There will never be enough Progressives in this country to make Congress or the President to do what you want. Yes, you're reading that right. I think most folks that come to DailyKos consider themselves progressives (I'm an independent Obamabot) but to think that most Democrats or a majority of the U.S. population is progressive is simply delusional. To think that if you explain your policy differences to someone you can make them support your ideas is also delusional.

That's currently the Democratic Party in the simplest form. Everyone knows it but few understand what it really means and the impact it has on on what folks call "sausage making" legislation.

I think everyone here is smart enough to know where I'm going with this. If not, let me spell it out for you:

STOP ACTING LIKE REPUBLICANS!

Before I start, I would recommend anyone reading this entry to look at my past diaries to know that I'm not a troll or anything like that.

I had mixed reactions to the "Shoe" incident and aftermath. At first, I laughed. But after thinking about it some more I don't think anyone deserves to go through that, especially a President of the United States. I knew that the press would make a circus of covering it and I knew that some in Kos would feel for the journalist. Well, I'm going to have a contrarian view here even though I can't stand Bush.

This is not about an Obama victory, which I think it's very, very, very likely. It's about what McCain is about to say in his press conference schedule to start any minute now (current time 2:00 pm EST). He's going to bring up the LA Times story that was posted back in the primaries.

It's not a wild guess, it's actually a informed guess that he'll be one of the guest for tonight's SNL "Weekend Edition" segment.

This is a brief diary, I think with all the enthusiam going around lately, some probably forgot the "BREAKING" for the newest poll regarding the Hispanic (or Latino) vote.

This just came out today and was conducted by NALEO (National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials) and AARP.

More after the jump...

I called this program which is hosted by Ronald Martin and Lisa [insert some French sounding last name] yesterday. They had this guy named Josh and who was a PUMA or a Hillary fanatic and wouldn't support Obama.

I placed a call soon after. More after the jump.

That's the date that I and many here will probably have a more clear picture of the electorate landscape and how the Obama campaign is doing. I've tried to be patient and will continue to be patient. I think polls after the Democratic and Republican conventions plus two or three weeks will provide us with a more clear landscape on where the electorate is going. However, there are a few things that are bothering me now and I would just like to share.

Not sure if anyone caught it but another news organization tries to hide McCain's past shortcomings. I'll be brief follow me over the jump.
