This is the biggest election of our generation and the question is: are we going to continue with the failed policies of the past, the division, the triangulation, and the demonization of one's opponents? Or are we going to believe in our ability to bring about change in our country, to get rid of lobbyist money, to work together as Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, to take the country back FOR ALL AMERICANS and not just for the special interests? Over 1,000,000 individuals have contributed to Obama thus far. . . this is a movement which won't be stopped. Go to Obama's web site, read his position PDF, watch his speeches and read his books. Then volunteer or contribute. There is something exciting happening here. Hillary Clinton cannot get it done, she does not inspire people of all persuations and is too mired in divisive political strategies. Her 11 state swing strategy was a failure and the 50-state strategy as designed by Dean and employed by Obama was an enormous success. Join the campaign and we will have the best nominee we've had in generations on Weds! So does this mean that I can’t advocate that people go to Obama’s web site, volunteer, and make a contribution?

Nothing matches up with this guy. Oh yeah, and talking about transparency while saying, "we will neither confirm nor deny a conversation took place." Ugh, it makes me sick to my stomach...that's Bush speak. Hillary knows what she's saying, she means it and she'll stand by it no matter how much energy people exert to get her to compromise. That's what we need after Bush -- a president who says and does everything she says. God, that would be such a relief.

Barack Obama’s Impressive Team
In announcing his presidential exploratory committee today, Sen. Barack Obama said he will not make a final decision on whether or not to run for president until February 10. Whether or not he’s officially in the race for the 2008 Democratic nomination, the Illinois senator already has recruited an impressive group to run his national effort.

Robert Gibbs: Gibbs, a longtime communications operative with a special focus on the Senate, has been with Obama since shortly after his 2004 primary victory. Prior to that Gibbs served as a spokesman for Sen. John Kerry’s (D-Mass.) presidential bid. Gibbs, like Plouffe, has experience in the nitty-gritty of Democratic politics, having served as the communications director at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and as campaign spokesman for Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-S.C.) in 1998. He will be the campaign’s communications director.

A member of the leadership who was also the spokesman for the group was Robert Gibbs, now a spokesman for Barack Obama. Gibbs not only embraced the ad, he helped make it happen. And now, he's speaking for a candidate who also has no military or foreign policy experience. Obama clearly dipped into the slimiest corners of DC to pluck out Gibbs, didn't he? So why do they scream like little girls because Hillary put out an ad stating she's the best choice for CiC?
