And peaking of the bus tour, here is an article from the Huff Post about life on the Obama Bus tour. Very interesting stuff.

Maybe for our next fundraising campaign, Barack can offer "a seat on the bus" instead of just dinner!

Well, based on some of the blog posts I've been reading the hate and fear mongers are still going at it, spreading lies and smears about Obama by blindly forwarding emails about him that are totally untrue.

I've crafted an email message that you can use as a response to these people. It has plenty of links that they can't deny. I'm also encouraging people to send the message to everybody they know. More than 70 people have joined this effort but need your help to make it viral (as in everywhere).

I've also added information on Rev. Wright and how Fox "news" is misquoting him.

If this is you, here is your chance to contribute whatever you can spare, (as little as $5.00) will help us win the White House and return this country to the path that our founding fathers had envisioned and fought so hard to create, that our own fathers and grandfathers defended with their blood and that the current men and woman serving abroad deserve to come home to. A country with an agenda that is not mired in self made turmoil and devisive politics.

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.

Unfortunately, any given individual doesn't necessarily look good in a particular color, no matter how much the color on its own is appealing to people. Better to wear what looks good w/ your own, God/Nature-given coloring.

I think Hillary looks good in bright colors. It's a damn sight better than when she and Tipper showed up for one of their inaugurations in all black. They looked like the Witches of Eastwick. It troubled me, b/c I had supported Clinton/Gore. See, neither of them can pull off all black. And Hill needs bright colors.

That particular Edison Truck Yellow looks good on a small percentage of folks. However it looks great on a large percentage of backhoes, bridges, and forklifts. :-)

Ditto, bright lemon yellow. It's deadly on most folks. Colors that look good on most everyone: salmon/coral, periwinkle, and teal.

I am sure there is 'some' yellow that would look great on Hillary. Don't think she has time right now to spend shopping, however.

All this, speaking as someone who used to do colors/wardrobe consulting (believe it or not, I trained w/ a woman who did colors for the Bush family). Back when people "did" colors...

Barack generally looks great in what he wears. And as someone remarked on one of the blogs, he has *the* best neckties.

The two of them are holding hands. Both of their districts voted overwhelming for Barack, but they are co-chairs for HRC and of course, can't/won't change their vote.

NC endorsements premature | Report to Admin

By Joy IA Mar 31st 2008 at 6:28 pm EDT

WSJ was incorrect...

Link

Barack Obama would be happy to get endorsements from North Carolina's Congressmen, but he says he doesn't have them yet.

The Democratic presidential candidate's campaign e-mailed Dome this morning to say that the Wall Street Journal's report it had all seven Democratic Congressmen lined up for a group endorsement was a bit premature.

(So far, only Rep. G.K. Butterfield has endorsed Obama. Reps. Brad Miller, David Price, Heath Shuler, Mel Watt, Bob Etheridge and Mike McIntyre have not made any endorsements yet.)

"We're pleased to have the support of Rep. Butterfield and are working to earn the endorsement of his colleagues in the N.C. Congressional delegation," wrote spokesman Dan Leistikow in an e-mail to Dome. "Despite the Wall Street Journal's optimism, none of them has (told) our campaign that they are ready to announce their endorsement of Senator Obama, so we'll keep working on it."

I was a delegate in our Senate District 16 (Texas) convention. There were a ton of people and it took a long time to get signed in. A lot of people had credential problems, but we eventually got down to business. As it stands right now, Obama is ahead 55.6% to 44.4% with 93% counted. I was elected to go to our state convention, and I'm so excited!

Every time I go to a link, I lose my spot and have to start at the top of the thread to find where I was. As a result, I don't go to as many links as I would like. Can the Obama web server change this? (Forgive my lack of computer lingo.)

In any case, I appreciate everyone's continued commitment and perseverance. We are up against the Billary Machine and it's big and entrenched.

BUT!

Obama is doing great. He has proven that, even though he is skinny, he is tough. :-) He manages to stay cool, calm, and collected in the midst of unfair, bellow-the-belt tactics. I am proud to stand by him for CHANGE.

As the saying goes, everything is fair in love and war (and to a large extent in politics, too, I suppose).

Would it not be an appropriate moment to start stressing the doings of one Maggie Smith, HRC's secretary in the White House and one of her closest campaign managers?

It seems Ms. Smith sat on the board of a now defunct sub-prime lending mortgage company, where she made $175,000/year.

While I do not begrudge her the money, I find it ironical that HRC, who preaches against all the ills of the sub-prime industry, would have such a person as a close aide.

Maybe Ms. Smith had not been sufficiently vetted.

Meanwhile, over in the UK | Report to Admin

By franmeerkat, an ObamaBrit Mar 31st 2008 at 6:11 pm EDT

Good evening, hope mongers. A lovely thing happened today: one of my team at work is American - a great lady called Karin, from California. We were talking about the power of the internet, and I started extolling the virtues of this blog, and how it's unmediated and you can create your own blog, events etc. I didn't know who she supported in the election. I made her eyes boggle with my fearful knowledge of closed primaries and super delegates.
It turns out that she's a big Obama supporter, and after a quick bonding hug, we did a brief presentation to the rest of the team about the power of the Obama blogs...thus deseminating, to a group of UK video journalists, the power of grass roots brain power and savvy.
Love from London

Donate!!!!! | Report to Admin

By Dan from Illinois Mar 31st 2008 at 6:19 pm EDT

Get em while they last!

Michelle B. from Cincinnati, OH has started a fundraising campaign based on having donors ‘adopt’ a state by donating an amount equivalent to the year that state entered the union. For example, you can adopt Delaware for $17.87 because it entered the union in 1787. The biggest ticket item offered is DC (since that’s the last stop for President Obama) which is going for the low, low price of the difference between Michelle’s goal of $1000 and the sum total of the 50 states. (Michelle claims to have done the math but I bet she used a computer.)

I am a Canadian married to a US citizen in northern Illinois. Recognizing that electing Barack Obama has global implications Michelle and I hooked up to add a new twist to the fundraiser. Michelle has agreed to add the Canadian provinces (10) and territories (3) to the list of US states. The Canadian Confederation was formed almost a century after the US so it will cost about a dollar more for each province/territory. (Didn’t want you thinking it was because of the exchange rate.)

The sum total of the Canadian adoptions will be $246.08. I have committed to Michelle that I will donate $253.92 to her fundraiser if we get all 50 states and 13 Canadian provinces/territories adopted, bringing the total goal to $1500.00

Update: A very dedicated Obama supporter recently added a huge donation to the pot and now ‘owns’ North Dakota (thanks Kim). That actually put us over our original target, so we’ve raised the goal to $2500.00 as we still have half a continent available to adopt.

Because of Kim’s generosity, I decided to complete my above commitment based on getting all of North America adopted. So here’s a new challenge. I’m not seeing enough movement on the Canadian provinces. So I will commit to another $100.00 if Canada is adopted completely before all the states have been adopted. (The race is on!)

All funds must be in US dollars (smiley face here).
Help us meet our goal by donating at the following link.

OVER A MILLION FREQUENT FLYER MILES DONATED!!! | Report to Admin

By Michele from Huntington Beach, CA Mar 31st 2008 at 6:20 pm EDT

Thanks to the generosity of many who donated their valuable frequent flyer miles, we sent 28 out-of-state volunteers to Texas and Ohio, and so far have another 21 going to Pennsylvania.

This means ***1,225,000 MILES*** have been donated to date!!!

DONORS: It takes 25,000 miles for a ticket. So – who’s got at least 25,000 on the same airline which they’d like to donate toward making sure Barack Obama is our next President?

Step right up — I’m getting requests almost daily from volunteers who want to help but can’t afford the airfare. Donate now, please, so we can get these people on the ground where they’re most needed. We have to work harder in PA!

VOLUNTEERS: If you want to spend a week or more in PA, but can’t afford to pay your own way, contact me and I’ll try to match you with an airline ticket.

Please call me at 714-536-6104 California time. (Don’t reply on the blogs; I probably won’t see your response.)

Has Mario Cuomo lost his mind? He was on TV pushing the idea (which he thinks is GREAT) that Barack and Hillary should tell their supporters that it doesn't matter who wins because the other person will be the VP. He thinks if that is said upfront that the Dem Party will not lose voters.

I have never heard such a terrible idea. I guess because the Dem party is terrified to overtake Clinton and have the superdelegates come forward for Barack, we will have to suffer.

All I can say is that Hillary is determined to be FIRST at something - anything. I guess she would want to be VP. Barack should watch his back for sure. Can you picture it - Billary plotting something evil all of the time.

The Fisher House is a non-profit organization that helps injured military and their families (like Ronald McDonald House). You can also find companies that give their profits to the Fisher House. Like for Veteran's Day I bought chocolate bars from Donna's Chocolates and my husband passed them out on CalTrain and asking them to check out the Fisher House and consider donating. Cartoonist Garry Trudeau has his books for sale.

Barack and Hillary are going to the airport to catch a flight. At the counter Barack has one small carry on which has been throughly searched. Hillary, with Bill in tow, come rushing up with SIX BIG BAGS each that all excede the 50 lb weight limit.

We don't need her excess baggage.

By Barack or Bust Mar 31st 2008 at 6:40 pm EDT

Hello Obama family!

Today I dropped another $25 into the campaign. I wish I could max out at $2300 but alas I am a poor college student. But I do what I can because I believe in this campaign and I believe in Barack.

I am a third generation immigrant. My family came from Italy with nothing. Barack's words continually remind me of the HOPE it took for
my great grandfathers to arrive in this country and build the life, three generations later, that I have today. I am of course eternally grateful to them for their bravery and HOPE.

"It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from
distant shores...YES WE CAN"

Growing up I was always reminded of how amazing this country is...the best in the world. Never before has a politician spoke in words, to me, about what it means to BE an American. Because like Barack says No matter what the obstacles are...YES WE CAN! His speeches on Hope speak to me and my Hope for the future of our country. And for that I am truly grateful because I had become skeptical of what we were capable of....No more!
I want change and Barack will bring us there!

YES WE CAN!
"Justice and Equality....Opportunity and prosperity....Repair this World...Heal this Nation....Heal THIS Nation"
YES WE CAN!

Love to you all!
Bianca (Proud foot soldier for Hope)

PA Schools

The Stephen Colbert / Obama challenge to benefit Pennsylvania schools and children is still running. A week ago we reached the original $66,000.00 goal. It was raised to $100,000.00 after we smashed through $66K level and Colbert had the week off and the show was in re-runs.

I donated again last night and continue to believe this a wonderful opportunity to show Pennsylvania how much Barack and his supporters care about their children’s academic needs. Much of the money will go to kids who are challenged in various ways.

Right now we are within $8,270.00 (JUST UPDATED) of reaching the $100K goal in Barack’s name. I believe this is the sort of thing that both Barack and his late mother would support (in my humble opinion). On one day alone last weekend we managed to donate nearly $14,000.00

Please make a contribution of any size in Barack’s name. If we all work together we can reach the Colber/Obama challenge $100,000.00 target very soon. I will donate as generously as I am able again today.

Okay, it’s time to put this democratic primary process to bed. In 23 days Pennsylvania will vote in what could possibly become the deciding factor in the democratic process. For all of you whom are loyal to Hillary…So be it. Obamacans are feisty and loyal; we are committed to our candidate.

You ask why? We believe in a democracy that works for the people. We know that Sen. Obama is our conduit change. He’s the catalyst for making our Hope a reality. The funny thing is we know we have work to do. We know that the change starts in our homes. I wonder why the media and other candidates speak as if we are somehow delusional. The fact of the matter is, we are already making changes today in this campaign season…waves and waves of changes.

We stood up to the media smear campaign…took hard punches…fell to our knees (Poll percentages dropped a few percentages) but we weathered the storm…we did our research…and told big business and big money media that we’re not going to stand for it…”Not This Time.” We began to hold the media accountable for its careless actions, by forcing context to let people decide for themselves. We made them a reactive media rather than proactive, because we didn’t rely on them as a sole source, but as a pointer in finding the real truth behind the story. To put it frankly, we exposed the media for what it truly has become…a conduit for biased opinions and slander rather than investigative and factual. We held them accountable for not telling the full story, pressuring their financial base. Now, I often hear the media say the Obama supporters’ wont like it. ROFLMAO every time I hear it.

What they are really saying, they just don’t know it yet, is America won’t stand for it. This is the bottom up change that Obama is talking about. We can hold our politicians accountable as well as our Gov’t accountable when we are involved in the process. This is also what Sen. Obama is speaking of when he talks about transparency. We Gov’t is transparent “WE CAN ACT ACCORDINGLY!” and “THAT’S CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN”

Great Article:

CAMPAIGN 2008
Obama's Inner Circle
By James A. Barnes, National Journal
© National Journal Group Inc.
Monday, March 31, 2008

If potential presidents can be judged by how they run their campaigns, then how they staff those efforts may provide important clues to the kinds of talent they would recruit for their administrations. Because Democratic front-runner Barack Obama is a relative newcomer to national politics, an examination of his inner circle of political and policy advisers offers new windows into his thinking, leadership style, and sources of expertise.

The Democratic front-runner's team has a relatively shallow bench, but its political achievements thus far are quite impressive.

To be sure, Team Obama has made a few stumbles that give pause to some observers. One of the candidate's foreign-policy advisers resigned after a Scottish newspaper quoted her as calling Hillary Rodham Clinton a "monster." Another, a retired general, likened former President Clinton to infamous red-baiting Joseph McCarthy. And Obama's chief economic adviser inadvertently became a minor liability after it was reported that he met with Canadian diplomats in Chicago and either played down Obama's skepticism about the North American Free Trade Agreement or had his informal remarks misinterpreted, as the campaign maintains.

Obama's team has a relatively shallow bench: Several players are responsible for an extraordinarily wide range of policy areas. But whatever the lapses and shortcomings of Obama and his closest aides, it's hard not to be impressed with their political achievements. The campaign has taken on the power couple who have dominated Democratic politics for the past 16 years and reduced a once-mighty heir apparent to a lackluster underdog.

"I would describe it as an excellent campaign," says Democratic media consultant Tad Devine, who worked on the presidential campaigns of nominees John Kerry and Al Gore but is not taking sides in the Obama-Clinton battle.

Although Obama has had a solidly liberal voting record in the Senate -- the most liberal record in 2007, according to an analysis by National Journal -- his policy advisers tend to be moderates. Indeed, Obama explains his roll-call record as a product of votes that push senators to one extreme or the other, and he maintains that his presidency would move the nation into a less ideological, more cooperative era.

What follow are mini-profiles of many of the key players on Obama's political and policy squads.

By Working Together Mar 31st 2008 at 7:12 pm EDT

POLITICS
Obama is fortunate to have a gifted team of experienced political operatives guiding his historic run for the White House. It's a group united by deep loyalty to the candidate, even though few knew him before his 2004 campaign for the Senate.

David Axelrod
Valerie Jarrett
Robert Gibbs

ECONOMICS

Obama draws his economic advice largely from academics who fall within the broad Democratic mainstream of the dismal science, although they do have streaks of heterodoxy. Some are outsiders with few ties to the party's policy establishment in Washington, while others served in the Clinton administration or elsewhere in government.

Austan Goolsbee
Jeffrey Liebman
Christina and David Romer
Daniel Tarullo

IMMIGRATION
The 40 or so members of the campaign's Immigration Policy Advisory Committee come from diverse ethnic and professional backgrounds. The advisers range from immigration advocates to business executives; academics and lawyers are particularly well represented. Many committee members have substantial government experience.

Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar
Preeta Bansal

NATIONAL SECURITY

"Mainstreamers." "Centrists." "Non-ideologues." These words tend to pop up in descriptions of Obama's security and intelligence advisers -- words that arguably help a candidate who is derided by his rivals as inexperienced. By recruiting eminences grises such as Tony Lake and young, skilled post-Cold War diplomats such as Susan Rice, the campaign appears eager to reassure voters that Obama, with his conspicuous, or at least relative, lack of foreign-policy experience would be surrounded by seasoned hands as commander-in-chief.

Many of Obama's advisers served in the Clinton State Department or on the National Security Council. Philip Gordon and Ivo Daalder are two notables. Both are now with the Brookings Institution, as are at least three other advisers. Pentagon veterans include Richard Danzig, who was Clinton's Navy secretary; Maj. Gen. Jonathan Scott Gration, a 32-year veteran of the Air Force; and Lawrence Korb, who served as an assistant Defense secretary in the Reagan administration.

Tony Lake
Susan Rice
John Brennan

ENVIRONMENT
Obama's core environment and energy advisers come from the moderate wing of the Democratic Party. Like the candidate, they favor federal controls on greenhouse-gas emissions and greater emphasis on developing clean sources of energy. But his green-team members have spent their careers forging partnerships between environmental interests and business, not hugging trees. Many of them were attracted to Obama because of his conviction that environmental goals can be compatible with the needs of his home state's coal, farm, and nuclear industries.

Obama's Inner Circle continue | Report to Admin

By Working Together Mar 31st 2008 at 7:12 pm EDT

POLITICS
Obama is fortunate to have a gifted team of experienced political operatives guiding his historic run for the White House. It's a group united by deep loyalty to the candidate, even though few knew him before his 2004 campaign for the Senate.

David Axelrod
Valerie Jarrett
Robert Gibbs

ECONOMICS

Obama draws his economic advice largely from academics who fall within the broad Democratic mainstream of the dismal science, although they do have streaks of heterodoxy. Some are outsiders with few ties to the party's policy establishment in Washington, while others served in the Clinton administration or elsewhere in government.

Austan Goolsbee
Jeffrey Liebman
Christina and David Romer
Daniel Tarullo

IMMIGRATION
The 40 or so members of the campaign's Immigration Policy Advisory Committee come from diverse ethnic and professional backgrounds. The advisers range from immigration advocates to business executives; academics and lawyers are particularly well represented. Many committee members have substantial government experience.

Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar
Preeta Bansal

NATIONAL SECURITY

"Mainstreamers." "Centrists." "Non-ideologues." These words tend to pop up in descriptions of Obama's security and intelligence advisers -- words that arguably help a candidate who is derided by his rivals as inexperienced. By recruiting eminences grises such as Tony Lake and young, skilled post-Cold War diplomats such as Susan Rice, the campaign appears eager to reassure voters that Obama, with his conspicuous, or at least relative, lack of foreign-policy experience would be surrounded by seasoned hands as commander-in-chief.

Many of Obama's advisers served in the Clinton State Department or on the National Security Council. Philip Gordon and Ivo Daalder are two notables. Both are now with the Brookings Institution, as are at least three other advisers. Pentagon veterans include Richard Danzig, who was Clinton's Navy secretary; Maj. Gen. Jonathan Scott Gration, a 32-year veteran of the Air Force; and Lawrence Korb, who served as an assistant Defense secretary in the Reagan administration.

Talking to North Carolina and Montana stations, [Clinton] suggests "the media or somebody sitting in an office in Washington" are trying to block people from voting.

"A lot of Sen. Obama’s supporters want to end this race because they don’t want people to keep voting."

SHE IS WRONG.

This isn't a good movie that's gone on for 30 minutes too long. It's a good movie where one of the producers wants to lock the doors to the theatre and force the audience to sit through the credits before they can get up to pee!

DEBATE ON ABC | Report to Admin

By VC Mar 31st 2008 at 7:09 pm EDT

Hi all
I have telephoned HQ and written e-mail about the upcoming debate on ABC. I feel as though this is a set up against Barack and that he should not attend. ABC followed FOX news in releasing Rev Wright videos, and then the rest of the Media jumped in on the band wagon. They are not going to leave this story alone, and the debate (April 16, ) would be the perfect time to start playing the video all over again. April 16, is 2 weeks before the next primary. If there are any one who agrees with me, please contact HQ both by phone and e-mail. Thanks

Re: DEBATE ON ABC | Report to Admin

By PTC GA Mom Mar 31st 2008 at 7:12 pm EDT

ABC actually was the first to release the videos. Fox spoke about them first.

We need to go ahead and face it. It's going to esacalate before November...unless the Republican 527s find something else.

And you better believe they are looking under every rock.

Re: DEBATE ON ABC | Report to Admin

By mitch90210 Mar 31st 2008 at 7:24 pm EDT

Barack can't run from these videos. The public has grown tired of them and at some point they just become mundane. Inside Edition found an excuse to play the Wright video tonight because he made his first public appearance at a Maya Angelou recognition event.

They went so far as to present a photo of a new home that the Church is building for the Reverend. That will surely show up on Fox or some other News Service. Rev. Wright is here to stay and we have to get accustomed to it, but we should not let it deter or distract us.

I don't agree. It sounds from your blog that you don't trust
Barack to handle any and all questions that come his way. He
has to assume that this issue will continue to dog him and that
he will find more and more ways to use it as a teaching for each of us. I don't worry about him fielding anything, especially if he is prepared.

In fact there is so much more for Hillary to be wondering how she will handle...BOSNIA anyone!!! I can't wait for that debate.

PA Schools: Colbert/Obama Challenge

The Stephen Colbert / Obama challenge to benefit Pennsylvania schools and children is still running. A week ago we reached the original $66,000.00 goal. It was raised to $100,000.00 after we smashed through $66K level and Colbert had the week off and the show was in re-runs.

I donated again last night and continue to believe this a wonderful opportunity to show Pennsylvania how much Barack and his supporters care about their children’s academic needs. Much of the money will go to kids who are challenged in various ways.

Right now we are within $8,220.00 (JUST UPDATED) of reaching the $100K goal in Barack’s name. I believe this is the sort of thing that both Barack and his late mother would support (in my humble opinion). On one day alone last weekend we managed to donate nearly $14,000.00

Please make a contribution of any size in Barack’s name. If we all work together we can reach the Colber/Obama challenge $100,000.00 target very soon. I will donate as generously as I am able again today.

Here’s the link: Link

There is still time to take back any lost grounds. I just donated another widow's mite of $25, so let’s all chip in whatever we can. Let’s face it; it will not be encouraging to any SUPERDELEGATE who is intending to endorse Barack, if Hillary beats us this month in fundraising. It will not be good campaign news either and the MSM may make a big deal of it.

Let’s give what ever we can now. Let’s show the whole nation that Barack still has our support and was not hurt by the recent crises. Donate whatever you can, no mater how small.

The MATH is simple:

1 million Barack supporters x $25 each = $25 million = GREAT!!
