember,

Persuade and earn.

PERSUADE AND EARN.

Speak to Barack's character, integrity, honesty, position on issues, ability to draw bi-partisan support, rejection of an agenda set by lobbyists/PAC'S, change from divisive DC politics, establish a new direction for foreign policy etc.

If you welcome all people of any age, gender, race, ethnicity, faith/religion, party affiliation or presidential campaign asking sincere questions about Barack, his candidacy and clarification on his positions on the issues because questions are the only way we can get informed, gain knowledge and get educated.

Give here Link

If you reject visitors who abuse, use insults or pejorative talk, or false and misleading statements passed as fact, or veiled distortion in a bid to attack and deride Barack or his supporters (such visitors are aka trolls).

Give here Link

If you reject the manner in which these trolls disrupt and divide by engaging in spreading fear, suspicion and hatred.

Give here Link

Thank you everyone!

Support Barack’s new dawn for the politics of the future, won‘t you join us? Link

My goal ($2195) centers on my husband and the brave men and women of the US Armed Services. I'd like 100 people to donate $21.95 in honor of a member of the United States Armed Services. Additionally, I'd like to compose a list of all the brave men and women honored by your donations. Please send me the name of the US Service man or woman that you’d like to honor.

Even though we have less than one hour before the deadline, I am still extremely hopeful that this goal will be met---only $634 left.

Through an "event", I am seeking the support of Massachusetts 5th Congressional District residents as I pursue election as a District Delegate for Senator Barack Obama in a strongly Clinton-held district. The event link is:

Link

Delegates will be elected at caucuses being held on Saturday, April 5th, 2008. If you reside in the Massachusetts 5th Congressional District (you live in one of the towns listed below), and would be willing to support my candidacy, I would be most grateful if you would sign-up for this event and attend the 5th Congressional District DNC Delegate Caucus for Senator Barack Obama beginning at 1:00 pm on Saturday, April 5th at:

Tewksbury High School (in the Auditorium)
320 Pleasant St.
Tewksbury, MA 01876-2799

I am eager to be a delegate for Senator Barack Obama because he offers an approach to governing that is both totally inclusive and relies upon us, as Americans, to work with our government and each other. His speeches are punctuated by the use of the term “we”, as in his trademark declaration "Yes We Can!”. In Senator Obama we have a leader who not only personifies the concept of a “servant leader”, but also encourages each of us (and really expects us) to find that same kind of person inside ourselves.

Many thanks for your support and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

Make a contribution in memory of a beloved veteran who has past away, or as a tribute to a friend or family member that continues his/her battle of recovery.

Help honor our brave veterans who have given so much to ensure our freedoms!

Barack Obama has shown his respect and admiration for veterans by fighting to ensure that those hospitalized receive the best care this great nation is capable of giving. Barack Obama recognizes that this effort must be a priority of our next President and promises it will be.

Yours struck me because of the Disabled Vet Cause. My Dad was a WWII Vet - Omaha Beach - He was wounded, Purple Heart, and was considerd to be Disabled his entire life. He lived and worked hard for his family with shrapnel in his body and a metal plate in his head. He passed away in 1990 at the age of 72. I've supported Disabled Vets all my adult life. Now, I can do it for them, and for Barack!

Re: A Dude for Obama | Report to Admin

By Arthur Apr 1st 2008 at 1:54 am EDT

O.K. Hillary It's the fourth quarter but you forgot to mention the score and the fact that there are only seconds left in the game. A game that you can't win with lies that has your opponent standing at the free throw line sinking basket after basket with assist from your bench of miscues. Despite the media's rhetoric that you still have some sort of chance of winning this game, mathmatically there is no way to overcome Obama's lead. The game has been over since Texas and Ohio voted and the only reason why you are still on the court is due to a NAFTA lie that the media helped you with. Florida and Michigan are out of it due to their own fault and as you know the rules of the game cannot be changed, especially towards the end of the game. You can say that you have been fouled by Obama, the media, and the skeletons in your closet but the reality is that you must first know a thing or two about sportmanship and honesty.

I'll tell you how long Hillary will stay in the race ... until

-- everyone is dead and she has enough breath to take one last look at the score;
-- until she convinces the entire universe that the sky is green and the grass is blue;
-- until some serious health problem occurs (God forbid);
-- until hell freezes over
Why?
She is a 5-headed Scorpion - they do everything to the death, even if those 5 stingers swipe them in the process and everyone crashes & burns. Honestly, this is not all joke - Scorpions do everything to the death ... like the Black Knight of the Holy Grail ... even under the ground they will still try to reach out and fight.

This is a good analysis of the basketball analogy. Experts have said that Hillary's chances of winning are around 5%. Would a sane person undergo an operation if the doctor said you only had a 5% chance of surviving it? To me, this speaks to her lack of judgement! Being the "first woman president" is not a life or death issue. There are a lot of things she could be 1st in, like VP. Unfortunately, she has little chance of pulling off that one, either!

Re: 1? | Report to Admin

By Brad C from MI Mar 31st 2008 at 11:35 pm EDT

The ACT and SAT are comparable college entrance exams. Unlike SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test), ACT is not officially an acronym; however, the original name of the company that produces the ACT was American College Testing Program, Inc. and seems the likely source of the name.

Re: 1? | Report to Admin

By Laurence Sigmond Mar 31st 2008 at 11:57 pm EDT

ACT originally stood for "American College Testing," but now like ATT or IBM it is just ACT (an alternative to the SAT).

Also "America Coming Together" was the largest 527 group in the country in 2004 with almost 100 offices and tens of thousands of paid and unpaid workers oriented mostly to get out the vote.

I hope to be writing more "on topic" messages about the campaign in Philadelphia and two nearby suburbs. As in most other places, I'm sure, we have a lot of activities outside the "official" campaign among progressive political groups, Philly for Change and Neighborhood Networks and by the campaigns of local candidates.

Obama wins most Texas delegates | Report to Admin

By James Brown.....Proudly Voted For President Obama ! Mar 31st 2008 at 9:23 pm EDT

Mon Mar 31, 3:58 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Sen. Barack Obama has won the overall delegate race in Texas thanks to a strong showing in Democratic county conventions this past weekend.
Obama picked up seven of nine outstanding delegates, giving him a total of 99 Texas delegates to the party's national convention this summer. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won the other two, giving her a total of 94 Texas delegates, according to an analysis of returns by The Associated Press.
Texas Democrats held both a presidential primary and caucus. Clinton narrowly won the popular vote in the state's primary March 4, earning her 65 national convention delegates to Obama's 61.
Precinct caucuses began immediately after polls closed primary night and quickly devolved into chaos in many parts of the state because of an unprecedented turnout of more than 1 million Democrats. The state party was never able to provide complete results from the caucuses, which is why the AP withheld nine delegates.
The precinct caucuses elected delegates to about 280 county and state senate district conventions on Saturday. The AP awarded the remaining delegates based on results from Saturday's conventions, showing Obama with about 58 percent of vote, compared to 42 percent for Clinton.
Obama won 38 delegates through the caucus/convention system, and Clinton won 29.
The final delegate allocation will be decided at the party's state convention June 6-7, and the numbers could change if either campaign is unable to maintain the level of support they had over the weekend.
Obama leads the overall race for the Democratic nomination with 1,631 delegates, including separately chosen party and elected officials known as superdelegates. Clinton has 1,501, according to the latest AP tally.

Camille, Biden is another Senator, so that won't go. Also, he's a part of the Inside-the-Beltway incestuous political milieu.

I'm wanting someone outside, probable a governor, i.e. someone with executive experience at a high political level. Richardson would be my first choice because of that, but also because of his various backgrounds including diplomatic affairs at the UN and his various international trips.

I hope BO will get out of that tired old political trap of "balancing with a foreign policy running mate". Unless, of coursae, foreign policy is re-designated as diplomatic affairs as opposed to military affairs.

Biden's problems:

[2] like most senators -- Obama's an exception -- he talks too much. That is: his signal to snooze ratio is low.

[3] Doesn't bring in folks who might not otherwise vote for Obama

Sen. Biden's a great Senator. But he wouldn't make a good running mate for BHO.

Re: GO PA | Report to Admin

By Time Words Mar 31st 2008 at 9:29 pm EDT

Interesting take on Edwards....

Since then, Obama's obviously become the favorite to win the Democratic nomination, which has changed Edwards's calculus. The risk is no longer endorsing a guy who may lose. (At least in the primaries.) It's that you won't get credit for helping Obama win. Endorsing Obama at this point would basically mean jumping on a bandwagon, and there's no percentage in that. So I'm guessing Edwards is biding his time until there's a moment when his endorsement would matter--for example, when it could help bump Hillary from the race. (Say, after a loss in the North Carolina primary.)

For what it's worth, I do agree with Heilemann that the problem for Democrats who want the primary over soon is that there just isn't anyone out there with the stature or credibility to tell Hillary to quit. That is, except for her own supporters. Which, as Heilemann says, could be the ones who ultimately nudge her aside.

According to the newest polls reported on CNN and MSNBC, we are 12 points down. Is it less than that? Are there some white males who are thinking about checking out Obama?

BTW, in NC, there is almost a virtual tie for the youth vote. We cannot let that go b/c then it will translate into them digging into our base.

This is a perfect example of why everyone should do a gut check now and then. It's easy to lose objectivity and start trading in hypocrisy. The hardest thing is to really KNOW yourself. Carville has evidently lost himself.
Barack has shown that he is capable of periodic self examination - and if he forgets we can be sure Michelle will remind him!

Re: Carville | Report to Admin

By Corey Mar 31st 2008 at 11:26 pm EDT

You were fooled. Democrats have made careers out of painting themselves as "champions of the people". I've had my fill of the dems since about 2001-- when they started spreading a lot of lies I couldn't ignore, having been paying close attention since '92 or so.

Barack is the only thing that pulls me out of independent-land, until he becomes president at least-- then I can go back to dissociating myself from the DNC.

Republicans aren't the problem, political parties are the problem, if you think one side is better than the other, you're only getting half of the facts.

And that's why I support Obama-- I honestly feel that he is the first free-thinking Dem or Rep who has had a real shot at anything in a very long time. Not to mention, he's the first politician to communicate the issues so well as to actually cause me to rethink my own thinking, and that is exactly what we need as a leader.

Obama/Hagel - that would be unstoppable!!!

I think it would be a huge mistake to vote for McCain should Hillary should Hillary find a way to manipulate this nomination process. I also think it would be hypocritical for us to vote for her based on party loyalty. Her character and the baggage that shadow the Clintons are not representative of what we need in a leader. Anyone who would vote for her based on party loyalty should really think hard on this one. This campaign should not be based on party, but rather character and leadership (two qualities she can never acquire). With all that said, I remain confident that Barack will be the nominee and our next president.

On a side note, I was musing today that Hillary supporters may be going through the first stages of grief right now, which may explain their anger. The anger is somewhat misplaced considering that it has been Clinton's missteps that have caused her approval ratings to drop.

The stages are:
Denial: "It can't be happening."
Anger: "Why me? It's not fair."
Bargaining: "Just let me live to see my children graduate."
Depression: "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"
Acceptance: "It's going to be OK."

By IA for Obama ☮ Mar 31st 2008 at 10:23 pm EDT

I hear you, meta. But since it's not just riling up the blog, but to be sent on to the DNC, I'll play.

Some seriously sketchy stuff would have to happen for that to be the outcome of this primary season. Stuff that would probably be sufficient in itself to not vote for her. But playing along with the hypothetical, and further stretching credulity by allowing for the possibility that she won it fair and square . . .

If Barack asked that we vote for her, I would listen to what he had to say. And if other good leaders did the same, I would listen to what they had to say. But I honestly cannot imagine them saying anything so convincing that I would be moved to overcome my absolute rejection of her approach to politics and government, my feelings of complete betrayal as I witnessed her exploit our nation's deepest wounds in order to scare up votes, my utter conviction that she represents so much of what is wrong with our country and our politics today.

I can answer unequivocally that I would never vote for McCain. And I honestly don't see how anyone who supports Barack could, though I know many good people would. McCain represents Bush's 3rd term. He may be an honorable person, but he stands for virtually everything I believe this campaign to be fighting against. The only argument that I could envision holding any merit for voting for HRC, should all these hypotheticals come to pass, is that she would presumably be the best bet of stopping McCain.

Only thing is, though, I don't think she is much different from McCain. Like him, she's far too cavalier when it comes to war. Not only would she continue failed policies in Iraq, but she would be all too willing to start new failures in Iran and who knows where else. Like McCain and Bush, she favors the wealthy over regular folks, corporations over citizens. I might agree with her more on issues concerning women's rights and education, but the fact of the matter is I trust her even less than I trust McCain. So both McCain and HRC are utterly unacceptable options for me. If those were my only two "official" options, I would write in Barack.

What a nightmare! Let's keep working our everythings off so that doesn't happen!

No, I would vote for McCain.

1. How someone runs their campaign is an indicator as to how they would run the country. (see my blog)
2. H. Clinton has shown again and again she has trouble maintaining contact with reality -- a very dangerous trait in a President.

I would then spend the next four years working to defeat every superdelegate who supported her and helping every one who supported Barack. I would join with others to do this.

Yes, although we would not want to, We Must! We cannot vote for McCain or just stay silent and take the chance of 4 more years of Bush. If we don't vote, all that Barack helped to ignite would be lost.

If HRC gets the nod, we've got to swallow the nasty pill with a bit of sugar, and push her a$$ to do the hard work that Barack would have done for us and our country! We will become even more responsible for staying involved and holding HRC's feet to the fire so that all of our HOPE and HARD WORK is not set on a backroom shelf to just collect dust!

When these races first started I would have voted for either candidate.

For the first time in my voting life I would be able to vote FOR a candidate I believe in. After the 3 a.m. ad and the shame on you and the lies and whatever, I have no clue how I could live with myself. I am heartbroken to think that all my years of "Get Out The Vote" work would be summed up on my staying home if she were the nominee. I cannot stand her tactics, I am not sure I could hold my nose and vote for her anyway. I just don't think I could stay home and end up with a man who is making serious arguments for not only staying in Iraq but going into Iran as well. How have any of your lives been in the past 7+ years? I don't think it would be much better with HRC, but it surely couldn't be as bad as another Bush term in McCain. It can't happen!!! NO!~ It isn't just what is happening in our nation, its how the world sees us. I can't imagine what the terrorists would do if we actually voted in another Bush term.

I pledged that if it were Hillary I would try to start over and reassess both her and McCain... but I long ago abandoned my intention to try and convince my Republican husband to vote for her, and I think he might be quite successful bringing me over to McCain. Here are two articles that he directed me to today, which are appalling. My husband and my sister were very involved in helping a Bosnian refugee who lost her husband, her unborn baby, two brothers and one of her arms in Sarajevo tell her story to the world and publish it it a book. If Hitchen's story is correct, Hillary is partly responsible.

Second one is about the absolutely cynical race strategy deployed in this campaign.

McCain, for all his faults, has a moral compass. Hillary seems to be prone to romantic war fantasies, like a 14-year-old boy, and coupled with no moral center this worries me even more than McCain's quest for "victory".

For a refresher of what this campaign is about start with his announcement speech on Feb 12, 2007. Then watch NEw Hampshire & South Carolina, finish it off with his speech at MLK's church.

The Clinton's motto of 'anything goes' for this campaign shows that they really don't understand what the American people need or want after eight years of the Bush administration.

I think some of us are tired of being divided. I think that we have had enough of politicians who believe in 'anything goes' 'kitchen-sink' politics. The Clintons want to 'fight' and seem to believe that it is fun and necessary for a political campaign. It's not fun. It is old - and as we all have seen - the Clinton's 'style' hasn't gotten us very far, has it?

Hillary failed to prepare for the contest because she apparently believed that she would win before the contest even got started. She obviously does not believe that she can compete or win without the help of her husband and they are running two-for-one against Mr. Obama. She looks weak and dependent as an individual and as a candidate - and their 'two-fer' campaign attacks - have been unfair from the beginning.

It is sad that she did not know that she could do this - on her own. Our next president - must be able to stand - alone - when he or she - is expected to make a decision. She does not seem to have any confidence - in her own abilities - that is, in her ability to accomplish anything - without her husband. If she did - she would have left Bill - at home - and campaigned for this nomination - by herself.

No - to the idea of voting for any individual who is so out of touch with what this country needs after Bush and after 9/11. 'More of the same' - won't help us now.

No - to electing a president who had anything to do with starting the war in Iraq.

No - to the idea of voting for Hillary - even if Mr. Obama asked me to do it. As an American and as a woman - I could not vote for her.

I was watching MSNBC today, and what were they doing? They were showing Barack over and over rolling a gutterball ... and laughing about it! Can you believe this? What do you think they said? "What a great guy, he has the courage to get out there and try something new, that he's not really good at ..." NOT! They said, "Mr. Obama should NOT be doing something he has no skill at, he should have played basketball instead!"

Give me a break here! Never try something new, even if there ARE a million people watching? I though it took great courage for Obama to get out there on the lanes KNOWING darn well he was going to struggle with it. I notice he is left handed? Did I see that correctly? They even went so far as to say, "I'll bet Hillary could beat him at bowling." And then they said, "What do you think would draw a greater audience, a debate or Hillary vs Obama in a bowling match?"

I am a bowler myself, and Barack's form is pretty good. He just has to learn how the pendulum works and he will be throwing strikes in no time! He could easily apply his basketball skills to bowling, believe it or not there are similarities.

I think he was thinking that he was going to do something he hasn't done in over 30 years. I thought it was great. The "Altoona Massacre" will go down in history.

We're electing a commander in chief, not a bowler in chief.

After January 20, he'll have time to practice in the White House bowling alley.

Yes, we all should keep in mind that all candidates do these light hearted appearances and it does settle the negative rhetoric down. I believe the hillary camp and the surrogates are just upset that they do not have the money to travel around and to mingle with the every class of our society. Obama has all the tools needed for this race and history and the experts have commentated on these tools in all of the presidential races but all of a sudden they are acting like the fact that Obama stopped at a bowling alley, bar, and farm/barn, and has the money to do so is all of a sudden unfair. Obama knows when to spend and when to tighten up and he knows that Pennsylvania is a reason to spend.

Hopefully his spending wisely will continue especially after the March donations are reported.

DaveJ, are you good at everything your try? We are not all blessed to be good at bowling. My husband's average is 289 and let me tell you, he became that good after years of bowling in many leagues. I bowled as well, but my average was 151. Now I was not even close to his skills, but my form was much better, soooooooo I looked GOOD!!!!

Not everyone is meant to be a great bowler and that's not the requirement for becoming the next US President. I think he was having fun and that's really what matters, wouldn't you agree?

The whole point was to get on the ground and meet some people and come to wear the people live that whats important to him.

He is real and did not have to work up snipper fire to feel that he has he capable of being viewd as the next POTUS.

Well, I think the bigger point is, if he didn't "roll up his sleeves" in some way in PA, they would accuse him of alienating the white collar folks again. No matter which way that went he would have some spin on his efforts in PA. I think he's doing the right thing. I wish he'd go to a factory and wear some jeans and talk to those workers about what change he is going to bring to them. He started out working with people just like them and I think he should emphasize that. Having said all this though, I think his campaign managers are the best I've ever seen so I feel no real concern over whatever decisions they are making.

I agree this is good for him. the media cannot be trusted to predict whats going to be happen. Remember they were the same ones crowning Hillary as the presumptive nominee and when she didnt win Iowa they ditched her, and started acting like they were being fair all along.

Obamas lack of bowling skills highlights his down to earth-ness. Im sure he knew he couldnt bowl, but he still did it. He is willing to take on challenges even during campaign. He shows he can make fun of himself and this kind of thing brings him down to earth with the regular guy. He looks real. People relate to real.

I agree with you, Leo. I think it's great that Barack went bowling even if he's not yet good at it, for many of the reasons you mentioned. Besides, maybe I spend too much time with the 5 and under crowd, but I thought the purpose was to have fun and maybe even learn something. Looked to me like he was having fun. And very few of us would have the courage to do anything we weren't skilled at in front of all those cameras, when we're running for national office.

I missed all the hullabaloo, as I don't watch MSM, and the only take I had on it was the blog. What you describe is more of the reason I don't watch MSM.

Btw, Barack is left-handed.

I think it's great to try something new, to try to master a new skill. I think Barack Obama could be considered a modern day Renaissance Man. I mean, I don't know if he paints or plays a musical instrument, but he is a scholar, writer, orator, statesman, and a bit of an athlete as the images in this video show. And he does look like he had a good time, doesn't it?

I think it was all ib good fun. He needed to lighten up the PA race a bit. Sometimes in order to get attention you have to have people look at you with new eyes. He will do something that is American. Drink a beer. That's what people in PA might want to see. That is apparently what happened in Iowa. They got to know him as a person, then they started listening.

Like Jedimaster says below me, the crowd was really excited, especially when Barack finally came out! Seeing him live is such an incredible experience, but talking to the other people there was really cool too.

While waiting in line I spoke with a man who has lived in Bethlehem his entire life, he is 78 years old and has been canvassing Bethlehem in support of Barack. He said he's only had one negative response (from a Republican). He also told me about his 1o year old grandson who has researched and decided all on his own that he is an Obama fan. The grandson even bought Obama bumper stickers online. I really enjoyed the story and I hope that when his grandson finally gets to vote, Barack Obama will have turned our country in the right direction!

I was at the Muhlenburg College rally in Allentown, PA today.

It was a all day drizzle while waiting outside for over an hour toget in, but that didn't dampen our spirits. After going through metal detectors and searches, we entered into the Memrial hall/gymnasium of Muhlenburg College. The crowd was about 4,000+ and was full of energy. While the crowd was waiting (Barack was about 45 mins. late on stage) we chanted and got a good 'wave' going around a few times.

When Barack finally got on stage the crowd was so energized and loud. It was awesome!

Barack's speech was the 'stump', but he tweaked it a little with new phrases and comments. The crowd was so accepting and welcoming, full of students, babies, white, black, brown, old, young,....all little pieces of America.

I have seen Barack many times on TV, live feeds, and Youtube...but there is NOTHING like seeing him live on stage!

I think that it's the wrong Hillary question. All of us far prefer Hillary's domestic policies to McCain's, and many of us would vote for Hillary over McCain despite our disgust with the way she has campaigned.

These are the right questions:

1) At this point, if Hillary eventually became the nominee would you feel that her nomination was legitimate?

2) At this point, if Hillary eventually became the president would you feel that her presidency was legitimate?

Hello,
I am new to posting but read everyday and appreciate those of you who have built this community -
I have been thinking about this a lot - I agree with most of you that at the beginning, I would have been happy to vote for either Hillary or Barack in the GE but I have been more and more disgusted with Hillary AND Bill during this entire process. I have conversations with my husband everyday about voting for McCain if Hillary was to somehow sleaze her way into winning.
HOWEVER, I also have a boy and a girl and they make me think about two things - a potential draft to fight the republicans wars and an ultra conservative supreme court. Thinking of voting for Hillary and the validation that would bring to her type of campaign makes me sick, but looking at my children and imaging their future if the Republicans continue the policies of Bush/Cheney is worse.
Please, please, please do not vote for McCain. I seriously doubt even Hillary will be able to steal this campaign, but if she does, we all need to remind ourselves of what the past 7 years have been like.
PS - I noticed when I "previewed" my comment, tha it says unregistered... as I said, I'm new to this and thought I entered all my personal info and preferences... I'll look into it, but please don't make disparaging comments about me - I'm not a troll

Hello BO-Folks:

Just another reminder about the Postcards to PA and use this for the updated address.

Remember send them in by April 7th!

Pass on the Hope... NOTE there is a New Address To Send Postcards.

You are invited to join women volunteers across the US in writing postcards to women in Pennsylvania that asks for their vote for Barack Obama. The goal is to write at least 100,000 postcards by April 7th - together we can achieve this goal!

If you want to participate or if your want to help coordinate postcard writing in your area, send us an e-mail at talisa_sheppard@myway.com or you may call us toll free at 800-557-6196

Here is how to participate in 3 easy steps:
STEP ONE: Individually or with other women in your community, purchase 10 or more postcards for each of you to write along with post card stamps. If possible, purchase postcards that represent your city or state.
STEP TWO: If writing postcards in a group, have a Postcard Party to get them all written and posted at the same time. Each postcard message should be brief and to the point - no more than 2-4 sentences. The following provides sample language:
Dear Fellow Voter,
I voted (or I am voting) for Barack Obama for President because he is the best candidate to bring our country together to solve the problems we are facing. This is the type of leadership we need right now. I hope that you will vote for Barack too.

Sincerely, (Sign Your Name, City and State)
STEP THREE: Put stamps on each card, leave the return address and mailing address areas on each card blank (the cards will be addressed by volunteers), and mail all of your postcards together in an envelope(s) or box to:

Bundle all of the post cards from your community and mail them to: TaLisa Sheppard c/o Women for Obama, 146 N. Hamilton Road, #168, Gahanna, Ohio 43230. [This is Updated Address] We will send the postcards to the women in PA.

Please mail your postcards no later than Monday, April 7th.

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he did not exist.

I always thought the seven minutes was telling, to me Bush did not look surprised but confirming what he already knew. To me the information was just confirming a plan was afoot.

What we are seeing in the Bush Admin is the return of what I think they call the military Industrial complex where war is Business.

I heard about Marvin Bush being the heard of the security firm at the airports where the attacks originated and the WTC. I also wondered about building #7. I went to ground zero after the attacks and some of the buildings were still standing. People have to remember the complex consisted of seven buildings. Well you were right, two of them were still standing all that was left were their steel frames. I also saw the pile from the towers and the steel were twisted as if they were made out of paperclips.

I always found the events and stories and lack of questioning about 911 troubling. But the administration clearly had a plan for the american people. To me everything falls too neatly into place for there not to be some planning.

Register Voters in NC ! | Report to Admin

By Milada from Chapel Hill Mar 31st 2008 at 9:45 pm EDT

All,

I have put together a flyer with tips for registering voters in North Carolina, based on information from the board of elections and great input from local grassroots supporters.

If you would like the flyer, please send me an email at vachudov@email.unc.edu.

You can register voters as you go about your day! As you shop, get gas, get your oil changed, get your haircut, go to a party, you can gently ask folks: "hey, are you registered to vote?"

If every Obama supporter in NC registered just five new voters, and updated the addresses of five more, that would be extraordinary!

You can get forms at your local Obama office, library or post office. Make sure you know what you are doing before you start. Please return completed forms to your local Obama office if possible.

Yes We Can !

The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By Rob from Arlington, VA Mar 31st 2008 at 9:48 pm EDT

Clinton hatchet-man Lanny Davis just said that "Barack can't carry the Democratic base".

How exactly are we to interpret this statement? Does he mean that all of us who have donated so much money to Barack and who have devoted so much time and effort phone banking, canvassing, and getting out the vote don't count as part of the Democratic base? Does he mean that African Americans don't count as part of the Democratic base? Does he mean that whites are the Democratic base and that Barack can't get their votes because he is black? Does he mean that white women are the Democratic base and that Barack can't get their votes because they won't vote for anyone but Hillary?

Any thoughts on what exactly Lanny Davis might mean by this statement?

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

Then Lanny Davis need to explain why he is in the lead. If he couldnt carry the democratic base and has won so many contest then its clear that the democratic base is NOT large enough to put a democrat in the white house since Hilary is presumably carrying the base and is losing.

Its sad when Clinton supporters in their desperation say things like this because Obama has bought so many new people into the so called shirinking base perhaps so many new diverse coalion that maybe the traditional democratic base whatever that is could use.

They refuse to give him any kind of credit for what he has managed to accomplish and do for democrats instead they once again DIVIDE democrtats thats all they know how to do. Millions of Americans have never been energized the way they are this election. So many young people participating and letting their voices heard. So many democrats see that something is sweeping the country yet the Clintons do nothing but DIVIDE.

So pathetic

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By The Pollitikat Apr 1st 2008 at 12:40 am EDT

Carol I couldnt agree more and the counter argument could also be Hillary cant win because she can only bring the base and you cant win with just the base, you need to bring independents and republicans to the polls. Its crazy to think that Barack could not win New York or california, two huge states.

Things keep changing in the minds of the Clinton camp and they have to tell themselves something to keep going. Barack is a net gain for the Democratic party. He not only brings the presidency but the potential to get an overwhelmingly Democratic congress. Thats why the Obama campaign is feared by the republicans. Thats why they are fighting hard to stop him before he even gets the nomination.

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By John Jupiler Mar 31st 2008 at 10:49 pm EDT

Just as a reply to this thread, I believe I can understand why so-called 'base' Democratic voters come from when they say stuff like this. For decades, this party, and politics in general has been conducted in the same way - voters gave their vote to a system and didn't really expect more back then the 'safety of the known'. Even with the the exceptional quality that Barack possesses to bring people together, even when these fellow Democrats may feel there is muchf good in his message, it may feel so uncomfortable for them to acknowledge the change that this country needs. Change that this world is ready for, change that we are all hungry for. Change we are not afraid of, as are some of our Democratic friends.

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By ghfan Mar 31st 2008 at 10:42 pm EDT

the one thing that i think is comical is that everyone, well perhaps not everyone, forgets Barack is as much white as black. just because his skin is dark. i am heinz 57 so which group do i fall under?

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By Carol Apr 1st 2008 at 12:09 am EDT

You know what I think it is too and dont be shock that I say this the democratic base has become conservative. Conservative in the sense that they've sort of lost their energy of change. In the sixties people were actively bringing about change many of them were idealistic but its like these same people have become part of the establishment that they were fighting against.

SO what I think this Lanny person means is these democrats than are older more conservative and for lack of a better word more set in their ways. Obama on the other hand is capturing those who are more idealistic and who want change. Who dont want their future determined for them by the actions of some of those established democrats. They want change because its their future that we are screwing up. My thing is shouldnt the party WELCOME democrats like that. I would hope they would this is one of the reason why even though I was a registered democrat I got no excitment from it. I didnt care about the political process. I did my civic duty and voted but I never dreamed that things would be better I never hoped that things would be better or imagine the possiblity that things could be better until now.

Rob,

Lanny Davis is saying the Democratic base is:

people who have been with the party at least 25-35 yrs. This would be people between the ages of 50-70 yrs old. This is the base that obama DOES NOT HAVE. BARACK OBAMA HAS THE 20-40 yr. olds with 4 yr. degrees. This is what Lanny Davis is talking about when he says "democratic base".

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

Then the base is definitely too small. The Party should be loving Obama for growing and expanding it so rapidly.

About Lanny:
Davis grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey as the son of a dentist. As an undergraduate at Yale, he was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. According to an item in U.S. News & World Report, as part of his initiation into the fraternity, Davis underwent hazing by, among others, the future U.S. president George W. Bush. [1] He also served as chairman of the campus newspaper, the Yale Daily News. [2] Davis went on to graduate from Yale Law School in 1970. It was there that he first met and befriended Hillary Rodham Clinton. [3]

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By Chris Mar 31st 2008 at 10:26 pm EDT

I dissagree. I saw Jamal today on Larry King and he held his own against both Lanny and Kiki.

The reason he is a great serrogate for our president is because he counters Lanny and Kiki's outlandish comments and rule-breaking retoric with logic and reality. He kinda bursts their bubbles.

Lanny and Jamal are actually good friends and they have fun with each other, dissagreeing or whatever. Kiki is a different story.

Kiki is by far Clinton's best serrogate ever. She is the master of spinmasters. She can spin poop into gold if she has to. But at this point, who cares? it obviously makes no difference to voters what she or any serrogate is saying or not saying.

Its about us, the voters, the american citizens. We are the only ones who can bring about the change we need.

Thats why Obama is our president. Keep up the good work folks, we are on our way!!

Peace, Love, Obama!!

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By Acorn from Texas Mar 31st 2008 at 10:57 pm EDT

I like Jamal I just think he lets Lanny and Kiki dominate the conversation. Then when its time for him to speak Larry goes to a commercial then come back on a different subject. Also, Lanny and Kiki throw a lot of things at him and he doesn't have time to respond because usually they cut him off. He has to be more forcefull

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By Rob from Arlington, VA Mar 31st 2008 at 11:15 pm EDT

Jamal is very likable. Lanny is very unlikable. Sure Lanny can talk up a storm, but he comes across as a snake. Jamal as surrogate re-enforces the likability of Barack. The contrast between Jamal and Lanny works in our favor.

Kiki, you've just got to tip your hat to the girl - she's got it. She's spinning the daylights out and I can't even get mad, I just have to smile, the girl has so much style.

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By Vinessia Apr 1st 2008 at 12:39 am EDT

I do agree with you Acorn. I saw Larry King tonight and agree that Jamaal needs to be a little more forceful and not allow others to dominate the conversation. I was really disappointed that Jamaal wasn't able to address all the accusations from the Clinton supporters.

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By Rob from Arlington, VA Mar 31st 2008 at 11:05 pm EDT

I do agree that Kiki is an amazing spinmaster. The girl sure has game. You are right that it won't matter in the end - every day we inch a little bit closer to the prize.

Bill can still do a pretty good job of spinning when he's on his game. That clever Bill is going to climb up on our backs and let us save his legacy and his wife's career in the Senate!

They've got their chance to kneecap us. I've been thinking that their Tanya Harding strategy would wind up destroying their legacy and Hillary's Senate career. Wrong!

Bill is now saying that Hillary's remaining in the race won't hurt the Democratic Party. He's saying it will make Barack a stronger candidate. When we've got the nomination, we will put the Democratic Party back together, we will win back the Independent voters, we will inspire the new voters to come out in droves in November. We will win a huge victory, and then Bill will say, see I told you, we HELPED Barack by staying in the race! What are we going to say to that? Hillary will probably go on to be Senate majority leader!

So in the end Hillary and Bill will get in a little laugh at our expense. But who among us will begrudge them when we've got the White House? They sure know how to survive.

Rob

Re: The Democratic Base | Report to Admin

By Chris Mar 31st 2008 at 10:22 pm EDT

look, they have no arguments anymore. Everytime people explain the reality of the race as unprobable for Clinton to win, their spinster team revs the engine and goes to work. Kiki McClain is the master at that, so is Lanny Davis.

It does not matter what they say, it doesnt change the fact that we are a movement and she cant beat that. Its not that she's a bad person or wouldn't be a good president, it's just that BHO is much better for our country RIGHT NOW.

Its not that I dont think Hilary will fight for the stuff she promised its that I just can't trust her. I dont trust her, the woman was telling the Bosnia story over and over with a straight face. The woman actually said with a straight face that the elections in MI was fair and Obama's name wasnt even on the ballot. SO if she manages to get into the White house as far as getting us out of Iraq or telling us what is going on in Iraq I expect more LIES like Bush.

Hillary Vows to Stay in Race 100 Years | Report to Admin

By Ton from Lynnwood, WA Mar 31st 2008 at 9:54 pm EDT

"Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton stunned voters at a town hall meeting in Erie, Pennsylvania today by telling them that she was prepared to stay in the nomination fight for an additional century."

Link

"How much longer will I stay in the race?" she responded to a voter's question. "Fifty years? How about one hundred years?"

When asked to clarify, Sen. Clinton replied, "I'll stay in this race for a thousand years. A million years. A billion years."

Sen. Clinton added that she was refusing to announce an exit strategy from the race because "that would send the wrong message to the enemy."

Interesting...Now Obama is the **enemy**. This is very disappointing...

The New York senator's comments echoed a strategy outlined in a recently leaked internal campaign memo, which calls for her to remain in the race long after the Democratic National Convention, even if Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) becomes the party's official nominee.

According to the memo, Sen. Clinton plans to follow Sen. Obama's campaign bus around in a Chevy Suburban in the hopes of running it off the road.

"If necessary, we will sideswipe or ram into his bus," the memo said. "Just really mess him up."

For her part, Sen. Clinton remained resolute at the town hall meeting, responding to a question about the recent surge in negative attacks her campaign has lobbed in Sen. Obama's direction: "What can I tell you? The surge is working."

Gonna try this...hope I am right.....or I will be so embarrassed but we're family :) so here it goes...

I think.....

Eon is like billions on years, Epoch relates to a specific reference point or duration like a dynasty, Era is a long period of time of which the epoch can be a part of, and period is blocks of time like the period of the Iraq War (eventhough it's ongoing...sigh)...

Re: Because I know you're all so smart | Report to Admin

eon = 2 or more eras; epoch = a division of a period; period = more than an epoch but shorter than an era. An eon, an epoch, and a period are all a length of time within which Obama's Presidency will be contained and noted in the history books forever ...

Just in from a meeting, so if this has been posted already, sorry.

The only spin left for Clinton is that, despite all the ways of looking at this thing, she is more electable than Senator Obama.

But unfortuneately for her,Democrats don't think so. And, unfortunately for her, Republicans don't think so either. From today's Gallup Poll:

Among Democrats: 59% believe Obama is a tougher candidate against McCain; 30% think Clinton is (rest same or no opinion).

And, among Republicans: 64% believe that Obama is tougher against McCain; and 22% believe Clinton is (rest same or no opinion).

If the press found information that Obama was a cheater, do you think they would say, "Well, that's none of our business!"

Re: being dogged ... | Report to Admin

By CalBear Mar 31st 2008 at 10:06 pm EDT

I don't blame Chelsea for not answering. First, it really is none of our business. The only reason it became "our" business is because Bill had the foolishness to lie about his misdeads under oath, which makes it a public issue. But what people do in the privacy of their own homes is up to them. Ok, so the oval office was involved, but still. Some of our greatest statesmen have lead imperfect lives (Jefferson, Franklin, Kennedy, and more). That doesn't diminish their contributions to our democracy...Just my $.02

Re: being dogged ... | Report to Admin

By LA Mar 31st 2008 at 10:13 pm EDT

I understand Chelsea's answer "none of your business." However, she is out on the compaign trail and have been put there by her parents. She's fair game just like all of the other candidate's supporters. She has to answer "off color" questions just like everyone else. If they don't want her exposed, then she should just do much needed fundraising for her mother. All of OB's supporters are heavily scrutinized for every word. She happens to be the daughter of HRC - but that should not give her any special privileges when campaigning for her mother. Stay home Chelsea; do something else; there are alot of other important jobs to do in the HRC campaign.

I don't think someone should be asking Chelsea the question. They should be asking Bill or Hill the question.

The reason it is important is that impreachment proceedings were activated against Bill--we are talking about a 2 year process with that "private" thing your talking about. Did I care that he was screwing around. Not particularly, but that I came to know about it and it was with an intern sure lent itself to my business. But that wasn't the only problem, it was the lies. Remember watergate. Well the Clintons had more gates than hell during their entire 8 years. Chelsea needs to find another answer. Besides College kids are her peer group and if she sees that stomping grounds as fair game than she needs to have another answer, like ask my father! lol

Yet the sad story is that there are sad stories from those nasty people who disrepected the WH upon the days they left. They still have a lot to answer to including the ridiculous pardons. I agree Chelsea might do other things in the campaign and get out of the hot seat--particularly from college students who may or may not be for either candidate will ask about sex!

There are SO MANY other things wrong with the Clinton family that have nothing to do with Bill's inability to keep his pants zipped... things that affect our country.

That being said, my mother has a theory about people asking Chelsea these questions. She thinks they're Hillary plants, and the point is to make us all feel sorry for Hillary (which I don't... I wish she had left him and kept her integrity instead of giving it away for political gain).

IMHO, the questions haven't been disrespectful--I mean come on, there are thousands of ways the question to Chelsea could be framed, most of which could be *really* bad.

Seems as if she should just echo her mother's past response about relying on her faith to get her through tough times, blah blah. Instead, Chelsea sounds snide and put off,like she's "entitled" to not have these questions asked.

Re: being dogged ... | Report to Admin

I agree. I also think there are far worse questions that could be asked of Chelsea about her parents...like, "As both of your parents seem to have difficulty telling the truth, do you think honesty is an important characteristic to be president of the United States?" It absolutely amazes me that all of Bill's past transgressions (as well as McCain's) are off limits, but the press and the Clinton campaign can dig around in Barack's life and nitpick every detail.

Personal thoughts/negativity | Report to Admin

By Barb ~ Blogging to Back Barack's Back Mar 31st 2008 at 10:04 pm EDT

A few threads back, I read a comment from a former-Hillary supporter. I thought it was very articulate and kind. It called us to task on some of the negativity that she felt former Hillary supporters were being exposed to. I understood her concerns and I knew that I wanted to think about my answer. So I'm just now replying. Personally, I try hard to follow the direction of our candidate. When he says it's fine for Hillary to stay in the race, I have my lead. I have tried to keep it lighter, let things go, sent in positive remarks or videos. We do have to meld together. I try not to be mean-spirited. But I can allow myself to be rendered opinion-less. Accountability means a lot in a campaign and it means a lot to me personally. And as I try to hold back from the negatives, it becomes incredibly difficult when the man I support is wrongly accused, among other things, for asking HRC to leave the race, or when the HRC awaits a ghastly mistake & then it's over. Or when I read an article about how they're considering bringing up "race" as the finale. Or even a very silly AOL vote shouldn't count. Difficult when I hear that not only her campaign - but the media - claiming that the news coverage has been biased
against Senator Clinton. I would submit that, depending upon the week or the event, they have both been under intense scrutiny and bias.
I can honestly tell you that I try to keep an open mind - I realize that there are many sides to a story. And I sincerely do not want to be counter-productive to my candidate nor unjustly tear down Hillary's. I'm sure the same is true of my counterparts in HRC's camp.
When I hear Barack Obama's critics say he isn't strong enough to stand up to the Republicans in November, and when a free pass given to some of the 'stories' of HRC and an irrational pass on defied requests for an assortment of records that everyone has been asking for.. for months.....well, I guess it simply becomes that much more difficult to stay above the fray. I, for one, will try harder. But it isn't right to acquiesce when it comes to factual data. I hope you understand.

It is amazing to me that we would even have to consider being anything to someone. People must take responsibility themselves about doing their own homework in deciding about their candidates and using all of their pea-brains in doing the right thing. It isn't up to whether or not we on a given moment is "negative" about HRC that that would "turn" off an "EX"-supporter of HRC!

Give me a break, I am tired of kiss-assing people from HRC camp. If they are wavering it is because HRC is exposed as non-fit to hold office as POTUS. They need to come here and read the ISSUES on the website and do their homework. For heaven sake, there are necessary times that HRC has pulled BUSH like tactics and I am not shutting my mouth about the historical disaster he has brought our country to its knees and if HRC is ACTing like him then she will do the same. I will not sweet-coat that ever. I am done.

Barack is the choice. He is a better person than me! That is why I want him as POTUS! There.

EX-HRC supporters. Find your reason why you left HRC and then you will come to understand that she is a scary freaking choice. She is more like Baby-Bush than Baby Bush himself.

Skull & Bones wannabe she is.

Barack is doing fantastic in PA because he always see the glass as half-full! He is a class act and has the audacity to do this job clean. I want to get rid of my cynicism and I will never be able to do that with HRC--never.

Folks,

The real battleground state is Indiana. I am begging the campaign to move on from PA after the bus trip. PA is not going to be a win for Sen. Obama. I grew up there and it is not going to be a win for Sen. Obama. We have a real chance in Indiana but I fear that the campaign is not investing enough in the state. I was in South Bend two weekends ago canvassing for Sen. Obama and HRC folks are EVERYWHERE. I spoke to a couple of HRC volunteers and they both were certain of a PA win and were planning a one-two punch with an Indiana win too. They said that the media will pick up on the narrative that Sen. Obama cannot "close the deal with the base" again and that this would become the new "truth" out there as Sen. Clinton wins states like West Virginia and Kentucky (which she is expected to win with big margins). With just a little more focus and resources, I really believe that Sen. Obama can win Indiana AND North Carolina and break any talk of momentum. Please HQ heed this warning and get Sen. Obama to Indiana for the next three weeks. He can win this state. It is more like Wisconsin than PA. He can win Indiana.

Nora Ephron's "Hooked on Hillary Article" | Report to Admin

By Rachel Hussein- A Foot Soldier in the Obama/Biden army Mar 31st 2008 at 10:09 pm EDT

Hooked on Hillary Excerpts: Read full article at: Link

I would like to put myself among the growing chorus of people demanding that Hillary Clinton withdraw from the election. I don't really think it's fair to ask her to withdraw, and I certainly don't believe she's going to; she'll hang in there till the last dog dies, or till she runs out of money, whichever comes first. I'm not asking her to withdraw because I prefer Obama, and I don't think she should withdraw "for the sake of party unity," or whatever current bromide is being flung at her to get her to pull out. I think she should withdraw because I'm losing my mind.
I am particularly sensitive to this because I'm a woman of a certain age, and this means that part of the pie that passes for my brain contains a large slice called Hillary.

I used to love her and I no longer do, but unlike what usually happens when love dies, I still think about her far too much. When she tells a big lie, like her recent Bosnia episode, I can lose hours trying to figure out why. I mean, why? Was it one of those things that she'd said so often that she'd come to believe it? Was it a story that had worked in the past so she thought she'd gotten away with it? Did she honestly think that no one would rat her out?

I don't think she was always a liar, the way some kids are born liars and never get over it. I think she was once a truthful person and her lying skills were forged in the early years of her marriage,

This is what happens when you marry a narcissist: he spills the milk, you clean it up and your love grows. And then you end up a liar, just like him.

I don't have time for this.

I understand that asking Hillary to withdraw from the race has more to do with me than it does with her, but that's my point. (End)

Questions for McCain | Report to Admin

By RobynFromFortLauderdale! Mar 31st 2008 at 10:10 pm EDT

I was watching McCain's ad and I really became disgusted and let me tell you why :

He is a Vietnam vet , he then went right into public service

1. What has he actually DONE for Veterans ? Because Vietnam Vets are the no. 1 homeless demographic.

2 What has he done to improve the VA ? When my Father in Law was in a VA during his last days with ALS - we had to hire a NURSE because the VA was so understaffed.

3. Why did it take a reporter to find out what was really happening at Walter Reid ?

4. Why hasnt he used his position as Sen to play the bully for these issues re: Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome, PTSD etc...

He hasnt ! He may have tried to get a few bill passed , not even sure about that - but he has been in the position for many many years and never used his big mouth to make it a movement , a priority !

That is why that ad breaks my heart - he had the power to make change and he never did , at least not enough for my Father In law and the 1000's that are lost in this world.
I want answers Sen McCain !

I was over on a blog long after people had moved on and saw your post about feeling down. I replied to you over there, but will reply again, in case you are still on.

I am pretty technologically anal about talking with people thru friends and all that, so this is the only way I know to get to you.

Just wanted to tell you:
Don't worry, tomorrow will be a better day.

As you know, we all have our ups and downs with this nomination fight. There will always be those who attempt, for whatever reason, to take our candidate down. We must not let those few get US down. Like the old saying, 'You can't please all the people all the time."

Just keep believing in your heart what you know about our Senator is right and true. I would think about turning off the media for a day or two. Take a walk or two in the sunshine. Sometimes we can get bogged down with all the 'stuff' coming from the airwaves, favorable or unfavorable.

Dear Barack...it is baseball season now so please get some pitching lessons if you don't already know how to get it over the plate! It's not funny like being bad at bowling - baseball is serious stuff!

I'm still convinced Kerry lost in 2004 because he couldn't get his pitch anywhere near the plate when he threw out the pitch at the BoSox game.

why no Q&A? | Report to Admin

By Tim from Whitehall, PA Mar 31st 2008 at 10:15 pm EDT

great talk...

but no Q&A? i'm bummed... i had some points to make that combine energy policy as well as space exploration (and tertiary vocal points on medical and education policy) -- all based on a paper i wrote and subsequent talk i gave at lehigh university 1 year ago. who would i forward this info to pass it up the ladder? it was published and can be found through google incidentally... LEHIGH UNIVERSITY STEM CONFERENCE november 2006, timothy dodge. the talk is titled "Sustainable Manufacturing on the Moon."

Link

i know this sounds nutty but i have degrees in math and computer science as well as a computational engineering degree from FAU erlangen-nuernberg in bavaria, germany. so this is audacious as well as hopeful -- and more that, possible and very lucrative and rewarding to whomever actually gets it done. enough solar energy to handle the entire world's energy needs today and rougly 10x more.

besides the plethora of raw materials and helium3 that may allow fusion reaction and provide an excellent jumping-off point for further exploration -- which even with barak as president -- may be a mandatory decision for the human race to make, depending on how things play out over the next 50-100 years.

--

here is the abstract:

This paper puts forth the thesis that the moon should be developed, not by humans, but by robots – robots that are remotely controlled from earth. The motivation for moon development is cheap, sustainable energy as well as plentiful raw materials. Lunar robots, remotely controlled from earth, would be central to this plan. The prizes to be had on the moon are plentiful, unobscured solar energy, helium-3 fusion fuel, and abundant metals such as iron, aluminum, magnesium, and titanium. Additional resources are small amounts of hydrogen, possibly water and rare earth elements such as platinum and related catalysts. Oxgen abundantly present in the metal oxide forms
FeO, Fe2O3, MgO, Al2O3, TiO2 and also non-metallic SiO2 so eventual human colonization, if so desired could also occurr. The abundance of SiO2 on the moon is what allows the ready creation of solar cells directly on the surface of the moon -- which would be the bootstrap source of energy necessary for actual mining and manufacturing.

A papermill closing as well as other industries closing up has cause young people having to leave. GE locomotive production plant has seen good times recently. Most politicians don't visit Erie but Hillary and Bill have both stopped. I'm calling friends and family to convince them to vote for Barack and if he can visit Erie it would help.

Gov. Rendell Doesn't Get it | Report to Admin

By Ohiobama Mar 31st 2008 at 10:22 pm EDT

This morning, Governor Rendell went on Fox news and talked about how "fair and balanced" they have been towards Hillary Clinton. PLLLEEEASE!!!

What in the world is happening? Fox News is decidedly biased against ANY Democrat; but purposely trashes Obama BECAUSE they know he has the best chance at winning the general election.

Talk about "by any means neccessary"---this takes the cake! This fits right in with his racist remarks about white men in PA not voting for an African American for President--because Lynn Swann didn't win.

Give us a break! Thanks PA for being something altogether different from the racist state your governor has portrayed you to be.

I'm from Michigan...DON'T LISTEN TO THE HRC CAMP!!

Last October, HRC said "Michigan doesn't count"...we weren't important until she was behind.

There will be NO RE-VOTE in Michigan:
1) We can't afford it and we will NOT allow Hillary's rich friends pay for a public election.
2) The election commission said we already have two elections coming up in May and August and a "re-do" vote just isn't viable.
3) It ISN'T Barack's fault--it's the fault of the Michigan Democratic Party and all of the MI Bigwigs (including our Lady Governor) who are Hillary supporters and who rigged it for HRC to win and it backfired on them.

Michigan BROKE THE RULES (Barack followed the rules)--so TOUGH!!

But when Barack is the all-but-official nominee in mid-June, he'll take action.

Don't let HRC drive the conversation on this...she doesn't really care about Michigan or its voters...all she wants is those Superdelegates!!

How can you be "the winner" when you're the only one on the ballot?!?!?!?

Almost 50% of those who voted anyway on Jan 15th voted for ABC...Anybody But Clinton!!

She's in dreamland as usual...

HOPE! Thank intangible emotion that we have all felt. Here’s my story. Please stay with me. The first time I ever heard of someone named Barack Obama was at the Democratic Convention of 2004! Wow impressive, but life goes on and to the back of my mind he goes!

Fast forward to October 31, 2006. I find myself in a hospital bed, 21 weeks pregnant wit twin boys, and in labor! I am told to make preparations for my babies death. They WILL NOT survive a premature birth at this point, they will probably be born alive, and the hospital with put them on morphine for their pain, but that’s it! Do I want them to die in the NICU or in my room privately with their family?

Needless to say, I am hysterical. Not only because I could lose my babies, but also because I have already lost a baby to a premature birth, my first son, and the thought of seeing another coffin lowered to the ground is more than any mother should be asked to bear in a lifetime.

So while I am lying in this hospital bed over the next 11 days trying to hold these babies in, I am given this little book! It was called, The Audacity of Hope. Wow, what can I say? It gave me hope when there was none. After these 11 days I went home, still pregnant BTW, and ready for the hard fight. After numerous scares, hospital visits, complete bed rest, I delivered my boys only 5 weeks early, at 35 weeks, which is great for twins. They came home with me, and never went to the NICU.

Why am I telling this story? Because all of those out there who doubt the strength of HOPE, I have two little one year olds who are proof that all of our dreams must start from a position of HOPE. I cry as I write this because it is a true story.

Every time I look at my children, every time I see their sleeping faces, wipe their tears, feed them at my breast, I am reminded that I share one common thread with every other woman in the world. We all Love, Dream For, and most of all Hope for our children.

If you have been moved by my story, Please donate Thanks everyone!

Superdelegates should begin to signal | Report to Admin

By Andrew Patterson Mar 31st 2008 at 10:26 pm EDT

A convention would be a nightmare for us, simply because it gives us less chance to unite the party no matter who the nominee is.

I think that superdelegates can trickle in steadily to give us more momentum and to send a subtle signal where this will end.

Hillary is obviously in it for 2012 and is just looking for a bitter convention fight so that she can hurt us more in the fall.

The sooner we end this thing the sooner we can set the parameters for the General election.
I know it would be hard but we should refrain from gloating once this happens.

We should also refrain from Hillary bashing, but instead bring Mark Penn, Wolfson,Singer,Carville,Maggie Williams to immediate shame and say that they were the ones who didn't plan and ruined it for Hillary
They cost alot and did nothing. They were the ones who had 'an air of entitlement' and did not proofread her narrative on the Bosnia story.

This should be evident, they didn't plan post Super Tuesday and didn't campaign in some so called small states.They still waste money and are not efficient, thats why they are constantly in debt.

This should be pasted on all bloggs so that Hillary supporters would know who to put blame on.
Mark Penn must be the most unpopular manager there is and many of them are already wishing he was fired.

No doubt she would be doing her outrage rounds about Florida and Michigan, they will be seated by the eventual nominee no doubt.

Its sick if this was the other way around, the press and the whole country would have none of it.

that's what I thought... | Report to Admin

By FORUS50 Mar 31st 2008 at 10:26 pm EDT

This just reinforces what the Super delegates already know...

59 to 30 --- that is a HUGE difference!!

(CNN)— A new poll finds a majority of Republicans and Democrats feel Sen. Barack Obama would be a tougher candidate against the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in a potential fall match-up.

In a Gallup poll released Monday, 59 percent of Democratic voters believe Obama has the best chance at beating John McCain. Thirty percent said Clinton was more likely to win a matchup with the Arizona senator.

Republicans surveyed say Clinton would be the easiest to beat: 64 percent said Clinton would make a weaker fall opponent for McCain, while just 22 percent said Obama.

The survey of 1,005 adults conducted March 24-27 has a sampling error of 4 percent.

The discussion of which Democrat stands the strongest against John McCain has been an ongoing debate since the Republican race narrowed leaving the Arizona Senator as the Republican nominee in waiting.

Since then, Obama and his supporters have said Clinton should stay in the race as long as she chooses while indicating a lengthy primary battle would not help the party's position in the general election.

Obama has been picking up superdelegates at a rapid clip while Clinton's success with that group has slowed considerably.

"I don't even keep track of it, I can't even tell you that figure," Clinton said when asked by Pittsburgh CBS affiliate KDKA how many superdelegates had endorsed her in recent weeks.

Barack in Allentown | Report to Admin

By Ruth from Easton, PA Mar 31st 2008 at 10:28 pm EDT

Terrible weather today - cold and rainy - but no one complained as we waited for the doors to open. This was billed as a town hall event but ended up being a rally because of the size of the crowd - double what was originally expected. I think a Q&A would have been really helpful, especially since someone ahead of me in line asked 'Is it true he doesn't salute the flag?' Hard to believe those myths just won't die.

Since I pretty much know his speech as well as he does (!) there were no surprises or revelations, but the greatest moment for me was when he shook my hand. I may never recover!

I am so repulsed by her and surrogates (This includes the "pimped out daughter", Chelsea, who by the way is 28 years old, not a child!), that to keep my blood pressure low and to keep myself sane, I am not going to keep track of the primary election.
I will tune back in during the General and support Barack again at that time.

Oh Obama camp shud never force her to leave..there are still 10 states and let her stay..if Obama camp asks her to leave- she will play victim card again..remember whenever she has done that- she has come out well..

So Obama must MUST MUST win big in NC...I wonder what the situation is in NC..and we MUST NOT Lose big in PA...so basically everything is based on how Obama wins in NC...

Re: Sick and tired | Report to Admin

don't worry about that. Don't play into the "force her out" theme. It always backfires and her supporters give her a win. Look at the trend: NH, super tuesday, OH, TX, and if we aint careful, PA and NC too.

Ignore the nonsense. Don't focus on that crap. Just channel all your energy into helping obama get the presidency. Focus on him, not the Kackle Lady. Do that and we will be fine!

Love, Peace, Obama!!!

There were individual donors who worked for oil companies. I think there were a couple of execs who donated also. Don't give it much thought. It's just more of the "kitchen sink".

This is correct. A few days ago I posted a warning regarding some of the news media (MSNBC)logging on to this site and getting our names and then trying to figure out where we work and if the person made a contribution and the company made a contribution. They are adding all of the totals together and say the company has made x amount to the senator's campaign. So, please do not listen to the MSM they have one purpose and that is to stop our candidate from becoming the next President of these United States.

Yes we can!!

Re: Oil $ | Report to Admin

For example, I work for a major Wall Street firm... Just a low level employee who believes in Obama... Donating so that my future children will have a better life.... When you donate, they ask you for your Employer's Name.It's considered a donation from a Financial Services firm..but it's really coming from the bottom of my heart.

Re: Oil $ | Report to Admin

By SK in Atlanta Mar 31st 2008 at 11:06 pm EDT

it's basically a load of disingenuous nonsense to say he took "oil company money" which implies that a company is writing him a check.

I worked for a oil company for 7 years as an engineer making very good money of which I saved quite a bit as they provided housing and utilities for me.

BUT, I am a graduate student again on a stipend from a university. But it is not enough to live on, so I am using some of my savings. All the money I donated to this campaign was money I saved while working at the oil company, but now my empolyer is listed as a university, so that's how it will show up on the FEC filings.

It is all a lot of hooey, and if the MSM can't or won't recognize it, it just points to an UTTER LACK OF DUE DILIGENCE AND IGNORANCE ON THEIR PART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Oil $ | Report to Admin

By TastyTone is apparently a MuslisocicommienaziKenyafacist supporter Mar 31st 2008 at 10:41 pm EDT

He does not. He has received donations from oil company employees and higher-level management on an individual level.

It's a bullocks charge. It's like saying "Obama accepts money from the fast food industry" if someone that works for McDonalds donates to his campaign. They're just trying to raise more suspicion about him because he doesn't take corporate/lobbyist money.

Here's an article:

Link

Re: Oil $ | Report to Admin

By laura Mar 31st 2008 at 10:44 pm EDT

Ok, I may get some of this wrong, so don't take it at 100%. Obama doesn't take money from oil corportations or special interest groups or REGISTERED lobbyists. However, he does accept donations from individuals who may work for oil companies, or who used to be registered lobbyist, or may be high ranking execs.
So this could be looked at either way:
1. It is irrational to think that out of every oil, health care, pharma. company that he would have zero supporters. So just because these people donate money to him doesn't mean crap. It's the same thing as you or I donating money.
~~~OR~~~~
2. He is splitting hairs on the issue, lying to the public, being sneaky and so on.

I personally go with the first possibility, but what do you think the msm, HRC and McCain's are going to say? They are going to try and crucify him with this, saying that he isn't the stand up guy he claimed to be. We need to be offensive on this, not playing defense. Hopes that helps!!

Re: Oil $ | Report to Admin

By waterprise2 Mar 31st 2008 at 10:45 pm EDT

We MUST be diligent in debunking the HRC LIES...

when you donate, you are asked for your employer.

Same thing for others...a whole lot of INDIVIDUALS working for a particular company donated, and the HRC Campaign made it look like it was the company who was donating when it was actually the EMPLOYEES!!

Re: Oil $ | Report to Admin

By Norm Mar 31st 2008 at 11:08 pm EDT

I saw a table that showed the so-called "big contributors".

This is how silly the claims of "big oil" giving to his campaign are:

The University of California is listed in the top 10 -- does that mean that taxpayer dollars are going to fund the Obama campaign?

Of course not!!!! This is even beyond silly season stuff! This whole reporting of money by who employs you is bull-hockey anyway.

WTTW Chicago Tomorrow Evening | Report to Admin

Chicago Tonight Link is a well respected show every week day evening @ 7PM (Central) on Chanel 11, PBS Chicago. Tomorrow evening Professor Marty Martin, Retired Professor of Theology/Religion at the University of Chicago will be interviewed. He is highly regarded throughout the United States. The preview indicated that he will be discussing Trinity UCC and Dr. Wright. They did not say which segment of the show, but I'm sure those in the Chicago area will want check this interview out. Dr. Michael Pleger, a Catholic Priest who is a true Community Activist was asked on Chicago Tonight this evening about Dr. Wright's visit to his chuch last weekend. He thoughtfully explained his 30 year knowledge of Dr. Wright's life's work. He did a great job of putting the "sound loops" into a much wider context. I'm hoping because Professor Martin is so well known in theological circles that we will put this all into an even more appropriate perspective theologically.

TO THE NEWS MEDIA | Report to Admin

By Theresa in Maine Mar 31st 2008 at 10:36 pm EDT

TO THE NEWS MEDIA:

Remember when Hillary is being told to get out of the race, remember when she is being "picked on" by men, remember New Hampshire.

Many many woman have had an uphill battle with men in their lives and many receive lower wages for doing the same job.

When Hillary appears to be victimized, she WINS.

Barack said that Hillary has the right to stay in as long as she wants and that's true. He surely realizes that this victimization will work against his presidency. His surrogates and supers MUST STOP telling Hillary to get out.

If they don't, she will pull another NH.

THE MEDIA IS NOT HELPING OBAMA.

Any way to get the to stop telling her to get out? It seems to be all MEN telling her to get out.

Make no mistake, I'll dance in the streets to have this end in Obama's favor. I'm so damn sick and tired of my vote being a vote against the best of negatives. Obama is a miracle to America and the world. Just once in my long years on this earth, it would be so fantastic to have a GREAT PRESIDENT.

My husband and I are pacifics. We believe that WAR IN NOT THE ANSWER. We will never vote for McCain or Hillary.

I've seen so many people talk about our 4,000 dead troups. Americans compromise only 4% of the word population, but seem to forget the rest of the world. How many, 600,000 Iraqis have been killed so far?

We Americans have no more VALUE or WORTH then any other human being on this planet.

I guess we look at things differently. Obama is our only hope for a better world. PERIOD!

Re: TO THE NEWS MEDIA | Report to Admin

By Humble Supporter of OBama Mar 31st 2008 at 10:54 pm EDT

I agree with everything you said.
When the IRAQ war began I feared that there was no reason for war. I feared that US will be stuck in IRAQ for a long time. Hillary didn't even bother reading NIE. Even if she was against the war she found it politically convenient to vote for the war. No one seems to mention the 600000 plus Iraqi deaths and millions of people displaced from their homes.

I will never vote for Hillary or Mccain. I do like Mccain more than Hillary. I just don't support his policies.

Fellow Obamaniacs

Keep your eyes on the prize!! Do not get lazy, do not get settled, do not get arrogant, do not get cocky!

Stay fired up, we are still the underdogs no matter what the polls say.

We are still facing a formitable Clinton machine with over 20 years of existance.

No one expected us to make it this far,but that doesn't mean we've made it yet. We still have a long and tough road ahead of us.

STAY FIRED UP! make calls,campaign, shout from the rooftops, send literature, email people, talk to neighbors, and get out the message.

Let's prove to everyone, but more importantly ourselves, that we are a MOVEMENT. A movement is damn near impossible to beat (at least fairly).

Let's make it clear that we are hear to stay and We are the future of this country. People always say that the children are the future. It's definitely a true statement because we are proof of that.

Do not get caught up in the Clinton controversy. She is comfortable scrapping and clawing her way to the top. We need not entertain her in that arena. It's not our game, its not what we want in our politics.

Do not assume she will bow out of the race! she has made it clear she is here to stay. so we must leave her alone and continue our strategy, our movement for change.

At the end of this process we will be ahead is all categories under the primary rules. Elected delegates, states won, and popular vote. we will also be a much tougher opponent against john McCain.

So don't get caught up in the hype of Billary. Don't let it sidetrack our process. Let's face it, politics has been rough and dirty for many many many years, so we can't expect it all to change over night.

Alot of new voters who barack has inspired are setback by some of the negative campaigning. let me tell you its going to get a lot worse.

So dont worry about that. keep your faith in Obama and the future of our nation. WE WILL PREVIAL. WE WILL BE PART OF A HISTORIC MAN WHO WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!!

now lets get back to work folks.

Re: 1? | Report to Admin

By GREG KLINE Apr 1st 2008 at 1:03 am EDT

Now that Barack has not only survived the recent storms, but essentially regained his position in PA, Hillary knows she's doomed. And like every sinking candidate, just before they fold, they proclaim that they're going to stay in it "all the way". It's all they CAN say, to play the psych game. The Wright thing after being over-exposed, finally lost it's traction around this past Friday. So my guess is Barack will lose PA by 8 - 10 points, but win NC by 15 - 20 points. He'll also win IN, OR & MT. But it won't come to that. I predict Hillary will fold somewhere between PA and May 10th. Anyone want dibbs on another date. If she doesn't fold, she'll lose come June 3rd as the most despised Democrat in the party with every bridge known burned.
