Obama responds on the issue of spending limits

In a USA Today Op-Ed piece, Barack Obama responded to the issue of spending limits in the general election. He will seek an agreement, but it will not be an easy agreement to craft since supporters on both sides can cheat the system.

Let’s see if the press is capable of reporting on this issue in a fair manner. They will actually have to dig in and understand the issue, which means it might take longer than a 30-second explanation. They have 24 hours per day available on cable news, so one would hope they could deal with this responsibly. Unfortunately, that might be too much to ask.

Obama trounces Clinton again

It’s looking like a double-digit win. This is what she deserves after her lame attacks.

Also, Clinton again chose not to give any kind of concession speech. Tim Russert pointed out that the Obama campaign was watching this, and decided to go ahead and have Barack start speaking before she finished. All the networks decided to cut to Obama. Smart move.

The debates are her last chance.

Wisconsin is critical

Obama needs to win tonight. I’m not sure what to make of his campaign’s decision to campaign in Texas today. Hopefully their internal polls are showing a comfortable win. With two weeks to go, another day in Wisconsin to get every last vote would have been my preference, though I understand early voting starts in Texas today.

Obama has closed the gap in Texas and now the polls are tightening in Ohio. A win in Wisconsin keeps the momentum going, but a loss would he a huge story.

Apart from New Hampshire, Obama has been outperforming the polls through most of the campaign, particularly through the recent winning streak. Hopefully this trend continues tonight.

New heights of idiocy

Kos nails it.

My memory is hazy. Was the Dean campaign as pathetic during its “implosion” stage as the Clinton campaign has behaved the last week or two?

I’m trying to figure out if this is normal behavior for a desperate campaign or if the Clintons are reaching new heights of idiocy.

Read the comments to this post. Readers are having a fun time finding Hillary quotes where she is lifting campaign slogans from Obama and even lines from John Edwards. It’s hilarious.

This is the same campaign that tried to criticize Obama for something he allegedly said when he was in kintergarden.
