If Obama falls for that....sorry he finished for good!
Over on The Field, Al Giordano names Kaine, Sebelius and Dodd, in that order, as Obama's VP frontrunners. Sounds about right to me, because I see Edwards as AG, Richardson or Biden at State, Webb or (Colin) Powell or the longshot Clark at Defense, an offer to Hilary for HHS which she won't accept because it isn't high profile enough. But VP has been off the table since he announced his vetting committee. Besides, Clinton would never be vetted because Billy Jeff ain't opening up his finances for her to be vetted.... Ergo, she wasn't vetted during the primaries either, which is another reason that she lost the delegate count.
Apparently a number of diarists have become as fed up as I am at the constant divisiveness and bickering showing up in the community and have started spamming the list with diaries consisting of short messages of support for Obeezy.
I couldn't miss out on the fun so I had to get my bid in as well.
I say he's no worse than Jerry Brown - resting on his laurels.
Ah hello...the clip they showed was from a townhall meeting somewhere, and the only snippet they showed was the "Dr Phil" remark. My guess is "Harold" that Barack continued after the soundbite by discussing his plans.

One and done for snufffalofugus, and Gibson.
Fox News Period.
Lets make it official ala John Edwards. Total avoidance.
Wes Clark
Rikyrah touched on this with him being a surrogate for Camp Clinton and all, but theres a very large part of me that believes questioning John McCains service was a deliberate swipe. Not for attack, but for the media to go at you. No one in there right mind is going to bash a POW.
HillBlazers.
Another one Rik. touched on. When you see somone named Forester de Rothschild calling you elite, it goes far beyond pot calling the kettle black. That speaks of a larger issue. Im convinced they (Hillblazers et al) are never going to recognize your accomplishments, and willl forever acknowedge you an uppitty you know what behind closed doors.
Blue Dog Dems.
They flip more then Betty Okino. They are not centrist. There WOLVES. As to is the DLC.
Gave a lot of credit to Michelle Bernard tonight on the Chris Matthews show trying to explain the tight rope Obama has to walk between the angry black man vs the elite out of touch guy. I think Mike Barnicle wanted to explore that more but didn't have the time.
And she was a big Clinton supporter during the primaries. I don't trust her at all.
I would add the following to the list:
Wolf "Breathless" Blitzer over at CNN (The Clinton News Network)
Campbell (Mrs. Dan Senor) Brown also over at CNN(The Clinton news network)
Lou Dobbs and his possee , CNN
Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchannan, Tucker Carlson, Contessa Brewer, oh heck, the whole MSNBC gang with the exception of Keith Olberman, the verdict is still out on Dan Abrahms.
I'm going to part ways with you on the old guard Civil Rights leaders. After all Obama wouldn't even be the "presumtive Democratic nominee" had it not been for their efforts and the fact that Bush was such a F#$K Up.

Mike Barnacle, maybe.
Rachel Maddow, yes, except for that hour she lets David Gregory hijack her XM radio show to spew right wing talking points.
Soledad, Yes
Andersn Cooper, maybe, I haven't forgotten how he treated Ray Nagin after Katrina because Ray wouldn't kiss his donkey.
i'm glad that their reporting serves as a slight contrast to the negative from everywhere else, but i wouldn't confuse the issue. WHY does keith find it necessary to "call out" bill o'reilly (someone whose program i'd never watch) on a seemingly daily basis? it's basically free publicity for FOX. i see that hour (countdown) as an appeasement--an attempt to distract from the extreme 24/7 media bias in mccain's favour. one little hour out of the day is like throwing a hungry dog a bare bone. sure, he'll take it, but damn.
I wouldn't trust 90% of the Democratic party. I'd only trust those Dems who were down with Obama before Iowa. The white liberals want Obama to be their dancing monkey. The whole screaming and moaning about FISA isn't about FISA, it's about he didn't dance to their tune, and now they have an attitude of "we made you so we'll break you." I don't see that treatment being given to anyone else.
The Old Guard and Race, Inc. doesn't want Obama to win because an Obama win renders them as about current as a Beta Max, Walkman or Laser Disc.
The "liberal" media doesn't want him to win, they just want a story and ratings. I hold the "liberal media" 99% responsible for whipping up the race stuff, just so they can get some ratings. Everyone was crying over Tim Russert but he was one of the main ones grilling Obama about Farrakhan, a man he doesn't associate with and EVERYONE KNOWS he doesn't associate with him. Only thing they have in common is they both live in Chicago. Why didn't Tim Russert grill Hillary on David Duke? Or John McCain?
I 100% believe the ONLY reason Obama is getting this level of disrespect on all levels from all sides is because he's black. If Obama were white, but was the 2nd coming of Mondale and Dukakis, and was 90% down in the polls, he'd still be getting more respect than he is now.
And I"m getting way tired of all the violent fantasies displayed towards him, which wouldn't (IMO) be on display if he were white. Kiss his ass. Rip his nuts off. Give him Hillary's extra ball. Assassination. Lynch Michelle. None of this would be uttered if the candidate was white. Jesse would not casually lean in on the hot mic and talk about ripping nuts off if Obama was white. Where was all the nut ripping rage when Bill & Hillary were race baiting? And lets not forget all the rage shown towards brown Bill Richardson for his defection towards Obama, but nary a peep towards white Robert Reich.
Anyway, white folk are getting all riled up with Obama's FISA vote and still don't get that it really isn't FISA but the Patriot Act and the criminal in the WH that have placed the 4th amendment in jeopardy, if it really is in jeopardy.
You know I agree with you 100 percent.
I don't believe he'd be getting this shit from folks if he was White. I might be wrong, but I don't think I am.
I have to agree with those who say that, like Fox and Clinton News Network, MSNBC has absolutely no respect for Obama as the presumptive nominee, not even Chris "Tweety" Matthews who, just a few days ago, was praising Surly McMumbles' latest ad, while still mouthing his racist whine about white women not voting for Obama.
In fact, it's safe to say that none of corporate media, with special emphasis on cable news networks' mules for Mccain, are supportive of Obama. I am also suspicious of Olbermann, especially given his special comment re the nontroversy that is FISA (right on, Town), as well as his Daily Kos diary claiming that Norquist's statement that "Obama is John Kerry with a tan" was 'racist,' though it wasn't even a good political insult!
I wil never forget that one Friday, just as the Jeremiah Wright nontroversy was dying down, Lizard Abrams did a whole hour on Obama and Wright that reran an entire weekend.
As for Monkey Boy Gregory - he showed his hand years ago, before Obama even announced, when he had the dance off with Turd Blossom at the White House Press Corps Dinner.
The diarist is correct in saying that he shouldn't trust the self-appointed old guard civil rights activists, including Mush Mouth Jesse and former UN Ambassador Andrew Young, who had the effrontery to say that Billy Jeff Clinton 'dated' more black women than Obama, as if that's something worthy of public discussion.
As for the Clintons, particularly, the jr. senator from NY - Obama's mother was white and his grandmother is white, and he was raised by them, and his white grandfather. Consequently, folk should never forget that he knows white people through and through, particularly white women, and I commend him for using his knowledge to manipulate her very well. In fact, he is better acquaiinted with the ways of white folk than of black folk.
Media need this to be closer than it really is and they want to drive the narrative as they used to do. None of them are ready to admit that, not only is Obama running a campaign that doesn't mirror politics as usual, the Netroots has become the media that drives the political narrative.
I've got an idea: He's been associate with so many "girls" - maybe one of them could run too. That would better the odds. Just a thought. :>)

It's the funniest thing ever b/c when u watch Harold on Morning Joe u can just see the hate, he tries to hide it, but u know its there, plus the jealousy!
Also, Bill's first public statement since Hillary conceded contains praise for McCain's energy plan.
I hate to be a political gossip-monger, but can you pass on a bit more about the Ford/Obama rivalry? I much rather would've had Ford in that TN seat than dim-bulb Bob Corker, and I fumed at the race-baiting the Republicans pulled in that contest, sending a small donation in answer to their filth. I am for Obama in the general and noticed that B.O. and H.F. get on well in public, with some suggesting that B.O. might appoint him to something. Barack did campaign for him in Tennessee...Perhaps Ford The Younger thinks Obama didn't do enough for him? Ford's jealousy, if it exists, is wholly unjustified. Obama is older than Ford and, I think, has more seasoning for teh highest level of government, so what's eating HFJ?
The one true thing that people say when they talk about Barack Obama is that he didn't 'wait his turn'. That much is true. The Dark Sith had played the game, and set himself up, and thought he was going to be the ' next big Black thing'. It was all going according to plan...
Until Barack Obama made a little speech in 2004. Obama took off and never looked back.
Obama was forced (if you believe those who talk about such things) to do the campaigning for Dark Sith.
He has NEVER supported Obama. Obama got in his way of HIS dream of being the First Black President. I'm a tv political junkie. I have watched, since the moment it was rumored that Obama MIGHT be running, all those talking head shows (except for those on Fox Noise - will never watch them). So, I was able to avoid watching Dark Sith. But, Nobody Black on Fox Noise is going to say anything remotely defending Black folk - not the HIRES...maybe the ' Angry Black Man' commentators that they bring on (Boyce Watkins, Marc Lamont Hill, Dyson, etc.) But someone getting a paycheck from them? hell no.
So I didn't have to watch Dark Sith. Then, he messed it all up and signed up with MSNBC, popping up all over the place. Didn't have a nice thing to say about Obama- period. Not until the night of Indiana /North Carolina and Russert said -' we have a nominee'. Then, he could find his positive Obama voice. Yeah, right. He's part of the DLC. And, there's no greater threat to the DLC than Barack Obama. So, he didn't win his Senate seat, he married Snowflake, here's Obama winning the nomination, and he's backed the wrong horses- literally (Clinton and The DLC).
Don't forget the bullshit column of Colbert King's (WaPo), I believe, AFTER Wisconsin (when Chuck Todd had already said that Obama had the Pledged Delegate thing shut down), that the idea was ' floated' that Harold Ford would be a possible VP choice for Clinton. That was done to 'threaten' Obama, who paid them no mind.
There were three candidates in the running for the First Black President Sweepstakes:
Barack Obama
Deval Patrick
and a half -step behind (because he lost his Senate seat), Dark Sith.
I will always believe Obama ran because he wanted a head start on the competition.
If you need more readings on The Dark Sith, go over to Skeptical Brotha and put Harold Ford, Jr. into the search engine. I promise you, the readings will be illuminating.

I enjoy reading your posts and have noticed that your comments regarding "The Dark Sith" almost seem personal. What gives?
By the way, Mr. Sith will be on today's MTP.
I fell out with Harold Ford, Jr. for the same reason I fell out with Clarence Thomas before he ever made one decision on the Supreme Court: they lied on FAMILY and used them.
Family can become collaterally damaged during a campaign.
