Nicole Price, the Maryland political director of Obama's campaign told the Washington Times that when she arrived in the state to ramp up the campaign. She found "a home-grown campaign already thriving." Republicans backing Obama had put more yard signs in Maryland than in South Carolina and they had paid for the signs "themselves." The Times also...

Clinton aide urges seating delegates
(snip)
AS of Saturday, the delegate count stood at 1,280 for Obama and 1,218 for Clinton. If the DNC were to award Michigan and Florida's 313 delegates based on the vote in their primaries, she would be ahead because she won both states.
On Saturday, Ickes reiterated the campaign's view that new "redo" votes in Florida and Michigan aren't necessary. He said many superdelegates are elected lawmakers or governors who are supposed to exercise their independent judgment to vote contrary to public opinion if they believe another candidate has a better chance of winning.
In response, the Obama campaign said Ickes' viewpoint runs counter to democratic principles.

Hillary was literally the only candidate Michigan Democrats were allowed to vote for. Florida is ... fucked up as a matter of definition. Really Michigan was split between two Republicans who have dropped out, Romney (a native Michigander who actually bothered to notice that we're fucking dying over here) and Paul (the only candidate on either side witrh the kind of grassroots activity and visibility that he had).

Pa...08Election.html
Updated February 14, 2008
Evidence of a covert campaign to undermine the presidential primaries is rife, so it's curious that the Democractic Party and even some within the G.O.P. have ignored the actual elephant in the room this year. That would be Karl Rove. After rigging two previous presidential elections, this master of deceit would have us believe that he's gone off to sit in a corner and write op-eds.
Not so. According to an article in Time Magazine, Republican party activists have been organized to throw their weight behind Barack Obama, the democratic rival of frontrunner Hillary Clinton. Early in Obama's campaign, major G.O.P. fundraisers and several recently indicted figures in Chicago flushed his coffers with cash, something the deep pockets hadn't done for any candidate in their own party. With receipts topping $100 million in 2007, the first-term Illinois senator broke the record for contributions. It was a remarkable feat, considering that most Americans had not even heard of him before 2005.
The Rezko connection has not been discussed much either. I have to find some links to verify what I've read. I didn't know that the Fitz himself is investigating Rezko. I think the trial is at the end of February.

I have no idea, Gomez, if Clinton can pull this out. But I do know the two women co-chairing her campaign in my home state, and they believe, so until I see otherwise, I will, too. In any event, we'll soon find out.
And as to the superdelegates, I doubt Clinton has a lock on seeing that unfold her way.

Here's a little more history you won't find at HuffPost or The Nation: At the time of his senate run, Obama was a relatively small-town player, a former law professor and two-term state legislator who lost a congressional race against African American incumbent bobbie Rush in 2000. Obama's first significant donor in the 1990's was Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a Chicago power broker and developer who tried to recruit him out of law school. After graduating from Harvard, Obama instead hired on with a community nonprofit agency called Project VOTE, where he spent a few months organizing inner city voter registration drives. He later joined the prestigious law firm ____,whose clients included Rezko.
Obama worked on (and later endorsed as a senator) a series of low-income housing development deals in which Rezko and his partner, Woodlawn Preservation and Investment, collected $855,000 in development fees. Later, while Rezko was busy fundraising for Obama's senate race, tenants were having their heat cut off and other maintenance issues left unaddressed. The City of Chicago eventually sued Rezko, and an F.B.I. investigation led to a felony indictment. Rezko is charged with illegally obtaining income through kickbacks and bribes. A trial is set to begin February 25th.
Link above (below?) I need to get another source for this before I believe it. My Chicago relatives say it's true (big deal!) but I think they are Republicans.

... But it is highly unlikely that Rezko gets off. He just got nailed for lying to the Judge about his alleged poverty and was promptly arrested for hiding millions of dollars overseas. And he is up against Patrick Fitzgerald. Pat Fitzgerald does not go to court unprepared and does not have a record of losing, particularly in Illinois.

And I'm rather pissed that my vote won't count because Dr. Dean and the DNC couldn't resolve their pissing contest with the MI Dem bigwigs - especially when "rules is rules" wasn't applied to IA, NH and SC, which also broke party rules.

Yup -- we were told that the Michigan (& Florida) delegates would not be seated -- period.
I was (& still am at heart) an Edwardian -- I was not allowed to vote for my preferred candidate.
Some sort of do-over for the voters of Michigan & Florida would make sense to me, but I also accept that the entire process is not & never has been "democratic".
I also think it is foolish to think that enough super delegates will throw the nomination to Senator Clinton if it is clear that the voters really want Senator Obama -- presumably the super delegates want to win in November, too!
Rezko? What's a "Rezko"?

Fuck it, I might just end up voting for Gravel.
Rezko may be a scumbag, and the courts are dealing with him. What no one has shown is what Obama allegedly did for Rezko that was out of line.
Perhaps Rezko planned to ask all the politicians he contributed to for favors down the line. As far as I can tell, Obama did him no special favors.
It has been suggested that the Obama and Edwards' campaigns removed their names from the MI ballot because they knew they couldn't win.
As hard as the Bush government has been selling the idea, the world isn't like a comic book of super heroes and super villains.

These are facts. obamavangelists have faith.
IMHO, the Dem state chairs in MI and Fl fucked up, intentionally tried to break a flawed system, and lost. They should be canned. But the voters shouldn't have to pay for the goddam intraparty squabbling. I see no other alternative now than what has been suggested, split them evenly or decalre a mulligan, pony up and have a do-over. There's no way I can see that somehow being less fair than either not including them or pretending everything was fine.
hadenough wants to stick a fork in Fitzgerald?
I understand the clintonites have "issues" with prosecutors, but seriously....
The Clinton speech is her best ever.
The MI and FL delegate decision will be Solomon-like. And one side is going to be very unhappy.
We have a very short amount of time to get serious about climate change which is what I humbly think is our most pressing issue. Either Clinton or Obama will take that seriously so in the end, while I have a preference, I vote for the nominee.
What I don't like is the zealotry and the ad hominems or feminems, as the case may be. After too many years of Republican meanness, I am sick to death of those tactics and attitudes. We need to get positive and respectful again. Here. Now.

Democracy in lieu of parties bitching about which candidate benefits is quaint.
Riffi. Good movie or bad movie?
WASHINGTON (AP) - Harold Ickes, a top adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign who voted for Democratic Party rules that stripped Michigan and Florida of their delegates, now is arguing against the very penalty he helped pass.
In a conference call Saturday, the longtime Democratic Party member contended the DNC should reconsider its tough sanctions on the two states, which held early contests in violation of party rules. He said millions of voters in Michigan and Florida would be otherwise disenfranchised - before acknowledging moments later that he had favored the sanctions.

What JeffCO said @ 9:36 pm (& I speak as one who would not vote between these two candidates -- I have serious reservations about both & am happy to vote for which ever one most other people want to be the nominee)
The opint is that MI (& I guess FL) Democrats were told that their dlegates would not be seated -- that their votes would not count -- hence the suggestions from Lord Atrios & the Great Orange Satan that Michigan Dems should vote for Mitt (which is what the monks did)

Opinion based on facts. Didn't know I had to point out every sentence from each of my posts.
Since 2003, executives and employees of Exelon, which is based in Illinois, have contributed at least $227,000 to Mr. Obama’s campaigns for the United States Senate and for president. Two top Exelon officials, Frank M. Clark, executive vice president, and John W. Rogers Jr., a director, are among his largest fund-raisers.
Another Obama donor, John W. Rowe, chairman of Exelon, is also chairman of the Nuclear Energy Institute, the nuclear power industry’s lobbying group, based in Washington. Exelon’s support for Mr. Obama far exceeds its support for any other presidential candidate.
In addition, Mr. Obama’s chief political strategist, David Axelrod, has worked as a consultant to Exelon. A spokeswoman for Exelon said Mr. Axelrod’s company had helped an Exelon subsidiary, Commonwealth Edison, with communications strategy periodically since 2002, but had no involvement in the leak controversy or other nuclear issues.

Get a fucking grip. They are both politicians. Either one will do ok, and also do things that will piss us off.
SIGH! "opint" = "point"
& what the dingo ate the baby said
According to Edward McClelland, writing for Salon.com, "Rezko, after all, built part of his fortune by exploiting the black community that Obama had served in the state Senate, and by milking government programs meant to benefit black-owned businesses." While it may be unclear why Obama would continue his relationship with Rezco after this point, it's indisputable that he did. In 2005, Obama approached Rezko for help in purchasing a $2 million Georgian-revival home in a Chicago suburb. The property deal involved two adjoining lots that the owner wanted to sell together. Rezko's wife bought the first, while Obama acquired the parcel with the mansion for $300,000 less than the asking price.
Although no laws were apparently broken in the transaction, the Rezko trail represents a serious liability for Obama should he reach the general election next fall. In the meantime, many of Obama's campaign donations have since been tied to sources named in the federal indictment. While the Chicago Sun-Times puts the figure of tainted cash at $168,000, the senator initially agreed to give half that amount to charity, but only as an "abundance of caution", a senior staffer said. Later, after NBC Nightly News grudgingly broadcast a story about the affair, the campaign announced it would donate the entire amount.
As the author says no laws were apparently broken in the Obama's real estate transaction. The allegations about Rezko "milking government contracts" reflect poorly on Obama's judgement at the very least.

Just seeking a bit of clarity. And now we have guilt by association.
Didn't we do that in "Whitewater"? Personally, I prefer clearer evidence of wrongdoing. Accepting money from people who turn out to be guilty of crimes does not make one a part to their crimes. Absent some better connection, I am unimpressed.
And unlikely to agree that Obama is ready for the fork. But then, that's just my opinion.
Bring me more facts. My plate is empty and my fork is anxious for work!
True, but late enough where his name was still on the ballot, at least at my polling place.

By inference. Obama associates himself with a sleazy person. Therefor he is evil.
By inference, you are suggesting that Hillary Clinton has never done such a thing.
I am tired of arguing with zealots. I might even vote for the Keebler elf guy now.
trifecta"
I see. You want fair and balanced. You want Hillary's rezko mentioned every time obama's rezko is mentioned. Something like that right?
I'd say the first problem is there is no FBI mole that taped Hillary having numerous meetings with Illinois own jack abramoff. I'd say the second problem is obama is deeply involved in a messy situation, a real one, and Hillary isn't.

It's actually a pretty gritty movie, and Travolta's character is not "nice" at all.
Of course, IIRC, they cut out the rape scene between him and Donna in the car when the movie went "wide."
One thing I also remember from when it came out was, it was the movie that was gonna make Karen Lynn Gorney (?) a star!

Just can’t see why we disagree

They go on and on endlessly
But no matter what I say
You ignore me anyway

I thought he handled it rather well...
There is an incident which bothered the hell out of us, and which also nicely illustrates why we never wrote our "war book." In Swofford's Jarhead there's a scene where a joshing marine dons and clears a gas mask, then pretends to be Darth Vader. For this he was sued by that other guy who did Baghdad Express, because Baghdad Express also has a scene with a Darth Vader impression aided by a gas mask.
Each of us has separate but pretty much indistinguishable experiences along these lines.
In fact, everyone does. It is apparently a near-instinctive thing for all Americans after the release of Star Wars. And Swofford got fucking sued for it.
Someone mentioned a Black Agenda Report posting upthread. I check in on them periodically (mostly it was because of the Edwards-Wynn race); they have a strongly progressive stance, and as such, they are a minority within a minority. They are particularly anti-corporatist, and compliment/critique candidates accordingly - the last non-Obama/Clinton thing I read over there was a positive piece on Kucinich, who they feel (with some justification, IMO) was, at least in part, maneuvered out of the race by the powers-that-be (e.g., MCM).
They concentrate a lot of their fire on Obama in particular, based on their current and intended (reader) market. Most of the other Af-Am blogs I read -- admittedly a small sampling of the thousands that are out there -- are extremely pro-Obama, or as Philly blogger Field Negro calls them, Obamaholics (his own wife included).
I love FN's blog -- check out the stuff on the right margin for a laugh or two -- but I sure as hell miss Gilliard, especially at moments like this. RIP, man.
Casual Conversation (Cont.)
There’s no communication left between us
But is it me or you who’s to blame?
There’s nothing I can do, yes you’re fading out of view
Don’t know if I feel joy or pain
And now it’s all been said
If you must leave then go ahead
Should feel sad
But I really believe that I’m glad
Yes I really believe that I’m glad

enjoy your Obamagasms now; collect 'em.
Someone mentioned a Black Agenda Report posting upthread. I check in on them periodically (mostly it was because of the Edwards-Wynn race); they have a strongly progressive stance, and as such, they are a minority within a minority.
The founders were with Black Commentator, before launching their own site. They have been all over the CBC for years, for example. I think Dixon had an exchange with Obama when he was still with BC, about the DLC.
Obama says the very definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result.

So this thief breaks into a house and is loading up with all of the goods he can carry when he hears a small voice, "Jesus is watching you." He goes, "What? Who's that?" He doesn't hear an answer so he continues stealing when he hears the voice again,"Jesus is watching you." He finds the source this time and it is a large parrot. He confronts the parrot and says, "What are you talking about? Jesus is watching you? That's stupid! What's your name anyway?" The parrot replies, "Herbert." The thief says, "That's a stupid name. Who named you that?" The parrot answered, "The same guy who named the Pit Bull Jesus."

. . . and again the problem with war is not only the immediate but the echoes that last far longer. I read this. I am not sure what I even think about it. There is so much that is amazing that I find it just staggering.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — Several dozen people protested outside a theater today where a 104-year-old singer who once performed for Adolf Hitler took the stage in the Netherlands for the first time in four decades.
Johannes Heesters was never accused of being a propagandist or anything other than an actor who was willing to perform for the Nazis, and the Allies allowed him to continue his career after the war. But in his native country he is viewed by some as irredeemable.
"He kept singing for the Nazi regime, for the Wehrmacht, and he earned millions," said Piet Schouten, representative of a committee formed to protest Heesters' performance at De Flint theater in Amersfoort.
"Those are facts and we have a problem with that on behalf of all the victims" he told national broadcaster NOS.
In 1964, Heesters was booed off the stage in Amsterdam when he tried to appear as Nazi-hating Captain von Trapp in "The Sound of Music."
No disturbances were reported during today's concert in Amersfoort, where Heesters was born in 1903.
Heesters, who lives in Germany, has been a popular figure in German-language cabaret since the 1930s. Today, he performed "The Merry Widow," the German song that made him famous, and "There by the Windmill," a Dutch classic, among others. At times he asked his wife, on stage with him, to remind him of lines but his voice was steady.

As a result of a “technical glitch,” in 2006, the FBI received access to “e-mail messages from an entire computer network — perhaps hundreds of accounts or more — instead of simply the lone e-mail address that was approved by a secret intelligence court as part of a national security investigation.” The episode is an example of a “regular if little-noticed occurrence,” but has received “no discussion” in the congressional debate over expanding the government’s wiretapping powers.

Vanity Fair on Obama's early years:
http://www.vanityfair.com/politi.../03/
obama200803
His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was the white daughter of a Kansas furniture and insurance salesman who had wanted a son, and who moved to Hawaii on the eve of statehood in search of a new lease on life. She loved the speeches of Martin Luther King Jr. and the music of Mahalia Jackson, and thought Harry Belafonte was, as her son remembers, “the best-looking man on the planet.” At 18, she met and married Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a former Kenyan goatherd and an economist-in-training who had recently become the first African student in the history of the University of Hawaii—this in 1960, a time when inter-racial marriage was still illegal in almost half the mainland states. The couple divorced in 1963, when their son was just 2, and Barack met his father (who ultimately claimed paternity of a total of eight children by four women before dying in a car crash at age 52, in 1983) precisely once more in his life—for a month, at Christmas, in Honolulu, when he was 10.
