and others of us patriotic - are so jazzed by last night's convention events is that, as Pat Buchanan said on MSDNC, "WE NOW HAVE ONE OF OUR OWN UP THERE."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Plus: those in-Obama's-face speeches by Mitt, Rudy and Sarah were DEEPLY PARTISAN, ATTACKING OBAMA/BASIC LIBERAL PREMISES, AND DEFENDING CONSERVATIVE VALUES.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Its about time.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(2) As presented here one week ago...As we enjoy Sarah Palin, be aware of one great irony: IT IS OBAMA HIMSELF (by failing to choose Hillary) WHO MADE SARAH PALIN POSSIBLE. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OBAMA PICKED SARAH PALIN - and now is threatened by his own hand.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(3) The left-wing media (i.e. all of it but talk radio) have declared all-out Nuclear War on the Repubs and McCain ticket. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THERE ARE NO MORE RULES OF MEDIA ENGAGEMENT: THE NEW STANDARD OF JOURNALISM IS DEVOID OF OBJECTIVITY...THE NEW NEWS STANDARD IS MSNBC (i.e. no standard).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Excelsior!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-826327767573338673?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/826327767573338673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=826327767573338673' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/826327767573338673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/826327767573338673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/09/three-factors-that-matter.html' title='THREE FACTORS THAT MATTER'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-6642153606962502344</id><published>2008-09-04T11:48:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-04T12:00:47.705-04:00</updated><title type='text'>SARAH OR MITT?.</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;JAYLE NEWS.....THURSDAY p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's one thing about Sarah Palin I don't like so much.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And, if you are a Mitt Romney fan, as I am, you won't like it either.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It kills me to think this, let alone have to talk about it, but here it is:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;With the overnight emergence of Sarah Palin as a conservative darling, who is now likely to be the favorite for the next Republican nomination, Mitt or Sarah?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consider: if McCain wins, Sarah Palin is Vice President, for one or two terms.

(Ready to know the future?) Create and sustain such negative media chaos surrounding Sarah Palin that Obama/Dems can change message to: "Palin has become such a major negative distraction from the issues and this important campaign that for the good of the country and her party she ought to withdraw, or McCain must ask her to step down from ticket."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PREDICTION: OBAMA CAMPAIGN/DEMS WILL USE AS REASON THAT PALIN SHOULD WITHDRAW THE CHARACTER ASSASINATION AND MEDIA DISTRACTION THEY THEMSELVES CHOREOGRAPHED, EXACTLY TO THIS PURPOSE...AND "JOURNALISTS" (rhymes with "whores") WILL CEASELESSLY PRINT AND BROADCAST THE EXTORTION NOTE.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-1148209535735441406?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/1148209535735441406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=1148209535735441406' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/1148209535735441406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/1148209535735441406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-dems-are-doingnext.html' title='WHAT THE DEMS ARE DOING/NEXT'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-2932907868141889302</id><published>2008-09-03T11:20:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-03T11:35:04.354-04:00</updated><title type='text'>MSNBC EMPLOYS NAZI SYMPATHIZER?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;JAYLY NEWS.....Wednesday 11:30a&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There has never, Never, in the history of American politics, been a national smear campaign like that now being run against Governor Sarah Palin by the Barack Obama campaign and others of the American Communist Movement.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The latest and most appalling form this has taken is the assertion by the Obama campaign that "Sarah Pain supported a Nazi Sympathizer".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The "Nazi Sympathizer" in question is, evidently, political icon/two-time candidate for President of the United States/author/journalist Patrick J.

SIZE MATTERS.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In 40 years, no Dem has emerged from his convention with a Poll Bounce smaller than 16 points (and as high as 30).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama's, at 8, is half the smallest-ever...hence Obama has set a modern record for post-convention bounce, DOWNWARD.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. NOT LIBERAL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The most recent reputable national polling on the fundamental political attitudes of American voters asks them "Do you consider yourself Somewhat or Very Liberal, Somewhat or Very Conservative, or Moderate?"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Result: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Moderate" 2%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Liberal" 34%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Conservative" 62%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;U.S. VOTERS, SELF-DESCRIBED "CONSERVATIVE" BY 2-1.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(This is why the Dem argument "more people are registering as Dems than as Repubs" is virtually insignificant.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Excelsior!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-84348337391796548?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/84348337391796548/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=84348337391796548' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/84348337391796548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/84348337391796548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/09/campaign-by-numbers.html' title='CAMPAIGN BY THE NUMBERS'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-2227290728854936942</id><published>2008-09-01T15:18:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-01T15:24:31.045-04:00</updated><title type='text'>FOUR CANDIDATES AND A BABY</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;JAYLY NEWS....Labor (unions are the mafia) Day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Palin Baby News will not hurt McCain ticket -

MEDIA:  Is there really anything TV, esp Cable TV, loves More, esp on a low-viewership holiday weekend, than the prospect of  extraordinary WEATHER?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KILLER STORMS? KATRINA II!!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lucy Liu just out of the shower doesn't look as good to me as that swirling hurricane eye graphic does to MSNBC.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And, as is so often the case, this one appears a Bust.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So far (as of Monday morning) it is - HOLD ON -----&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WINDY AND RAINY IN NEW ORLEANS!!! YIKES!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The coverage - esp on MSNBC - is ludicrous: Anchor David Shuster (to reporter on scene) "Are you seeing any debris?" "YES! I SEE SOME GARBAGE CANS BLOWING INTO THE STREET! AND A PIECE OF CLOTH RIPPED OFF A SIGN!!!! (This dialogue actually occurred 8:30a Monday)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is hilarious watching cable - esp MSNBC - struggle to make a rainy day into A KILLER HURRICANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Dems v Repubs:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Orleans is totally evacuated and organized chiefly because a REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR is in (competent) charge this time, as opposed to  Democrat BOO-HOO BLANCO.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Idiot Mayor Ray Nagin (who was all over Ntl TV predicting a "Category Five Storm of the Century") has someone to follow, as he is incapable of leading anything. If this imbecile had evacuated his citizens last time, he would have saved thousands of lives----and NOBODY IS HOLDING HIM THE LEAST BIT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, not even a mention.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mayor Nagin's warning, flashed around the world (I heard it on BBC from London) included the statesman-like admonition to New Orleans' residents that they "GET THEIR BUTTS OUT OF HERE".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This, I know, is cute, down-home, "keeping it real" to some.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To civilized persons, such language by a public official under these circumstances is compelling evidence of the degradation of American politics in general, and the fact Ray "Duh" Nagin is an ill-bred moron in particular.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Repub Convention&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By greatly curtailing convention activities Monday, the Repubs will score points for demonstrating respectful deference to prospective "Victims of Gustav" (i.e. several people will get wet shoes)....and deftly get out of having Bush &amp;amp; Cheney appear at/associated with the convention and the McCain ticket - the one thing Dems most needed to have come out of Minnea-noplace.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.

I mean when like watching a car wreck. Like you can't believe what you've just seen.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Such was the case last evening (Friday Aug 29) when on MSNBC Chris Matthews gave Olberman a real run for the Joe McCarthy/Howard Beal award by becoming literally apoplectic at the news of Sarah Palin.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viewers must earnestly have thought Matthews was almost surely suffering a stroke: his eyes were poppping out of his fat head, his face was not just red but impurpled, spittle was forming in the corners of his mouth, and there wasn't a trace of irony or humor in his vindictive tirade. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I mean, I know Matthews has just said "to hell with my critics" (for admitting to his being totally in the bag for Obama)...but Chris Matthews acted like a crazy man.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Then it got worse (i.e. Really Good). &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After wildly screeching his objections to Sarah Palins resume, John McCain's nefarious motives and the general evilness of Republicans, Matthews spewed at his GUEST AND COLLEAGUE (and a man superior to Matthews in terms of intellect, expertise, poliical knowledge and, now obviously, breeding) Pat Buchanan the single most ugly, personal, insulting attack on another person I have ever witnessed on television. (And I am a veteran TV talking head, having made hundreds of appearances with friend and mostly foe, mostly on MSNBC.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The thesis, as it were, of Matthews' rant was "how is it POSSIBLE someone could be even CONSIDERED for high office if she had once SUPPORTED PAT BUCHANAN?!" (Full disclosure: I workred for Pat Buchanan off and on for years, including his Presidential campaigns.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matthews, glowering at an incredulous Buchanan - who could clearly see the host had vacated his faculties - said "YOU MEAN SARAH PALIN COULD BE PICKED EVEN AFTER SUPPORTING THE WORST OF PAT BUCHANAN?!" (A reference to PB's controversial and magnificent convention speech.) This to Mr. Buchanan's face - again, a day-to-day MSNBC colleague, respected author, political figure and former candidate for President of the United States.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matthews' seizure continued for the entirety of the show. When at the end Pat Buchanan asserted that Sarah Palin's pro-life postion would be a political asset in many areas of the country (this issue and statement seeming to drive Matthews to a glorious new level of screaming, wild-eyed, foaming madness) the host responded like a troubled child "OH YEAH?! YOU JUST GO AND TRY THAT UP WHERE I LIVE AND SEE WHERE IT GETS YOU!"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maybe poor Chris - whom I've met, and whose work I once admired - simply cannot withstand the mental strain of being dominated and punched around like a skinny cousin on-air by the paranoid bully Olberman. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But let the record show - and the timeless video prove - that on Friday night, August 29, 7-8 p.m., with his hideously inappropriate and ugly personal attack on a colleague, Chris Matthews achieved the truly impressive: he sunk to the lowest level of any host in cable television history.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Perfect for who Chris Matthews - and MSBNC - has become.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jay Severin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/highlighttext&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/atomicelement&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-668918807187581802?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/668918807187581802/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=668918807187581802' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/668918807187581802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/668918807187581802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/08/chris-matthews-loses-it.html' title='CHRIS MATTHEWS LOSES IT'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-4611934152846386456</id><published>2008-08-29T11:15:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T11:21:58.398-04:00</updated><title type='text'>GURU JAY DOES IT AGAIN</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;JAYLY NEWS...On The Campaign&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AS PREDICTED IN THIS SPACE, AND ON THE AIR:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"The political physics of McCain's VP choice require he use it to galvanize his conservative/Republican base."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"...but I do not believe he wants to pick Mit Romney."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sara Pallin is a very risky choice.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She cannot be seriously considered qualified to be Commander-in-Chief...and thus reomves totally the Inexperience attack v.

of those days the establishment media all seem to running one story, all with the same words: How Proud We All Are That A Black Man Is A Candidate For President.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And it is true.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am proud, as we all should be. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But it also behooves me as a white citizen to be Releived - because the crimes and legacy of slavery and racism prevented until 2008 a black man or woman being seriously considered for the Presidency.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So it's about time.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meanwhile, this historic racial/cultural nature of this momentus event is in danger of papering-over a crucial fact: the USA has finally nominated a black man - BUT NOT A QUALIFIED ONE.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The day to rruly celebrate will be when a black man or woman ACTUALLY QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT is nominated.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barack Hussein Obama is not.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So celebrate, by all means.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But the fact is, Obama's is, in effect, largely a racial token candidacy.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Excelsior!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>CHOOSING MITT, NOT CHOOSING MITT</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;JAYLY NEWS...On The Campaign&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John McCain has reportedly chosen his running mate and will announce it tomorrow. It will leak today.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is it Mitt Romney?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I hope so, and if you don't want President Obama, you'd better hope so, too - because if McCain does not choose Mitt, McCain loses.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All the political physics dictate the Romney choice. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have said all along that I was not alone in my position that I will vote for McCain Only if Mitt is his running mate.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And now, confirmation of how unalone I am: internal McCain polling shows that of all people he is considering for VP, Mitt Romney attracts the most votes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In fact the polling shows a McCain ticket including Romney makes ONE OUT OF FIVE VOTERS MORE LIKELY TO VOTE FOR McCAIN - ACROSS PARTY LINES! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Nobody else scores like this.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thus there is every compelling political reason (not to mention the future of the Republican party) to pick Mitt - but most compelling of all, MITT GETS YOU ELECTED.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUT.....BUT....I don't trust &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;McCain's political judgement, and I know his political &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;loyalty is worse than non-existent.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I believe McCain is thin-skinned and hasn't forgiven Mitt for challenging him during he primary. McCain is a liberal and wants another liberal on the ticket - like Lieberman!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A big part of my instinct - and McCain's words in the past few days - discourage me in believing it is Mitt. I dearly hope I am wrong.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A bi part of me knows McCain wants to produce an 'out-of-the-box' choice - like a woman, maybe even pro-choice woman.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/atomicelement&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;:AtomicElement&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If he does, he will lose, and richly deserve to.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/:ATOMICELEMENT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;:AtomicElement&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/:ATOMICELEMENT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;P.S. In observing how Obama hurt himself by not merely failing to pick Hillary, but by being seen as treatung her disrespectfully, thus alienating/angering her suporters?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well, Mitt Romney has been all over the map and out in Denver this week - right up until last night - defending John McCain on TV and elsewhere, really putting himself on the line for McCain.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now, if McCain knows he isn't going to choose Romney, you would think he'd have a staff member place a telephone call - out of profesional courtesy and common decency - telling Mitt "hey, we appreciate what you are doing...but don't do it for us, if you know what we mean."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This way, if Mitt is not picked, at least he doesn't look bad, soldiering out there for McCain until the 11th hour, only to have someone else chosen.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thus, if it isn't Mitt, McCain will lose millions of votes for political reasons - and millions more because we Romney suporters will be offended by how Mitt was treated at the end.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That said: I am counting on John McCain's wanting to win.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That requires picking a winner, someone who gets you the win: Mitt Romney.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Excelsior!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-5489064172469302191?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/5489064172469302191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=5489064172469302191' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5489064172469302191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5489064172469302191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/08/choosing-mitt-not-choosing-mitt_28.html' title='CHOOSING MITT, NOT CHOOSING MITT'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-2041189147547464270</id><published>2008-08-28T11:12:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-28T11:12:51.433-04:00</updated><title type='text'>CHOOSING MITT, NOT CHOOSING MITT</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-2041189147547464270?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/2041189147547464270/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=2041189147547464270' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/2041189147547464270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/2041189147547464270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/08/choosing-mitt-not-choosing-mitt.html' title='CHOOSING MITT, NOT CHOOSING MITT'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-3940331305533693663</id><published>2008-08-27T12:52:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-27T13:07:30.724-04:00</updated><title type='text'>DEMS DISCONTENTED in DENVER</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;JAYLY NEWS....On The Campaign &lt;wed&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;atomicelement id="ms__id406"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/atomicelement&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pursuant to my previous post ("Dem Conv Bust"), the most significant phenomena in Denver are the Nature and sheer Volume of the VOCAL DISCONTENT among Dem Delegates, Dem Super-Delegates, Dem office-holders and Dem Strategy Big-Wigs, like James Carville.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;atomicelement id="ms__id410"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/atomicelement&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thus far, the Only universal theme of this convention is the complaint by Dems that the convention is a mess without a message.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;atomicelement id="ms__id414"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/atomicelement&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is remarkable for the facts that these Dems are complaining, complaining bitterly, complaining publicly -

and every other &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;under&lt;/span&gt;-the-radar effort to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;sabotage&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Obama&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In keeping with this agenda, Hillary's &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;speech&lt;/span&gt; as balanced: she mentioned the name &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Barack&lt;/span&gt; 2 times - balanced by 319 mentions of the personal pronouns "I" and "Me". &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hilary's style was, as usual, a tasteful, appealing hybrid of first wife PMS and Mussolini.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The media all say Hillary has "thrown her full weight behind &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Obama's&lt;/span&gt; candidacy". If that's true, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Obama&lt;/span&gt; needs the Jaws of Life right about now.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In fact, Clinton's

&lt;strong&gt;of speaking to working and middle-class voters, Dems chose to put on a fraternity show for their own committed delegates in the convention hall, i.e. whacky, communist, losers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IT DIDN'T PLAY IN PEORIA.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thins are bound to get much hotter - and the stakes much higher - as the agenda includes Hillary Clinton, tonight, and Bill Clinton tomorrow, then YoBama on Thursday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But with Repubs looming on Monday, the Dems had beetr stop squandering time hitting their target.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hint, Dems: your target ain't Michelle O'Bama fans...it is Joe O'Biden fans.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Excelsior!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That being the case, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-3309242174272740380?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/3309242174272740380/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=3309242174272740380' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/3309242174272740380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/3309242174272740380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/08/lost-first-night.html' title='DEMS LOST FIRST NIGHT'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-734865095555056386</id><published>2008-08-26T08:46:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-26T08:58:16.347-04:00</updated><title type='text'>CLINTON PSYCHO(DRAMA)</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;JAYLY NEWS...On The Campaign &lt;tuesday&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hillary Clinton still wants to be President.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The soonest she can do this is 2012.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Byt the soonest she can help make it happen is tonight.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actually, Hillary cannot do it - "it" meaning sabotage Obama - herself, openly.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On this she will rely on her fanatics.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The only question is How Much Sour Grapes is Too Much Sour Grapes?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For Hillary to be President, ever, Obama must lose, now.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But Hillary cannot, a la the felonious Rose law firm criminal billing records, have her fat fingerprnts all over it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So Hillary and Bill will use their powers in every way possible to hurt Obama's chances, help McCains.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But tonight, for Hillary herself, it will be all sweetness and loyalty and Unity.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Obama must win and we must help him" she will say...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;as she ponders the most effective way to stick the big political knife in Obama's &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;back.

From the start, and for all this time, I have called her - in private and in public - exactly what all candid people call her: a Bitch.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In fact, I cannot imagine Anybody, Clinton friend and foe alike, honestly answering the following sentence "Hillary Clinton is a real ________." with a word other than "Bitch."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For this, I - and, perhaps, you - have been universally scorned. Various national media have quoted my calling Hillary Clinton a Bitch as proof that I am neither a serious political nor media commentator, but am surely an awful human being. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, gee, imagine my delight (and absolutely zero surprise) when I read this morning the respected Roger Simon's (Politico.com) history of the Hillary Clinton Campaign. Fascinating stuff - including the news that "top Clinton campaign staffers" regularly referred to Hillary as A Bitch.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In fact, they adopted the unofficial campaign slogan "maybe she's a bitch because she's so competent!" True story.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gotta go now - running out to buy the Boston Globe (et. al.), read my e-mail from NPR (et. al.), so I can see their apologies...and of course their stories damning the Top Clinton Staffers, her closest day-to-day associates, for regularly calling Hillary, as I always have, and do, A Bitch.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Schweet Vindication!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's so fun being right.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Excelsior!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br

Wicked good campaigner. Good personal story. Second-best (next to H Clinton) choice for Yo-Bama - but a very strong one. Would be a strong Vice President.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Down Side: BY CHOOSING BIDEN (for his foreign policy experience), OBAMA HAS JUST VALIDATED THAT HE IS UNQUALIFIED HIMSELF TO BE PRESIDENT (i.e. "I don't know foreign policy, so I have hired a consultant who does.").&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SORRY - ONE DOES NOT, CAN NOT, DELEGATE THE JOB OF COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF----WE VOTE FOR A PRESIDENT, NOT HIS CONSULTANT.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;P.S. Joe Biden stood next to Yo-Bama just weeks ago and said "I stand by my statement that Obama is not ready to be President of the United States."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ALSO: To Yo-Bama's left-wing and younger (i.e. most rabid) core supporters, Joe Biden - 30 years an establishment politician in Wash DC - IS THE OPPOSITE OF "CHANGE".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Media, of course, will extend to Biden the customary non-adversarial fellatio...BUT BIDEN (his record, his statements while campaigning v. Obama, his soon-to-be-many-more gaffes) WILL GIVE MCcAIN PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO ATTACK THE DEM TICKET.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As afforementioned, I am disappointed Biden is the choice, because he is a good candidate who will help Yo-Bama more than hurt him.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ALL THE MORE REASON NOW McCAIN MUST CHOOSE MITT ROMNEY.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More coming....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JTS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-5957362024703042327?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/5957362024703042327/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=5957362024703042327' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5957362024703042327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5957362024703042327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/08/biden-bottom-line.html' title='BIDEN BOTTOM LINE'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-8055726786571559221</id><published>2008-08-22T18:42:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T18:55:48.276-04:00</updated><title type='text'>OBAMA VP WATCH FRIDAY P.M.</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;On the Campaign...&lt;friday&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Okay - as presumably we shall know tomorrow &lt;saturday&gt; morning the identity of Yo-Bama's VP pick, here's a presumably final thought on the matter of the moment:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To reiterate: Were I advising  Yo-Bama THERE IS NO QUESTION THE BEST CHOICE IS HILLARY CLINTON. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In my professional opinion, choosing Hillary blows the campaign open for Yo-Bama and leaves McCain in the dust.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I appreciate - better than most - the profound downsides of a Clinton(s) as an actual Vice President.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But as a CANDIDATE, she surpasses everybody in the potential to help elect Obama, Period.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, as I say, I am virtually alone in believing this. So say it isn't Hillary...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Then it must be Biden.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Or not.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In any case, here's the wild (i.e. brilliant) guess that motivates my perhaps final blog for this, my final summer vacation day of 2008:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My guess is this: if Yo-Bama breaks his VP story tonight, I predict One Television Network will scoop all the others.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I predict if the story breaks tonight, NBC News (and/or MSNBC) will first breal the story.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Know why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If Yo-Obama is waiting for Friday night - normally the death valley of the weekly news cycle (given the choice, one announces only one's indictment on a Friday evening, as nobody is watching) - it is because of the OLYPMICS.....as in a huge Friday night, late August, vacation, stay-at-home, TV audience.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is only One Thing we we will be watching: THE OLYMPICS.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thus: my theory is that if the story breaks tonight, NBC will first have it....BECAUSE OBAMA CUT A DEAL WITH THEM TO HAVE IT FIRST, TO REACH THEIR HUGE OLYMPICS TV AUDIENCE.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Am I nuts?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quite possibly.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But - if NBC first has this YoBama VP story - PLEASE RECALL WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check in tomorrow morning, and throughout the weekend will you?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Excelsior!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-8055726786571559221?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/8055726786571559221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=8055726786571559221' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/8055726786571559221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/8055726786571559221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/08/obama-vp-watch-friday-pm.html' title='OBAMA VP WATCH FRIDAY P.M.'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-822724497984178312</id><published>2008-08-22T14:12:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T14:28:03.328-04:00</updated><title type='text'>WAITING FOR BARACK GODOT</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;On the Campaign...&lt;friday&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As we wait on Yo-Bama to announce his #2, two late names have suddenly been floated: Conggressman Chet Baker of Texas, and former General Wesley Clark.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On Clark, I'd say No. He Does offer military credentials - a form of foreign policy credentials...but not the same thing and, being military in nature, not wildy popular&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;among the radical left-wing base of Yo-Bama's party. Also: Clark is not a practiced politician, and has demonstrated a propensity for impolitic and just plain stupid remarks. Clark is not a crazy pick....but I am guessing he's not it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As for Congressman Baker....Very Interesting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The obvious response to him is WHO?! ------but wait: Baker is Nancy (aka "Bella" Pelosi's favorite. She recently named him on national TV, actually saying she 'Hoped he'd be the VP nominee".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So what?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's what: remember how Obama clinched the Dem race when he was fighting tooth and nail with Hillary? When he seemed like he was sinking? What saved him? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer: the perfectly-timed, leaked announcements by Dem SuperDelagates that they were going with Obama. That saved his bacon.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And who controls the Dem SuperDelagates?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes, Bella Pelosi.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, what Peolsi wants - VP wise - Pelosi gets?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not a lock...but why else would she go out in front on national TV with Baker's name - a total unknown?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Was the (i.e. her) VP fix in the moment Pelosi swung the Supers for Obama?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maybe, maybe not.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But again, I am going to guess No.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I don't think even the heavy hand of Pelosi/Dem party leaders can persuade Obama he can win with an unknown - even if he might carry elector-rich Texas.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The smartest best for Yo-Bama remains Hillary, though I know I am alone on that one.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The next-smartest is Joe Biden.

THE "DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW" POSITION ENJOYS MASSIVE SUPPORT AMONG VOTERS AND IT WAS HURTING YOBAMA.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AND THAT IS THE STORY OF THIS PAST WEEK: THE FIRST WEEK YOBAMA HAS LOST, McCAIN WON, AND YOBAMA WAS FORCED TO FLIP-FLOP TO STOP THE BLEEDING. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IF McCAIN IS ABLE (AD HE MAY NOT BE) TO PUT TOGETHER A FEW MORE WEEKS LIKE THE LAST ONE, FORCING YOBAMA INTO A FEW MORE KEY RETREATS...AND McCAIN WILL BE IN THIS RACE.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WATCH FOR MORE AGGRESIVE LANGUAGE AND ATTACKS FROM BOTH CANDIDATES THIS WEEK.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IT WILL CERTAINLY MAKE FOR GREAT RADIO (i.e. 3-7p, weekdays, WTKK 96.9 FM).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-306744356344747992?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/306744356344747992/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=306744356344747992' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/306744356344747992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/306744356344747992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/08/will-obama-flips-lead-to-flop.html' title='WILL OBAMA FLIPS LEAD TO FLOP?'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-8486038698256622660</id><published>2008-08-01T08:12:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-01T08:31:11.472-04:00</updated><title type='text'>HOPE: McCAIN FIGHTS!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;B+B:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The current "controversial" - and "racist" - McCain campaign television commercial criticizing YObama as an international celebrity but empty suit, a bimbo, Is No Mistake.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;While nobody was paying much attention, the McCain campaign has recruited some key new players, all of whom come straight out of the Karl Rove School of Attack.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Plus: the (correct) thinking at the top of the McCain campaign is now&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;that this campaign is  REFERENDUM ON YOBAMA - nothing more, nothing less: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;McCAIN CAN WIN THIS CAMPAIGN ONLY BY DRIVING UP YOBAMA'S NEGATIVES.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thus, so long as this current McCain braintrust remains in control, expect to see a FAR MORE AGGRESSIVE TONE AND PLAN OF ATTACK.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As such, there is Hope - hope that at least 51% of American voters will learn enough about Yobama's nauseating beliefs/values/associations/inexperience&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;that he can be defeated.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;N.B. There is a prospective danger in this strategy: Undecided Voters (moderate Repubs, Independents) are put-off by the fear of being called, or associated with, a "racist"...this is why the Obama campaign will respond to every criticism with charges that McCain is Playing The Race Card. Of course it is Yobama who has played the Race Card since day one - but the media whores, playing Monica Lewinsky to Yobama's Clinton will continue to validate anything Yobama claims. Bottom line: McCAIN MUST ATTACK, BUT BE CAREFUL TO DODGE THE "RACISM" CHARGE - lest he alienate the swing voters he needs to win. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;McCAIN CANNOT WIN THIS RACE - BUT McCAIN CAN STILL CAUSE YOBAMA TO LOSE IT.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TORA!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TORA!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TORA!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(and I do not mean the Hebrew good book.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-8486038698256622660?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/8486038698256622660/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=8486038698256622660' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/8486038698256622660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/8486038698256622660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/08/hope-mccain-fights.html' title='HOPE: McCAIN FIGHTS!'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-2016440581206106673</id><published>2008-07-31T09:07:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-31T09:22:16.691-04:00</updated><title type='text'>0-BAMA'S HILLARY SURPRISE?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;B+B:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Okay, color me cynical, but...I, too Have A Dream. A Nightmare.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YObama sees his invincibility slipping, McCain rising.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He continues to totally ignore Hillary Clinton and, as a result, the entire media ignores her to. She can't get arrested, a ghost.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finally, we hear YObama asks Clinton to speak at the 2nd night of the Dem Convention, and the media - today - jumps all over this as a signal she will Not be his running mate (VPs never speak 2nd night). No, she is speaking to commemorate the anniversary of women's sufferage.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I don't believe it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Considering the nature and magnitude of the anger and alienation Obama is causing among women who support Clinton by his treatment of Hillary (i.e. treating her like a dead person), he must do Something to mollify them, right?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I BELIEVE THERE IS A STRONG CHANCE THAT HILLARY HAS ALREADY AGREED TO BE YOBAMA'S RUNNING MATE----AND THAT YOBAMA WILL DROP A BLOCKBUSTER ANNOUNCEMENT, BLOWING McCAIN'S CAMPAIGN OUT OF THE WATER (and it would).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I know, I know, an unlikely scenario.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, still...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have yet to see the stake through Mrs. Clinton's political heart.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is not dead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It stakes the earth, undead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It needs fresh blood. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;McCain's.

Excellent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relieved because you and I and my family and yours and my country and the civilized world are at war with Islamic Jihadists, and my prospective President has absolutely zero experience with international relations, terrorism or military matters, Barack Hussein Obama is this week playing soldier and statesman.

Great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And while nobody - not even journalists - would even pretend to buy the notion that a raw rookie - who, 2 years ago, was still fixing local Chicago parking tickets - should operate on their child, defend their life in court, or command the world's greatest miliary power...they are trying to sell you that, exactly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who would, could - never mind should - accept that someone utterly devoid of experience for the world's most demanding job should suddenly qualify by virtue of a six day foreign junket, an obvious media circus?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Answer: Obama and his getaway drivers, the establishment news media, are absolutely confident You will but this radical shiite. They are selling it to us, right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Hussein Obama, military and foreign policy moron and left wing puppet - and racist - gets on an airplane, visits some hot zones, shales some hands, a few photo ops, and returns one week later qualified to be President? In what fairy tale? In the headlines and editorials of the Boston Globe, New York Times, CBS News, et. al., that's where.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not in your dreams, but our collective national nightmare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are witnessing Instant World Leader - the wildest phenomenon since Shake N' Bake, the Big Mac and Hamburger Helper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leave the airport a military and foreign policy ignoramous - return one week later a cross between Henry Kissenger and General Patton, ready to lead!

Notably, both are states (a) where Clinton beat him badly (b) that McCain cannot win without.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the worst possible news for McCain (not to mention Republicans). White working class voters - the crown jewel of '08 swing voter groups - abandoned Obama in the Democrat primaries, but appear here in the early moments of the two-candidate field to be gravitating toward him. He can't win without them, and neither can McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any discussion of this race begins and ends with that Electoral Map, which for one candidate will cobble together at least 270 votes. The traditional map - by which we calculated and decided the last several presidencies - favors McCain; but Demography is Destiny: if the movement to Obama of these and other of Hillary Clinton's base voters is real and continues, Obama will re-write and dominate that map, and will become President of the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I had better news.&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JTS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-5892721540362225581?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/5892721540362225581/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=5892721540362225581' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5892721540362225581'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5892721540362225581'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/06/great-news-for-obama.html' title='GREAT NEWS FOR OBAMA'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-3275814356635052970</id><published>2008-06-04T16:35:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T17:01:03.848-04:00</updated><title type='text'>MICHELLE OBAMA'S PRINCETON THESIS ON RACIAL DIVIDE</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;B&amp;amp;B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;I told you about them, now read them for yourself. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/pdf/080222_MOPrincetonThesis_1-251.pdf"&gt;Michelle Obama's Thesis Pt. 1&lt;/a&gt;

What exactly do you mean "Obama is Unelectable"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's exactly what:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been engaged in national politics/media for 25 years. There is nothing in my experience or the primary numbers or what we know of Obama - nothing - that suggests he can win a national election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then again, The Patriots couldn't lose the Superbowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF the horrible were to happen (i.e. President Obama) Here are 10 Things that would have to occur:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The students/young voter turn out is huge, historically unprecedented.&lt;br /&gt;2. African-American voters (same as above).&lt;br /&gt;3. Conservatives, alienated by McCain, stay home on election day.&lt;br /&gt;4. McCain runs "honorable" campaign, refusing to criticize Obama's politics.&lt;br /&gt;5. The media referees the rules such that McCain is evil, Obama a saint.&lt;br /&gt;6. There is a new "electoral map", whereby a Democrat can win without white, blue collar voters.&lt;br /&gt;7. Clinton primary voters give in and turn out for Obama.&lt;br /&gt;8. Independents break big for Obama.&lt;br /&gt;9. Obama actually does pulls some Republican votes.&lt;br /&gt;10. The Libertarian Presidential Candidate (Yes, there will be one) draws a tiny number of votes...but just enough to make a difference in a close race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is, A Perfect Storm of highly unlikely, unprecedented events - nothing less than a profound, historical sea change of American culture and politics - all combining to elect Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is Unelectable.&lt;br /&gt;But the Patriots couldn't lose to the Giants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JTS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-2617493855318395315?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/2617493855318395315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=2617493855318395315' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/2617493855318395315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/2617493855318395315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/05/nightmare-scenario-obama-wins.html' title='NIGHTMARE SCENARIO: OBAMA WINS'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-4835518967786102501</id><published>2008-05-13T10:54:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-13T11:05:22.595-04:00</updated><title type='text'>"CLINTON WINS STUPID RACIST VOTE"</title><content type='html'>B+B:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's your headline for tomorrow's &lt;wednesday&gt; newspaper, and Today's TV coverage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the establishment media OF COURSE Hillary Clinton is wining in "Hee Haw" country! They're all stupid! All backwards! Own guns! Believe in God!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the fact NO DEMOCRAT HAS IN NEARLY A CENTURY WON THE PRESIDENCY WITHOUT WINNING WEST VIRGINIA, the news will be down-played, if not ignored...because these are Dumb White People.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the minds and on the lips of the media, Naturally Clinton wins West Virginia: these votes come from the Cast of "Deliverance".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way: Clinton will not win West Virginia by nearly as great a margin as Obama wins every African-American population center...just imagine if someone in the media reported made equivalent remarks (e.g. "Well, OF COURSE Obama won Detroit!

or just plain not grasped - factor in McCain's choice of VP is this: His problem is not how many EXTRA votes his runing mate might draw - it is HOW McCAIN GETS CONSERVATIVES TO VOTE FOR HIM AT ALL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conservative base of the Republican party is angry. &lt;br /&gt;Angry with McCain, angry with his liberal record on taxes, illegal immigration, free speech, judges, etc.&lt;br /&gt;Angry that their only choice on November 4th is between a Communist (the Democrat) and a Liberal (McCain).&lt;br /&gt;And, as a result, many of them - of whom I am one - will not personally vote for McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...unless McCain pickes Mitt Romney.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mitt Romney gives us a conservative on the ticket and, plausibly, in the White House in the not-distant future, maybe for 8 years.&lt;br /&gt;Mitt Romney would define, rebuild and support the Republican party - and Republican Principles.&lt;br /&gt;Mitt Romney would give us a reason to hold our noses with only one hand, and vote for McCain with the other.&lt;br /&gt;Mitt Romney would give the coservative base hope - and bring us to the polling place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John McCain can stop worrying right now about which fresh new face he can use to go out and win brand new Republican voters, and start worrying about getting Mitt Romney on the ticket...just so he can climb out of the hole in which he begins and get himself up to Zero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McCain should win this thing.&lt;br /&gt;But his biggest worry is not Obama.&lt;br /&gt;It is Me and You.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No Mitt, No Conservatives.&lt;br /&gt;No Conservatives, No President McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why it must be Mitt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JTS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-4023079856212080685?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/4023079856212080685/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=4023079856212080685' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/4023079856212080685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/4023079856212080685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/05/why-it-must-be-mitt.html' title='WHY IT MUST BE MITT'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-1944121743158263994</id><published>2008-05-12T08:47:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-12T09:09:46.627-04:00</updated><title type='text'>WHAT IS SHE REALLY UP TO?</title><content type='html'>B+B:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is Satan (Clinton -

one to which I subscribe - that Mrs. Clinton's campaign is now primarily powered, and kept even marginally serious, by tens of millions of white women supporters...who want her to stay in this on her (their) terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Refusing to be told to sit down and shut up by a bunch of older, overweight, relgious, white men named Chuck may now be Clinton's most potent campaign agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the extent her quitting soon would appear Clinton was dropping out before she felt like it, because she was being bullied by the big boys, could anger Clinton's female base and alienate them from the Obama ticket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This, I believe, explains Obama's sudden graciousness and flexibility toward Mrs. Clinton's withdrawl saying, in essence, she has earned the right to set her own timetable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Obama truly believes he has this won - and he ought to, because he does - it does not serve his purpose to appear to be rushing Mrs. Clinton, whose most ardent supporters he desperately needs to show up for him, out the door prematurely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This creates a Chick Challenge in November Obama just doesn't need and can mostly avoid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, don't expect to hear much more from the Obama campaign - at least from the candidate himself -  that "it is over for Clinton and she ought to get out".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama can now afford, and it benefits him, to appear graciously patient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JTS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-566919687175727472?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/566919687175727472/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=566919687175727472' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/566919687175727472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/566919687175727472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/05/obamas-chick-challenge.html' title='OBAMA&apos;S CHICK CHALLENGE'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-5442786161260699863</id><published>2008-05-06T22:04:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-06T22:05:03.161-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wEL'/><title type='text'>ALL HAIL GURU JAY</title><content type='html'>B+B:&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-5442786161260699863?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/5442786161260699863/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=5442786161260699863' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5442786161260699863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5442786161260699863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/05/all-hail-guru-jay.html' title='ALL HAIL GURU JAY'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-4927380523061549138</id><published>2008-05-06T21:39:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-06T22:03:52.050-04:00</updated><title type='text'>MASSIVE MEDIA MISSES</title><content type='html'>B+B:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tuesday,&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I post this, the jury is still out regarding the race in Indiana - though, as I predicted, Obama has won N Carolina Big and is close behind in Indiana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But even noe we can site two Major Media Misses this evening:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1)  Rev Wright Influenced Vote - but which way, based on Race?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MSNBC reports that nearly 50% of both black and white voters regarded Jeremiah Wright as an "important factor" in their vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But which way?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can very safely assume that, to the degree it affects their votes, whites are Negatively affected by Wright's vile remarks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But how can MSNBC assume the same about African-Americans?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just days ago, major polls showed - depressingly and outrageously - that 1/3 of black voters were More Likely to vote for Obama after hearing Rev Wright's racist remarks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, when we learn blacks and whites were greatly - and equaly - affected by Wright's hate speech, it is sloppy and wrong for MSNBC to assign to blacks and whites the same reaction for the same reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whites were affected influenced, and therein is an important lesson.&lt;br /&gt;Conversely, blacks may well have been - vis a vis prior evidence - Positively influenced by the same remarks!&lt;br /&gt;Therein, too, is a significant lesson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the most important lesson of all is that MSNBC is either (a) too stupid, or, (b) too in-the-tank for the left-wing world-view to notice or mention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(2)  Judges Order Indiana Polls Kept Open&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This evening, a judge ordered at least two urban Indiana polling places to stay open - beyond the hours and rules Indiana state law provides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The impact of this judicial fiat nearly certainly means extra votes in the inner-city (where virtually all recent vote fraud occurs, auspices of the Democrat municipal political machine monopoly)...meaning extra, after-hours African-American votes...meaning bonus Obama votes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 8:00 p.m., Clinton was leading Obama in Indiana 61-39%, a huge lead; after the judges orders to violate law and keep polling places open, Obama closed the 20 point gap in One Hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this were a Republican election, this obvious Judge-Assisted Voter Fraud would be Breaking News.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why - why? - are there no CNN cameras at these Extended-Hours Obama Vote Factories?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the Special Late Shopping Votes for Obama pour in, closing the Indiana gap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Irony of schweet ironies: the voter fraud from which the Clintons so long enjoyed a manufactured advantage, now turns on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JTS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-4927380523061549138?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/4927380523061549138/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=4927380523061549138' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/4927380523061549138'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/4927380523061549138'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/05/massive-media-misses.html' title='MASSIVE MEDIA MISSES'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-5469511926643129950</id><published>2008-05-06T11:41:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-06T11:56:20.067-04:00</updated><title type='text'>THE FAT LADY SINGS</title><content type='html'>B+B:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tuesday,&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It isn't over until the Fat Lady Sings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hear a melody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hillary Clinton will lose North Carolina today, maybe big.&lt;br /&gt;And, though she may pull out Indiana, I believe she may well lose there.&lt;br /&gt;But, even if she splits, it is over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that when Democrat voters and Delegates awaken tomorrow morning, the vast majority of them will feel they have given Clinton the chance to compete -

In order to do so, she would have to wound Obama very badly, render him unelectable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She has.&lt;br /&gt;Obama is unelectable and will lose the general election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fat Lady is Singing: her lyric is "See you in September (2009)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good riddance, Hillary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-5469511926643129950?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/5469511926643129950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=5469511926643129950' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5469511926643129950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5469511926643129950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/05/fat-lady-sings.html' title='THE FAT LADY SINGS'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-4312416472423941260</id><published>2008-05-05T11:51:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-05T12:05:08.734-04:00</updated><title type='text'>OBAMA NATIONAL POLLS HIDE WRIGHT DAMAGE</title><content type='html'>B+B:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What to make of national polls  - and the attendant wishful-thinking among all the Barack fans in the  media - that show "0-Bama bouncing back" and has thus "overcome any damage done to him by Rev Jeremiah Wright"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTHING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These polls are a measure of how Barack Hussein Obama is thought of by DEMOCRAT VOTERS ONLY - they are the ones who will first forgive and forget the Rev Wright-Obama love affair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There remains No Evidence (nor any common sense) suggesting INDEPENDENT and REPUBLICAN voters - most espceically White, Blue Collar voters in key swing states - have forgiven nor forgotten the hateful Wright and Obama's long, close embrace of Wright's twisted dogma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From here, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA REMAINS UNELECTABLE IN A GENERAL ELECTION.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shcweet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JTS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-4312416472423941260?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/4312416472423941260/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=4312416472423941260' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/4312416472423941260'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/4312416472423941260'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/05/obama-national-polls-hide-wright-damage.html' title='OBAMA NATIONAL POLLS HIDE WRIGHT DAMAGE'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-3406039891918374652</id><published>2008-05-05T08:45:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-05T09:41:13.114-04:00</updated><title type='text'>HOOSIER DADDY?</title><content type='html'>B+B:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of this gaudy Democrat Presidential Race, Monday morning and Tuesday morning sure look interesting...but will by Wednesday morning look like - and in fact be - Ancient History.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's what we do know right now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow's games - Indiana and North Carolina - are absolutely huge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The culmulative "wisdom" of the most current polls has Obama winning NC and Clinton winning Indiana by virtually equal margins of circa 5 points. If this occurs, the Dem battle is status quo ante (i.e. same old same old). Both candidates will claim victory; Hillary will hang on, fighting to the last breath/primary, weeks from now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If, however, we get a plausible surprise - Hoosier Daddy! - that is, Obama captures Indiana in addition to N Carolina, then Clinton won't have a friend in the world, most especially including Democrat Delegates, super or otherwise. The entire central rationale of her candidacy, of her political existence, is swept away in a moment. The public pressure on her to go away - delivered by the Democrat's Biggest Wigs - will be enormous, loud, and nearly universal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that case, what makes it harder for Clinton than No Math,  No Support, No Chance is that her real long-term strategy becomes nakedly obvious: to burn Obama down so McCain wins so she is the candidate in 2012. At that point, she must quit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But - wait a minute! - suppose Clinton wins the lottery tomorrow, winning both Indiana AND North Carolina?

These are the Big Issues dominating the Presidential Race Rght Now &lt;in&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you noticed that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. H Clinton's focus on THE ECONOMY (i.e. It's The Economy, Stupid -   B Clinton, circa 1992) is trumping, big time, 0-Bama's weak "HOPE" and "CHANGE" rap?        I.E. Blue collar white voters are responding greatly more - and greatly more positively - to her Bottom Line Jobs &amp;amp; Family Finances message than his amorphous, new-age babble, which launched his campaign but which is now running on empty. Obama needs a message overhaul. This Week. Now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. H Clinton is a (comparatively) Happy Warrior, to which voters always respond well. 0-Bama is behaving like an angry, sourpuss...to which voters also always respond - negatively. Hey, Barack: act like you enjoy this stuff - or you won't have to suffer it much longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. 0-Bama the "Great Unifier" has suddenly become the Great Divider - going from the man who would transcend race to the Race Candidate...which is a Loser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Any/everybody who says "Pennsylvania didn't mean that much/wasn't that much of a boost to Clinton" (i.e. 0-Bama supporters, especially the "objective" "journalists" on Sunday's Meet the "Press") are Whistling Past The Graveyard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Don't look now, but the last time 0-Bama had a victory was FEBRUARY (Wisconsin). PLus: he has failed to win ANY of the country's 10 Most Populous States (incl'd Democrat electoral college must-win venues Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, Ohio).&lt;br /&gt;This is createing an image of a candidate slip, slip, slipping away. He needs a big, significant win (i.e. WHITE VOTERS) right now. North Carolina &amp;amp; Indiana next Tuesday would do fine.&lt;br /&gt;Or cripple him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Adding to the pressure on 0-Bama to win Indiana is the fact that 1 of 4 Indiana voters live within/watch/listen to Chicago media - making this a "home game" for Obama. Lose here, and it is almost like losing in his native Illinois. And he might well lose here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Because - and only because - of this extraordinary life &amp;amp; death struggle between the two Democrats, Clinton and 0-bama are being forced to Campaign (i.e. Waste Resources) In Several States Democrats Almost Certainly Lose In The General Election!&lt;br /&gt;Were it not for the need to make tactical gains, headlines about beating each other, both Clinton and 0-Bama would surely have taken a pass on states like North Carolina, and many others, which Republicans historically own.  A crippling waste of financial and other major resources needed for a successful general election. Schweet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.  This one hurts.&lt;br /&gt;The by-product of these primaries - however otherwise harmful for the Democrat candidates and their party - is likely to be substantial gains in new registered voters and, just maybe, voter interest and general turn-out.&lt;br /&gt;Here's the consolation: IF young people and minorities actually turn out on Nov 4th to vote in anything like their numbers in the population it will be The First Time. So, chances are it, as historically usual, Won't Happen.&lt;br /&gt;Here's hoping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Watching Meet the dePRESSsed today was yet another fine example of Why The Maninstream Media So Often Get It Wrong.&lt;br /&gt;The presumably "balanced" panel included four painfully transparent Liberal Democrats, and one dot.com correspondent.&lt;br /&gt;The point-of-view expressed (and it was) was openly supportive of the Democrats, and particularly apologist for 0-Bama.&lt;br /&gt;I am here to tell you: THIS is how one gets gets to be a regular guest on network news shows, and reguarlay quoted in the national media - Be Liberal.&lt;br /&gt;(On a personal note: I am especially proud to have for 2o+ years appeared on and been frequently quoted in the most prominent national news media  - e.g. CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, PBS, Fox, MSNBC, CNBC, NPR, Boston Globe, New York Times - written op-ed, On Request! - Washington Post, Time Magazine, Newsweek,  Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, interviewed in prime time by Tom Brokaw, etc., etc....and NEVER, EVER compromised my libertarian/conservative viewpioint in order to please anyone, other than Myself and You.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. African-American political consultant, CNN analyst, former Clinton operative and Dem Super-Delagate Donna Brazille actually said on television Sunday that the reason Rev Wright is being invited to speak before black religious (and other) groups is because black clergy views criticism of his racist remarks "as an attack on the black church"...that criticizing Rev Wright for his incredibly ignorant, fantastic, hateful, racist beliefs is "hurting race relations"!&lt;br /&gt;Get that: the CRITICISM of Rev Wright is hurting race relations!&lt;br /&gt;Stupid, very public remarks like Dem Super-Delegate Brazille's is an additional factor driving a Huge Wedge between Barack (Hussein) 0-Bama and thoughtful voters white, brown, and black.&lt;br /&gt;Schweet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are ten things I know.&lt;br /&gt;They will shape American politics this week and beyond.&lt;br /&gt;Schweet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday through Friday 3-7p, The Vision Evolves!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JTS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-5702225200244000792?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/5702225200244000792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=5702225200244000792' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5702225200244000792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/5702225200244000792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/04/ten-big-political-things-i-and-hence.html' title='TEN BIG POLITICAL THINGS I (and, hence, You) KNOW'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-3539752322853856928</id><published>2008-04-27T08:52:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-04-27T18:05:49.127-04:00</updated><title type='text'>POLITICS THIS WEEK</title><content type='html'>B+B:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS WEEK: WEIGHING PENNSYLVANIA, ANTICIPATING THE NEXT ROUND.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guru Jay here, with this week's Political Template, to wit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly, The Question is not "When will she quit?" but, rather, "Why Can't Obama Close The Deal?".

The Rationale established - for Democrat Delagates to consider backing Clinton on the perceived basis that He Can't Win, She Can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either way, it is going to mean a devestating -

to say this: it is right now "too close to call"...and despite the bizarre fact polls have been closed only 9 minutes (are we accustomed to instant gratification, or what?!) I must observe that if Clinton is expecting to overwhelm Obama here (i.e. double digits), she and her supporters must be very anxious and greatly disappointed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is: is HRC is/was going to win by 10 pts or more - which indeed she needs in order to change the story line of her slowly sinking campaign - the networks should have been calling this as "an apparent big Hillary win" even by Now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This would seem - Seem - to indicate that Mrs.  Clinton may "win" - but "win" by fewer than 10%. If that is the case, maybe 7-8% will keep her on life-support...but 5% or less = Death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Death is defined as EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT ALIVE LINING UP TO DEMAND "FOR THE GOOD OF THE PARTY" SHE WITHDRAW FROM THE RACE IMMEDIATELY.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am standing by, on Death Watch, and will check back in presently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-2618584847958245574?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/2618584847958245574/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=2618584847958245574' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/2618584847958245574'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/2618584847958245574'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/04/pennsylvania-poll-ka-live.html' title='PENNSYLVANIA POLL-KA, LIVE'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-1214938207823916460</id><published>2008-04-16T21:45:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-04-16T22:06:23.325-04:00</updated><title type='text'>HILLARY CAVES</title><content type='html'>B+B:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not because Obama had a strikingly weak debate performance, which he surely did: He again refused to strongly denounce Rev Wright. He stammered, wavered, and flopped on the crucial issue of support for Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But these are merely killers in the General Election. As for the Dumocrat Primary, that ended Wednesday night at 8:15 p.m..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that moment Hillary Clinton yielded to the frankly inevitable: with one answer she signaled surrendur to Brack Hussein Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinton was asked the single question affording her the opportunity to make her essential - and only - case, i.e. the same one she has been making behind the scenes to super-deleates: "Obama is unelectable, cannot win."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinton was asked, directly: "Can Barack Obama win in November?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of arguing her case at this crucial moment,  Clinton instead replied "Yes."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that instant, the Clinton argument, the Clinton rationale, hence the Clinton candidacy ended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was inevitable, but I did not expect it to happen quite so soon, nor at Clinton's own - seemingly suddenly pacifist - hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF CLINTON CANNOT - OR WILL NOT - ARGUE THE CASE THAT OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE, SHE HAS NO ARGUMENT, PERIOD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Write it down: with that answer tonight, Hillary Clinton conceded defeat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did some big Democrat get to her? (i.e. "Do whatever you want tonight - but if you want any future in this party, Do  NOT tear Obama apart.") I don't know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the "Obama is unelectable." horse Clinton has been privately riding for weeks wasn't in the stable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, as a result, this horse is officially no longer in the running.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excelsior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6254533008132047901-1214938207823916460?l=jayseverin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/feeds/1214938207823916460/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6254533008132047901&amp;postID=1214938207823916460' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/1214938207823916460'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6254533008132047901/posts/default/1214938207823916460'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jayseverin.blogspot.com/2008/04/hillary-caves.html' title='HILLARY CAVES'/><author><name>Jay Severin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07627453499297751427</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254533008132047901.post-5845858942078155234</id><published>2008-04-14T16:52:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-04-14T17:31:25.415-04:00</updated><title type='text'>APOLOGY</title><content type='html'>B+B:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I write this stuff myself, submit it myself; I have no editor, no one to spot and correct my editorial mistakes - of which I routinely make several.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past Sunday I posted a blog riddled with errors (actually, a redundant draft I neglected to delete prior to posting, which would have confused anybody, including myself).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is because one cannot edit one's own work.
