That would be a really nice gesture.

” … we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender …”- Winston Churchill

Obama people have come out in force on every blog I’ve visited. There’s the Mission Accomplished Memo. Then there’s the claim that any metric other than his own metric is illegitimate and won’t be recognized by his supporters*. Now the floated attempt to buy Hillary off.

That’s a lot of work for someone who has sown up the nomination.

And at last some sanity from the DNC, apparently Howard Dean would not commit to that 2025 number the other night on MSNBC, via mydd:

Keith Olbermann: Isn’t it still 2,025 according to all the rules?

Howard Dean: There’s going to be a Rules Committee Meeting on the 31st of May where we’re going to take up the issue of Florida and Michigan and how to deal with them. […]

So, there’s going to be some kind of a compromise is what I would predict. I can’t tell you what’s in it but right now the number is 2,025. On May 31st, we’ll find out what the Rules Committee does and how they plan to work out seating a delegation from Michigan and Florida.

I guess Obama can declare victory at 2025, but that’s going to get to be kind of embarrassing if that’s not the right number 11 days later.

Despite all this stuff coming from the Obama camp, I still don’t know where those 50 or more SDs are.

* Wow, even Obama’s Unity Pony is on back order. I guess things are tough all over.

And that, my friends, is what a good round of lekkage by the creative class will do.

Any more doctored videos yet?

if Clinton is willing to sell (I’m betting she’s not), he should certainly have enough money. You don’t vote for tort reform for nothing.

Cultural Shift: Out with Bubbas, up with Creatives: There should be a major cultural shift in the party, where the southern Dems and Liebercrat elite will be largely replaced by rising creative class types. Obama has all the markers of a creative class background, from his community organizing, to his Unitarianism, to being an academic, to living in Hyde Park to shopping at Whole Foods and drinking PBR. These will be the type of people running the Democratic Party now, and it will be a big cultural shift from the white working class focus of earlier decades.

Screw that….Did you know that ““Exit polls taken in 30 contests so far showed Obama carrying the white vote in only seven, including his home state of Illinois.”????

More in my blog post on this political medical emergecy re: Obama….at http://insightanalytical.wordpress.com/

I can’t believe our criteria for choosing a president is that they shop at Whole Foods, and live in Hyde Park(and remember the Clintons live in Harlem!). And Unitarianism? Wasn’t it a couple of years ago we agreed with the Constitution that their should be no religious litmus test.

Can I go into deep freeze? Someone wake me on Nov 5, so I won’t completely lose the next 6 months of my life, sitting in a blubbery mass, weeping for the future of my country.

Bill Clinton for First Dude!!!

it’s hard to believe that working class people would think Obama and his followers are elitists who not only don’t care about them, but actively disdain them. /sarcasm

We’re totally fucked in November if he’s the nominee. They won’t have to paint the Obama movement as elitist, they will happily proclaim it from every rooftop themselves. The GOP is going to go through them like a machete through paper, really, really thin paper.

If we want to stop McCain, we’re going to have to have a new plan. So how crazy is Cynthia McKinney? Would you say she’s batshit insane or just eccentric?

These will be the type of people running the Democratic Party now, and it will be a big cultural shift from the white working class focus of earlier decades. Given the demographics of the blogosphere, in all likelihood, this is a socioeconomic and cultural demographic into which you fit. Culturally, the Democratic Party will feel pretty normal to netroots types. It will consistently send out cultural signals designed to appeal primarily to the creative class instead of rich donors and the white working class.

Who in the name of the Seven Bald Steers does this guy think he is, writing off the working class white voter, writing off the over-40 vote, writing off the guy who drinks Bud Lite and watches da Bears in between busting his hump trying to make ends meet in a post-GWBII world?

Oh, and “creative class” — eat my shorts.

He doesn’t say it, but he’s writing off African Americans, too. At least the working class. Along with latin@s and asians. They don’t shop at Whole Foods or fit in with the netroots culturally either. And, of course, by netroots, I mostly mean white boy bloggers.

I would pay good money to see Chris Bowers tell the Teamsters that the Democrats won’t be placating them anymore. Good money.

… on “creative class,” and that lambert invented this vicious term as a polemic as part of his Clintonian Mind Control scheme….

And what they don’t realize is that the “creative class” is entirely self-identified.

It’s like the whole fucking world is going to pay the bills by creating marketing collateral for the Obama campaign.

Brazile and Dean refuse to let Edwards vote on the issue of how to get out of the paper bag….so the debate on how to get out has been raging on. Dean, Brazile, Pelosi, Kennedy, and Richardson want to punch through the bottom, (unbeknownst to any in the bag…the bottom is over a trash compactor). Bud Cramer, Gene Taylor, Tim Holden , Earl Pomeroy , and Adam Shiff all want to go out through the opening.
Although no one knows how Edwards will vote, he keeps looking at the opening.
Brazile is not too pleased as she notices Edwards glancing at the opening: “I told you,” Brazile shouts at Edwards while flailing her hands around and pointing at him. “If we need you we’ll call you, but we don’t need you now….you need to shape up boy, you are what is wrong with the democratic party!” Pacing Brazile looks at him and kicks him in the back, then walks back to her desk, shuffles paper.
Dean is on the phone preening to the media about how great they are doing in the bag and that they will come out to give interviews as soon as they have decided how to leave.
After the perfunctorial kissing of Brazile’s ass at high noon, Kennedy and Richardson start talking about wind power.
“When we get our boy in the House, he is going to push my wind bill through, fuck the seagulls!” Richardson nods, and looks around the paper bag, Pelosi had found post it notes and was writing down committee tasks and post it-ing them around the inside of the bag.
Richardson looks at Kennedy…”I don’t mind the wind power, but wind has been around for so long, I think it’s time we tried something we haven’t tried for energy, like dirt or mud” Kennedy looks at him and nods, and twists his tie off.
Dean begins pounding his fists on the table and yelling at the other members. “damn-it, there’s only one way to vote, I’m passing out the ballots that Obama used in NC, they are already filled out. Just put them in the bag and Pelosi will count them.”
Cramer, Taylor, Holden, Pomeroy, and Shiff all had their concealed weapons on them, step forward, Dean pushes his chair back, Pelosi steps back, and Richardson moves to the wall, Brazile passes out the ballots each with obama circled in.
Dean: “Ok it’s real simple, just put the ballots in the bag. We count them and if they all are for Obama we go out through the bottom of the bag”
CTHP and S look at Dean, and each sign in the ballot -opening- ripping OB’s name off the ballot, they put them into the bag.
Dean, Brazile, Kennedy all begin to scream at CTHP and S, they just stare back at them unflustered.
Edwards who doesn’t believe in guns sits in the corner. Pelosi hands him some chicken soup. He sips, they’ve been in the bag for a few days, and it’s getting hot and musky. He coughs. No one notices.
The bag moves as they debate, inching closer to the tipping point off the edge, CTHP and S are aware of it, and have mentioned it but DBPK and R don’t acknowledge any of their solutions, including the one that lets each leave the way they want.
The vibration of the bag makes CTHP and S glance to the opening, they will all bolt for it and are standing closest to the top than the others. They know it will tilt…. the only question is …should they pull Edwards out with them.
