Directly and indirectly, Joni Balter and to a lesser degree Joel Connelly give Obama his props. If I was a Democrat I'd be of the same general mind in that race, which Obama is increasingly winning.
P.S. The Stranger digs the Audacity of Hope too.
UPDATE: And here's the Stranger's more recent Obama coverage, complete with insights from Eli Sanders on the ground in Iowa covering Oprah-fest.
Posted by Eric Earling at December 11, 2007 07:52 AM | Email ThisExample: Clinton, Obama and Edwards and almost all Democrats speak as if the Federal Government were still the primary driver of domestic policy. They criticize Bush for "not doing things".
Unfortunately, these Senators, Governors, Representatives, Mayors and other local yokels should be "pointing the canon at themselves". The Federal Government is no longer responsible for health care, education, social issues, roads and so on -- the states are. And having a John Edwards going around complaining is ridiculous. If he wants change he should stay in his state and do something.
Same for Nickles, Sims, and Gregoire. If there is no money its because of bad state management -- it has zip to do with Bush!
Does the phrase 'you need to spend money to make money' apply to the Govt. too?
The government does NOT, in any way shape or form, MAKE money. It TAKES money.
Big difference, kiddo.
Posted by: Ragnar Danneskjold on December 11, 2007 11:03 AMStill you must admit any supply sider with half-a-brain would agree that spending money you don't have on wars to "win the hearts and minds" of foreign countries is a bad idea.
It's called a UNION and for us fire fighters in this state we have NO choice!
Use your brain before engaging your mouth!
Posted by: Army Medic/Vet on December 11, 2007 11:41 AMThe actual critical thinking adults in the Democratic Party are soiling their shorts as they realize......
-Hillary's negatives are increasing and the GOP hasnt even gotten started. The more most know about her, the worse off she is. Gone after a trifecta of primary defeats. Oh darn....
-Obama is too white for blacks and too Muslim for whites and too inexperienced for most anybody's taste. A press wet dream
-Edwards is a pretty boy ambulance chasing phoney
-Gore is an eccentric oddball peddling doom, gloom, standard of living confiscation and global warming snake oil
The Dems have no one, other than the brain dead media........panic and reality are setting in...
"E.A. Blayre III lives in a fortified bunker, whereabouts unknown, heavily armed, waiting for the next revolution."
I doubt the book is actually endorsed by Ron Paul, but the author seems to have taken it upon himself to Spam everyone about how he's endorsed Ron Paul.
Internet is full of kooks trying to make a quick buck.
The internet also seems to be full of kooks that support Ron Paul.
