Whose Afraid of Barack Obama? by Frank Rich, a must read
Hillary Clinton is having a rough time, lately. Now she is attacking Obama for not only asking students for their votes, but to ask them to come back from out of state to vote for him. The thing is this, it is legal. The Secretary of State in Iowa said it is within the law. Now she is whining that Iowa is for Iowans. Ummmm. Disenfranchising students? What is next? psericks, runs it down here.

Need Obama information? Don't know where to go? Well, here is the Obama Campaign one-stop-shop for information, right here. Everything you need to know pertaining to media is a click away. Also, the Obama Campaign has launched a fact check page which is part of their website. This is critically important since Senator Hillary Clinton has decided to go all out negative, due to the Des Moines Register Poll, released Sunday. Obama is about addressing the issues and having a civil, lively debate. But when the opposition decides to attack character, you need to protect yourself with fact.

On Oprah and Our Votes
Does Oprah Winfrey's endorsement help Sen. Barack Obama? She doesn't hurt.
The question seems to be on everyone's lips. Obama's campaign announced Monday that Winfrey will join the presidential hopeful next month in the important lead-off states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
I doubt that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, was thrilled to hear that news. The conventional wisdom holds that celebrity endorsements don't mean much, if anything. But, hey, this is ...Oprah!

The Identity Card
The first thing I ever heard about Barack Obama was that he had a white mother and a black father. I heard this over and over again, never in a snide or gossipy way, always matter-of-factly. Apparently this was the way we Americans had to introduce Obama to each other. For some reason, knowledge of his racial pedigree had to precede even the mention of his politics--as if the pedigree inevitably explained the politics.
Of course, I am rather sensitive to all this because I, too, was born to a white mother and a black father, though I did not fully absorb this fact, which would have been so obvious to the outside world, until I was old enough to notice the world's fascination--if not obsession--with it. To this day it is all but impossible for me to actually stop and think of my parents as white and black or to think of myself, therefore, as half and half. This is the dumb mathematics of thinking by race--dumb because race is used here as a kind of bullying truth that pushes aside the actual human experience. Time

Historians for Obama
Our country is in serious trouble. The gap between the wealthy elite and the working majority grows ever larger, tens of millions of Americans lack health insurance and others risk bankruptcy when they get seriously ill, and many public schools do a poor job of educating the next generation. Due to the arrogant, inept foreign policy of the current administration, more people abroad mistrust and fear the United States than at any time since the height of the Vietnam War. Meanwhile, global warming speeds toward an unprecedented catastrophe. Many Republicans and overwhelming numbers of Independents and Democrats believe that, under George W. Bush, the nation has badly lost its way. The 2008 election thus comes at a critical time in the history of the United States and the world.
We endorse Barack Obama for president because we think he is the candidate best able to address and start to solve these profound problems. As historians, we understand that no single individual, even a president, leads alone or outside a thick web of context. As Abraham Lincoln wrote to a friend during the Civil War, "I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me." more

icebergslim’s last word: terror of the polls. negative attacks. kindergarten essays.
Well, David Yepsen wrote an op-ed piece about getting hot. And the candidate who is hot since the JJ Dinner is Barack Obama.
It is apparent by the new Des Moines Register Iowa Poll. This poll shows that Barack Obama is up 3 points and that the race is fluid and within the margin of error. But the most telling of the information is the lost ground by Hillary Clinton to women. Women are moving towards Barack Obama and away from Clinton.
Why telling? Women are her firewall. They are. And this is scaring her to death. So, what happens? She is going negative and toward attacking Barack Obama’s character.
I say, bring it on. Why? Hillary Clinton does not own the trust nor honesty issue. She does not. Repeatedly in polling this has been her weakness. Now it has come to fruition. People are questioning her truthiness, unwilling to be candid, do they like her, and if they trust her.
All the above are valid. And we must thank her husband for his lapse of truth when he announced he opposed the War in Iraq, from the start, only to get blasted because he supported the War in Iraq. All this is a reminder of the Throwback Clinton Years that Democrats are finding out they don’t want again.
I am for a jousting, civil debate on the issues. I am. But, when you go negative to attack one’s character that is a stretch for me. If many recall wasn’t it Clinton crying about her contemporaries attacking her? And hasn’t it been Bill Richardson, lately when given a microphone, stating in nice subliminal terms, “Don’t attack each other?” Now, Hillary has thrown all of this out of the window because of one poll?
Damn. She must really live and breathe polls. If one poll does this, what will she do if she loses Iowa or New Hampshire? Perish the thought!!
And finally, Hillary, I thought you of all the candidates were the most thorough on oppo research. To have to read that you are citing Barack Obama’s kindergarten and very early school years for his ambition to be president is well, just desperate. For a child to aspire to be president is a good thing. What is wrong with that? Clinton does not get it. Now she has resorted to taking Obama's kindergarten and early school essays of “I Want to be President”, as serious oppo research and is using this against him. This is truly profound and pathetic.
I would hope any child would aspire to be that president, astronaut, teacher, doctor, nurse, firefighter, policeman, etc. These are proud professions that aid the public, but to actually use his kindergarten aspirations as an attack weapon?
All I can write is, “Hillary have you lost your mind?”
