I know we all like to latch onto specific buzz works like the "Public Option" and get up in arms with every tweet from a Washington pundit. But we may be not be seeing the forest from the trees. Well, there was a possibly huge little nugget in the AP story that would equate to 'real reform' - whatever that means.

As I sit and watch Meet the Press today, I'm struck by the premise of this statement and the smug certainty of it's delivery:

"MR. GREGORY: But wait, but this is a huge blow, it seems like, on the face of it. If the priority is lowering costs, you've got the person who's in charge with a nonpartisan way of looking at these saying it's not going to contain costs. That was goal number one. It doesn't appear to be getting achieved through this."

John McCain, you serve in the Senate with Barack Obama. You serve on the Foreign Relations Committee with Barack Obama. You know that Senator Obama has a deep and abiding love for this country. You know he is a level-headed pragmatic person, a wonderful husband, and a caring father. You know better. Your supporters do not.

Rudy just reminded me in full why this party cannot be trusted with our government any longer. They are callous, petty, irresponsible, vindictive, and consistently wrong.

I know that the conventional knowledge is that Obama will go with someone currently on his team. However, I think Obama is going to look at the landscape of the political reality and specific qualification for VP. Kossacks seem to be bearing down on the common choices: Sebelius, Richardson, & Webb. Webb has said he is not interested, and having another freshman Senator might not be a reality. Sebelius is a decent choice, but really doesn't add too much to the ticket politically or functionally in the administration. Richardson makes a lot of sense from an experience standpoint and would also help deliver the Hispanic vote in the southwest. To me though, Richardson is somewhat of a clumsy campaigner.

Obama's appeal is that he can transcend the issue of race. In order to do so, he will always need the high ground. To maintain this he will need to forgive Ferraro on the issue of race alone, and then strongly repudiate the suggestion that he has any hand up or needs to be defended as a victim.

A week ago I did a prediction on my badger state, and I couldn't be prouder about how we turned out. I thought a million voters on the democratic side would be expected. We beat that by 100,000. Fantastic. Also, the demographics basically held with our independent streak. The real question now becomes: Is Wisconsin now a representation of the race throughout the country? Can we project these numbers?

I sat in on a townhall meeting with Obama yesterday in one of the reddest counties in the state. I listened to two women in their 50s talk about how they had never voted for a democrat in their lives but would be crossing over to vote for this man. They talked of their disdain for Hillary, which is understandable coming from the Republican echo chamber. But, I watched as these two women (strangers) talked about their inspiration. They sat next to a classroom of young black children, a latino couple, an asian couple, several elderly folks, college students, and working professionals on their lunch break. It made me feel good about my state. Moreso, it made me feel good to be an American. When I saw the Republican women weeping when Obama discussed healthcare, I thought to myself:

"That's it, I'm in a room that looks like an over-sized Lions club in a non-descript Wisconsin town packed with 500 voters and 200 press members and I'm seeing the world change -- neighbor by neighbor." That, my friends, is a force that should not, and possibly can not, be stopped.

Obama and Clinton will have a full week to criss-cross Wisconsin from 2/12 to 2/19. Tim Russert said this morning that Clinton would want this as her firewall. I'm just not sure that will happen. The two largest population bases are Milwaukee and Madison. Milwaukee has a very large African American population and Madison is a very progressive student population. Clinton would need to win whites handily, and women overwhelmingly. Here's my quick analysis.
