I thought it was pretty funny too.

winning it is a stretch, but doing well there is the key.  He has so many votes in Philly, MontCo, DelCo., and Chester that he just needs to come close elsewhere.  

Early on in Obama's candidacy, I was one of those dismissive of it largely because Obama is not "black enough". But as he started winning and became the front runner, gradually I realized that if he were "really" black, like Jessie Jackson for example, he wouldn't stand a chance.

Obama is truly multicultural, straddling white and black culture. That's, I think, what makes him attractive to both blacks and whites. I find the way he presents his life story authentic (not that I've read either of his books).

The Clintons represent the Republican wing of the Democratic party.

North,

Black folks are like Box of Chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

Obama does look like his white grandfather. His oldest daughter looks like his Kenyan grandmother.

I honestly think that they play off her Republican roots as a kind of schtick to prove how non-ideological he is.  It plays in the district.

PA is a closed primary state...so she needs to switch for the primary.  She can vote for anyone she wants after the primary regardless of what her registration says, but she has to switch now to make sure Obama is the nominee if she wants to vote for him in the general as an Obamacan.

I'm pretty sure she votes Dem for her congressperson anyway, regardless of her chosen voter registration.  :)

In a not so glowing article in The Sunday Times, UK,

Rapid rise of Hillary's fortune Congressman Patrick Murphy is quoted:

It's a must read... Air Force Two?

Excerpts

THE meteoric rise of the Clintons to the ranks of America's wealthiest families has presented a challenge to Hillary Clinton's presidential ambitions at a critical stage in the battle for the Democratic nomination.

[.]

The former president reeled in at least $12.6m - and a possible further $2.7m last year - from a business partnership with his friend Ron Burkle, the supermarket magnate and financier. Bill Clinton has his own room in Burkle's mansion in Los Angeles and travels so frequently on Burkle's private jet that he jokingly calls it Air Force Two.

[.]

The Clinton campaign claimed that more than $10m of the earnings had been donated to charity, but the huge sum still raises more questions than it answers.

The bulk of the cash went to the Clinton Family Foundation and served as a tax write-off. The foundation has distributed only half its money - and most of that was after Hillary Clinton began running for president last year.

ED:another whopper

Clinton told a convention of Democrats in North Dakota when her tax forms were made public: "Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against rich people. As a matter of fact my husband, much to my surprise and his, has made a lot of money since he left the White House by doing what he loves most - talking to people."

[.]

Defeat in the Pennsylvania primary would administer a seismic shock to Clinton's campaign and send superdelegates - the party leaders who hold the casting vote at the Democratic national convention this summer - racing to crown Obama as the victor.

"If she loses, the race is over," said Tad Devine, a senior Democratic strategist.

Congressman Patrick Murphy, an Iraq war veteran and chairman of Obama's campaign in Pennsylvania, said a narrow loss to Clinton would count as a victory: If he keeps her lead down to single digits, it's a win, given that the Clinton people have proudly told people they will win by 20 points."

(highlights added)

Yeah Hillary is surprised.

Imho, HRC campaign will find it difficult going forward to fund raise. The couple, as the article notes, is now among the 14,500 richest families in the country.

Truly from rags to riches, selling influence.

A business with a brand. No business expenses to meet. No inventory, - the product is sleaze.

Need to shower anyone?  I do.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

I don't see bigotry from Woods.  I do see what was common in Ohio, she can talk Blue Collar, she just doesn't deliver.

Remember the Regan Democrats (and also those who voted for Bush), it's the same problem.  She seems like you could hang at the local bar and pound back a couple of beers or maybe do some shots. You can't do this with her, but she can give off that "thing" that makes you think it's possible, that she understands where you're coming from.

Obama speaks like he's educated and when he speaks to some blue collar, it comes across as be-littling even when it's not.  My dad talks about how he'll vote for McCain because he's a "guys guy," "Just can't help but like this guy.  He's someone you can trust because he gets it."  I'm still working on Dad, but McCain does have this "thing" that I can't even begin to name and it's a draw to a number of blue collar types.

...because the unions make us strong.

Are you kidding? If Obama says anything concrete, Hillary and her henchmen will crucify him. I think that everyone understands that Obama has to deal in platitudes until the Clintons drop out of the picture.

The Clintons represent the Republican wing of the Democratic party.

At first I thought you were talking about how skinny he's gotten.

Meat on the bones....  I think he's getting as specific as he reasonably can; his website delves into more specifics.
