Speaking of Mud...
Bloomsbury... Watch the mud fly! No candidate can win without the south and the Republicans are betting their last throw of the dice on the fact that Obama won't win the south. Hillary on the other hand could still pick up the working class/female vote in the south.
I like Mudcat. He was with Edwards campaign, however. You see how that worked out. You also have to define "The South". Which states. Dems don't need the south.
You can just read these:

@Slackie Onassis
Yeah, right. The sliming the media does for the Repubs against Dem candidates doesn't work anymore and backfires.
Gosh, and to think I saw you cackling and gurgling and sliming all over Salon's editorials for months on end all thrilled at what they were doing to bring Hillary down.
Not effective at all.
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, slimeball. Your clothless empire is about to get his now. The only difference is the egomanic unqualified, turdblossom in Dem clothing deserves it.
You had your fun, cheeseball. Now the rest of us you screwed over (you know those of us who wanted a TESTED candidate) will have ours.
And Glenn Greenwald should just go back to the wings of the nutright and stop pretending.

Sysprog:
Thanks for doing the footwork and for putting the meat and potatoes of the 'Obama legislation and bipartisan workings' into this thread. Carries more weight than, "He ain't done nuthin that I know of, and I betcha you can't find anythin' he's done'.

McCain and some very special interests
Solon’s War Room talked about this article today and stories like this about the real McCain can come back to haunt his “I’m Mr. Clean hero” image.
New York Times, By JIM RUTENBERG, MARILYN W. THOMPSON, DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK and STEPHEN LABATON, Published: February 21, 2008
WASHINGTON — Early in Senator John McCain’s first run for the White House eight years ago, waves of anxiety swept through his small circle of advisers.
A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, visiting his offices and accompanying him on a client’s corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself — instructing staff members to block the woman’s access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity.
When news organizations reported that Mr. McCain had written letters to government regulators on behalf of the lobbyist’s client, the former campaign associates said, some aides feared for a time that attention would fall on her involvement.
It had been just a decade since an official favor for a friend with regulatory problems had nearly ended Mr. McCain’s political career by ensnaring him in the Keating Five scandal. In the years that followed, he reinvented himself as the scourge of special interests, a crusader for stricter ethics and campaign finance rules, a man of honor chastened by a brush with shame.
But the concerns about Mr. McCain’s relationship with Ms. Iseman underscored an enduring paradox of his post-Keating career. Even as he has vowed to hold himself to the highest ethical standards, his confidence in his own integrity has sometimes seemed to blind him to potentially embarrassing conflicts of interest.
