It really would help people (like me) remember and get on board with O\'s way of being. He has the Aloha spirit, and that is his way. He just isn\'t as mean spirited and belligerent as most americans. He just isn\'t a jerk. It\'s hard to wrap the brain around. There is so much emphasis on the "commander in chief" aspect and far less on the more cerebral aspects of the presidency. I\'m going to go examine my inner barbarian.</div>\

"I work in a restaurant. I can\'t take off a whole shift to go sit in a caucus. We need to all be on the same primary system. Why should 2,000 people in Iowa have the same say as 2 million in Pennsylvania?"<br><br>Whitener and a small group of Clinton supporters planned to press the Democratic National Committee\'s platform committee Saturday to call for an end to caucuses. They attended as guests.<br><br>They also hoped urged the committee to amend the party platform to adopt a winner-takes-all system of primaries and an end of the proportional allocation of nominating delegates.<br><br>While likely to fail, their proposal underscored the lingering sense that Clinton was treated unfairly in her historic campaign.</div>\

You do not win by the popular vote which is what the national polls essentially measure.<br><br>Bye targeting states specifically, obama is truly using a 50 state strategy.  While McCain is busy releasing national ads (when most people agree that most voters aren\'t really paying attention).  But what do people pay attention to, their local news, newspaper.  Many people read their local newspaper daily, but they may not watch national news as much.  By specifically targeting states Obama is putting the issues in the context of what should be important to the voter.</div>\

Obama, the SCHOLARSHIP KID, is the elitist. <br><br>from the piece:<br><br><i>Obama\'s elite schooling may prove a risky topic for McCain, who attended St. Stephen’s, an exclusive school in Alexandria, Va., and then Episcopal High, a private boarding school in the same city, in the 1950s. The son and grandson of Navy admirals, he ended up at the Naval Academy, where, as he often reminds voters, he finished near the bottom of his graduating class. <br><br>“While John McCain went to private school, he also went to public university,” said Bounds. “The Naval Academy is as public as public gets,” he added, noting that a four-year military commitment is required following school. </i><br><br>But, the Admiral\'s son and Grandson, who graduated 5th from the bottom, well...<br><br>Uh huh.</div>\

Any predictions?<br><br>I watched the CNN/LarryKing coverage, and the "journalist" who interviewed Hunter (the baby mama) read an odd quote she gave him. To paraphrase, she said that politics causes people (politicians) to give a false, 1950\'s image (perfect family-Father Knows Best) in order to appeal to the masses, but no one is really like that. This makes me think he gave her the married man line...."My wife and I have an arrangement. She\'s sickly and not able to take care of my manly needs. We\'re more like roomates than husband and wife. We are staying together for the kids, but we basically lead separate lives.........."  Ladies, raise your hand if you\'ve never heard some version of this spiel.<br><br>I think she is going to expose him unless he continues to pay her. She might expose him thru surrogates. Her family challenged him to take the paternity test. When will this story die? I say definitely not before October.</div>\

I still remember being disappointed by his half-assed so-called endorsement, and I wondered  if/when he was going to bring it.<br><br>I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt, and I do expect that they are gpong to be mature and do the right thing in spite of their disappointment.

The only way I could see Rielle tipping off the Enquirer is if she felt scorned by John and wasn\'t getting her payday.<br><br>It\'s more likely that Elizabeth Edwards or Mrs. Young tipped off the Enquirer:<br><br>Mrs. Young might not have appreciated her husband having to take the fall for John Edwards;<br><br>Elizabeth Edwards might want revenge on John for putting himself over her, leaving her alone to campaign while she sits at home waiting to die, leaving her sick at home with two very young children, tipping out on her with his mistress of two years.<br><br>Elizabeth Edwards would have more access to John\'s comings and goings than Mrs. Young.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-1149605" class="dsq-comment-message">I missed Hunter\'s decision to decline the paternity test. Elizabeth must know that this is her husband\'s love child, even with his public denial. Why did JE go visit Hunter & child @hotel @ 2:40 am? Andrew Young, the person who originally claimed paternity, lives with his wife & 3 kids. It\'s curious how no one is stalking them for comments if the child is his, and why his name isn\'t on child\'s birth certificate.  This is waaaay better than any novela.<br><br>I do hope this situation is used to sweat McCain. I don\'t think there is a lot of amo asking him about the incredibly old episode that happened between wife 1 & 2. I\'d be more interested in learning about affairs he\'s had since he married Barbie. I have a feeling....If only someone will come forward....</div>\
