ER, not only as lbwalker pointed out, has Obama consistently tried to enlist Republicans, but he's actually STATED he would put Republicans on his cabinet: ALL of it in foreign policy positions - Lugar, Hagel, etc.
I should note that Lugar has never ever come out against Iraq, and in fact when he was called into question on it, he was clear about that.
So, how does that make Obama somehow any better than John McCain? If we're going to elect Republicans why not just do it?

@RBL
sorry, my point was that Obama by saying he'll put Republicans on his cabinent in positions of defense and foreign policy has de facto admitted his own lack of experience, and de facto negated all his supposed anti-Iraq sentiments (which I admit I never bought into anyway).

Latin is dead language; you should cleave to it well, your brain being in a similar state. Try an up and coming language, like Spanish. Besa me culo works for me. It's difficult to condescend when you start at curb level. The terms you cite as being so arcane and lofty were commonly learned in grade school when I was growing up. Perhaps in your tepid crowd ad hoc, ergo propter hoc might pass as clever. In our family, that's as clever as passing gas. As I said before, kind friends, stay upwind of Shawn the Pawn. If the road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom, you haven't even found the onramp, bucko. Now, more liquids. The rope is calling. And your heroine took another drubbing today, as she will Tuesday. Stock up on lubricants. You'll need them soon. Do some yogic stretching. you'll need to grab your ankles for a good long while. Smoke if ya gottem. love tommy

Also: since it's been established that Democrats campaigning nationally to the left on social issues (anti-religion, pro-homosexuality, abortion rights, etc) is political suicide - Reagan 2, George Herbert Walker Bush 1 and the 1994 takeover of the Republican congress should have taught you that, why would you want EITHER candidate to do it. The intent is to win, not to grandstand to a small segment of the voting public. (I maintain that divisive social matters are best fought locally but that's another matter for another time).
Similarly, Republicans have always fared better than Dems in matters of defense and security, so it's very surprising that Obama chose to make that his campaign cornerstone.
As for the REpublicans, it's what they perceive as their strenght. They're going to make it an issue and there's no stopping it. Regardless of what you think the Dem candidate should be doing.
The best thing Obama could have done instead of getting into a lose-lose pissing contest with HRC, was to have engaged in matters of the economy.

@doc
Yep, I live in Chicago. I just read that Oberweis has spent nine million dollars of his own money in six elections (I thought it was only four). He's the Republican nominee in November, too.
Foster is now a superdelegate. An Obama superdelegate.

Wow!
Just when you think the Obamateur's have truly reached rock-botton, along comes "Tom Payne" with his shovel and proceeds to dig.
It's enough to make you laugh your tail off at Obamateur's inevitable landslide defeat, leaving him to ingest the gas he produly exhumes with his classy family and as Oprah and the Obamteur limousine off to Lakeshore Drive.

@ ShawnWM
I agree with you here:
The best thing Obama could have done instead of getting into a lose-lose pissing contest with HRC, was to have engaged in matters of the economy.
And I don't think Obama is a savior, and I don't endorse his willingness to include GOP in his advisers. But I still can't get my head around the fact that Clinton is willing to put all of the traditional Democratic issues (including the economy) behind the GOP's main issue -- especially conceding that 100 years in Iraq is better than whatever the other Democratic nominee is proposing (which, in future terms, sounds a hell of a lot more like Clinton).

@TP:
gee, TP is somehow appropriate for you...I'll leave you to figure that out as toilet humor is up your alley.

Yeah, the Obamateur losing 48 or 49 states is really going to kill me! you got quite a record. Howard Dean was a national movement. Governor Grey was going to smoke Arnie, and all that stuff you just showed us, didn't you.

Well, I can only note that it's interesting that Mrs. Clinton's publicly laid out plan to leave Iraq is somehow equiv. in your mind with McCain's 100 years while Obama's willingness to put the Republicans who endorse the war on his own cabinet doesn't bother you, has publicly denounced civil rights and the hard-earned wars of the sixties, and has scarcely recognized any voter exists save for the latte drinking crowd.
I guess as they say the human mind can rationalize anything it wants to.

I'm just wondering how this is good news for you
He's the Republican nominee in November, too.
Foster is now a superdelegate. An Obama superdelegate.
yes, so he'll help ensure that Obama is the candidate. Then when McCain/Crist are leading by double digits and the RNC which already has quadruple the money that Howard Dean's bankrupt DNC has, they'll be able to focus entirely on Congressional races and this guy will have NAME RECOGNITION while the Dem is associated with a land-slide defeated presidential nominee.
In otherwords, you're cracking open the champagne a little early.
