obama's beach home in hawaii

The Rope-A-Dope has landed
As I posted on Friday, that DHL/Ohio radio ad was just the beginning on the peeling of John McCain.
See, when you are a snake and have dealt the "deals" and have a 30 year record of them, but act like you are above the frey and a "faux" maverick, what is the opponent supposed to do?
Peel the onion, baby.
That is what the Obama Campaign is doing.
Next up, Obama's own, "Celebrity Ad"
this starts running nationally on cable, tomorrow
Not enough? Well, enter on stage left is the Ohio Democratic Party's ad hitting McCain Campaign Manager, Rick Davis.
Ok, not enough? The Ohio Democratic Party, AGAIN, with citizens of Ohio and how they feel about John McCain.
Now you KNOW the unions gotta get in on this one. Here is the AFL-CIO backing up Obama's Radio Ad with a hard hitting mailer to union homes in Ohio.
See, we can sit around here ALL DAY LONG and play the "Celebrity Card". We can. Hell, John McCain has been in two movies, but I won't go down that road. The road I want to go down is the "Whatcha Gonna' Do For Me" road, as a citizen of this country. Meaning, what are YOUR plans McCain, what are YOU going to propose McCain, do YOU even care about the average working stiff, McCain? See, I haven't heard squat on that angle, but again, we can continue the "Celebrity Card" and continue to peel the onion that is called, "McCain".

Lord, the Hillary Folks just don't know how to shut up
There is an explosive article coming out by the Atlantic Magazine, soon, on the Clinton Campaign. Emails, etc., was forwarded to the magazine and it gives itemized detail on how the Clinton Campaign attempted to make Obama non-American, or in other words, foreign.
Yes, it is sh*tty. No doubt. But they did not care, they wanted to win by all means necessary. Which this framing is the road map that McCain will hit hard on Obama this fall, he will.
Thanks, Hillary Campaign.
Anyway, we have Howard Wolfson, a blowhard, who was trying to capitalize on a book deal while the Hillary ship was sinking during the primaries. Now he is a FOX political analyst and you know that don't mean sh*t. But here he is blaming John Edwards on why Hillary is NOT the VP?
"I believe we would have won Iowa, and Clinton today would therefore have been the nominee," former Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson told ABCNews.com.
Clinton finished third in the Iowa caucuses barely behind Edwards in second place and Obama in first. The momentum of the insurgent Obama camaign beating two better-known candidates -- not to mention an African-American winning in sucn an overwhelmingly white state -- changed the dynamics of the race forever.
Obama won 37.6 per cent of the vote. Edwards won 29.7 per cent and Clinton won 29.5 per cent, according to results posted by the Iowa Democratic Party.
"Our voters and Edwards' voters were the same people," Wolfson said the Clinton polls showed. "They were older, pro-union. Not all, but maybe two-thirds of them would have been for us and we would have barely beaten Obama." continue
Man, some people can't let go. The reality is that Obama almost beat BOTH by 10 percentage points. And if you really look at this, he would have still beaten Clinton. Many of the Edwards voters were not "Hillary Voters", I can tell you, I was there. I volunteered the week of the caucus in Cedar Rapids and I went to Iowa 4 other times, prior to the caucus, I am telling you if Edwards was not in the mix his vote would have split 50/50, or even 60/40. In the end, she STILL would have lost Iowa.
Wolfson does not want to go into how the Iowans did not trust Clinton, hated her war vote and she did not connect there. Sorry, she didn't.
So, this B.S. by Wolfson is just more Clinton flack.
Again, Barack is doing the right thing by not putting her on the ticket. See all this continuous drama? Who has time for it? These people don't know how to shut their traps up, when needed.
November is not here fast enough.

Even Barack can't stay away from the press.

More VP stuff....
Obama will text message his supporters, FIRST, before the media will know who his Vice Presidential pick is.

This story needs to go away and the Edwards, both, need to stay in their gated community home and just shut up until after the election.
