More about the Yule Goat
I don't know about those other two, but Ros-Lehtinen is majorily supported by AIPAC. ($94,000 career 2006) Wasserman Schultz probably knows better than to rock that boat if she wants to keep her seat. Anyone see a gorilla around here?
For those voters, Wright is a clear yes or no question. Trying to split the difference, however amiably, as Obama did by rejecting Wright's most inflammatory comments while also sympathetically explaining them and equating them to white frustrations, created a muddle that has reinforced doubts about Obama's convictions and values.

Obama can and will win this thing. I have no doubt.
No matter the near ubiquitous pundit cant about Rev. Wright's flammability, the reverend's words were not the problem video editing made the remarks appear in the breathless TVboarding of the last two+ weeks.
HRC, ironically, has become the tar baby with her-own-self and surrogates hobbled by the absurd slime they once happily tossed.
Carville, the outsider now turned mega-wealthy ultimate insider, looks bereft of reason with his “Judas” remark about Richardson…The NM gov should have accidentally taped his heated Hillary chat and should accidentally release it…
C'mon Joe. You know it is. Get with the program here. Today's Democratic Party now sports the Lieberman Exception Doctrine. Democrats are no longer required to support Democrats. That's so old school. Today, Democratic primaries should be be seen more as "suggestions of some possible candidates maybe" rather than any kind actual selection process. Likewise, today's Democrats must award key committee chairmanships to non-Democratic winners. Senators Obama and Clinton have both demonstrated that they fully support the Lieberman Exception Doctrine.
Ned Lamont was so last-century, ya know. This is who the Democrats are today. This is how they earn it. Wake up and smell the coffee!
Or, maybe friendly hetero tapping ...It's a thin wall to transit philosophies as the WP's Larry Craig peeps clearly show:

Oy vey.....
Wasserman supports three republican candidates up for election in three Florida districts.
Hillary thinks John McCain is better suited to be president than Obama
Lieberman is in bed with John McCain, (with is head shoved so far up his *ss that he wants to try for VP on McCain's ticket)
Am I missing something here?? Or am I in a parallel universe.
I simply don't get it. No wonder Democrats lose when they should be winning.
Any nacent ideas that this guy was moderating crashed last week as he called to laughingly chortle over "the demise of the democratic party" (he still calls it democratic, silly boy) and the terrible things Obama called his white grandmother. I denied the first by saying to this family member that he surely appeared overly interested in a party so poised on the alleged brink and denied the second by saying one of our older family members often employs awkward and archaic modes of speech without intending racism. I told him he was simply repeating the Rethug/Hillary spin I've been hearing on the toob and he insisted he "watched the speech and formed my own opinions".
Anyway, this guy was more ginned-up than he's been in years...Have we Team Hillary and the DINOs to thank???
Agreed. That's why the DNC credentials committee at the convention has got to clean house, throw out Howard Dean and the totalitarians, spit in the face of Republican Corporitism and reclaim the traditonal Democrats' motto: "I don't belong to an organized party, I'm a Democrat."
Get it?
The Democratic party is swallowing its own tail this election cycle, and I certainly can understand why Florida Democrats are choosing to reserve their political capital for themselves -- this is an anti-incumbent year, and they are distancing themselves from the national party. After all, it's not like the DNC is helping Florida congresspeople, what with refusing to seat Florida delegates and all.
What I don't understand is, when three Florida Democrats find it necessary to make the same decision, to distance themselves from the national party, that Democrats don't take it as an indication that there is a problem, and then try to fix the problem.
It really is beginning to look like the DNC has no balls to put it plainly.
Thank god I am an Independent, or as Pennsylvania so quaintly puts it No Party. Whatever you want to call it, I will be voting for Obama, despite wrong-headed Ed Rendell, PA's governor supporting the DINO monster bitch!
Hmmmmm?
