RE: Obama Must-Wins
The media has anointed Barack Obama the presumptive nominee and he’s playing the part.
With an eleven state winning streak coming out of February, Senator Obama is riding a surge of momentum that has enabled him to pour unprecedented resources into Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont.
The Obama campaign and its allies are outspending us two to one in paid media and have sent more staff into the March 4 states. In fact, when all is totaled, Senator Obama and his allies have outspent Senator Clinton by a margin of $18.4 million to $9.2 million on advertising in the four states that are voting next Tuesday.
Senator Obama has campaigned hard in these states. He has spent time meeting editorial boards, courting endorsers, holding rallies, and - of course - making speeches.
If he cannot win all of these states with all this effort, there’s a problem.
Should Senator Obama fail to score decisive victories with all of the resources and effort he is bringing to bear, the message will be clear:
Democrats, the majority of whom have favored Hillary in the primary contests held to date, have their doubts about Senator Obama and are having second thoughts about him as a prospective standard-bearer.

LBJ v. Goldwater countdown ad? You remember the one. The little girl picking off daisy pedals, cutting to a countdown of an intercontinental ballistic missile launch. Ironically, that ad suggested Goldwater was too hawkish. This latest version suggests Obama is too soft.

Second thoughts? Thinking of the coming election, if Obama is the democratic candidate, there is great danger and an expectation of the possibilities. Accordingly, this nation, in my opinion, will never live out the true meaning of it’s declared intentions. Even those who wrote the Constitution of the United States of America, were dishonest, while lacking in integrity and moral rightness. Each generation brings forth a more deeply troubled crowd whose sole purpose seems to be the continuance of a system of government that see it’s citizenry as merely servants of its elite at whatever level of government or the general society they exist in. It is no longer “We the People” it is them, the rich. (Will a poor man do the bidding of the rich? History provides a clear record.) It doesn’t have to be so.

If this ad doesn’t wake Democrats up to vote for Clinton, be prepared to see ads like this one for McCain and watch Obama lose because he has no national security experience.

I am a parent and I am appalled that Clinton, someone who has decried the “politics of fear” has adopted Bush’s tactics, appealling to the most mortal instincts–the same tactic that fueled the support of the Iraq war, which ironically is costing billions of dollars per month while we’re preparing to spend $4/gallon for gas and yet not a single weapon of mass destruction has been found or an iota of domestic security achieved. Really, my confidence in the Clintons (and I had been a super Bill supporter since 1992 when I couldn’t even vote yet and drove an hour in the pouring rain to my registered polling place to vote for him in 1996) and their integrity is nonexistent. If a campaign has disintegrated to the point where these types of tactics are necessary, the campaign is already in critical trouble and it’s safe to assume that Clinton simply doesn’t have the support necessary to lead. Hereafter, it is entirely safe to assume that the Clintons, like the Bushes, will do whatever and sacrifice whomever necessary to achieve their self-motivated ambitions. Hmmm, seems this is how we got to Iraq in the first place.

Hillary Clinton does not have National Security experience and the middle east will not respect her as our Commander in Chief. Therefore, this fear tactic should be toward Clinton not Obama.

I just wanted to share a interesting video that I found in youtube about Obama. —– http://www.giovannidenegri.com ——-

Another of Mark Penn’s winning ideas? Campaign head Penn is with heavyweight DC pr firm Burson-Marseller. Other fine work by Penn’s firm includes positive pr campaigning for the Bhopal disaster and helping Exxon deny global warming. Doesn’t seem like good judgment from Sen. Clinton to hire Penn.
