A comment responding to a recent article in Huff Post prompted my daughter to do a Google on Kevin Phillips and she landed on an essay he wrote for Harpers in May.
`Numbers Racket: why the economy is worse than we know`

It's mind-boggling stuff for anyone who had naively assumed that govt. economic stats were authoritative. (How could they not be? The country's economists, the media, would surely never lend themselves to such a racket?)

You might have had you only looked at Halperin's first comment in The Page today.
"The New York Senator pushes her former funders to throw their weight behind the presumptive Democratic nominee on Thursday evening conference call."

But that wasn't all. The far more important para:

"Clinton also suggested she would soon be making public statements about media coverage of the campaign, as well as the ways "women were discussed."

Oh well, this is a wonderful way to unite her `woman for President` supporters behind Obama isn't it?

What we need now is for all the superdelegates such as Charlie Rangel who told her in no uncertain terms that it was over after her abysmal non-concession speech to get equally in her face now to stop pulling this aggressive, divisive bullshit.

Everyone please contact Rangel, Feinstein, Wasserman Schultz, Tubbs Jones et al and demand they intervene in this before she can do more damage.

Do check it out. A Professor at San Diego wanted to check out the right wing meme that Obama is the most left-wing Senator. He did the work and decided to put McCain in the mix too. He found that in the last Congress but one, McCain was he 2nd most right wing in the 109th, and the 5th or 6th most conservative in the 108th. (That's out of 101 total)

Obama wasn't the most liberal.
