You just don't get it

Political commentators, er, I am mean, thrice discarded hacks like Greenfield just don't get it. The old rules ain't going to work this time. The "pivot" the "change the narrative" or any other bit of punditry buzz words or phrases that are designed to let us know that you're in the political know, ain't going to work. Your horse isn't going to win. The inevitable candidate that you annoited as invincible is going to lose. But you're blinded by your own elite allegiance to realize that the game is up. So, be a good little boy and take your writing cues from Bill Clinton's comments today raising "questions" about "fairy tale" Obama. Nobody cares because nobody is listening to you. We're listening and responding to someone who is going to change this country. And that person is Obama.

I meant to write, "Amen! But don't count your chickens before they're hatched."

This is exactly when the Clintons get their most vicious. After Hillary gets crushed tonight in NH, she'll really go for the jugular on poor Obama. When the Clintons have their backs against the wall they strike out at others.

She's already firing people in her campaign. She's gonna come out with a new new "new" Hillary. "What do you want me to be? Okay, I'm it!"

She's a cynical, stand for nothing but power cipher. That's pretty dangerous to go up against someone without a conscience.

Not until Obama solidly beats her on Super Tuesday will we be able to say the Hillary candidacy is dead. She's like a zombie. She's hard to kill.

It's still not going to work. Something vital and important is happening in this country. Americans, have, and I don't want to sound pollyanish about this, Americans again. We have rediscovered something important about ourselves as a people and Obama embodies and personifies that prevailing spirit. He will win, because we won't allow him to lose.

I know it's already sounding cliche' but there is something bigger about Obama than his candidacy. I am very excited about the guy, and I'm a registered Republican. I love the guy.

When I saw that he had a chance to win the nomination for the Dems, I got really excited. I think everyone's heart had been with him, and others' brains were with Hillary, thinking she was so inevitable. Now it looks like he could not only pull off the nomination, but polls are showing he could beat the Republican better than Hillary too. Wow!

I don't think he's going to instantly change the world. He could have a dramatically positive effect on our politics however. I don't know anyone who does or could really dislike him, personally, though I have a very deep dislike of Hillary and Romney and Giuliani. Not crazy about Edwards either.

Early bird,

You see, we have hope again and he has brought us together after so many years of division and ugliness. I'm a Democrat. But he makes us feel American again. You sense it. I sense it. He makes us one nation, one people. In a fundamental way, we and he have already won.

Do you get it now? Hillary is going to win in New Hampshire because the word is out on Obama...he's a big talker but he has nothing to back it up with!!

Go Hillary!!! ^^

It's a long road my friend. Obama's victory, the country's victory, I wrote about has little to do with New Hampshire. It is more fundamental than that. Open your eyes and ears and hopefully you will come to see it too. Listen to him: one nation, one people. That's the foundation of his message of hope. We need him and it now, dare I say, more than any other time in our nation's history.
