A brief reminder: the goal is to WIN in November

McCain will bomb bomb bomb Iran....a military 'option' still very much on the table (as we see with the forced resignation today of Bush's recently appointed Naval General who resisted starting another conflict in the Middle East...

BOTH of these candidates need to knock it the hell off.

If they are both going to continue in this race, they need to talk about McCain ALL THE TIME....

I agree that Hillary should get out (and, I was a Hillary supporter, feel free to read my journal entires, she can't win the popular delegate count & she is splitting the dems in two, and the party is MORE important then her). However, Obama has gone into the slime with her, and he is failing to define McCain as the dangerous, old, deranged nut job that he is....

So, Obama camp, I will give you some advice. STOP focusing on these boards bashing Hillary, and start campaigning against McCain. Hillary supporters YOU TOO.

Why not make a video about McCain's record....His ridiculous statement....

What about doing a bomb, bomb, bomb Iran NEW video montage....Or, a mix of McCain stating he does not understand economics....

Anything but this bullshit....

Write the campaigns and tell them to KNOCK IT OFF now. Call the campaigns and tell them you do not want to risk a President who might very well NUKE Iran (that is there sick, deranged plan, you know - bunker buster NUCLEAR weapons)....We are talking about killing human beings with NUKES.

1. Actually, that's just one goal, a tactical one at that. You see, there is life beyond 2017.
Sure, a win for the left in November is the goal but we also have to lay the foundation beyond that.

3. I used to think it might be good to have to wait another four years

And, then get a real progressive....

But, we do NOT have the luxury of time. And, we do not have the luxury of another four years....

Life beyond 2017. Let's hope it McCain doesn't wipe it off the planet.

2. If it's any consolation, GDP doesn't matter.
Clinton is in the process of burning her bridges. Any state delegates she gains in Pennsylvania by not regulating the tacky comments of her supporters will be quickly offset by superdelegates whom she's pissed off with such kamakazi words.

In the final count, I suspect Obama supportes will end up praising the superdelegate process while the Clinton base ends up denouncing them.
