Barack Obama: Time For A Generation Shift

On November 7: In Harlem: For Obama

John McCain should have run against John Kennedy. Leave Obama alone. Kennedy was a generation shift, as was Clinton. 16 years of baby boomers is enough. It is time for Obama.

Next Stop: White House

It will be easy for Obama to neutralize Hillary on money and organization. He just has to turn Obama 2008 into the first internet campaign. The internet is going to have to take centerstage. And so you go on for a thrilling competition of ideas.

The Matrix
Democratic Vision For The 21st Century

Bill Clinton is Hillary Clinton's greatest strength, but also her number one weakness. The guy can't keep his mouth shut. He lacks discipline. He is going to suck up the oxygen, hog the space. He is going to think this is 1992, part two. Enter James Carville. That is going to be a putoff.

"I can't think in front of a computer."
- Hillary Clinton

Bill Clinton has sent a total of two emails in his life. Obama blogs.

The Audacity Of Gravitas: Restore Intelligence To The White House

Barack Obama can announce in January that he is running. Hillary can't. She will have to wait longer.

A Different Kind Of Campaign: A Scientific Campaign

Whities on Capitol Hill are trying to saddle Obama with Senate assignments. That is okay. When he announces he is running, he resigns from those ties and pins, but keeps his Senate seat.

Barack "blank" Obama and disingenuous politics of "understanding" Town Hall has been anointed by the mainstream media as a frontrunner for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. ....... the Obama media fawning has had a dramatic impact ....... He has virtually no voting record; he has virtually no articulated positions ..... Clinton ran as "The Man from Hope." Obama runs as "The Man Who Understands ." ......... he is an African-American man who doesn't threaten white folks -- he understands them ...... Only one question remains: Where's the meat? It's all well and good to campaign on the basis of "common sense" and "smart government" ...... blaming terrorism on "the underlying struggle" between "worlds of plenty and worlds of want" -- a neo-Marxist interpretation of the rise of Islamofascism. ...... how narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into despair and violence ...... "I know that the response of the powerful to this disorder -- alternating as it does between a dull complacency and, when the disorder spills out of its proscribed confines, a steady, unthinking application of force, of longer prison sentences and more sophisticated military hardware -- is inadequate to the task." ..... His positions, when he takes them, invariably lean toward radical liberalism. A true politics of understanding would recognize that some things are not worth understanding, or tolerating.

ABC's Sawyer to Obama: Is the US 'More Racist or Sexist?' NewsBusters The most eyebrow-raising moment of the interview, however, occurred when Sawyer asked Obama about Sunday’s Washington Post article which questioned whether racism and sexism plays a role in the decision-making of American voters ...... 90 percent of Americans say that race does not matter when they go to the polls. However, a lot of pollsters think that not everybody is telling the truth ........ Obama: "You know, my sense is, whether it's a African-American candidate running, a woman candidate running, if it's non--a non-traditional candidate, there's an additional threshold that you have to meet. I think you have to show people competence in a way that, if you're a white male, you may not have to show initially. But once you do, I think people are willing to judge you on the merits, they're willing to judge you as an individual. The key is getting known and getting people comfortable. And at that point, then I think they're willing to, to, to look at the individual, as opposed to their, their sex or their, or their race."
