Check out thepage.com.  These "advisers" certainly have an agenda when they show such courage by talking anonymously to reporters about their former bosses' feelings.  At least John Weaver had the guts to put his name on paper when he slammed John McCain.

Nevertheless, the link to that first video of HRC at the "unity" fundraiser is her raw and real though.  Probably more Obama supporters here would be wise to take the lady's advice.

The wife's away, so I'm back to bachelor life -- a cheeseburger (she's mostly veggie), Halo, SportsCenter, and Star Trek.

God I am one big stereotype.

going to minneapolis this month.  stupid flight's dlayed until the next morning, so i'll be in minn/st pal 2 days before the repug convention.  oh da ironings

report due tomorrow, somebody is asking for review slides by Friday, a sensor needs to work..

My office laptop just died on me ...Ah Dell..

So browsing MyDD...hah...

for a dinner, catfish wrote a great diary, and now its gone. It should not be. Obama is pretty arrogant and smug to snub the only two term Democrat he's been alive for.

Although this constant media thing over the race is getting annoying...CNN had a headline going "Obama squeaks by McCain in new poll"...now when I hear "squeaks by" i think, 1,2 pt lead...3 maybe...but 5?!? 5 points?!?!.....but anyway as much as it's getting annoying the anytime a new poll comes out, it always has to have some negative connotation to it, i do think Obama needs to start going a little more negative.

Negative advertising works.

Sad to say, but true...now I don't think full out "McCain wants to abduct your children, smack his wife and label them all c*nts"....but I do think the connection between him and GW needs to be advertised harder along with more ads trying to portray McCain as a constant negative old man

about JE earlier ...it had no place here...

A Guide to the Sleaziest (and Most Contradictory) Smears on the Dem Nominee

Each election cycle, we're exposed to editorial-page tooth-gnashing about the media's relentless focus on political personalities over issues. While everyone is meant to make frowny-faces over this, for the GOP, it's the natural state of affairs. After all, its positions on the issues aren't going to win any elections: Help the rich get richer, ignore anyone who's hurt by economic downturns, deny people medical care, promote cultural division, and keep supporting a highly unpopular war. That's a whole lot of hard sells, right there; why go to the public with that when you can just accuse your opponent of being the Antichrist?

Such has been the approach of the GOP for the last 25 years or so, and it worked so well with Bill Clinton (well, except for the little detail of him winning two elections), Republicans see no reason to change the script for Barack Obama. Through their reliable toadies of the Internet, the local GOP apparatchiks, and the wingnut-welfare media, they're pulling out all the stops to make sure everyone in America knows that the Democratic candidate for president is located on a moral compass somewhere northwest of Adolf Hitler and southeast of Osama bin Laden.

Unfortunately, many undecided voters are perplexed. They detect a certain inconsistency to the Right's attacks on "B. Hussein Obama," and they aren't quite sure what they're meant to hate him for. Is he a radical Islamist terrorist, or a reverse-racist Christian fanatic? Is he a fist-bumping ghetto gangsta, or an arugula-munching metrosexual elitist? Is he too black, or not black enough? In this guide to the perplexed, we'll help our right-wing brethren get their stories straight by laying out the case (however bogus) against Obama, noting its flaws and strengths, and giving friendly, well-meaning advice about where they should go from here....

How come kingsbridge's diary was deleted?  Assuming that's the missing spot on the rec list.

I mean, not that I'm complaining.

thank you for your concern.
