With Obama: Punching Back
Obama has also unveiled his closing act for Iowa: a one-two wallop against his two closest rivals that I saw up in close, no kidding, in a town named Clinton.
Meantime, bookmark my running Iowa campaign journal.

Our holiday dinner poll of midwesterners this year indicates good days for Obama, and bad days for all of the Republicans (OK, save for Ron Paul). When I mentioned Edwards, I got quizzical looks, and one person commented, “he’s not doing so well, is he?” Obama, on the other hand, seems to have captured the imagination of a reasonably broad spectrum of both politically-sophisticated and unsophisticated citizens. This could all change, but Obama seems to have firmed up his position of #1 challenger to HRC, with a bullet.

I don’t know Michael. I’m sorta enchanted with Mike Huckabee’s discovery – in the wake of the Bhutto Assasination – of all those hoards of Illegal Pakistanis headed our way for Jihad.
And who said the GOP lacked vision?

What with the Iran vote leaving HIllary Clinton looking like a fool and a tool; it’s a little surprinsing Obama can’t do any better than his creaky pablum about “change.” Yeah, Bush was going to bring us together too; and I’m sure at some point the late Mr. Wipple hipped us to new and improved Charmon. “IM THE FIRST ONE WHO TALKED ABOUT CHANGE”, give me a break.
I’d like to get some specifics on just which Republicans Obama plans to work with on the war. Does he agree that the poor little ole Republicans WOUDA been for peace, but those mean old Dems just kept making it too political?
It’s very bland fare coming from someone angry over trading blows with the dastardly, satanic Clintons. Maybe he should bring in prize dufas Chris Matthews to advise him, and start screaming that he won’t be killed in his crib.
Still, it’s fun not to know who’s going to win.

Well you see TC Barack is going to use his amazing healing powers and, just like that, Mitch McConnell, Tom Coburn , and the others will see the light and, as LBJ said, come and reason togther. Corse Johnson also said that when you’ve got them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow!
I see a real disappointed country in 2010 if Obama really tries thatcrap. You thought Jimmy Carter had problems?

What I keep reading is that Obama is going to “reach beyond the opposition operatives” to make desirable change happen. That might be a good local level community organization strategy where you have multiple agents with some clout in the mix. I’ve seen that done successfully. Eg; Rehab doesn’t want to play, so enlist the folks from JTPA. But, what I keep wondering is who is it on the other side of those Congressional (?) operatives, presumed to be in opposition, he’ll be reaching out to. It sounds good, but then I wonder who those folks might be. Who exactly does he mean by operative? And, what’s on the other side of them? One of those times when a concrete example might be useful for me to think the strategy consists of more than a bunch of hand waving.
