McCain Exceeds Public Spending Cap
Sen. John McCain has officially broken the limits imposed by the presidential public financing system, reports filed last night show.
McCain has now spent $58.4 million on his primary effort. Those who have committed to public financing can spend no more than $54 million on their primary bid.
So has McCain broken the law? The answer is far from simple.

Excuse me, but that's not right. If those were unionized federal employees, they'd vote Democrat and their union would contribute to the Democrats. Since they are instead, underpaid contractors working for a crony republican company whose owners contribute directly to the Party, things are much more efficient in terms of keeping Republican control.

He joins other leading Catholics and Catholic MPs demanding to be allowed to vote in line with their conscience.
But Health Minister Ben Bradshaw said it was right to push through the law.
Mr Bradshaw told the BBC the legislation would be "to the potential benefit of many people in this country".

Teachers have escalated their dispute with the government by voting to ballot on a campaign of industrial action over pay, workload and class sizes.
The National Union of Teachers (NUT) will ballot members on a series of possible walkouts in England and Wales.
The move came after delegates at the union's annual conference in Manchester condemned the prime minister's approach to limiting public sector workers' pay.
The NUT is already balloting on a one-day walkout over pay on 24 April.
The ballot closes at the end of the month and if successful will lead to the first national strike for 22 years.

A man thought to be wearing a burka threatened a security driver in Birmingham on 14 March with what is thought to be a firearm before fleeing.
Last Thursday, an armed robber pushing a child's buggy and disguised as a woman in a burka went to the Friends Jewellers in Smethwick, West Midlands.
He was joined by four other men who smashed cabinets before fleeing.

whether its the pessimists in me but i just have this vision of voters been drawn to McCain
he's white, he's old, he's a vet, to those less well informed he doesn't appear radical, his two possible opponents are slogging it out
part of me just doesn't think radicalism and stuff like that is not a winner in America at the moment
from my perspective voters do appear conservative
but who knows, perhaps it will turn out ok

Look for lots more of this. Price-rent ratio is still more than twice what it ought to be, and at the moment you can't make half your mortgage service from rent.
Eventually, all those people who are losing their homes to foreclosure are going to have to go somewhere, bidding rents up as prices continue to drop. But we've got a long way to go yet.

The Dem gets the women, the African Americans, the Latinos, and even some crazy old white men I don't think it will be the blow-out that some people think it will, and I agree w/ Brooklyn that some folks will split their votes to get a Dem Congress and a Repuke WH, but, in the end, and maybe this is just me listening to my own biases, I think America's ready to try something new after 7 years of Bush.

Clinton was Valedictorian at Vassar and gave a world-changing speech and did v. well at Yale Law School. And McCain was in the bottom 5 or 10.

A Taliban commander who has been in hiding for seven years has broken his silence in a video given to TV networks.
Jalaluddin Haqqani, appearing frail but defiant in the video aired on Al Jazeera on Saturday, vowed a renewed campaign in Afghanistan against US and Nato "invaders".
The video shows more than one attack, including what is believed to be a Taliban suicide bombing of an American compound in Afghanistan, alongside a taped message by Haqqani.
"The Americans said the Taliban was beaten and defeated but we are not defeated," said Haqqani in the video.
"It was our tactical plan to fade away and prepare for a guerrilla war."

I have a lot of older customers and I've never heard so many talk about voting Dem as this year. A lot of it seems tied to a dislike of the war.
That should get you as far as Governor of Virginia, at least.
The governor of VA is a Dem who has been great on rejecting abstinence education, for example. We've already got one Dem Senator and likely will have two come November. My Congress critter is Jim Moran, as blue as you wanna be. You'll have to find another state to use as a "bad example". VA's going blue in 2008 if I have to spend every weekend this summer handing out campaign literature in the hot sun.
It is absolutely true that the MSM is in the tank for McCain, and while we're at it, for Bush & Co.
It's gonna cost 'em. It IS costin' 'em. Fewer and fewer people get their news from the papers or even the nightly news shows. And those that do are over 50, mostly.
So, they're gonna have to do something. One possibility that may occur to a few of 'em is start telling the truth.
I know, I know, that's a drastic measure, but hey, drastic times call for them.
And folks, nothing motivates journalists like the possibility of losing their job.
But that's the Repukkke base, and as the polls are showing, that base is shrinking.

OT: Brazil's Defence Minister Nelson Jobim says the military is ready to help the city of Rio de Janeiro deal with rising numbers of dengue fever cases.
Some 48 people have now died across the state of Rio since the start of 2008.
The vast majority of victims have been in the city itself, where hospitals have been struggling to cope.
Dengue fever - which is transmitted by mosquitoes - causes high temperature, headaches and muscle pain and, in extreme cases, it can kill.
The impact is increasingly being felt in urban areas where stagnant waters are an attractive breeding ground for mosquitoes.
While overall, federal officials say the number of cases in Brazil have fallen, in the state of Rio de Janeiro there has been a significant rise - more than 33,000 this year - prompting one leading doctor to describe it as a catastrophe.

As is the youth vote, who'd better realize that if McCain wants to implement his policy of staying in Iraq for 100 years, he can't do it with the current military. He's going to have to reinstate the draft.

My mom's an elderly white person, and she doesn't have a racist bone in her body. She was brought up in a multicultural neighborhood - Muskegon Heights.
My dad, however, was a different story, and he could get very ugly, but I think between my mom and his seven kids, by the time he died, we softened him up quite a bit. At least he quit uttering racial slurs in front of us.

This year we're changing our Warners.
I want the person with the (D) to win -- it might be this nation's best last chance -- I also don't expect the dramatic changes we need if a Democrat is elected -- there is still far too much denial in this country (see reactions to the remarks by Obama's former pastor) -- but I am afraid of complacency ("Kerry's a decorated war veteran, so they can't attack his patriotism compared the draft dodging Bush") -- this will be a big fight -- if McCain fails to carry Texas, I will be astonished (to put it mildly) -- I'm looking at the Electoral College map for where to likely pickups & losses are & I don't like what I see -- I want to be wrong, but please believe that this will be a bitter & ugly fight!
I have a lot of older customers and I've never heard so many talk about voting Dem as this year. A lot of it seems tied to a dislike of the war.

But that's the Repukkke base, and as the polls are showing, that base is shrinking. There aren't enough of them left to elect a Prez on their own...and unlike 2000 and 2004 Indpendents are breaking Dem this year.

McCain is someone different than Dubya and they will give him the benefit of the doubt. Remember they lean Republican to start with.
And it was such a nice day out, too.
Looking forward to those Obama-McCain debates, with the old cranky dude getting wound up by an expert, smart gentle needler. I think Obama should flash that sweet smile and have fun with it.

But I don't see a lot of complacency out there. Most people I know are determined to see a Dem win this year and willing to fight for it.

Has any president in a century been elected without Ohio? How are they gonna pull that one off? Ohio's got a D governor, and a D SecState. If there are any election shenanigans (and I don't want there to be any), they ain't gonna favor God's Own Party.

Gimlet
Not anymore they don't.
The Democratic Party has also built a substantial edge among independent voters. Of the 37% who claim no party identification, 15% lean Democratic, 10% lean Republican, and 12% have no leaning either way.
By comparison, in 2004 about equal numbers of independents leaned toward both parties. When "leaners" are combined with partisans, however, the Democratic Party now holds a 14-point advantage among voters nationwide (51% Dem/lean-Dem to 37% Rep/lean-Rep), up from a three-point advantage four years ago.
Obamites and Hillaryphils might enhance their chances and their country's future by directing their venom against McCain rather than each other. May the nomination go to that candidate landing the most heaviest blows on Mr. McCain and his ilk. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see Mr. McCain double-teamed?

Apparently I thing so.
Where has all the rage gone?
Well, there were massive demonstrations all around the world protesting the invasion of Iraq (before it happened) & it did no good -- most people need some indications that their actions mean something or they lose heart (or so it seems to me) -- an inspirational leader can help, but if that person fades away (or loses heart) it is not a good sign -- I do believe that eventually the truth will prevail, but eventually all the people I love are already dead -- I want good things for them NOW!

When gas is nearly five bucks a gallon, when the numbers of US troops in Iraq are either static or (more likely) increasing, when winter's coming, food costs a ton, the economy is cratering, do you really think there won't be a few disaffected people in this country, for whom business as usual simply won't be the way they want to vote?
If McCain carries more than five states, I'll be astounded. Even if the nuts attack us in October.
Which I halfway expect.

nobody ever lost money betting on the stupidity of the american public.
The United States really digs feeling good about itself, and we've earned it at times, but this is not one of those times.
Ohio's got a D governor, and a D SecState.
The D SecState is crucial. I said over and over that I wouldn't give a Dem pres. candidate a penny if Dean didn't manage to get a D SecState in either Ohio or Fla. Dean did id and my checkbook's been hurting ever since. I believe that Hillary, for sure, and Obama, likely, can take Ohio this time, although it may go to a court fight and I sure as hell hope that either of them is willing to go that far. McCain will be.

Reagan Democrats. The foundation of the Southern Strategy. They've been voting Repukkke for years. They're not going to be any new loss to the Dems.

Oh sure, there's some. But they made sure to interview all the good solid God-fearing men and women who hate abortion and gays, not necessarily in that order. They think McCain is a little lax in the hatred department, but they'll still vote for him.

Howard Dean showed up in florida to make sure that the butterfly ballot scuzzbucket lost.
which shows that howard understands something the dipshit DC Dems never could.
Lots of things have come together such that this generation doesn't do demonstrations. Starting with the triumph of the automobile, which has re-formed both city and personal landscapes, and ending with the media's portrayal of them (not without plenty of help from the demonstrators) as nut shows.

"... no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans, We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude? - Pat Buchanan on Obama's race speech
It's not just that Dems are getting voters out in record numbers, it's the record breaking $ as well. I think we have a very good shot at taking it all.
That being said, not one of my new neighbors have said they will vote for Barrack. The died in the wool repukes who honestly believe that Hillary is a lesbian and killed Vince Foster I can understand, but there are only two of them. The others certainly don't consider themselves racists but I don't know what else to think.
I apologize for the lawn jockey comment, but I am white and from the south and have many elderly relatives and have quite a few elderly aquaintances, and I can tell you that Obama was right in his radio address after his speech the other day when he called his grandmother a typical white woman (and no I don't think he threw her under the bus). These people, some of whom I love dearly and others of whom I am quite fond are still very comfortable using the "N" word, although it makes my skin crawl.
Obama called on us to address the race issue as something real and not as a spectacle. If we do not acknowledge that there are still very real racial attitudes out there, and many of them in the elderly white population then that conversation cannot occur.
I do believe that many of John McCains constituents are made up of that group. They are more comfortable with a white man in the position of President of the United States.
It is what it is.
I tell ya, Lipton makes a mean noodle.
I think you may be misunderestimating what it would take to put the red states in play.

A friend of mine has been doing lots of research into the history of American slavery and she's got records that show that "pretty" slaves were allowed to make the passage above decks where they were available for rape by the sailors while "ugly" slaves were assigned below-decks where most of the killing disease broke out.
Yea, we've got to start raising hell with the new president. If we, us citizens, don't force the issue, American troops will be in Iraq another 20 years, at least.
I was excited by the young people that Obama actually seemed to be getting to vote (before young people had always been all talk & no action) but then it seemed to stop -- we need to change the normal way of operating in this country & we need to do it decades ago!
Carter told us he would never lie to us & he didn't & we never forgave him.

Yep. It was very nice. Went down to spend some time with the old folks. It was very pleasant.
I stand corrected on "apocryphal". [bows to SteveLG]
I only thought so because I remember being told that joke in grade school-- maybe Dan decided to write a song to hang on it. 
Otherwise: Alas! that I should betray my roots and venture an unkindness on the eve of the great Christian high holiday of renewal and reconciliation.
But when I read the excerpt upthread about poor benighted Mrs. Yarnick being ready to cast her vote for Kid Shelleen (fka Maverick) because, in essence, he's a very clean old man, I immediately bethought myself of the title of a bluegrass band album called "Old and in the Way".
[Great album-- Jerry Garcia, Peter Rowan, David Grisman, Vassar Clements...]
But it also reminds me of my own grandma, ✝1976-- a smart, sweet, shrewd, good-humored woman. As an Italian-American, it's not too surprising that she admired Frank Rizzo, quondam Police Commissioner and Mayor of Philly. Not in a dopey, slavish, idolizing way-- she just saw him as a decent, dedicated man trying to do a good job.
She was also sympathetic to Nixon-- as a high school freshman growing out my hair and drifting steadily to the "left" (as we called it in those days), I had a couple of good-natured chats with her about him. "He's a good man! Why don't they leave him the hell alone?" was her good-humored refrain.
I was too inexperience to recognize a crucial disconnect, which is that grandma wasn't particularly interested in policies and theories-- she implicitly took that to be his business. She simply judged him to be a sincere and responsible leader, and saw dissenters as kibitzers or hecklers giving him a hard time.
I'm pretty sure she voted for him, incidentally.
So I have some experience with Mrs. Yarnicks. I suppose the question becomes whether they remain numerous enough to make a difference.

To be honest, I think that. I think it of Hillary and I think it of Obama. I thought it of Gore and of Kucinich, as well.
We, the people, have a role to play in Democracy. Just electing someone to the WH, even someone who seems cool, isn't going to do it. It requires more from us than many of us are/have been willing to give.
Thing is, I don't trust either Obama or Clinton to end the war.
It's not a war. Been saying it for years.
When both sides are shooting at you, it's a police action, and you're the police.
There are countries that are far better temperamentally suited to police actions than we are. Canada, for instance.
We have a problem, though, in seeking their assistance in cleaning up the mess that we made in Iraq. We would have to go to the UN, admit that we fucked up, and ask for help in cleaning up.
Will either Obama or Clinton do that? Unclear. I tend to think however that neither of them will be highly inclined to make waves.

I won't object to Senator Clinton getting the nomination -- I will advocate her victory & vote for her -- she is a centrist Dem & so is Senator Obama -- both are politicians who have compromised on their convictions to survive in politics -- that makes them like every politicians who has ever accomplished anything (& is a reason why I would be a lousy politician) -- so my head won't explode (but I would have preferred Edwards -- both on the issues & in the Electoral College -- as would Chicago Dyke, so it's not just us straight white males)
Terry C! Still hanging out in this dump I see. Very sad.

Prior, about the young folks, the surest way to turn them off is to squash Obama's message of hope and of participation.

The War Between the States was about independence, about self-determination, about the right of a people to break free of a government to which they could no longer give allegiance. How long is this endless groveling before every cry of "racism" going to continue before the whole country collectively throws up?
-- Pat Buchanan, accusing someone of "putting on an act" by associating the Confederacy with slavery, July 28, 1993, quoted from Political Amazon's "Quotes from Hell"
There were no politics to polarize us then, to magnify every slight. The "negroes" of Washington had their public schools, restaurants, bars, movie houses, playgrounds and churches; and we had ours.

We were among Hoover's conduits to the American people,

[For President Nixon to visit King's widow on the anniversary of King's assassination because it would] outrage many, many people who believe Dr. King was a fraud and a demagogue and perhaps worse.... Others consider him the Devil incarnate. Dr. King is one of the most divisive men in contemporary history.
-- Pat Buchanan, while working as a White House adviser to Nixon, reported in the New York Daily News, October 1, 1990, quoted from Political Amazon's "Quotes from Hell"
Take a hard look at [KKK leader David] Duke's portfolio of winning issues and expropriate those not in conflict with GOP principles [such as] reverse discrimination against white folks.

Mrs. Yarnicks. I suppose the question becomes whether they remain numerous enough to make a difference.
Or, whether their grandchildren keep engaging them in sincere dialogue. I've taken a vow to consider everything that G/Son says seriously and from a new perspective. Right now, that means that I spend time seriously considering "Nonna! Want Elmo now!" But it also means that I seriously consider things like "Why" in response to my explanations that "Everyone dies sometime" and "We have to pay the nice lady for the meal", as well. We old people really do want to hear what younger people say. Keep talking to us.
They both say they are going to leave enough soldiers there to protect the embassy. How many will that be? 50,000, 100,00? And a residual force in the neighborhood just in case terrorists take over or something.

DWD -- Again -- I devoutly hope you are right, but the Republicans are the NGP (Natural Governing Party) in Ohio ... something had to give -- the urban voters (blacks & unions) are strong (D) -- the rural voters are strong (R) -- the race card is strong (as the Republicans found by trying to run a black man -- doesn't work)

No, not really, Ohio's been purple for some time. When I moved here in 1980, Rhodes may have been the gov, but Metzenbaum and Glenn were the Sens. And then in 1982, we elected Celeste. While a lot of rural Ohioans are racists and misogynist, I do not think the republicans can win here in Nov unless they steal it, and it's going to be hard for them to do that.
if she gets it against the wishes of the popular vote and the regular delegate count going into the convention,the Democratic Party will explode.
I stayed up late last night reading a thread at Ezra's place.
It was pretty upsetting.
My sense has been that the Clinton people are doing visibility stuff, but not actually trying to register anybody in Philly, since they know that most people they register would be Obama supporters.
Within his character, personality, humor and habits of mind, I see stores of likability or charisma in Sen. Obama that he hasn't yet put to use. There's charm there in reserve for a long campaign. McCain, perhaps not so much.

So Bill Clinton doesn't think Obama loves this country? What is the "other stuff" that he is afraid people will have to ask themselves about if Obama is the candidate?
Just exactly what was Bill implying?
As an Italian-American, it's not too surprising that she admired Frank Rizzo, quondam Police Commissioner and Mayor of Philly. Not in a dopey, slavish, idolizing way-- she just saw him as a decent, dedicated man trying to do a good job.
An embarrassment and the laughing stock of the nation.
Once said his police force could invade Cuba successfully.
A blustering bully of the worst type.
And anti-intellectual to the max. I don't think the man had picked up a book since he'd left high school.
There are countries that are far better temperamentally suited to police actions than we are. Canada, for instance.
The biggest myth Canada holds about itself is that it is a great peacekeeper. People said it as Canadian troops overthrew the democratically elected Aristide. They say it now, when Canadian troops are doing the Americans' bidding in Afghanistan.
We old people really do want to hear what younger people say. Keep talking to us.
May I point out that you are not OLD??
kai thx
why is the canadian temperament better suited to police actions, t?
how long do you think the average American would put up with images of the US Army wearing blue helmets in, for instance, Darfur?
not very fucking long, I say.

Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody.

Like all idolatries, democratism substitutes a false god for the real, a love of process for a love of country.

We have eight months. That's a long time for these people to get familiar with and learn to like Obama.
Yeah.
I guess what I'm implying is that if it weren't the speech, it'd be his middle name. And if it weren't his middle name, it'd be that he's a lawyer.
There's a gazillion excuses for folks who can't admit they're wrong; and won't admit that they could be moved by someone or something.
I'll vote for Hillary but not with a lot of enthusiasm. Her dubious rhetoric and campaign negativity against another Democrat has soured me a bit.
I'd prefer Obama, who has tried to offer and up-beat message, while all those around him seem mired in the poltical muck of character assassination.
Meanwhile, in the real world...
My sense has been that the Clinton people are doing visibility stuff, but not actually trying to register anybody in Philly, since they know that most people they register would be Obama supporters.
That's probably right. And the Obama campaign's whole organization thing depends on people using their personal relationships to gain supporters.
It's a different mindset.

I doubt canadian troops engaged in combat anywhere on this earth do so in the garb of the UN. anyway, there's nothing in the mythical canadian temperament that makes them better or worse than any american, french or iraqi soldier so your original comment is still a mystery.

The biggest myth Canada holds about itself is that it is a great peacekeeper. People said it as Canadian troops overthrew the democratically elected Aristide. They say it now, when Canadian troops are doing the Americans' bidding in Afghanistan.
I didn't say Canada was a great peacekeeper. What I meant to say is that there are lots of countries that would accept UN missions as legitimate use of their armed forces without, for example, insisting that their troops work under their own command.

I live in Boehner's district. When they redid the district the repubs were in charge and split dayton into two districts, diluting the Democrats power in terms of Congressional voting. But Ohioans, even the rural ones, are pissed, and worried about the war and the economy.
4 years ago the Bush-lovers at work were loud and 'proud', now they're quiet, and those of us who aren't Rethugs aren't afraid to make rude comments about the war.
I think we can take Ohio, it won't be easy, but if it's an honest vote, we should win.

Well, I don't mean they should go out of their way to change their message, but I do feel they should at least try to engage them.
How? By adopting the fucking 50 STATE STRATEGY.

Well, that's sort of what I mean. Don't focus on them, but don't exclude them.

I MUST READ TERRY CS WISDOM
SHE IS THE SMARTEST PARTIPANT IN THIS FORUM
And to save any twit the embarassment of correcting my spelling, it should be "should."
Life moves on, the wheel turns, we hope our descendants will remember us and call our names at Samhein and not hate us for our mistakes. Somehow, Obama's G/mother raised a v. smart G/Son.

A couple months after Dad died, Mom called us 'girls' to apologize for all the 'mistakes' she and dad had made when raising us (I think she was worried that she'd turned out more like her mom than she'd wanted to). I couldn't decide whether to cry or yell at her for thinking that way.
Heckuva job, Condi!

Diane C., that's yet another terrifying example of the Cheney Doctrine.
He, Rummy, and W are all insane monsters who can't be taken fast enough to the Hague.
And Condi, who also deserves to join them, is little more than a marionette with expensive shoes.
"Oh, let's just look the other way. They're just conservative white Christians, after all. Maybe that's how they talk."

BHO tithes to Wright's church in the five figures. That's trying to purchase something, isn't it? Racial authenticity?
BHO isn't the product of the Civil Rights movement. He's an overprivileged phoney.
Like the '04 nominee, actually.
Anyway, most on this blog and the left blogosphere deserve more republicanism and certainly most in this society, so be it.
Marry me, Toby.

Naturally, the edited by goopers version is misleading...it's the Dean scream all over again.

Help!
Clinton now leads Barack Obama 51 percent to 35 percent among likely Democratic primary voters, according to the Franklin and Marshall College Poll. In February, the same poll found that Clinton was ahead by half that margin, 44 percent to 37 percent.
Wow!
Here in Bryn Mawr there are several Obama supporters registering people, no Clinton people doing such.
I wonder if the Clinton people regisitering people is actually counterproductive in Philly, cause its not like they ask people who they are voting for before they register them, and Philly is going to go for Obama by a huge margin.
Obama campaign workers out in force in Bucks County - knocked on our door to ask if we'd consider changing from "unaffiliated" to Democrat in order to vote for Obama in the primary. We did so right away, and will vote for Obama. Trekked on over to Main St.in Doylestown and signed up to volunteer.
Clinton supporters "Out on the streets": They're wandering ... aimless ... disconsolate ... sometimes gibbering senseless bits of nonsense ... their glazed eyes blinking, empty ... sometimes they scream, sometimes they punch the air.
Help them! Help them get the help that they need!
That's because Obama is trying to register independents and Republicans, his base, as fake Democrats in his ongoing attempt to trick the Democratic party into nominating a Republican.
