Losses at the Polls a Bitter Pill for Gays
Predicting Pennsylvania!
Let's continue the habit of prediction folly! Tomorrow, Pennsylvania Democrats cast their votes (in record numbers, I suspect) to determine who will earn the majority of their 188 delegates.
Hillary Clinton is counting on a wide-margin, 8-11% spread in order to give her campaign hope of winning the popular vote tally and shortening Barack Obama's lead among awarded delegates.
The polling provides little evidence of what will really happen. Some polls show an Obama surge, others show Clinton holding a steady 5-8%. Then you have the twin issues of undecided voters, who by demographic profile should swing to Clinton; and the other issue of under-polled new (and younger) voters who by demographic profile should swing to Obama.
PD toolbar!
In national polls, Obama has opened up a nearly 20-point lead. He needs a strong finish in Pennsylvania and then a quick victory in North Carolina to finish off Hillary Clinton. To date, whenever he's been close to wrapping up the nomination he fumbles and fails to close the deal. The Keystone contest could clinch it for him or prolong the campaign for another six weeks.
As with most of this campaign 2008, winning hasn't always been about the numbers directly. It's more often about defying expectations; doing better or worse than expected.
My guess...err, my prediction, is that Obama will do better than expected. While in states, like Pennsylvania, Democrats can expect Obama to under-perform polling trends, in tomorrow's contest, I think the polling will prove to have been an unreliable read of who was going to participate.
In more specific terms, I think Hillary Clinton will win the Keystone state but only by a margin of 5% or less making her win somewhat more hollow than it would have been otherwise.

Despite the falsity of Obama's remarks, Clinton's attacks on him are equally dubious, especially considering that she and her husband have made similar comments over the past decade. Furthermore, Clinton criticizing Obama for being an elitist is bizarre. After all, Hillary has been involved in national politics for much longer than Obama, and she is much wealthier. Finally, she is slamming him for elitism even knowing her entire rationale has been that she has more experience in Washington. Her kamikaze tactics can only hurt both of them and ultimately and unfortunately help John McCain. And, the last time she took a shot Vince Foster was found dead on a bench.

Kennedy: Obama inspires people, works tirelessly
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has heard the comparisons between Barack Obama and his brothers. He does not disagree with those who say the senator from Illinois has the same ability to inspire people that President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy possessed.
"I see Barack having a similar kind of appeal," the senior Democratic senator from Massachusetts said. "He is challenging young and old alike to be a part of the solution to the problems."
Kennedy was in Harrisburg to deliver a brief motivational speech to Obama campaign volunteers as the race for the state's presidential primary entered the stretch run.

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore
Friends,
I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.
So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?
I haven't spoken publicly 'til now as to who I would vote for, primarily for two reasons: 1) Who cares?; and 2) I (and most people I know) don't give a rat's ass whose name is on the ballot in November, as long as there's a picture of JFK and FDR riding a donkey at the top of the ballot, and the word "Democratic" next to the candidate's name.
Seriously, I know so many people who don't care if the name under the Big "D" is Dancer, Prancer, Clinton or Blitzen. It can be Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Barry Obama or the Dalai Lama.
Well, that sounded good last year, but over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan. But, according to Senator Clinton, Obama's pastor does -- AND the "church bulletin" once included a Los Angeles Times op-ed from some guy with Hamas! No, not the church bulletin!
This sleazy attempt to smear Obama was brilliantly explained the following night by Stephen Colbert. He pointed out that if Obama is supported by Ted Kennedy, who is Catholic, and the Catholic Church is led by a Pope who was in the Hitler Youth, that can mean only one thing: OBAMA LOVES HITLER!
Yes, Senator Clinton, that's how you sounded. Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity. How sad that I would ever have to write those words about you. You have devoted your life to good causes and good deeds. And now to throw it all away for an office you can't win unless you smear the black man so much that the superdelegates cry "Uncle (Tom)" and give it all to you.
But that can't happen. You cast your die when you voted to start this bloody war. When you did that you were like Moses who lost it for a moment and, because of that, was prohibited from entering the Promised Land.
How sad for a country that wanted to see the first woman elected to the White House. That day will come -- but it won't be you. We'll have to wait for the current Democratic governor of Kansas to run in 2016 (you read it here first!).
There are those who say Obama isn't ready, or he's voted wrong on this or that. But that's looking at the trees and not the forest. What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change. My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate.
That is not to take anything away from this exceptional man. But what's going on is bigger than him at this point, and that's a good thing for the country. Because, when he wins in November, that Obama Movement is going to have to stay alert and active. Corporate America is not going to give up their hold on our government just because we say so. President Obama is going to need a nation of millions to stand behind him.
I know some of you will say, 'Mike, what have the Democrats done to deserve our vote?' That's a damn good question. In November of '06, the country loudly sent a message that we wanted the war to end. Yet the Democrats have done nothing. So why should we be so eager to line up happily behind them?
I'll tell you why. Because I can't stand one more friggin' minute of this administration and the permanent, irreversible damage it has done to our people and to this world. I'm almost at the point where I don't care if the Democrats don't have a backbone or a kneebone or a thought in their dizzy little heads. Just as long as their name ain't "Bush" and the word "Republican" is not beside theirs on the ballot, then that's good enough for me.
I, like the majority of Americans, have been pummeled senseless for 8 long years. That's why I will join millions of citizens and stagger into the voting booth come November, like a boxer in the 12th round, all bloodied and bruised with one eye swollen shut, looking for the only thing that matters -- that big "D" on the ballot.
Don't get me wrong. I lost my rose-colored glasses a long time ago.
It's foolish to see the Democrats as anything but a nicer version of a party that exists to do the bidding of the corporate elite in this country. Any endorsement of a Democrat must be done with this acknowledgement and a hope that one day we will have a party that'll represent the people first, and laws that allow that party an equal voice.
Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"
But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.
That's why the crowds who come to see him are so large. That's why he'll take us down a more decent path. That's why I would vote for him if Michigan were allowed to have an election.
But the question I keep hearing is... 'can he win? Can he win in November?' In the distance we hear the siren of the death train called the Straight Talk Express. We know it's possible to hear the words "President McCain" on January 20th. We know there are still many Americans who will never vote for a black man. Hillary knows it, too. She's counting on it.
Pennsylvania, the state that gave birth to this great country, has a chance to set things right. It has not had a moment to shine like this since 1787 when our Constitution was written there. In that Constitution, they wrote that a black man or woman was only "three fifths" human. On Tuesday, the good people of Pennsylvania have a chance for redemption.
Yours,
Michael Moore

Obama is no JFK, period. Ted Kennedy is probably hoping Obama will pick one of his son's for VP.
But he is just one of Obama's handlers. You have Carter and Zbigniew Brzezinski. You have Nancy and Howard. But I think if Obama wins it will be Islam that wins.
My hope is that the media and those Super Delegates get what they have earned. That is not said in a nice way either.
Anyone else that votes for him without knowing the facts, ..... Que sera sera

I thought the campaign could not get stranger. Those of you who post on AOL will remember the large number of you who condemned Obama because his minister, not him, praised Louis Farrakhan and Farrakhan supposedly endorsed Obama.
Some wit has now posted a long speech by Ed Rendell, her PA campaign head, gave a long speech in Philadelphia praising Rev. Farrakhan in his presence for his many virtues and his good work, and his struggles against racism. Go to dailykos and look for the link and watch it for yourselves.
Is she now going to denounce and reject Ed Rendell? Obama has never been recorded himself praising the controversial Rev. F. Of course not. It is only black folk who can be tarred by a relationship, no matter how impersonal, indirect and tenuous, between Rev. Farrakhan and themselves. And this speech was last year, and was not simply a sentence but several minutes of words of equally praise tone, so there is no way HRC could not have known about it.

At last Tuesday's Democratic debate, Sen. Hillary Clinton drew out her objections to Sen. Barack Obama's relationship with his former pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright, saying that what troubled her was not just Wright's incendiary language, but his past praise for Louis Farrakhan, the controversial head of the Nation of Islam.
"It is clear that, as leaders, we have a choice who we associate with and who we apparently give some kind of seal of approval to," said Clinton. "And I think that it wasn't only the specific remarks but some of the relationships with Reverend Farrakhan, with giving the church bulletin over to the leader of Hamas, to put a message in."
But if an association to Farrakhan troubles Clinton, she may need to focus her attention and criticisms on one of her most prominent Pennsylvania supporters.
In April 1997, Ed Rendell -- then the mayor of Philadelphia and currently the governor of Pennsylvania and a major Clinton surrogate -- delivered a passion-filled speech lauding the work of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.
"I would like to thank the Nation of Islam here in Philadelphia," Rendell said to the crowd, as Farrakhan looked on approvingly. "To thank you for what you stand for and what you stand for all the good it does to so many people in Philadelphia. And if there is anybody out here... who doesn't know, this is a faith that has as its principles, the family. This is a faith that doesn't just talk about family values, it lives family values. This is a faith where men respect their women and children and they manifest that faith by staying in the home with them. This is a faith that doesn't just talk about being against drugs but is out there every single day and night fighting against drugs. This is a faith that just doesn't talk about the value of education, it imbues in their children and schools that education is the way to opportunity."

So what, the delegates that endorsed Obama are mostly bigots-and liberals and Obama doesn't have dinner with them neither. Randell is his own man, he just endorsed Hillary and not have her over for sunday sermons. A pastor is an important spiritual giver, I don't see Randell giving that to Hillary. She doesn't need to disnonce him. If that is the case- than Obama should be spanked for going to the 10 million march hosted by the National Islamic leader- something that Hillary and Bill avoided at all cost. Get real- as Forest Gump- stupid is stupid

When Senator Clinton voted with President Bush to authorize the war in Iraq, she made a tragically bad decision that diverted our military from the terrorists who attacked us, and allowed Osama bin Laden to escape and regenerate his terrorist network. It's ironic that she would borrow the President's tactics in her own campaign and invoke bin Laden to score political points. We already have a President who plays the politics of fear, and we don't need another.

As much money as this man have spend in Penn- he should win- if he doesn't win- he won't win the election. I am from Florida- and trust me, he will never win this state. As for Michigan- Michael Moore who basically took up alot of this blog pleading for us to reconsider Obama- is now reading some cruical information that reveals as to why we won't vote for Obama, I hope it helps him understand why we have decided not too, and let him understand that Monica Lewskini is nothing compared to the ties and the accusations that are being held back by the Republicans to hurt Obama. It is important that we win- but it is also important who can take the punch. So far- the whinning of Obama, the shooing off his shoulder the dust, and the finger does not help him keep the Hillary voters in line with him or even ABC. It is not good to keep Media people as enemies, look what happen to Hillary the last 15 months? She has learned and she is strong because she talks on Fox, Abc and even tonight Msnbc. She has courage and that is what we look for in a leader. Amen

Let's be realistic! -- Hillary won 14 states to Obama's 30 -- He is ahead of her in number of delegates -- He is ahead of her in number of popular votes -- He leads her in fundraising, in spite of her loan of $5 millions -- She is flat broke. -- She is more than 9 millions in debt -- Her vendors refuse to fill her orders knowing she cannot pay them -- Her campaign runs amok with arguments, firings, demotions, betrayals from lack of leadership -- More people are jumping off her ship than did on the Titanic and the Lusitania -- Five members of Bill's cabinet endorsed Obama instead of Hillary -- She claims to be an expert in healthcare, when the Healthcare Reform Initiave which she was in charge of was one of her greatest failures -- The main focus of her campaign is running negative rumors about him, so she will not deal with the real issues -- She claims Obama has no experience, then how in the hell did he get ahead of her? -- Why place your vote on a loser?

If she wins this area by less than 5% points, she would not and will not get the nomination as the areas to the west of this line are actually losing population and influence and many of the historic Democrats there will find it difficult to vote for a Liberal and a woman, especially running against a war hero like John McCain. They are Reagan Democrats and many will desert the party, even if it's not in their own best interests.

Hillary is clearly the candidate who can change America back to its former greatness
established in the 90's and go beyond. We don't need to change what worked for America but, we need to get back to it and push for the change needed to address today’s global economy market economics. Like Hillary's green technologies for example. Go PA, show the rest of "US" the way. Deliver her on to us with a landside. Let's roll PA for Hillary!!! Landslide/landslide/landslide!!!

Dear Pennsylvanians:
You are the only our last hope to send Obama home..
There are more than four million newly registered voters in Penn. including all eligible African-Americans, and blacks are not voting for the other candidate because she is white....Please vote for Hillary!! God Bless You! !
