TARGET: OBAMA

Nice that Barack Obama gets a free pass from all the media on the substantive elements of his proposals. The only one I've seen to call him out on his health care idea is Paul Krugman of the NYTimes.

Today's Times has a little exploration on a legislative item for which Barack takes some major league credit. It turns out that the self-congratulations are unearned.

Too bad Edwards pulled the plug on his campaign before getting a chance on super duper whoop de doo Tuesday. I suspect that his campaign coffers were drained to the point where he would have been unable to mount any significant advertising effort.

The poor liberals are confused. My friend, NY LIB, doesn't know whom to vote for (just for the record, he voted for Nader in '00, because he claimed Bush and Gore were "Tweedledee and Tweedledum", both were big time pols in the pockets of big business. With his vote, and others who thought like him, he ensured the election of "Tweedledumbest"!). So NY LIB believes Obama lies too much and isn't progressive enough, and Hillary is "Republican Lite" (Hey, the left really loves that term. If you are not in total agreement with their "progressive" agenda- another term I absolutely loathe- or if you are capable of compromising, then you are "Republican Lite". don't deal with the issue, just denounce those who disagree as being in the enemy camp. Great Stalinist tactic!


What's a liberal to do? (Uh oh! Ralph is considering running again! HELP!)
