No Suprise
I guess the euphanism "misspoke" didn't fool anyone. Everyone saw it for what it was - a Walter Mitty bald face lie. Maybe the high road does work.

Kudos to whoever is manning the headline-writing tool today...
"Did sniper fire extinguish the Wright controversy?"
Awesome.

At this point
shouldn't Clinton's closest friends and advisers be urging her to work on her Senate legacy? In ten more days everyone in North America is going to hate her.

Its the Economy Stupid
The race speech may have helped but that's yesterdays' news.
I was already an Obama supporter but the Economic speech which i watched and read in its entirety really made me feel even better about Obama.
He's a guy who is extremely intelligent and is willing to thin OUTSIDE THE BOX to find solutions. He also seems to remember to require involvement on the part of the American populace for effective solutions.
I knew all this but the economics speech nailed it. He's NOT an empty suit. And he seems to GET IT about Americans: we're tired of feeling like we have no power within our own system. That's why people are attracted to his candidacy. He has good ideas and plans, but also insists that we all become a part of the success process.
It's real. No promises (in the traditional sense). It's honest. It feels refreshing. We've been a**f**ked long enough.

The tide is turning into a tsunami
Even after Wright, the negatives are way up for Hillary and everyone but the Clintons and their followers like Joan Walsh can see that this thing is over. Bob Casey's endorsement, the resurgence of violence in a war that Hillary helped start and the recent revelations about her numerous falsehoods (everywhere but on Salon) are turning this into a done deal.

Law school debunks Clinton charges agaisnt Obama
BTW, you won't see this on Salon, but the University of Chicago released a press release showing the Clinton campaign alleging Obama lied about his law school professorship - was itself another Clinton lie. Here is the release with caps for certain words: From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as PROFESSORS, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a PROFESSOR in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined. So now all the Obama haters and media and the Clinton campaign will immediately apologize for slandering Senator Obama, right?
-
When are the cynical talking heads right?
Seriously. Have they ever been right? I think it is now safe to assume that Obama's race speech will go down in history as one of the greatest speeches of all time. The more the talking heads poo-pah it, the more the people will love it.

And incidentally
McCain's nomination speaks volumes to the same dynamic...people want (or say they want) straight talk. We would like to believe someone will tell it like it is. (Huckabee had a not insignificant following as well.. and wanted to establish a flat tax!)
THIS is the real reason Clinton hasn't done as well as was expected. A fair number of people are not sure to believe what she says. She *looks* like the old system of politics. The more *kitchen sink* that comes out, the more her ratings are going to go down. It looks like *more of the same old politics* and people are rejecting that out of hand on both sides of the aisle.

Give a dog a bad name
That was the way I saw Hillary's reputation before the campaign. I'll admit that given her negatives with independents and potential cross-over republicans I though that if she cared about party and country more than self, she should stay out, but the rest of the "stuff" the Scaife funded campaign against her, Limbaugh's attacks had said was something I ignored.
To put it more simply, I thought the negative stuff about her was probably not true or very exaggerated. I suspect a lot of voters thought or suspected it might be true but exaggerated, but discounted it because of lack of proof i their own eyes and because of the hyper-partisan sources, i.e., Limbaugh, Coulter, the Republicans, etc. The problem is that the Hillary campaign seems to have gone out of its way to convince everyone who would have given her the benefit of the doubt that the negatives are indeed true!
This is why her campaign are half-wits -- Hillary's biggest problem has all along been her negatives -- Obama's biggest strength the perceived absence of the same negatives. All her campaign staff have done is cement her negatives, which is a big part of why voter favor Obama over Hillary. They have pissed away a 20-point lead by convincing people that what the Republicans say about Hillary is true. Way to go!

Eagle Publishing
1 Mass Ave, NW is a building near the Capitol used by a lot of lobbyists. It is also the home of Regnery Publishing -- as in Anne Coulter, Rich Miniter, et al. My money is that Eagle Publishing is a front for Regnery

Correction Eagle Publishing=Regnery Publishing/National Review
Bryant Smith is the key.

What's wrong with Teflon?
Don't we Democrats need some Teflon in our candidates?
