Obama's campaign is right on...keep donating everyone!
I read somewhere this morning that part of the strategy was to make McCain spend money - I love it!
The sweeping and dual grassroots/netroots partnership that the Obama campaign is rolling out will facilitate building a concensus around Obama.
In the already racially polarized political climate, won't the creation of a black focused news channel be used against Obama, some way and somehow?
It WOULD be a problem if someone on the left were beginning it. But, Watts is a staunch Republican. he can say something like it's another channel, and it's another avenue by which news can travel. Since Watts is creating it, that means that the diversity of the Black community will be shown (we don't know for sure but Obama can use that as a talking point).
JCWatts carried a lot of water for the GOP, and we can always hit back if they try and attack Obama on this point.
I know that Barack Obama has won by reaching out to and valuing Black people and whites and Latinos around the country, so I don't believe he will tolerate a 50-state blogger program at the Convention that has 53 whites and MAYBE two people who are not white.
Or maybe he'll just create a parallel program that institutionalizes the participation of Black blog in the same way that the 50-state program floor blog program institutionalizes the participation of 55 virtually all-white blogs.
Anyway, this is a great time in American history for those of us who have always wanted to see the end of the 43-term white male monopoly of the presidency.
I can already hear the likes of Pat Buchanan, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and the Fox hounds turning this into a problem for O. Even though JC is a Repub, his station could be another vehicle used to falsely alarm white voters by suggesting a collusion and conflicts of interest among the ideas of black self-reliance, theology, nationalism (think Trinity United Methodist) and radicalism.
Obama might be asked if he'd ever appear on the network and if he finds racism inherent in the station's focus and name. Remember, these guys think that Miss Black America and HBCU's are no longer necessary and are racist because their counterparts could never exist in the America of today. For example, a network that billed itself as the "White Television Network" would never make it on the air and get the backing of Comcast.
That certainly allowed Obama to fund-raise & organize in the remaining states. Notice how it seemed Obama stopped competing at a certain point. What I wonder is whether the Clinton camp knew what was going on, yet continued their public spin anyway.
I can see the O team thinking this would allow her to have her day in court - so to speak - and avoid them being accused of pushing her out....in addition to the 50 state org. advantage.
My gut says the Clinton's did know. A few times there was a strange vibe from their surrogates on panel. They'd lost a long time ago, everything else was theater.
Sneaky, sneaky.
I had the same thought! I noticed he stopped competing in WV & Kentucky or it seemed, very little in those states!
Chuck Todd told us the night of the Wisconsin Primary - it was over. How it was mathematically impossible for her to overtake him in PLEDGED DELEGATES. That was what, back in February?
We were tortured by the MSM going along with whatever fraud the Clinton Campaign began to spin...the goalposts changing all the time...remember.
THAT was real. The MSM in collusion with Camp Hillpatine was real.
I still go back to that post I read Post-Pennsylvania. I do believe the twin goals of Obama going so hard in PA was twofold:
1. Spend money there as a General Election investment.
2. Bankrupt Hillpatine.
Once those goals were achieved, they had to play it out to the end, but they were done after Pennsylvania, IMO.
And thank you to everyone here who's been living the walk by getting people registered.
