Think again and follow the leader withthe plan for America!

Progressive Candidate John McCain comes through for America with his 3R economic plan. In the aura of Theodore Roosevelt, McCain

The truth is that two incredably powerful factions are fighting for control of the Democratic Party and by defination control of the most powerful position in history, the presidency. The two candidates are merely window dressing, eye candy, for our hopes and dreams.

We have heard what the two candidates say they want for the nation. What, not who, are we really going to be electing?

The above article doesn’t reveal how the Obama organization is actually accomplishing this, but instead speculates what the challenges are and how they might be overcome.

How the Obama organization actually does merge its operations with the Democratic party at all levels will be a fascinating read I look forward to. A small taste of this was provided one of the major news weeklies which profiled key members of the Obama brain trust).

Merging the candidates staff with the party apparatus at the national level (among “grownups”) is one thing. Far greater challenges may occur at the state and local level – where Obama ground troops (who established creds in the primaries/caucuses) must share authority and responsibility with the local organization (who knows where all the local bodies are buried).

This is tricky stuff – often involving a clash between 2 cultures who also may have different sets of political priorites. (Although generally anti-establishment, I concur with Mike Dukakis’ concern that Barack will need local folks that people trust knocking on doors on behalf of Obama in rural and blue collar places where people don’t know him very well(and tend not to trust him).

So far, the Obama people have demonstrated sound judgment, political wisdom and terrific organizational skills. Best they recognize the challenge earlier not later so that they can work with local organizations to agree on how they will help one another achieve common goals.

Clinton’s ship has sailed by every account, mathematical and abstract. It’s that simple.

As it regards the article, I think everyone is rightly concerned about the outcome of Obama’s new, history-making territory like this. Sure, some are scared that Obama will become the politician he decries, and others that he will morph into a demagogue.

Equally as many are frightened that he is indeed a man of his word, of common sense, of feeling for others, and a man of the world. The bigots, the ignorant, the greedy, and the destructive need to be afraid, because the people are speaking ever more loudly that they’re willing to take the chance on him.

As Jesse Jackson Jr. said to Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, support Obama or “You might find some young primary challenger placing you in a difficult position”

Meet the new Obama; same as the old Tom DeLay.

Barack will need great resources to counter the republicans, the media and some DLC as the election process continues. Barack needs for his campaign-related resources to go through his campaign. it’s really that simple. This looks a lot like Barack is smart and in control of his campaign. This article presents a matter-of-fact tactical issue as if there is something to fear.

the ‘unsettled hands’ are likely the people who told Gore and Kerry to quit. If Obama is keeping destructive forces from being affiliated with his campaign, so be it!
