There are primaries this Tuesday in Oregon and Kentucky. A big win in Oregon should give Obama more than half of the pledged delegates. So.... Obama has elected to celebrate with the ones who brung 'im, "Obama to Return to Iowa, Possibly to Claim Victory." (NY Times)
An overwhelming victory in Oregon for Obama is definitely in the air as "75,000 Attend Obama Rally in Portland." on Sunday. (MSNBC Firstread) Obama's biggest rally of the campaign to date.
It was Obama's Iowa caucus win over John Edwards and Hillary Clinton that breathed life and viability into his historic quest to become the Democratic candidate for president.
Against the odds of a scorched-earth Clinton political machine, the sniping of a terrified GOP preferring to run against a high-negatives Hillary, the lingering whiff of racial bias, the high-octane destructive rants of Obama's former pastor Rev. Wright.... even the conniving of Limbaugh dittoheads voting for Hillary Clinton in Operation Chaos...
Against all of these odds it seems an almost certainty that Obama will become not only the first African American candidate for the presidency, but has a better than 50-50 chance of becoming the first African American president of the United States.
On Tuesday Obama will revisit Iowa where his feet were firmly planted on the path to the White House.... 95 percent white Iowa, with politically-educated caucus-goers who listened and were energized by his politics of hope, inclusion and change.
Iowa, a swing state in November, won't forget Obama now. His second beginning starts Tuesday in Iowa.... the pledged-delegate benchmark heralding the beginning of Obama's national campaign. It's fitting that Obama.... Iowa's "favorite son".... touches home.
Thoughts from someone who remembers when we respected our president and enjoyed the esteem of the world; when our airwaves weren't polluted by rancid, hate-filled diatribes of reckless talking heads; when our Senators and Representatives legislated first for the good of the nation and not special interest agendas; when religion was spiritual, not political; and, the rights of women were respected, not constantly under attack by political panderers. We can do better.

Limbaugh's Ditto-Duds
Conservative ditto-cult leader Rush Limbaugh likes to call himself a great American.
Who is he kidding?
In order to massage his massive ego, Limbaugh urged his GOP ditto-head listeners to once again cross-over vote for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. This time in the Indiana and North Carolina primaries Tuesday in order to "bloody up Obama politically" and prolong the Democratic fight.
The right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy, countless thousands have fought and died for this precious right.... and Limbaugh thinks perverting of this process through "Operation Chaos" is high excitement as he scrabbles for ratings.
Today Alex MacGillis and Peter Slevin of the Washington Post ask, "Did Rush Limbaugh Tilt Result in Indiana?"
Barack Obama lost to Hillary Clinton in Indiana by just 14,000 votes out of the hundreds of thousands cast. Exit polling identified ten percent of the voters as Republicans, with 8 in ten of them voting for Clinton although they said they would vote for GOP candidate John McCain in the general election.
Yesterday Limbaugh crowed all day about the success of "Operation Chaos" with on-air testimonials from his ditto-heads who recounted their glee in casting a Chaos vote for Clinton.
Most disturbing isn't Limbaugh's usual vapid squawking, most disturbing are the Americans willing to take their marching orders from such a shallow narcissistic vessel in order to undermine our democratic process.
Maybe Limbaugh and his ditto-duds should take a walk around a military cemetery, or visit a Revolutionary War memorial.... but then again maybe not.
They might find the gravestones the perfect place to scribble graffiti, or the memorial grounds a great place for pro-Clinton billboards.... ha, ha, ha. Ain't they got fun.
