Dave, you call this hitting back, or stepping it up a gear?<br /> This was more tepid brush off than anything else. The media tried to make it into a big deal but the reality is that surrogates struck harder than Obama. And if Obama is now running his campaign with an eye toward the GE then he should be stridently blasting Bush, then tying that failure so tight around McBush he can’t breath.<br /> And really - sending out Kerry to make a response? That may be the worst tactical move possible.</p> I agree with Ann. Dave, you call this hitting back, or stepping it up a gear?

Spoiled grapes, sore . . . and all that.

Sen Obama was not a Constitutional Law Professor. He was a lecturer who taught Con Law. If you teach in a University you will understand the big difference.</p> Just wanted to correct one point.

They own two of the three horses left in the race. Only Hillary stands in the way of a guaranteed win. The media will be happy with McCain, but my guess is that they really want Obama. Sounds strange but I believe Obama, who is not a Democrat, but plays one in this contest, is the one they can depend on to destroy the Democratic party and to pander to his corporate backers and will gladly thow any and all progressive interests under the bus. Just like Bush was able to throw the true conservative interests of his followers under the bus, (hence a deficit that balooned as far as the mind can imagine), Obama will be able to do that with liberal interests. The left is bamboozled and will not be able to muster the strength to oppose Obama because they will be too busy rationalizing why they supported this fool. Obama will be able to call on the poor and middle classes to sacrifice to save the country (as we will be in dire economic straits). This sacrifice will only extend to the Democratic base. The monied will always escape the sacrifice. He can keep us schmucks in line, for the most part…they think.. Something McCain will not be able to do. That is why I will vote for McCain over Obama if Hillary has the nomination stolen. Better to deal with the devil we know from a Democratic Party that is still intact.</p> I think the corporate media and the monied interests have nearly won.
