Debunking Kingston's attacks on Obama on HBO

Cameron's Blog: Debunking Congressman Kingston's attacks on Obama: "Friday night, Congressman Jack Kingston appeared on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher. In the course of his appearance, he made a series of false statements about Obama. Bill Maher and the guests on the show did little to counter Kingston's claims, which was disappointing, particularly since they are easily debunkable, as the videos below demonstrate."

Hillary couldn't anticipate the Obama phenomenon

Adam Nagourney - New York Times:

"Mrs. Clinton has, in truth, been a very strong candidate. She has displayed an unerring command of issues, is focused on the campaign trail, strong at debates, evocative with crowds large and small. “She is better than her campaign,” said Harold Ickes, a long-time friend and a senior official in her campaign.

If Mrs. Clinton ends up losing the race, the real reason may be nothing more than she was not better than an opponent she could never have anticipated."

Prescription for profit

Director of Sicko says insurance industry would love Clinton healthcare plan:

"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) proposal to mandate that all people purchase health insurance would be a boon to the industry, filmmaker Michael Moore said Friday." -- TheHill.com.

McCain disagrees with himself

Newsweek catches McCain in a serious contradiction - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com:

"Newsweek's Mike Isikoff today obtained (or was given) the transcripts of deposition testimony which McCain himself gave under oath several years ago in litigation over the constitutionality of McCain-Feingold. In that testimony, McCain repeatedly and unequivocally stated the opposite of what he said in this week's NYT denial: namely, that he had unquestionably spoken with Paxson himself over the pending FCC matter."

Grassroots mom examines the candidates records

Daily Kos: I Refuse to Buy into the Obama Hype (now a supporter): "the 'empty rhetoric' v. 'history of accomplishments' arguments have prompted me to check it out on my own, not relying on any candidate's website, book, or worst of all supporters' diaries,"

vp choices

I hear McCain might choose Lieberman or Rice; while Obama could choose Wesley Clark, an enlightened military man (peace, Greener than Thou ;-)). Hillary would be a fool not choose Obama if she pulls off the nomination, but Barocky can do better.

Hillary's defeated

Jay Bookman opines: Hillary's defeated; GOP sets its sights on Obama:

"Thanks to substantial defeats in Wisconsin and Hawaii — giving her a losing streak of 10 in a row — Clinton has now fallen behind Barack Obama by more than 140 pledged delegates. With 981 delegates still to be elected between now and early June, it might at first glance seem possible to overcome that gap.

But it's just not so. To pull ahead of Obama in elected delegates, Clinton would have to win every one of the 16 remaining contests by margins of 15 to 20 percentage points. There is no sign that such a sweep is possible.

Clinton's only other hope for a miracle lies with her party's 800 superdelegates, who have the right to vote for the nomination because they hold elective office or high positions in the party.

However, those superdelegates show no sign of wanting to get into the miracle business, nor should they. They understand the outrage that would result if unelected delegates try to overturn the verdict of Democratic primary voters, particularly when the candidate the voters have chosen is a black man."

And I agree. ;-)
