Do Dems really want to marry a Rock-Star?

Four major articles published in the British
press over the last couple days support an assessment
that Barack Obama is very disposable in the view of
Wall Street’s senior partners in the City of London, who have
heretofore uncritically promoted him as a Clinton-stopper.

* The Times Online 2/25: “Barack Obama embarrassed by
billionaire link to home deal … Exclusive: British-Iraqi
billionaire lent millions of dollars to Barack Obama’s fundraiser
just weeks before an imprudent land deal.” The story raises the
question of whether an earlier $3.5 million loan from Nadhmi
Auchi to Antoin Rezko in May 2005, “made it possible for the
Obamas to purchase a mansion they could otherwise not afford.”

* Sunday Observer 2/24: “The week the Obama backlash
started,” says that “a media backlash is now showing clear signs
of gathering pace,” and that “All over America, reporting teams
are now investigating Obama’s record.”

* Sunday Telegraph 2/24: “Barack Obama criticised over
‘cult-like’ rallies,” comparing Obama’s political rallies to “the
hysteria of a cult, or the fervour of a religious revival.”

* The Times 2/25: “America starts to sober up from a heavy
dose of Obamamania.”

Note also that a hapless Texas state Senator who had endorsed Obama was asked by Chris Matthews
to name Obama’s achievements–and could not come up with one. (The video is quite popular on You Tube.)
And a week or so back the same Matthews was gushing with Obama-mania.

The crash-and-burn on this is apt go quickly. Dems might not want to get married to a rock star.

When Dean threatened to take the delegates if the primaries were moved
he first had that at 50%, later they amended to 100%. In the meantime, the
Republican controlled Legislators dangled carrots, in the one hand they held
paper trail ballot legislation and in the other hand they held homestead exemptions.
They then had this all tied into the same vote to move the primary. How were they
to tell voters they voted against these two items just to keep the primary in Feb?
The Republican Governor signed the new date into law. Dean and the DNC said
the Fla Democrats didn’t try hard enough, as if it were a simple task to get Republicans
to work with you! The RNC took delegates away as well, but, they only took
50% and let the candidates campaign.

So, another question is would the Republicans risk a tougher fight in the general election just to get Hillary out?

Do they want to lose the battle or the war? If anything, it seems McCain is going after Obama more than Hillary. Is that in preparation for the general election or is he trying to, and dare I say it, help Hillary?

Just food for thought….
Take care!

In a system like that Hillary could be put in office in short order if Obama made it and then truly was in as far over his head as her voters are convinced of. I don’t know, after BUSHCO there’s just something negative to me in the thought of getting someone in for four years and then having to keep them there no matter how poorly they perform.
