Obama is Winning by JedReport


Clean Sweep for Obama (Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington State and US Virgin Islands)
Yes, totally clean as rikyrah breaks it down. So, now what? Well, Maine today and the Potomac Primaries on Tuesday.

If all goes well for Obama on Tuesday, yes what next? These primaries don't mean anything? As the other side is trying to spin it. Last thing I heard about winning in politics is this, "a win is a win", and that is the truth.

No one can dispute that Obama has a broad appeal and building a coalition across this country based on movement. Movement for the average american to become engaged and participate in taking our country back.

I don't care if Obama wins a straw poll, caucus, or primary. A win is just that, a win. Hillary Clinton need to take heed and stop criticizing caucus goers. Why? Because if the shoe was on the other foot, she would have absolutely nothing to say. That is, if she was winning.

Congratulations, Obama Campaign and Obama Advocates/Supporters. Now it is time to continue to keep our eyes on the prize, ignore the tea leaves, keep working like we are 20 points down and remember we are the underdogs. Nothing more, nothing less.

Clinton, Obama Brace for Battle After Tuesday Split

Senator Hillary Clinton won the biggest of the Super Tuesday primaries while Senator Barack Obama won more states, extending their struggle for the Democratic presidential nomination into next month and beyond.

Clinton, 60, won California, the largest prize in yesterday's voting. She scored victories in her own region, winning her home state of New York as well as New Jersey and Massachusetts on the biggest day of voting in the nomination race. She also took Arkansas, Oklahoma, Arizona and Tennessee.

Still, Obama, 46, prevailed in Connecticut, next door to Clinton's home base. He also won his own state of Illinois as well as Georgia, Delaware, Alabama, Kansas, North Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado, Idaho, Alaska, Utah and Missouri. The only race still undecided was New Mexico, where Obama held a 518-vote lead over Clinton with 92 percent of voting precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press. Thousands of provisional ballots remained to be counted. Bloomberg

icebergslim’s last word: path to the nomination

Obama Supporters and Advocates should be proud of themselves. Why? We are grunts. Yes, grunts.

We understand what needed and still need to be done to win the nomination. It takes dedication, hard work and money. Many of us have given and still are giving.

I am a grunt. Yes, I, icebergslim, a grunt.

I work a 40 hour gig to take care of my family. But then, I am a grunt for Obama. I work the phones, have maxed to the primary, been to Iowa politicking many weekends, converting many to Obama and write and compile this weekly Obama review.

When I first started ‘This Week’, I really did not know if there were other Obama supporters out here. I soon found out, there are many, like me.

For me, a grunt, this campaign has consumed some of my life, dealing with the good and bad of the campaign, but always looking for the rainbow at the end.

I was in Iowa when Barack won and it was exhilarating and straight up exhausting. It was then, we, grunts knew we were in for the long haul.

Through poll numbers, tea leaves, ups/downs, wins and losses, we never have taken the eye off the prize. We understood that we were up against The Clinton Machine. We understood that eventually it would get not nice, we knew that we had to fund our candidate to the max and we knew that we had to take the message to the people.

Now, that we have won Maine, that is number five for Team Obama, since Saturday and the split decision of Super Tuesday. We know what need to be done, next the Potomac Primaries on Tuesday.

Maryland and Virginia need phone calls to be made. All the information is here.

If you are in one of these upcoming states through March 4th, volunteer here.

And lastly, we would not be here without money and I am not shy to ask you to donate here.

Congratulations Team Obama, now back to work!!!


this is a photo from the virginia jefferson-jackson dinner in richmond, virginia on february 9, 2008. we survived super tuesday by a draw, and have won 5 contests since. now we march into tuesday's potomac primaries and after that wisconsin and hawaii. march 4th is around the corner where ohio, texas, rhode island and vermont weigh in. if you are in any of these upcoming states with primaries/caucuses please volunteer, phone bank and donate. lastly as always remember to focus on obama and not the drama....

Yes, Strong Women Stood Tall for Barack Obama
Watching these strong individual women was something to see on Sunday, along with the great Stevie Wonder to top it off. But, we were in for a shock, as the First Lady of California came on the stage and said that she is backing Barack Obama's candidacy. Yes, many had their mouths gaped open, including me. But it was Maria Shriver's speech that was riveting and to the heart of the matter. It was what she said about Barack, that I will never forget.

"The more I thought about it, I thought, if Barack Obama was a state, he'd be California. Diverse, open, smart, independent, bucks tradition, inspiring, dreamer, leader."

Those words are Barack Obama. He is truly what we need to transform and move this country, and asking us to help him along the way. When was the last time a president asked us to do anything, to participate anywhere, to care about something? This is the candidacy of Barack Obama.



"YES WE CAN!!!!"
will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas has released a new celeb-studded music video in support of Barack Obama with appearances from Jesse Dylan, Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta and Nick Cannon.

Obama and Clinton go nationwide with less face time, more air time

As police motorcycles raced along Sen. Barack Obama's motorcade here Sunday afternoon, three boys playing under a sunny southern sky gazed up with looks of amazement and uncertainty.

The motorcade was a blur. And for the next nine days, the presidential campaign will be too.

After months of toiling mostly in just four states, the Democratic nomination battle has gone national, now literally a coast-to-coast affair that will make the past town hall gatherings and one-on-one meetings seem like quaint and distant memories. more

Obama Campaign Superbowl Statement

A reminder - seven years ago, a patriotic group of Americans had to make a choice between conventional experience and change they desperately needed. It wasn’t an easy decision. Both options were compelling in their own right, but when it was time to make a decision, the choice was clear. The New England Patriots started Tom Brady over Drew Bledsoe, and Brady went on to be the MVP of Super Bowl XXXVI. Now that’s change we can believe in.

The Obama Opportunity by Janet Napolitano, Kathleen Sebelius and Claire McCaskill

Once in a generation, an opportunity comes along -- not just for the Democratic Party, but for the United States of America -- to build a new majority for change. Barack Obama's candidacy offers us that opportunity. As Democrats, and as Americans, we must seize it.

This moment in history is marked by the magnitude of our challenges. Our nation is fighting a war in Iraq that has made us less safe. Our planet is imperiled by a global climate crisis that we have done little to combat. Our economy is sliding toward a recession. Wages aren't keeping pace, as the cost of everything from health care to college is rising. Whether it's a world-class education, a secure mortgage or a dignified retirement, too many Americans are seeing their dreams slip out of reach. more, WSJ

icebergslim’s last word: WE ARE UNDERDOGS.....PERIOD.

I saw a ton of diaries on different sites about Obama as the frontrunner, surging, will win big tomorrow.

Folks, wake up from your dream. It ain’t happening. Why? Hillary Clinton is an established candidate with the establishment behind her. Wake up and get to the Obama Office and work your duffs off. Why? Remember, New Hampshire? No phone number, contact, communication can be unturned tomorrow. It is all about GOTV and GOTCV. Period. And this means looking at the precinct rolls and pulling these folks into the voting booths. That serious.

I don’t agree with my landlord too much, I do have a love/hate with him. That is real. But kos was absolutely RIGHT with his diary, Irrational exuberance.

Writing diary after diary about Obama winning this, that and the other is ridiculously stupid. All you have to do is look at the undecideds to know it ain’t decided!! Meaning, we don’t know how any of this will break, period. So, writing these diaries defeat the purpose, which is working hard for Barack and getting the folks to the caucus spots and polls.

I understand excitement, been doing this a long time, but let us put on our “realist glasses” here and look at this race for what it is. A horserace. Meaning, both candidates are running and we don’t know who will cross the finish line first. So, we keep running until the polls close.

Obama winning enough delegates tomorrow is enough to go on to Maine, Nebraska and Louisiana and then onward to the Potomac Primaries next Tuesday, including Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. This campaign is about us and hard work, period. Not getting exhilarating on poll numbers, especially Zogby’s.

I am proud of this campaign that Barack has put together; it is truly about each one of us. Even when Barack lost in NH (though he split the delegates evenly with Clinton) it was his brilliant speech of “Yes We Can” that moved us, committed us, and found us believing that we can do this.

This campaign is not paid for by lobbyists, corporations, it is paid by us. Barack hauled in over 32M for the single month of January and 27M was by the INTERNET ALONE. We all own a piece of this. We all are working our you know whats off for this campaign. We are excited and the momentum is in the air, but always remember this, winning don’t come by just assuming it will happen. Winning come by working your you know whats off to make it happen.

This is not over until Obama gets the nomination. A shoutout to all of you working so hard for this campaign. If we win, this will transcend and transform politics from here on out. Always remember that.

Peace, Love, and Hope.

barack and michelle victorious in columbia, sc, jan 26, 2008

Something big happened this weekend. Yes, big. Barack won South Carolina by 28 points, but other things happened.

This was a very hard, contentious and unbelievable week for many Democrats watching South Carolina.

I was born a Democrat. I learned to work precincts with my Democratic mother. Learned to know issues, talk to folk, and when it don't smell right, it isn’t right.

That is what the Clintons mean to me, at this point, they are not right.

Injecting race, purposely into the South Carolina race was a tactic I have not seen since Harold Washington ran for mayor in Chicago. So, excuse me if I feel nauseated and look at The Clintons in a despicable manner.

For the first time in a long time, we, the Democrats are looked at by many in the party and many new to the party for ideals. New Ideals.

After this past week in South Carolina, The Clintons represented a candidate of old, divisive ideals.

Like New Hampshire, no one expected Barack Obama to trounce Hillary Clinton by 28 points. Most polling, if you believe it showed 8-10 points and some closer than that. So, the 28 point defeat of Clinton sent a clear message.

CUT IT OUT. STOP THE DOG WHISTLE TACTICS. RACE DOESN'T MATTER.

When Barack Obama took the stage it was clear that he is the candidate of the future, not the past. He will represent all of us, not some of us. And we can believe him, trust him.

As the crowd yelled directly during Barack's speech: "Race doesn't matter!!! Race doesn't matter!!!!" "We want Change!!!" We want Change!!!" "Yes We Can!!!!" "Yes We Can!!!"

You better believe that many of the millions of Americans that witnessed this agreed 150% to all of that.

Finally, Change That We Believe In. Totally. Barack Obama.

the kennedys and obama at american university for endorsement of obama

Today was incredible.

Today we saw the matriarch, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) endorse Senator Barack Obama, with his son, Congressman Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) and Caroline Kennedy who wrote an op-ed for The New York Times, endorsing Baraack Obama, titled "A President Like My Father."

Seeing the three Kennedys on the stage with Barack, their comments was stirring, moving. For me, it was Caroline Kennedy. This is a woman who regards her personal privacy, highly and does not do this. Now we know, she was so moved to do so, by her children, as I wrote in my diary last night.

But more happened this past week and it all revolved around the divisive tactics of The Clintons. These tactics were and are so dangerous that many democratic establishment, including Senator Kennedy, have told The Clintons to basically knock it off.

We don't have time, as a country, for playing one group against another as Senators Kennedy and Obama indicated today. We need to come together, as one, because when George W. Bush leaves office in January 2009 who knows what the real truth will be, because we never knew it.

We need a leader to bring us together, not with divisive tactics, but to stand as one. The Clintons after South Carolina is not the candidate, they never will be. If they are the candidate, expect fallout from people across this country not voting for them, loss of gains in congress, and the same old 50+1 politics.

It is time for change. The change is Barack Obama.

Obama victory would damage Clinton

Bill Clinton has compared Barack Obama's position on the Iraq war to a "fairy tale." He dismissed the Illinois senator's campaign as based on a "false premise." And he suggested that electing Mr. Obama would be a "roll of the dice."

Mr. Clinton is clearly agitated. At first blush, his outbursts and willingness to insert himself into the middle of the contentious battle between his wife and Senator Obama in the Democratic primary appear to reflect the former president's concern about his wife specifically and, more generally, the outcome of his party's presidential nomination.

But for Mr. Clinton, more is at stake in 2008 than Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's political future. Mr. Obama is also a threat to Mr. Clinton's presidential legacy and to the Clinton machine's lording over the national Democratic Party. more

icebergslim’s last word: barack obama is the underdog.

February 5, 2008 is upon us in eight short days.

The Obama Campaign have built infrastructure in these 22 early states. On the path of the dream that many progressives have wanted, A 50 State Strategy.

We have been on a rollercoaster since the Iowa Caucus. It has been a ride many of us will remember for the rest of our lives, but Obama Supporters and Advocates must keep your eyes on the prize. This means we work as underdogs, because we are.

Hillary Clinton is the establishment candidate. She has establishment behind her. We are a people, powered movement. We are the fire and run The Obama Campaign.

Hillary Clinton will call the chits in on February 5, 2008. The establishment owes The Clintons.

On February 5, 2008, we, The Obama Advocates and Supporters, will be already activated and ready to take our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers to the polls\caucuses for Barack Obama. Elections are won on strength of the candidate and more importantly, the foundation, the ground troops, the GOTV\GOTC.

Barack Obama, himself has said, “he is not supposed to be here.” And he is not, but he is. We are on the cusp of transformational, fundamental change that this country has not had since John F. Kennedy, Jr. It is time for us to step up and move this change forward.

For this to happen, we must fight for it. Change is not what the status quo want, desire or need. Change is what the status quo will tell you, to appease you, for you to vote for them. It is time to turn the status quo off and fight for this change. One person, one vote at a time.

Stand with us for change on February 5, 2008. Stand with Barack Obama.

Obama Wins NEVADA!!!

Yes, he did, technically. Hillary Clinton won the populous vote, whatever it is, but Obama won the vote that matters, the delegate vote. As Chris Bowers break it down:

Until the national media declares that Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election because he won the popular vote, I will continue to assert that Barack Obama won the Democratic caucuses in Nevada. To agree with one statement without agreeing to both statements is to be caught in a logical contradiction. If delegates to the national convention don't determine who won a state in a nomination campaign, then the Electoral College doesn't determine who wins the Presidency in a general election. We all know, of course, that both of those propositions are false.

So, what happened yesterday? Hillary Clinton won the beauty contest, Obama took home the prize, the delegates. Yep, he won yesterday.

Remember, the path to the nomination, starts with the delegate count.

Hillary, Barack, Experience

With all the sniping from the Clinton camp about whether Barack Obama has enough experience to make a strong president, consider another presidential candidate who was far more of a novice. He had the gall to run for president even though he had served a single undistinguished term in the House of Representatives, before being hounded back to his district.

That was Abraham Lincoln.

Another successful president scorned any need for years of apprenticeship in Washington, declaring, “The same old experience is not relevant.” He suggested that the most useful training comes not from hanging around the White House and Congress but rather from experience “rooted in the real lives of real people” so that “it will bring real results if we have the courage to change.”

That was Bill Clinton running in 1992 against George H. W. Bush, who was then trumpeting his own experience over the callow youth of Mr. Clinton. That year Mr. Bush aired a television commercial urging voters to keep America “in the hands of experience.” NYT

Obama on Good Morning America

Barack Obama will be on ABC’s Good Morning America, Monday, January 21, 2008.

I am writing about this because he will primarily address the distortion of former President Bill Clinton about his record. As poblano writes, “It’s about time.”

The negativity, distortion, and yes, straight up lies from the Clinton Campaign and its surrogates has turned the Democratic Party upside down. And the injector of race by the Clintons, has establishment Democrats warn them almost to the point to pick up a microphone and possibly, endorse. For real.

When the former president called Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat gave Clinton an earful, telling him that he bore some blame for the injection of race into the contest. In any event, both Hillary and Obama made peace on the race issue at the Las Vegas debate. The Clinton camp now fears that Kennedy is leaning toward Obama, according to the Clinton source, though Kennedy's office says he is making no endorsement "at this time."

The Clintons need to wake up. The country does not like this, it is hurting out party, they are decidedly “disrespecting” a segment, and Bill Clinton need to go somewhere quietly, sit down, and not say another word.

Obama Seeks to Lower Temperature, Clinton Follows

Seeking the high ground in a Democratic primary battle that turned especially nasty over the weekend, Sen. Barack Obama told reporters this afternoon that he wants to lower the temperature of the debate.

"I've been a little concerned about the tenor of the campaign," Obama said during a hastily called news conference. "I thought that it would be useful for me to just air this out a little bit."

Obama said he does not want the issues to be lost in a battle over personalities and statements about matters tangential to the race, a tone that Sen. Hillary Clinton quickly took as well in a statement issued by her campaign.

"We've got too much at stake at this time in our history to be engaging in this kind of silliness," Obama said. "I suspect that other candidates may feel the same way." Chicago Tribune

icebergslim's last word: nevada and rolling the real dice

Let’s look at things realistically. Nevada.

Much went on in Nevada surrounding the endorsement of the Culinary Union, which spawned a lawsuit by a Teachers’ Union who were surrogates of The Clintons.

Well, the lawsuit was dismissed, as it should have been. But, why it was even brought forward in the first place!! When this mandate of at-large precincts was agreed by The Nevada Democratic Party and all unions and players at the table, last summer. Again a bogus lawsuit.

But the worst thing was seeing Bill Clinton whine and complain about the Culinary Union endorsement and defend the Teachers’ Union lawsuit. In the end, he looked pathetic. And here is this word again associated with The Clintons, disenfranchisement. We saw this in their whining about students voting in Iowa, which was legal and now this. Next, the word dirty politics will be associated with The Clintons. Oh, but let us not forget that per Bill Clinton, Barack Obama is now the Establishment Candidate. Oh, brother, how far does that nose stretch?

Through all this noise, Barack continued to speak to massive crowds throughout Nevada; many had to have overflow rooms. People were patient and eager to hear what Obama had to say.

In the end, Nevada was won by both Clinton and Obama. Clinton for the beauty contest, Obama for what you need to win, the delegates.

How did this happen? Simple. Obama won enough in Clark County, which is Las Vegas Proper, and won the rest of the state. It is that simple.

Many have written that Nevada is a swing state, it is. Saturday was proof if you can win across the state and not just in a major urban city. Obama proved that. Clinton won Clark County, but was destroyed outside of Las Vegas. This tells you that her appeal across the board is limited.

To win in November, we must have a candidate that is appealing across the board, meaning that Independents and Republicans will vote for him. Obama has proven that.

When you talk about rolling the dice, that roll would be to have a candidate in which 50% of the country will not vote for, who is polarizing, and unappealing outside of the Democratic base.

That is the real roll of the dice to possibly, losing.

New Hampshire, what a ride there!!

Really, everyone believed the polling from the candidates to the TV pundits, but in the end Barack lost by only 2% points.

The truth of the matter is this, "No one should believe any polls, until the votes are counted." I have never lived or died by the polls and only really believe them a week out to see the trend, now forget the polls.

Count the votes and pundits shut up.

Michelle Obama: Husband is No "Fairytale"

Michelle Obama said Sunday her husband is the person America needs in the White House right now and criticized anyone who would dismiss his campaign as being built on illusion or fairytale.

She said Barack Obama is the right candidate "not because of the color of his skin, but because of the quality and consistency of his character" and that postponing his bid for the White House was not an option.

"I know about the sense of doubt and fear about what the future holds, that keeps us hoping and waiting for a turn that will never come," she said. "There are a lot of doubters and naysayers out there talking about, 'I'm not sure America is ready for a black president.'"

But she declared that "we are more ready and prepared than we can ever know." AP

Who's Afraid of Obama?

Ever since he threw his hat into the presidential ring, some liberals have worried that Barack Obama is unelectable. This country, they say, simply isn't ready for a black president. Ultimately, the concern that Obama can't win because he's black says a lot more about the people who voice it than it does about the electorate it purportedly describes. So, who are these people, and what's really behind their anxiety?

It's tempting to say the "electability" worry is a pretext for people who really oppose Obama due to their own racial prejudices, and I'm sure that's true in some cases. But it's the folks who worry for Obama for his own good who are most fascinating. Lots of black people have said they think Obama can't win and others—predominantly from the Southeastern states—have gone further and said they'll vote against him to "protect" him from the inevitable assassination attempts that will dog a black president.

I find it hard to take this rather appalling paternalism seriously, but if it is a pretext, then what is going on in the minds of these defeatists? I suspect there are three distinct reasons for Obama fatalism among liberals of all races: false realism, once-bitten timidity, and investment-in-oppression.

Barack Obama Announces Plan to Revitalize the Economy

Barack Obama today unveiled a plan to revitalize the economy in the short-term with a stimulus package that will immediately inject $75 billion into the economy in the form of tax cuts and direct spending targeted to working families, seniors, homeowners and the unemployed. The plan also includes $45 billion in reserves that can be injected into the economy quickly in the future if the economy continues to deteriorate. Obama will discuss the plan later today at events in Nevada.

“The time has come to bridge the growing divide between Main Street and Wall Street,” said Barack Obama. “The American Dream is slipping out of reach for many families whose paychecks aren’t meeting the increased costs of their medical bills and tuition payments. Four months ago I said it was time to put a middle-class tax cut worth $1000 per family into the pockets of workers who deserve it. A tax cut that would eliminate income taxes for seniors who make under $50,000. We can’t wait for the next president to act. We need that middle-class tax cut now more than ever – not five months from now or five weeks from now, but now. I’m announcing a plan to jumpstart the economy by putting money in the pockets of those who need it most and will spend it quickly.”

“Strengthening our economy and creating good-paying jobs will be Barack Obama’s priority from the day he takes office,” said Governor Tim Kaine, who held a conference call with reporters to discuss the plan. “But we must act today. Barack Obama has offered a plan that will restore fairness to the economy and ensure that hard-working Americans can provide for their families and save for their future. Barack Obama offers us the best chance to revitalize our economy because he has the strength to unite Democrats, independents, and Republicans to pass reforms that will invest in all of America.” more

icebergslim’s last word: the clintons

First off, the lost in New Hampshire was stunning. It was for many. After depending on polling both campaigns, the pundits, everyone believed Barack will win New Hampshire. Well, it did not pan out that way, and he lost by 2% points.

Lesson. Wait for the returns. Forget the pundits and spin, wait for the return. Everyone learned a lesson on that one.

Next. Hillary Clinton.

There has been much talk this past week about not only Hillary Clinton but her husband, Bill Clinton. This campaign is being run straight out of the Karl Rove playbook. After watching Meet the Press it was painfully clear.

I don’t agree about the vetting of Barack Obama. Look what he has gone through since his announcement and is still standing. You must also remember, all the smears, foul tactics are from Clinton surrogates and Bill Clinton himself. Let us review their playbook.

Prior to Iowa, there were two different times that Clinton staffers/volunteers were caught spreading the email Muslim smear against Barack Obama. And again, we get a limp, “I did not know. I did not authorize it.”

The Billy Shaheen incident. Shaheen was Clinton’s campaign manager for New Hampshire. His very unsettling remark of the “GOP will ask if Obama sold drugs”, not only outraged the African-American community, but many black establishment picked the phone up and weighed in on The Clintons and their smear tactics. Result, Hillary Clinton, publicly apologized to Barack Obama in D.C. at the airstrip as they were about to fly to Des Moines, Iowa. Billy Shaheen removed from the campaign. Shaheen's wife, Jeanne Shaheen, former Governor of New Hampshier is now running for the senate seat, against, Sununu. Polling has her losing ground since her husband's incident. The good folk of New Hampshire don't like or appreciate slimy campaign tactics.

A former senator from Nebraska, Bob Kerrey, came on board for Hillary Clinton. In doing so, he also made menace of Barack’s heritage, family and name. So many found that over the top and offensive, Kerrey had to apologize.

Hillary referenced the Civil Rights Era as had it not been for LBJ and passing the Civil Rights Act, it would not have been. Stating it took the power of the president to get it done. Well with Martin Luther King, Jr. anniversary upon us in a week, ask many of those who are still alive what they went through. Meaning, many blacks and whites were beaten, dogs attacked, hoses put upon these individuals, and many were killed for ending segregation and justice.

Bill Clinton. Notorious for being all about me, then referenced Obama’s campaign as a fairy tale. Bill Clinton then had to go on Al Sharpton’s radio program to explain his answer and himself. Why? The African-American community was shocked and now angered.

The Clinton Campaign complained and tried to suppress the college, youth vote in Iowa. The campaign complained about out-of-state students participating in the caucus, when the law states clearly that they can. As Clinton advisers stated, "Our people look like caucus-goers [and Obama's] look like Facebook." Now the Clinton Campaign is entrenched in suppressing the caucus goers in Nevada, targeting the casino workers.

All of this leading up to Clinton’s performance on Meet the Press.

Through this program, practically every answer from her mouth was about Barack Obama. Watching this program, you would think Barack was sitting next to her. Literally and figuratively. Tim Russert, then questioned Hillary Clinton’s vote for Iraq, she could not answer straight because she was on the Barack Obama bandwagon.

Since, Donna Brazile, a Democratic Strategist and Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC) have weighed in with displeasure of The Clintons campaign tactics, they have been under the gun. Both are neutral on the race, as far as endorsements, but Clyburn is insinuating that he may just endorse. While all this is going on The Clintons are still implying that the Obama Campaign is the one who have started the veiled race notions, when it is clear and evident that all this has been started by Team Clinton.

As for Barack Obama's response, read it here.

The Democratic Party is a big tent. We have people of all races, ethnicities, backgrounds, etc. This is the party of inclusion, not exclusion. It pains many to see these nasty, dirty tactics being used against Barack Obama. Does vetting from your own party mean, all the above? If so, what kind of party is this?

GOP tactics have no business in this primary season. It does not. Which only make it perfectly clear what The Clintons are about. Winning at all cost, don’t care about any opponent, winning just narrowly, abide by 50+1 guideline, don’t care about a 50 State Strategy, and only care about themselves.

The last time I read, The Democratic Party was not named “The Clinton Party.” We must vote for total change, not some change, total change.

::

Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC) will remain neutral for any endorsements for South Carolina. At this point, one is not needed, the damage by The Clintons has already been done. Read here.
