The Real Uniter
This is my last love letter to Obama for the day.
My uncle lives in Indiana. He's nearly 70. He's an independent who has always voted for Republicans. This year, he's voting for Barack Obama.
Obama has a well documented history of bringing people with various points of view over to his table. That's right: he's a uniter, not a divider.
I'm a progressive. I think we should have free universal health care. I think we should outlaw guns, abolish the defense department and legalize drugs. I think teachers should be some of the highest paid professionals in the nation.
But it's going to take my uncle in Indiana a while to agree with me on most of those positions. And I'm okay with that. Because I can see that the best president for our nation isn't someone who takes polarizing positions and tries to ram them down people's throat. Here's how a Republican in the Illinois state senate described Obama:
“Obama is an extraordinary man,” he said. “His intellect, his charisma. He’s to the left of me on gun control, abortion. But he can really work with Republicans.”
I'm sick of divisive politics. We need to work together to get ourselves out of a whole lot of messes. And we need leadership that can do that.

Bonehead Plays
"I guess you think that's a bonehead play." - Leo to Tom in Miller's Crossing
This murderous bloodbath we've made in the middle east is possibly the most bonehead play in the history of our young, bonehead-play-prone nation. It'd be nice to blame just Bush. But as anyone with a memory or Google could tell you, Congress acted as Bush's wheel man in this violent, massive smash and grab.
On November 13, 2005, in the Washington Post, John Edwards admitted his culpability in this horrific disaster. Here's how he spelled it out: "I was wrong."
Three words. But Hillary won't say those words. She's kind of like Fonzie.
What's more, she won't exactly say we're not going to be in Iraq for 100 years. She can't really say how long we'll need to be there. But it might be, oh, a hundred years.
So how, exactly, is she different from McCain?
And how can anybody who wants to beat McCain vote for her in a primary against a guy who minces no words about Iraq - or much else.

The Giants and Obama
Please welcome guest blogger "JumpyPants" to the site. --Bob
There's a case to be made that the Giants and Barack Obama have a lot in common at this moment in time and space, being that at the start of their respective seasons, nobody expected to see them as championship contenders, and being that both the Giants and Team Obama have played the long game, have used defeats as opportunities for greater victory, and have surprised many a pundit.
As a New Yorker, I'm hoping the Giants will win in Arizona tomorrow night, and I'd argue that they have the heart to do it. I don't know if Obama will win in Arizona on Tuesday (though he's sure closing in), but I think there's a compelling case to be made that he will win what had, up until a week ago, been considered a sure victory for HRC: California. Add up winning debate performance, Teddy Kennedy's appearance on El Piolin, the LA Times and La Opinion endorsements, his impressive in-state operation, and of course the latest poll numbers, and I wouldn't be surprised to see an upset there. And elsewhere (my predictions - Obama wins Alaska, Cali, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas and North Dakota. He comes within striking distance in Alabama, Arizona, Massachusett, Minnesota and Missouri.
And he takes away a fair number of delegates in NJ and NY - enough to be pretty embarrassing to Senator Clinton.) Obama unquestionably has the momentum, and he does so precisely because he's the opposite of a fairy tale (sorry, Mr. Former President). Obama has the mo because he's himself. I have no doubt that Hillary is a pretty terrific person on a good day, but she has a nearly impossible time showing that humanity. Obama walks and talks like a human being and this resonates with people. He doesn't parse his words, he doesn't make non-denial denials and he knows what the meaning of "is" is. He is not a fairy tale, he is the real deal. And after eight years of the most unreal deal to ever occupy the Oval Office, boy, do we need him.
Oh, and Go Giants!

"I Think I Made A Reasoned Judgement"
I believe that it is abundantly clear that the case that was outlined on behalf of going to the resolution -- not going to war, but going to the resolution -- was a credible case. I was told personally by the White House that they would use the resolution to put the inspectors in. I worked with Senator Levin to make sure we gave them all the intelligence so that we would know what's there.
Some people now think that this was a very clear, open-and-shut case. We bombed them for days in 1998 because Saddam Hussein threw out inspectors. We had evidence that they had a lot of bad stuff for a very long time, which we discovered after the first Gulf War.
Knowing that he was a megalomaniac, knowing he would not want to compete for attention with Osama bin Laden, there were legitimate concerns about what he might do.
So I think I made a reasoned judgment.
--Senator Clinton,
CNN Debate Last Night
I'm just saying... Is this worthy of our support (or silence)?
The "resolution" for which she felt "there was a credible case" was titled: Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002.

Unity! Fuck Yeah!
Michael Shaw wrote a thoughtful response to my latest Huffington Post item. Seriously, it's a great read and makes a lot of sense.
I stand by my view, though, that it seems like a strange time for the progressive blogotubes to remain neutral. Party unity and loyalty never stopped the blogs from favoring Lamont over Lieberman, or Donna Edwards over Al Wynn. Unity never stopped the blogs from hammering the DLC wing of the party. Unity never stopped the blogs from going after otherwise decent Democrats who supported the wrong side of FISA, Bankruptcy, Iran, Iraq, Military Commissions, etc.
So why now?
We're all going to hug and make-up once there's a presumptive nominee anyway. That's the way it always works. Four years ago, Howard Dean supporters shifted their enthusiasm over to Senator Kerry. In 1992, I published articles in favor of Paul Tsongas but when President Clinton became the presumptive nominee, I switched my support and ended up a feverish defender of all things Clinton for eight years. And I suspect the same thing will happen this year if Senator Obama drops out. Vice versa for supporters of Senator Clinton.
Even the primary process itself is designed to behave like shifting sands. Superdelegates, for example, are out there endorsing candidates all over the place -- but when there's eventually a presumptive nominee, the superdelegates will flip over and support that nominee with whole-hearted enthusiasm and zeal. That's the system even though it's a screwy one.
(On the delegate tip, by the way, a brokered convention is never going to happen. We'll have a presumptive nominee long before then. It would be party suicide -- on either side of this thing. The party, quite simply, won't allow it.)
So that's all I have to say about that. My support for Senator Obama notwithstanding, if Senator Clinton wins the nomination, we'll have to reconcile her Iraq votes, her posture on censorship, her suspicious campaign tactics, and all the rest. But we've done it before and we'll do it again.

Ending The Hubris
Wow that's a boring headline. But Senator Obama said it better last night:
I will offer a clear contrast as somebody who never supported this war, thought it was a bad idea. I don't want to just end the war, but I want to end the mindset that got us into war in the first place.

Iraqi men mourn relatives killed in a suicide bombing in Baghdad, Iraq, Friday, Feb. 1, 2008. A pair of female suicide bombers blew themselves up Friday in two Baghdad pet markets, killing at least 64 people and wounding dozens, police said. The attacks were the deadliest in the Iraqi capital since 30,000 more American forces flooded into the center of the country last spring.

I've been asked how I can tolerate looking at right-wing sites and pundit shows. TRex answers:
The problem with ripping on Michelle “Aryan on the Inside” Malkin is that once you start, it’s very hard to stop. She is sort of the Internet’s One Stop Shop for Wingnut Dementia Studies. Where else on the web can you find a voice so thoroughly out of touch with reality, and yet proudly, nay, brazenly so? In the Malkiniverse, down is up, hello is goodbye, wrong is right, and white is, well, the only skin color to have if you’re going to rule the world and keep it safe from all those dirty foreigners.

The Clinton-Lieberman Censorship Crusade
When I compared the present situation to Lamont vs. Lieberman, I entirely forgot about Senator Clinton's awesome partnership with Joe Lieberman on attempting to censor and even ban outright certain video games.
Since Tipper Gore's PMRC efforts in the '80s through Clinton-Lieberman and the Family Entertainment Protection Act (FEPA), I've always felt this was the absolute wrong side of the issue for Democrats. And of course any Democrat who partners with Joe Lieberman has to be on the wrong side of something.
Lieberman! Censorship! The DLC! Family dynasties! Voting to invade and occupy Iraq! Hillary '08!

If you're disgusted by censorship and if you dig video games, read this and this. Note who Senator Clinton is working with on her censorship efforts.
9:43PM
Senator Obama wins on the censorship discussion here. Senator Clinton is all about censorship and Obama wants parents to be more active.
9:41PM
Senator Clinton's remarks on Iraq are going to be the news out of this thing.
9:37PM
Senator Clinton just argued the GOP case for war in Iraq in trying to explain her vote.
9:31PM
Senator Obama always starts slow, then gets stronger as the night goes on. It's always this way in the debates. He just hit a homerun on Iraq. Senator Clinton, credit where credit is due, has been relaxed and occasionally humorous.

Roy Sekoff On Senator Clinton's Florida Win*
Huffington Post Founding Editor Roy Sekoff spells out the precise reason for Senator Clinton's victory* in Florida.

Markos On The National Obama Ad
In my new Huffington item, I rip the Clintons for campaigning in Florida and, naturally, the pro-Clinton commenters have been retaliating by noting some such Obama national TV ad buy which apparently ran in Florida. As if on cue, Markos, who must be getting similar comments from pro-Clinton people, responds to the counterpoint:
It's a bit pathetic seeing Hillary Clinton's campaign desperately trying to attach significance to her Florida "victory", and she's pinned those efforts on the claim that Obama broke a pledge to campaign in the state by running a national ad that just so happened run in Florida, given that the state is part of our nation.So are Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, and the ad ran in those four states despite the fact that they've already had their primaries and caucuses. When you run a national ad, the whole point is that it runs from coast to coast and everywhere in between. You can't take out states, otherwise it's no longer national.
Right on. Meanwhile, Huffington Post's founding editor Roy Sekoff was on Abrams last night and noted that the margin of victory* for Senator Clinton was entirely due to early voting from several months ago -- prior to the Obama momentum of January. Senator Obama won* among voters who cast their ballot in the last four weeks.

Bloggers Must Choose, Too
I was thinking... It's also time for the major bloggers to get behind one of the remaining candidates. I know the unspoken strategy has been to avoid pissing off a reader-base which may have taken many years to build, but this is only the future of the party we're talking about here.
Again, either candidate will make history, so the choice comes down to a new paradigm -- "change" -- versus more of the same DLC style leadership we've been discontented with for so many years. Honestly, this is Joe Lieberman versus Ned Lamont.
So it's time to pick a side here, bloggers. Start off with, "While I will support the eventual nominee..." or, "While I admire [or respect] both candidates..." And go from there. We'll all make nice after there's an official nominee. Until then, it's time to take a stand on this thing.

Quote Quiz. Who made the following statement? Thom Hartmann or Jim Cramer?
"Ever since the (President) Reagan era, our nation has been regressing and repealing years and years worth of safety net and equal economic justice in the name of discrediting and dismantling the federal government's missions to help solve our nation's collective domestic woes," he said. "We call it deregulation … a covert attempt to eliminate the federal government's domestic responsibilities."

Senator Clinton Wins Nothing
Senator Clinton campaigned in Florida but told Keith Olbermann that she complied with the Democratic pledge to stay out. She's run a very dishonest campaign so far, parsing words and sending out her ex-president husband to act as an unofficial running mate -- speaking in coded race-baiting soundbytes.
Now she's claiming "victory" in Florida in a desperate ploy to regain some momentum after losing in a landslide in South Carolina. AND, because she's desperate, she's planning to actively lobby the party to get the delegates from Florida and Michigan seated at the convention, should it come down to it. Let's be honest, if there was an "R-NY" after her name, we would destroy her dishonest tactics (say nothing of, say, a Republican ex-president running as a de facto running mate).
So... Senator Clinton people, please tell me why we should support this kind of murky campaigning and cynical politics over the positive message of the Obama campaign.
Seriously. If it's cool to break the rules then claim victory in an uncontested competition, the Giants ought to just show up at U of P Stadium on Saturday and celebrate their victory. It'll be way easier, but equally cheap and pathetic.

Prior to 9/11, we weren't attacked on our soil between 1993 and 2001. I'm not a math smarty, but I think that's eight years -- without torturing, wiretaps, preemptive invasion, and without killing habeas corpus.

Oh Come On, Senator
This is ridiculous. The Democratic candidates all pledged to not campaign in Florida because the state party moved its primary without being authorized by the DNC. But after being stomped in South Carolina, Senator Clinton mades some stops there anyway.
Like her rivals, Clinton has agreed to a pledge imposed by national party leaders not to publicly campaign in the state. But after South Carolina, Clinton was skating up against the edge of that agreement and trying to lend some credibility to the outcome Tuesday.She arrived in Florida on Sunday for two events — both closed fundraisers, in keeping with the pledge not to campaign. She clearly winked at that pledge with her arrival, joking about the warm weather and positioning herself so photographers had a palm tree for a backdrop.
Seriously? She's not "campaigning" but a photo-op in front of a palm tree? It depends on what the definition of campaigning is.
Senator Clinton is expected to "win" the Florida primary, but it's not supposed to count. You can also bet that if it comes down to the convention, Senator Clinton will insist that Florida is counted. Oh wait -- she's already on it:
"I will try to persuade my delegates to seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida," said Clinton. "Democrats have to win Michigan and have to try to win Florida and I intend to do that. The people of Florida deserve to be represented in the process of picking a candidate for president of the United States."
Meanwhile, Senators Obama and Edwards are sticking with their pledge to stay out of the state. You know, because they're honorable.

Vermont Town Voting To Arrest Bush & Cheney
This March, Brattleboro residents will vote whether to arrest President Bush and Vice President Cheney for war crimes, espionage and perjury:
BRATTLEBORO — Brattleboro residents will vote at town meeting on whether President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should be indicted and arrested for war crimes, perjury or obstruction of justice if they ever step foot in Vermont. [...] ...the indictments would be the "law of the town of Brattleboro that the Brattleboro police ... arrest and detain George Bush and Richard Cheney in Brattleboro, if they are not duly impeached ..."
It doesn't matter if they'll actually be arrested, I just dig the fact that the words "arrest and detain George Bush and Richard Cheney" is part of the historical record somewhere.

Jesse Jackson In South Carolina
Josh:
...unlike this year South Carolina was only lightly or moderately contested by the frontrunning candidates. And certainly in 1984 and to a large degree in 1988, the nomination contest was already decided, which contributed significantly to Jackson's wins. What's more, caucuses are much easier to win with legwork and organization than primaries if your competitors are not making a big effort in the state.
I find it difficult to believe that President Clinton wasn't aware of this background. All due respect to Jesse Jackson, but he won because the then-caucus was an afterthought in those years.
