I work for a hospice organization, treating the pain of people with terminal illnesses. And though one of my longer-term patients died this morning, I don't feel sad. Let me tell you why.

Dear David Plouffe:

Your new ad sucks.

Are you listening?

It really sucks.

It's silly, pointless, and soft. Why not attack McCain and Palin for all their lies? Instead, you have silly fonts and corny glasses and think that's going to win it. Well, f*ck you guys. I'm working my ass off to get Obama elected, and you guys have lost your mind. If you don't start hammering McCain soon the volunteers are gonna start losing steam and the election's over.

More ranting below.

See, I knew this guy was just like all the rest. I mean, I was inspired because he was, you know, gonna be our first non-white President. Who was also a constitutional scholar. And a community activist. Who opposed the Iraq war. And favors universal healthcare. And can talk about race honestly. And can talk about religion honestly. And can deliver stunning feats of oratory not seen since FDR, maybe Lincoln (and with an honorable mention to post-VP Al Gore). But none of those are true any more.

Today, Barack Obama is no longer black.

I can no longer in good conscience give money to Barack Obama. Not until he begs me for it. Not until he hears my words and does what I tell him to do.

Up until now I have tolerated Obama's far, far right of ultra-far left stances. Though he was only my twenty-seventh choice after LaRouche, I tepidly accepted his candidacy after it became obvious that Dennis Kucinich's Apache helicopter gunship was not going to come swooping down from the gathering stormclouds firing orange-gloried missiles of righteousness at the hydraheaded corprofascist foes of Washington come January. But I accepted it, I swallowed it, I took it like a man. I shut my piehole, refrained from the Blogging, and let things run their course to ensure that McCain would not be elected this November.

But I haven't heard a single word about cattle rustling.

Attention all white people:

Barack Obama is not Magic.

And, also, but: offered as a corollary:

Just because he's not Magic, doesn't make him No Good.

Get it?

Obama off the ropes: hope in the polls

Our guy has come off the ropes. According to the latest polls that take into account The Speech, Obama is now back above Clinton in the Dem race 46%-43%. He is still behind McCain in the daily tracking polls 42-49%, but with 9% undecided (rounded-up), the news is not as bad as it seems. A lot of people are still processing this whole thing, and McCain, despite Obama's rising negatives and the tons of bad press and McCain's free pass, isn't even at 50%. There is LOTS of room to move.

This will be short. Obama's response seems to be that Wright is a good man who occasionally says wrong things. And that he has retired, and so the issue is moot.

I don't know if this will be enough.

We've all heard about the dog whistle. The language that flies past the ears of progressives straight into the reptilian hind-brain of the racist: the call to attention for bigots. Geraldine Ferraro's comments are so blatant that they are more accurately described as a shouted command, so I will not address them here. The true dog whistle has been blowing for months now, getting louder and louder and more persistent with every contest, with every passing week, that most of us are now able to hear it.

But what did it sound like in the beginning? When few were paying attention, how did the Hillary campaign let the bigots know she was on their side?

This is a public service to Hillary supporters who are concerned that our candidates be fully vetted. I fully concur that, out of an impartial wish to let the best candidate prevail, we need to bring up all the allegations that the GOP will be using in the general now. They have done an exceptional job pointing out whatever falsehoods the GOP might be likely to manufacture around Sen. Obama. I thought we needed to make sure Sen. Clinton was treated to equal proactive scrutiny.

In light of this, I am compiling a master list of all Clinton malfeasance, duplicity, corruption and foolishness. Out of concern, naturally. I am very concerned.

So negativity works, at least for Hillary. We now know that. But would it work for Obama? Not if he is seen as the one being negative. We need to keep him out of the ooze. So it's up to us, people, to come up with the attacks needed to finish off Sen. Clinton and get the general election underway.

This is a call for content.
