Very enlightening.

Not surprised that Kerry lost.

Obama certainly offers some freshness amongst all of this infighting amongst Democrats.

If he can survive this , he just may be the next President.

One of the encouraging things about Obama is that he is a family man with young children.

He has demonstrated his ability to change---i.e. giving up the drugs as a youth and moving on with his life.( As people age, they often become more conservative as they take on responsibility for their children, become property owners with a vested interest in society. )

Presently, he is liberal in his basic philosophy. If he should become President, I predict that he will find himself faced with a further reality requiring change------that his liberal viewpoints must be ameliorated or changed and that he will move more to the the center in America.

Here I am sidetracked again------was looking at Intel, Hewlett, Red Hat, TXN and Mamma----my favorites over the years.

I only tell the truth and you know you. You on the other hand are pretending to support Obama. As a rightwing zealot, you hope the GOP can run against a woman or a black because you guys know how to run sleazy racist ads to lynch them and berate them. So you lie, praising Obama, and probably Hillary too. same as the GOP talking heads on TV are doing nowadays. But you slam Kerry because you know the GOP can't beat him again and if he gets in he would be a great president.

You lied going into 2004 about John Kerry's war record, dishonestly fabricating supposed "scandals" about it. But that's all been proven a pile of crap. Nixon never found any dirt on Kerry. Neither did the smearvets. They just made it up. Kerry's war record is actually pristine.

McCain has publicly denounced the smearvets so they will not be a factor in 2008 at all. In fact they never were a group of vets, just a few frontmen backed by a Bush-Rove dirty tricks PR team and lots of money from far rightwing Tom delay allies in Texas. Bush, delay and Rove of course were all draft-dodgers.
