For those Napsterites in the USA

I don't think Obama is going to win so easy , if at all
by all accounts he looks like he should win and win easily

The big butt is, Hillary's butt actually
if he doesn't choose her as a running mate it could open up a big hole for McCain
I wonder who else would he choose. Edwards?

Even if he does choose her.. I still have this feeling the Republicans have an ace up their sleeve or something.. that what looks like should be a romp in... will become too close to call ,and with more clever manipulation like the past elections they will somehow pull off the impossible. It's because he is such a cardboard cutout.. he is somewhat a perfect replacement for Bush and there's something about the neoconservative/military complex's agenda that reeks of unfinished business

I hate to be a pessimist because I hope Obama will win..
I just get the impression the whole system is so corrupt ,a genuine candidate that would bring about real change would never be allowed to win.

Clinton would be a massive mistake, but one he may take against my better judgement.

The main reason it would be such a mistake: the Republicans want him to choose her.

he should stay VERY well clear of her and her baggage and her husband.

I think so too.. I dislike her because she is a obviously a sell out to big money..but distancing himself from the Clinton admin legacy will give voters the sense of the 'unknown' and the Republicans will play it for everything they have got.

That's fine by me. Most of the country, when asked what they want from this election cycle, replied 'change'. Hillary isn't change any more than McCain is.

The people of the US believe, rightly [sic], that the country is headed in the wrong direction, and that isn't solved with an order of McSame w/cheese.

Ben Smith at Politico has a good story on McCain -v- Clinton:

Dept. of fake news: McCain defeats Clinton

A sharp-eyed Democrat sends in a rather surprising page from John McCain's site (screengrab here),which, in the form of a news story, offers quite a bit of detail about how McCain beat the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton.

In fact, it's from an email the McCain camp sent supporters last year.

Still, it's fun to read, if only for a reminder of how unpredictable this season has been.

the McCain campaign has now removed it from the site

John McCain is still playing catch up to Barack Obama.

As the Illinois Democrat speaks before the picturesque Victory Column in Berlin today, the Arizona Republican is doing a slightly less exciting form of German outreach. He is having a lunch meeting with small business leaders at a German restaurant in German Village, Columbus, Ohio.

The presidential race, it seems has boiled down to who has the greatest German appeal. McCain's appearance at Schmidts' restaurant, a "Sausage Haus" comes after the RNC launched several advertisements in towns named Berlin.

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.

And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the appointed year, the Child ventured forth - for the first time - to bring the light unto all the world.

He travelled fleet of foot and light of camel, with a small retinue that consisted only of his loyal disciples from the tribe of the Media. He ventured first to the land of the Hindu Kush, where the Taleban had harboured the viper of al-Qaeda in their bosom, raining terror on all the world.

And the Child spake and the tribes of Nato immediately loosed the Caveats that had previously bound them. And in the great battle that ensued the forces of the light were triumphant. For as long as the Child stood with his arms raised aloft, the enemy suffered great blows and the threat of terror was no more.

From there he went forth to Mesopotamia where he was received by the great ruler al-Maliki, and al-Maliki spake unto him and blessed his Sixteen Month Troop Withdrawal Plan even as the imperial warrior Petraeus tried to destroy it.

And lo, in Mesopotamia, a miracle occurred. Even though the Great Surge of Armour that the evil Bush had ordered had been a terrible mistake, a waste of vital military resources and doomed to end in disaster, the Child's very presence suddenly brought forth a great victory for the forces of the light.

And so now that Senator Obama's Berlin address is in the can, get ready for the backlash from the very serious corporate media. Get ready for profuse around-the-clock praise of Senator McCain and/or unfair, invented criticism of Senator Obama. Because reporting the news, however accurate, about Senator Obama's successful trip to the Middle East and Europe isn't news. It's obviously biased reporting against the McCain campaign.

That's all we've heard from the McBush Republicans this week: griping about the press coverage of Senator Obama's trip, as if such an epic event isn't newsworthy. Although I'm sure the McBush camp would've been thrilled about such wall-to-wall coverage if Reverend Wright had been spazzing out on the wing of the Obama campaign jet, ripping it to shreds Twilight Zone style -- Rezko and Ayers running around in turbans spray-painting "clinging to guns" on the side of General Petraeus' helicopter.
