It’s a shame. If we have to have a Dem as President, I would’ve rather it had been Hillary.

Obama’s a nightmare.

Is he kidding? With Obama’s baggage? He’s hurting. Badly.

IMO Hillary is going to do enough to make sure that Obama doesn’t win the first vote of the convention. After that anything goes.

Obama’s speech, then, was an effort to pivot to the general election and reposition himself as a post-partisan, post-ideological, mainstream, and unifying figure.

Highly partisan
Highly ideological
Not mainstream
Not unifying

Any decent Republican would make mince-meat out of him. But we have McCain, so we'll have to wait and see.

Very perceptive.

The problem is, yes Obama is deepy flawed and trancendently socialist - but our own agenda driven press will do everything to keep voters from realizing this.

Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee for President. . . . absent a complete and unforeseen disaster, it’s a certainty now.

In a sane world, the widespread public airing of Jeremiah Wright's various rantings would have constituted just such a "complete and unforeseen disaster".

I can tell you one thing. Once the Dem nominee is decided, here are the catchwords the Lamestream Media will parrot until you will want to puke:

battle hardened
proven
consensus builder
able to overcome adversity
winner with grace
blah
blah
blah

I don’t care if Denver is still smouldering and the victor is still dripping with his own and the blood of the vanquished. The media will rally like they have never rallied before.

And it is going to feel like they’re p!ssing in that popcorn that we have all be enjoying for so long.

This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why "constitutional experts" like Senator Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.

Obama, a big-shot federal spender
The people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.

The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes.

Hillary is now over the rough part. She has nothing but major victories now in front of her until June 3. She will play up each one as though it were the biggest state in the Union.

Then she will feed the supers the October surprise information that she has been holding back on Obama.

She's in it to win. If she weren't she wouldn't have loaned herself another six million or whatever it was.

The writer of this article appears to be posing as a savant. He brings to mind that compound German word, “Wolkenkuckucksheim” or “Cloud Cuckoo Land”

For Mr. Wehner, denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.

BTW, Petey, I’m betting 10 or less for BO.

Barrack Obama may be the democrat nominee for president, but until he wraps it up with a needed number of delegates, the race goes on. And so it should! Isn’t it bad enough that the democrats have nullified the voters’ preferences with the power of the ‘super-delegates?’ Isn’t it enough that the democrat party has given delegates independent power to overrule the voters’ poll booth preferences? Actually, when you think about it, the democrat party rules look a lot like the rules of Stalinist Russia. What real Americans need to ask is, are these the people we want at the head of our government? Are these the people we want in charge of our national defense? Are these the people we want making decisions about our health care? Are these the people we want deciding on our taxes, on our civil rights, on our ‘pursuit of happiness?’
