I am continually amused by the folks who bash the UN. These people are apparently unaware of the fact our country, the good old US of A, was the key designing nation of the United Nations. It’s not like this is some arbitrary world power which will undercut American interests at every turn with no compromise. Hell, America still gets a free pass most of the time at the UN, as well as China and Russia.

Anyway, David Plouffe and David Axelrod are really bright guys, and I thank Howard Dean for laying the tracks for this campaign style. Most of the people in America are Democratic, and the majority of Americans would benefit by Democratic rule. The Republican bogeyman machine is going down. This is going to erase Red Stains on our great nation.

Another troll in our midst…mike112769. They’re coming out of the woodwork.

Mike, here’s one of the ways that you immediately identify yourself. Kissing up to the U.N.?

The U.N. is the United Nations Mike. NO!

I think you mean AIPAC mike, and there is a WORLD of difference between AIPAC and the UN.

The UN is probably the only body that might save us from the ravages of AIPAC, but that isn’t likely to happen.

Obama is the worst thing that could have happened to the Democratic party. “Change” without specifics sounds a bit ominous to me. What kind of change? In reality, Hillary stood a MUCH better chance of beating McCain, but the delegates said “no”. I will not vote for Obama or McCain. Hillary MIGHT have gotten my vote, but they definitely won’t. I see a 3rd party candidate, or Mickey Mouse, having an excellent run this time. Sadly though, McCain will most probably be our next President. If Obama wasn’t kissing up to the U.N. so badly, he might do better. It seems to me he wants to let them take over!

This brought a chuckle JPS:

“...Actually, maybe he is the Manchurian candidate…a real Democrat would surrender the whole middle and south of the country without a fight and hope for an Ohio/Florida win…”

You’re right. That’s what a ‘real’ democrat would do.

And so it is less noble because there is an element of forcing McCain’s hand?

I realize that Democrats aren’t used to it anymore, but this is what you call strategy.  He doesn’t have to win every state, and he won’t win some.  But every time he forces McCain to even think about a state that should be automatically red, he wins.

It’s offensive and defensive at the same time: if McCain has to defend, he has less time/energy/money to attack safe, blue states.  The man is playing to his strengths, laid a groundwork, and he has a solid plan.

Dems should be dancing in the streets as they finally have a candidate who knows what he’s doing. 

Actually, maybe he is the Manchurian candidate…a real Democrat would surrender the whole middle and south of the country without a fight and hope for an Ohio/Florida win.
