You want local? What are your local issues? You got local candidates? Who is running for dog control officer in your town? You got the troops for phone banks? boots on the ground? last time out we locals produced and funded local radio spots which were far more in tune than the TV stuff being done on the CD level. Who your County Chairman is is going to be far more important than whether Hillary or Barack fronts the ticket.

Sadly, I am not lifting a finger for another Republican in Democrats clothing. My vote and efforts should not be used
to enrich corporate America and Repbulicans,only to be rewarded if
I am lucky with crumbs.

I agree.

Having a portrait of Orwell staring at me every day would be a healthy reminder.

Sorry for not reading all 140 comments first, but I recommend Adam B’s diary on dKos, “Obama, Community Organizer, Back In The Day,” on Wed Jan 23, 2008 at 12:53:52 PM PST. Good background for this post!

and just listening to Speaker Pelosi at the National Press Club criticizing Bush for making bad choices and having bad priorities, all the while ignoring the Elephant in the middle of the room, the BushCheney crime syndicate, and the consequences of taking impeachment off the table. Gr-r-r-r-r.

“I listened to Mark Shields(who I like and respect) and Bobob (who is a total ass) and I call baloney.

I didn’t know that calling someone a reagan lover was racist”

No - it was the subsequent discussion on how Bill Clinton is trying to paint Obama as the black candidate.

Katherine, the thing with racial comments, they are often suggestions, with the racial subtext just below the surface. When Bill Clinton says that Obama will win SC because it is 50% African American, he is trying to box him into a stereotype, and the subtext is, well, shouldn’t whites vote for their own? This is just one example and there are others, where Clinton deliberately brings up race and stereotypes, e.g., saying Obama put a “hit-job” on him. There is an attempt to push Obama into the role of a scary ‘black’ candidate.

And yes, the media is complicit (though it just may be that they are morons who kepe repeating what they hear)
