It's been said on this site before but somehow none of the democratic talking heads can ever seem to get it out as McCain's people are going on and on about how Obama's tax plan is a job killer.

It's their mantra. "Obama will raise taxes, thus, kill jobs." If they say it over and over again, as they do, and no one calls them on it, it becomes accepted.

It's absurd, patently false and it needs to stop.

I'm just a messenger here and I haven't seen this posted.

I got it in an email this morning and it needs to be passed on, so without being a media "Filter," I'm passing it on.

Why was Obama "wrong" about the surge? Why did he oppose it? With the benefit of hindsight, wouldn't he have done it differently?

These are the questions Obama is being asked over and over again and frankly, it is a little awkward. CW is starting to coalesce around the idea that he doesn't have terribly good answers.

The truth is he does, he just isn't saying it.

"Contract with America"

"Restoring honor and dignity to the White house"

"No Child left behind"

"It's the economy, stupid"

and,

"We're going to invest 150 billion over the next ten years..."

Which of these things is not like the other?

my wife is asleep. Truth is, she's probably heard most of this before and I feel like repeating myself.

This might be crossposted at my wingnut best friends email address because his will finally be it - the one argument to make him finally see the light - just like Obama is going to do with the Iranians.

But really, who am I kidding, it's mostly going to be random thoughts...

We all know the traditional media situation is borderline frightening. They've been worked over to point where they're convinced if they point out more lies on one side than the other that they're taking sides even if one side is clearly spewing more lies than the other.

The Truth is they're taking sides when they don't.

Tonight's expected split decision will effectively end the primary campaign. As our guy "Chucky T" has pointed out, there will be more undeclared superdelegates than elected delegates left. (As an aside, Chuck Todd is my favorite analyst because he doesn't look like he got into this to be on TV. It's like they had to drag him out in front of the camera because no one else could really explain what he had to say, but I digress)

In tonight's victory speach, Obama must wrest the narrative back from the Clinton's. He must be presidential and offer an alternative narrative to the Clinton talking points and ever shifting endgame the media so readily adopts in order to selfishly drag on the campaign.

Declare victory and send them all home.

He needs to go on. Let's get that out of the way. Can't appear to be dodging.

And he's got to make the most of it. He needs to be stern and forceful (but not too angry - don't want to scare whitey) and he's got to cut to the heart of what all the recent smears get at.

He's got to look Wallace and the camera in the eye and say...

If you're on this board, you engaged enough to know that Obama will be the nominee and that it's a matter of when and not if Hillary will concede. It probably won't be tomorrow, but it won't be any later than after Indiana/NC.

With all due respect to the millworker's son, it's been clear for more than a year that the "Inevitable" Clinton and Obama the phenom were the top two candidates on the (D)side. A combo ticket was always a possiblity, we just thought it would be the other way around.

When Hillary exits the race, she will do so with grace and with an air of the ironic poetry with which this story will play out to reveal that Hillary Rodham Clinton will go down in history as a singular person -- the "First Lady of the United States of America'

The best part about her ignorqant comments, the part no one's mentioned yet is how sublimely ironic it is.

If there's anyone in this campaign who "Would not be in this position" and "Happens to be very lucky to be who he(re; she) is" and would not be where they are but for who they are it could only be Hillary (No longer using "Rodham") Clinton.

Obama can hit back without compromising his promise of a new kind of politics by focusing on these three things: Character, electability & Identity.

Character: HRC wants to count the votes in Michigan even though Obama was not even on the ballot. This speaks to her character. He should not be afraid to highlight this and distinguish himself as someone who would not do that, even if it was advantageous to his campaign. She is willing to undermine Democratic chances in November to advance her own campaign. These differences are stark. He's better than her and he should say it.
