I am a small businessman that has run his own business for over 15 years. I have had to fight off much bigger businesses who tried to take over my turf, I have been virtually robbed by an international corporation that does not play by the rules, and now I must fight off a declining economy.

I am handicapped in the sense that I have had a profound hearing loss since birth and I have to deal with a chronic rare disease that has no known cause and is incurable and yet I fight on. I speak orally and read lips as my bridge to society, and I have to take medicines from another country to hold my Meniere's Disease at bay because it is prohibitively expensive here in the USA.

Press on below the fold for more...

As you've seen in prior diaries here, the Clinton campaign is clearly starting to ride the Wright horse and try to blunt Obama's path to the nomination. Even Hillary would not deny this to a reporter:

When Clinton was then asked specifically if her campaign was pushing the Wright story -- she shrugged and took the next question, ignoring the reporter.

Now we have a first hand account from a Democrat party official (Chris Bowers at Open Left) in Philadelphia, fresh back from a meeting tonight, saying the Clinton folks in attendance made the argument that Wright has made Obama less electable.

As many of you know, one of the Obama's big themes is Change.

Allow me to spin off a bit from calalaila2008's excellent diary on #1 Reason You Support Obama: For Me It's Autism, You?...

What do YOU want changed in today's government/politics? What is the change that you most fervently desire? Read on...

An up front caveat - I am rather new to politics and therefore don't really have a clue, hence my posting this diary.

The quesiton -- What's the impact on Obama's campaign if Edwards endorses Clinton?

Let's leave aside whether it will happen or not. What happens if it does?

Chris Weigant of HuffPost posted a column with his thoughts. I'd love to hear yours. Read on...

As spotted over at the NewsDay.com Cycle, Clinton refuses to release her earmarks like Obama and McCain did.

This is yet another troubling trend indicating the amount of secrecy that pervades the Clinton campaign, giving us an idea of how she would run the White House (no differently from Bush, apparently, given his penchant for secrecy and non-transparency).
