NetTrends’08 at Night:
“Barack Obama met with representatives from various draft campaigns, including RunObama, DraftObama.org, and DraftBarackin2008.com.” TechPresident notes: “The participants were moved by Obama’s frankness and willingness to talk about his campaign structure. From the RunObama blog, ‘I can’t think of any candidate that I’ve ever met who would sit down and not just go through the motions, but actually engage in a frank discussion about campaign structure and integration, to best harness all the energy out there surrounding him.’”

Hey TP twerp,
Fix the time on this and move it up!
March 4th, 2007 at 10:32 pmThat’s better, baby.
Sorry I called you a twerp.
March 4th, 2007 at 11:33 pmi haven’t heard much about today’s selma march…
but i had this thought when i first heard that barack and hillary were going to be there… wouldn’t it have been wonderful if they had stood side by side, then taken each others arm, and marched together…
what an awsome sign of solidarity that would have been…
March 5th, 2007 at 12:19 am…
I was thinking the same thing, Katy. That would have been awesome but since I haven’t seen anything on TV about it who knows what happened.
In regards to this thread…is this something that usually doesn’t happen? I would think that any candidate would express their views on how their campaign is going to function, their goals and stuff, especially when meeting with supporters. Is this newsworthy because it doesn’t usually happen like that?

March 5th, 2007 at 3:11 amNEWS BLACKOUT ON SELMA MARCH?
Who would think the TV coverage would not cover Obama and Clinton marching in Selma? The other night on ABC radio news they covered Drag Angry Ann Coulter calling John Edwards a “faggot” as though that were worthy of mainstream news coverage.
March 5th, 2007 at 7:08 amThis particular story about Obama being frank and willing to discuss his campaugn structure is propaganda. As if any thinking voter would believe that any major national candidate would not, as a usual practice, have frank discussions at some point with their campaign organizations! Looks like we’re having Obama shoved down our throats just the way they shoved Kerry down our throats. All they had to do then was doctor the audio from the infamous Dean Scream Speech and away the sheep went… If any progressive liveral American really beleives the American heartland voters will vote for an African American named Hussein over America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani or America’s War Hero and Maverick John McCain, they are deluding themselves.
Sorry Shirley, I do not agree with your post….Guiliani(sp) has a one week service for the country and 3 wives and baggage against the week to run on…The mean’s a no win..McCain altho he did serve our country and use to have some credability, lost it from 2000 on with his association and being beat down by his own party…Now he has become the flip flopper…Lastly, many think McCane is to old and senile by his actions…Another no win…Mitt may be a hope for the republican’s but I don’t think the public will vote for a mormon at the present time..
Obama on the other hand show’s promise to the country and may draw the vote’s from all people of color…There are so many good candidates running and some that may not have their hat in the ring yet it is hard to say who will end up with the nod’s from their parties….The way thing’s are going right now we may even have a third party by the 2008 election or we may not be able to vote at all..Blessings.
March 5th, 2007 at 7:41 amShirley, Guliani doesn’t reflect the conservative ideals and mayors often do not attain higher office;
March 5th, 2007 at 8:01 am
So Obama looks electable and is open about the process. He is still a packaged, frilly empty man with no executive expereince, no experience in peace making, and no track record that his hopefulness is effect.

katy,
They actually had a photo-op yesterday when Obama went to where Bill was speaking…
…they embraced and the people were ecstatic…
…it was a moment in STARK contrast to the CPAC Convention of Hate…
…C-Span may show some re-runs of the Clinton-Obama speeches…
…I thought it was very telling that on CNN John Fund of the WSJ…
…opined that “on paper (in written form) Hillary’s speech was better than Obamas, but her delivery was not.”…
…I saw BOTH speeches and they were quite parallel in their message…
…But Obama’s was clearly more effective written or otherwise…
March 5th, 2007 at 9:00 amIt’s early in the campaign (reaallly early) and I am not committed to any one candidate yet. But, I’ve been leaning toward Obama and part of the reason is that he more like Bill Clinton than Hillary Clinton is in terms of charisma and the ability to connect to people. Thus, he may share many of Hillary Clinton’s policy views but I think he is more electable and can persuade more people toward his views and get more done.
March 5th, 2007 at 9:13 amgood to know, big papa… thanks!
sure wish that hug had been with hillary…
i think i did see a video clip of the march in which she and barack were both at the front of the march… several people were between them…
and each was looking in opposite directions…
but still, marching “together”…
bill’s tall white head sure stuck out among that crowd… heh…

Everybody knows that, I wasn’t trying to fool anyone.
March 5th, 2007 at 10:17 amSenator Obama IS MOVING AHEAD of Senator Clinton–it would be a good idea if she were to ALLY with him instead of running AGAINST him–compromise so they can TOPPLE the challenge from the repugnant-repub rightwingnut cranks Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani, the two TWERPS I believe will be the fudge-pachyderms’, the G(houlish) O(pportunistic) P(edophile)’s 2008 candidates!!!!! McPAIN and the UDDERS(cow’s teats) won’t even place in the primaries!!!!!

Shirley,
I suspect there are more people who agree with you…
…DUHMerica is blinded and crippled by its racial, ethnic, gender and sexual orientation polarization and hatred…
…unless something is done about DUHmerica’s “Heartlanced” unAmerican, anti-democratic right wing conned’self-servative al Crackkker Bushite TRAITORS…
…this country, (this GREAT experiment in Democracy), is doomed to failure…
…Russia and china are plotting the economic demise…
…while the right wing ideological imbeciles are destroying government’s credibility (”starving the beast” as they call it)…
…unless Liberal progressives (like Obama) rise to power…
…DUHmerica is going to choke on its own “Heartclogging” sh*t…
