Obama '08?

Soz- I usually never resist just for the hell of it. I don't play those kinds of games. If I think that he is good (IMO), I will certainly let you all know.

Bullshit! You resisted Frank's romantic advances even knowing the reputation of how salty old sailor's behave in bed.

For shame! You promised that you would never tell!

I'm still trying to figure out why half of the people voting in this country actually voted to retain George Bush in office. He is a disaster...and it is inconceivable that half the people voting were not able to recognize that.

Depressing rather than inconceivable, I think, Frank.

A fundamental can be found in the information linked here...

Verification of those results is evidenced daily right here on A2K in the sources for opinion almost every rightwing American poster draws upon (seen in their pastes, links and talking point cliches).

Another, I suspect, is related to the thesis in John Dean's new book (which you and I spoke of yesterday) regarding the propensity of some significant percentage of any human population to prefer rule or social organization of an authoritarian nature.

Interesting that an agrument can be made that the folks who most rail against governmental intrusion in individual lives are suspected to be motivated by a need to be herded. If it is so...it would make lots of their conduct make much, much more sense.

Sen. Obama to headline Iowa party event

Sen. Barack Obama, whose name has come up in speculation about the 2008 presidential race, will be the headline speaker at the Iowa Democratic Party's highest profile event this year in a state that traditionally holds the first delegate-selection caucuses.

Obama will be the featured speaker at Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin (news, bio, voting record)'s annual steak fry in September, an event which annually draws thousands of activists.

"I think his standing has risen rapidly," Harkin said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press.

The Illinois senator dismissed suggestions that the Iowa speech was tied to presidential ambitions.

"This is simply me accepting an invitation from Senator Harkin and hopefully an opportunity to assist other congressional candidates," Obama told reporters.

Obama said Harkin had been very persuasive and added, "basically my rule has been if I can help in the '06 cycle, then I'm going to do it. And the only reason not to do it has been sort of the symbolism of Iowa which probably was not a good reason for us not to help out."

He's slick. Watch and learn.

Many Dems are beginning to despise Obama. Read the liberal blogs. One of his 'constituents' describes him as "pathetic". I agree.
