MSNBC and Air America have the same target audience.

Too bad Obama doesn't have an interview with someone on the Right....someone who is smart enough to ask him about that comment.....precisely to WHOM was he referring? He couldn't tell them, because no one has heard of specific things, or 'tricks' the Clintons learned anything from.....It was the pair of them that "taught the class in dirty tricks...." MSNBC must be targeting the audience who watches soaps all day, that don't/won't work, and can't/won't talk about politics seriously because they don't know what they are talking about. Maddow said that Obama is touting a message of unity and is trying to move the country away from the "dirty political tricks" that the Clintons "learned from their opponents."

"Maddow said that Obama is touting a message of unity and is trying to move the country away from the "dirty political tricks" that the Clintons "learned from their opponents."" This is such a naive statement----people who pull tricks such as the Clintons have pulled on Obama could write the book on political tricks. mj

Here is one blogger's view on Obama's message of unity and hope: .......... in 2008 we can still strive for The Unifying Hope of Hopefulness via one Barack Obama: Obama's whole campaign is based on some of the most noble and inspiring sentiments in political life: hope, togetherness, bipartisanship. As he proclaimed last February at a Democratic National Committee meeting: "There are those who don't believe in talking about hope. They say, 'Well, we want specifics, we want details, and we want white papers, and we want plans.' We've had a lot of plans, Democrats. What we've had is a shortage of hope. And over the next year, over the next two years, that will be my call to you." He's stayed true to that pledge. Not only does he talk about hope - a lot - he talks about the importance of talking about hope. He talks about how he hopes to talk more about talking about the importance of talking about hope. Hopefully. He touts unity the same way. If we all buy into his "message of hope," he explains, then everybody - blacks and whites, men and women, Republicans and Democrats, lions and gnus, bears and park rangers, Superman and Lex Luthor - will be united! But united toward what end, exactly? Or does it all boil down to being united about being hopeful and hopeful about being united? Will we ever understand the full, rich, meaty complexity of Obama's hopeful message? We can always hope. villainouscompany.com
