people really are starved for something else
Interesting piece in The Nation:

Obama's MLK speech is huge on the internet nationally AND internationally. I don't agree with him on everything, and I wish this campaign had taken a different route where candidates presented THEIR views and policies not just swipes at their opponants'. We really do need to hear concrete statements from these people on foreign policy, national security, global warming, alternative energy, etc. But it is interesting that people are seeking out Obama's speech which was a very positive and forward thinking piece in great numbers. The MSM is forcing the sleazy Clinton circus down our throats 24 hours a day. Of course Obama might get testy...wouldn't you?
I saw Hillary Clinton on tv last night at a campaign appearance saying Obama was getting desperate. The smug, self-satisfied, vindictive look on her face was disgusting. I'd be curious to know how many people are logging on line to marvel over that performance? The ugly, mean-spirited tactics the clinton use will get her the nomination, but in the end it will come a disastrous price.
Barack Obama really could have been the Democrats Ronald Reagan figure, but the Clintons have made sure that won't happen. I have a feeling, in their hearts (if they even have them) the Clintons know she won't win in November, but I think they're hell-bent on making sure he doesn't either.
