Maybe HRC is a racist but since I don't really listen to the American news, I am not exposed to it.
I think that given the political climate in which Bill Clinton worked in the 90's, he did a very good job, and from everything that I've read, HRC is a much better administrator and concensus-seeker than her husband.
Obama doesn't have that track record, although he might possess these abilities. He seems like a better campaigner than administrator.

anyway, I have to go out and enjoy the city of lights.
bye.
racymind rules. But we knew that.
Well, according to this article I just read, Clinton is staying in till the convention, or until Obama reaches 2,209 delegates (which includes Michigan and Florida). So I think she's going scorched earth.
Sinfonian, I'm guessing you've got the kids this weekend.
I don't agree with HRC being a better administrator based on the example of the disaster of her campaign organization, compared to the brilliance and cohesion of his. Its about deferring to smart people, rather than loyal people, which is the real break from Bush that needs to happen.
That being said, you can't deny that her heart has been with progressive causes for some time, and she's been a good rallying point. But it's true, her most important leadership moment is right now, in fixing the rabid divisiveness she's created among her followers, but also Obama's.
"Maybe HRC is a racist but since I don't really listen to the American news, I am not exposed to it."
Out of earshot out of mind?
"from everything that I've read, HRC is a much better administrator and concensus-seeker than her husband."
What consensus? She's just announced that she's Queen of White America.
Thx Sallyh. Now if only Sinfonian will be my vice-president.
Who would even want Obama to be Jesus? Jesus was crucified, and it took a few hundred years after that for his followers to get any real political power. By that time, of course, his real message had been utterly corrupted. No thank you.
Atrios, "vary persuasuive?" Damn spellcheck.
A-Man, you keep on being all reasonable and shit, the Leftospherian firebrands are gonna throw you under the bus with Josh.

"That being said, you can't deny that her heart has been with progressive causes for some time, and she's been a good rallying point. "
What heart?
From linky:
Publicly, Mrs. Clinton is signaling that she is in the fight to win. In her speeches and in personal pleas to undecided superdelegates, she argues that she has proved better than Mr. Obama at attracting support from Latinos, Roman Catholics and older and working-class voters, and is better equipped than he is to win the swing states in November.
“There is no margin for error,” she said on Thursday night at a fairground in Central Point, Ore. “We need to elect someone who understands how Washington works and is ready from Day 1.”
This is what's bugged me about her campaign....this talk that we're collectively strapped to a suicide belt and, by not voting for her, the belt will blow up. It's not "do or die" by any stretch of the imagination.
Barack Obama is Jesus

The biggest thing Clinton has ever had to administrate was this campaign.

Okay, here's the deal.
Hillary talked about winning "hard working white people."
Obviously, that's as opposed to "shiftless, lazy black people."
I'm sorry it's code (crude, but familiar), it's racist, and she knew what she said when said it.
I simply do not see how anybody who supports her can rationalize it as anything else.
End of rant, even though it's Saturday.
The question is whether either of them would be better than McCain and the question is undoubtedly yes -- loads fuckin' better.
So once we know who the nominee is going to be, it's time to stop being assholes towards each other.
Sadly, from 14 to 80 there are a lot of immature a-holes out there.
So did mememe make itself a RIL sockpuppet on that last thread, or does she really think she can get anywhere by making nice with it? I was pretty perplexed by that.

"Penalize Lieberman
Even strong support from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid may not save the Homeland Security Committee chairmanship for Sen. Joseph Lieberman if he goes through with plans to address the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn.
Reid opposes trying to kick Lieberman out of the Senate Democratic caucus (which would cost him his chairmanship) because he has endorsed Republican John McCain for president. But other Democratic senators complain Lieberman would go a step too far if he addresses the Republican convention. Elected as an independent in 2006, Lieberman now designates himself an "Independent Democrat."
A footnote: Lieberman recently approached one prominent supporter of Hillary Clinton with a suggestion that he consider supporting McCain if Barack Obama is nominated." http://

Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere | 05.10.08 - 10:45 am | #
But unlucky, apparently.
I don't think the conniptions over electability count for much either. I think McCain is a very weak candidate. Remember, none of the republicans liked him much either until they became absolutely horrified at their other choices. And I think that McCain may flame out so spectacularly in debates (with either democrat) and with other senility gaffes that perhaps even a third party candidate will appear during the fall that will cause the republican to finish in 3rd place.
I live in Illinois. My brother was one of three field supervisors on Barack's successful Senate campaign. They are still on a first name basis. President Obama should shock and delight all progressives in his first term.
It is certainly true that he is not consistenly liberal on all issues. He does, however, have a belief that government can and should solve the intractable problems facing us.
Biggest risk?????? He can be a little high brow intellectual and the risk is that his administration becomes too policy wonkish. He cannot afford to surround himself with to many academics but needs to have some "get it done" kind of staffers.

The Kind of Best Friend You’d Love a Kid to Have [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
So last night I went to the Best Friends Foundation’s 20th-anniversary celebration. Since I had missed young Colin Powell and Bill Bennett singing “How Sweet It Is” in shades and leather bomber jackets in years past, I was glad to get the flashback during a brief video presentation during dinner.
Are young Colin Powell and Bill Bennett ex-bomber pilots? If not, they should be jailed for impersonating same.
I would like to have a redo a bit further back. For me, neither of these candidates represent my liberal views. Both are lukewarm Dems, both suck up to AIPAC, big oil, big pharm and the rest. The status quo is protected once again. . In case no one has noticed, we have been spoon fed our candidates once again. Below you can see what has happened since December but the same analysis would show that Edwards was locked out not to mention Dodd, Biden or Kuchinich.
This is from CENTER FOR MEDIA AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS…
http://www.cmpa.com/Studies/Elec...ws%
202_1_08.htm
“Since mid-December, when the presidential candidates turned their full attention to the Iowa caucuses, Sen. Barack Obama has led the race for good press and Sen. Hillary Clinton has lagged the farthest behind. From Dec 16 through Jan 27 five out of six on-air evaluations of Obama (84%) have been favorable, compared to a bare majority (51%) of evaluations of Mrs. Clinton.”
(NBC seems desperate for ratings)
“The gap in good press has widened since the New Hampshire primary, with Clinton dropping to 47% positive comments and Obama holding steady at 83% positive. NBC’s coverage has been the most critical of Clinton – nearly 2 to 1 negative (36% positive and to 64% negative.”
And you just have to ask:
Is it just a coincidence that the Obama demographics match perfectly with the key demographics (18-49) that these media outlets and the blogs seek for revenue $$$ ?
It was and is a perfect commercial fit.
I have one final to compose. Then I'm ready for the end

Obama is far from perfect, being human and all, but I've been excited by his candidacry.
As far as identity politics go, I think he's tried to avoid them and the Clinton camp has played them up, the more so when the campaign got in trouble.
I don't think she would be a good president, and I think we need another passing of the torch.
But I don't think she's out of it. I think they thought Wright could do Obama in, coupled with spinning words like "bitter" and "cling" and the Rezco business, the fake NAFTA story and some other stuff. I imagine there is more to come.

But a new, more conciliatory tone crept into her stump speeches, as she shied away from the more spirited attacks on Mr. Obama that characterized her recent primary battles, instead engaging him more gently on the issues while aiming her fire on Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee.

DON KING SIGNS HILLARY CLINTON TO FIGHT CONTRACT
At a press conference in New York today, fight promoter Don King announced that he had signed Senator Hillary Clinton to a three-year contract for a minimum of four headliner prize fights.
Questioned by reporters about this unprecedented signing, Mr. King declared that Senator Clinton is undoubtedly the strongest, most indomitable fighter in America today. She had been on the ropes and has come back many times. And she has that showtime spirit, like Ali, crowing often about what a remarkable fighter she is.
King claimed that Clinton has a quality shared by few other fighters, she will never give up or stop fighting. Mrs. Clinton will never even acknowledge that she is far behind on points, or even knocked out.
In scheduling fights, Mr. King notes that he will, in deference to her age, postpone contests with the likes of Laila Ali or Jacqui Frazier Lyde. He plans to find a way to have fights with the daughters of champions like Jack Dempsey or John L. Sullivan. Even with fighters as strong as Clinton, it is important to keep her from losing her bearings.

At least six people have died and 13 have been wounded in clashes in Mogadishu, the Somali capital, between opposition fighters and the army, according to witnesses.
Friday's fighting came as the UN's special envoy to Somalia said that government officials and exiled opposition leaders were set to hold talks in neighbouring Djibouti.
In Mogadishu, the clashes focused on an army base close to the presidential palace.
Mohamed Dini, a resident who said he saw the fighting from a window in his house, said: "I have seen two civilians killed in the battle and two government soldiers lying on the ground."
Dini said other Somali soldiers collected the bodies once the fighting died down.

To some lawmakers from New York, however, Mr. Fossella is and always has been the embodiment of the heavily working class district he has long represented. Representative Peter T.

“The vice president’s office took the position that they only wanted paying customers at the event,” Mr. King said. “Vito insisted on bringing friends from Staten Island. He was ready to call off the event.”
Eventually, Mr. Fossella’s friends were allowed to attend, and apparently made an impression.

I guess the biggest problem I have with Clinton is that fact that I doubt she would ge out of the war, not with Bill Clinton repeatedly telling Dems to "support" the war. The comment that "those 16 words were just a mistake" when it was so obvious that those words were not a mistake but a big, ugly conspiracy that the Clinton's earnestly still tried to push despite there being no WMD in Iraq. There is no doubt on my mind that Hillary supports this invasion for oil, because that is exactly what the war in Iraq is, particular with her vowing to fight for our "economic security" does make me understand that she would willing withdraw from this horrid war in Iraq. She is out right lying about that to the American people. Hillary isn't change, she more of the same.
And Bill told Hillary to get more aggressive against Obama but despite her attempts to ramp up attacks - Obama keep it nice. So it back fired on her. Dems are tried of and don't like Rove style mud slinging. She really messed up there.
Will Obama get out of Iraq? I don't know but I've got to believe being African American, maybe he understood slavery enough to know that what we are doing in Iraq is wrong and horrible on so many levels that he will find a way to leave Iraq. One can only pray that is what his intent is.
