My take on the Wright sequel is a yawn. I do not hear anyone at my office mentioning it, nor do any of my friends listening to the watercoolers. It is and was over. The hilarious head scratcher for me is the MSM do not have even a feeble memory. Wasn't it only a month ago when the MSM was giving the Obama campaign last rites and then the polls showed nothing of the sort?

The whole MSM behaviour reminded me of my dogs. I'll explain.

Former President Carter has apparently won a stunning concession from Hamas. They are "willing to accept the right of Israel to live 'next door in peace'".

Talk to your enemy. By including Hamas in your table, you will allow Hamas to be more responsible and take responsibility for its actions. Too bad Carter didn't have more support for this breakthrough.

Even though there are conditions, this is an important breakthrough.

I was never a big Randi Rhodes fan. However, I supported her show by listening on occasion. But Kossacks, do we really want to support the vile rantings of anyone against one of our own? Or not one of our own? I do not approve and certainly would never encourage any of the crap that Randi Rhodes spoke about HRC or Ferraro. This is never, ever my idea of a progressive movement. We must be inclusive, listeners, welcoming, showing positivity, creating a movement by leading by example. The comments are wrong, but they are amplified by those in our community that support these comments in blogs and it creates more harm and divides us.
I would like to think we are spirited debaters and not ugly haters.

Some real hot button economic issues for Obama

Too often in my life, I go to political rallies and see great Dems speaking passionately about the economy. I hear how the jobs have to stay in America, and american workers have to stop getting the short end of the stick. I was impressed with Obama when he actually mentioned by implementing executive orders, he could empower unions almost immediately. But to be fair, the most of what I hear is so similar to all the other speechs-get the lobbyists, do more tax cuts for the middle class, job training and some bankruptcy and credit card reform. Guess what, the repubs always come up with one or two hot button issues agaisnt Dems. We all know what it is-no new taxes. We, as Dems, argue our nuanced platforms and we get shot down with the big government big tax label. I got a couple hot buttons that might just knock this crap out of folks minds.
Here goes.

Interesting news from Newsmax. I know, but here's the link http://www.newsmax.com/... I see this race turning itself upside down. What's a white racist to do? Vote for Jesse Ventura? This obviously will influence the Dems strategy as this ticket could possibly go after untouchable AA support and females. To me, this could be as shrewd a move as McCain could make. Pray for a hard core evangelistic McBush clone. If Condo comes on, it's gonna be an even wilder ride this November.

PPP polling as of today link http://www.pollster.com

Obama regains the lead big time in this important primary. The test is how strong an effect does the Wright controversy have. Do voters care about a negative sermon in Illinois, or their economy and the shame of the war in Iraq?

This is great news and uplifting for all Obama supporters. If this plays out, no worries for the nomination.

Bill Richarson endorses Barack Obama! Cnn.com breaks story.

Richardson is not one to make unplanned or randomly timed acts. Obama needs Latino help. Perfectly matched combo. Obama/Richardson!

Obama/Richardson---Texas in play, Florida is in the bank.

Obama could have used this before Texas and wrapped up the nomination already, but, better late than later.

Richardson knows he is the presumptive nominee. Gore will definately be next. Obama has just won the psychological super delegate contest! More will start flowing once again!

Come on, bring a Florida revote now. Obama has turned the corner, watch his poll numbers rise!

Hillary and Bill Clinton and their campaign were correct in pointing out that Clinton/Obama Obama/Clinton would be a formidable ticket. Not because of some master strategy, because of demographics and the numbers in play. Before the Wright scandal, I heartily disagreed with them. Now I must admit my assessment of Obama's risk has jumped considerably with the Wright issue.

I work in the insurance industry, and one of the core tenets of insurance is spreading the risk. Now the Hillary/Obama ticket would spread the risk a little, but it would also add risk in the form of Clinton baggage.

But there is another way. A solution to spread the risk, lock in demographic sectors, and concentrate on fighting for McCain's voters.

This solution has 2 parts. It can only work if both parts are used together. Both together, not one or the other. Here goes.
