I was mad.

I was really mad.

I could not believe that Obama was ready to give Hillary a job with some much face-time. I could not believe that Obama was ready to give Joe Lieberman a free pass. I could not believe that Obama was surrounding himself with so many old faces and ex-Clintonites, even though he ran on a message of change.

I was mad.

And then it dawned on me. I finally realized what Obama was trying to do.

I think Obama is trying to gain a monopoly on power, to end the gridlock, and bring about real change.

Sorry if this has already been diaried, but I just heard on MSNBC....Chuck Todd & Barnicle just said that Hillary was out arguing that she won the popular vote.

That's right, the POPULAR VOTE!

This diary is for:

Pseudo-political strategists on DailyKos who have been giving Obama plenty of advice lately about what he needs to do to win.

Paranoid Kossacks who are wringing their hands, afraid to lose again, and don’t think Obama is fighting McCain aggressively enough.

Fed up people, like me, who are tired of the arm-chair quarterbacks who have taken over DailyKos lately

Apparently, some of you have forgotten how tough our leader, Barack Obama, is. Apparently, some of you have forgotten how Obama came to be our nominee, and not the heavily-favored, inevitable Hillary Clinton. Apparently, some of you have forgotten how Hillary threw the kitchen sink at Obama month after month after month and all she got for it was her dashed presidential hopes.

Some of you have forgotten that Barack Obama can fight. I mean, really fight!

In case you were wondering whether or not the media would like to make this race a horserace and spin everything as negative for Obama, you can stop wondering.

CNN has now confirmed what we always expected: they will make each and every poll (or event) a doomsday situation for Obama. Feast your eyes on the latest, even-win-Obama-is-winning-he-is-still-in-trouble blog entry by CNN.

Is Wes Clark out of the running for VP? Did his "gaffe" about McSame's military service doom his chances?

That's certainly the way it would appear. When the punditry speaks of VPs, I generally hear only a few names. We get to obligatory mentions of Hillary as VP...but, of course, that is mostly for ratings and interesting speculation.

We hear Biden and Reed and Rendell and Bayh and even Hagel. But we never hear any more mentions of the best possible choice: Wes Clark.

Forget FISA! Obama’s task in right now is to deliver us a victory!

I applaud all of you for writing letters to the Obama campaign, voicing your objections to FISA. I think it’s great that some of you have taken to calling the campaign headquarters or posting your points of view on the blogosphere. That is what democracy is all about. Constructive criticism is helpful for Obama. It will make him and better candidate and a better president

Just a thought. We keep spending time talking about Obama's VP. Markos' recent top picks include:

Richardson
Dodd
Sebelius

All reasonable picks, along with Webb, Clark & Zinni. But, what if Obama's best pick was (drumroll):

Even though I am a passionate Obama supporter, I always thought that a Gore/Obama ticket was the best option for the democrats. Gore would bring the experience and national security gravitas that Obama seems to lack, while Obama would bring the charisma and excitement that Gore seems to lack. Like many of you, I thought that ticket would bring 16 years of Democrats controlling the White House!

That dream went up in smoke when Gore showed zero interest in running for president. I thought there was no possible way that it would ever happen. Now it looks like that will be the ticket after all!

Obama's Cabinet? What are your thoughts? VP? Sec. of State? Attorney General? What are your thoughts?

Okay, okay, I know it's a little too early for this. Obama hasn't even won the nomination yet. Plus, he'll have a tough battle with Granpa John in the general election....but....damnit! It's just so exciting to think about recapturing the White House, and having our guys (and gals) running things!

Sen. Clinton no longer has a strong hold on the latino vote. Obama got blown out in the fight for the latino vote in California and Nevada. But since then, he's improved.

He WON the latino vote in Conn. He also did very well in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. And, last night, he won the latino vote in VA.

Now, key latino endorsements are coming his way. The other day is was a Texas Rep. Now this:

Just heard it on MSNBC. This union had been supporting John Edwards. They have now switched to Obama.

Which match up do you prefer? McCain looks like he's got this GOP nomination just about wrapped up. He's got the juice right now. So we might as well begin the conversation about who on the Democratic side can actually beat him.
