Dan Proft: Will Obama Get "Swift-boated"?
By JulianaJohnson at 05/09/2008 - 3:45pm

 

While Archimedes-in-a-pantsuit tries to rewrite the laws of mathematics, the rest of the nation has properly begun to weigh the Presidential contest between Sens. McCain and Obama.

Obama has, however, learned a valuable Clinton trick from this protracted primary--how to obliquely reference the "vast, right-wing conspiracy" to misdirect people's attention away from glaring, personal deficiencies.


During his victory speech in North Carolina on Tuesday night Obama said, "We know what's coming...the same names and labels they (Republicans) pin on everyone who doesn't agree with all of their ideas."


Actually, we have some new names and labels thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Obama's own words and ideas, as well as the Senator's cozy relationships with corrupt influence peddlers, domestic terrorists, and a hateful, bile-spewing spiritual advisor.


That right-wing conspiracy shtick--being "Swift-boated"--is going to work out about as well for Obama as it did for Clinton and for the same reason-because it is without merit.


"Swift-boated" has been added to our political lexicon by the Left to lament the alleged unfair attacks to which John Kerry was subjected in the 2004 Presidential race.


State Rep Jim Durkin on Public Affairs

Video:

Topics discussed on this episode of "Public Affairs," include whether the Republican Party message in Illinois is anti-tax? Whether it is anti-public corruption? Whether it is pro-jobs.

Also discussed was the significance of a meeting between Tony Rezko, Gov. Blagojevich and Ali Atta, at which time a 25K check from Atta to the Blagojevich campaign was placed on the table by Rezko and what was being done about a job for Atta in the Blago administration was discussed. Does that meeting sound like an indictable offense for the Governor?

Will the state of Illinois operating and capital budgets get passed by the legislature before the end of May, 2008?

Was State Senator Barack Obama a sure vote in the Illinois legislature for the Cook County machine and City Hall?

 Will the State GOP Convention in Decatur on June 6-7, 2008 result in a new National Republican Committeeman from Illinois? Should it? Will it be former State Senator Steve Rauschenberger? Pat Brady (from St. Charles)? Cong. Ray LaHood?  Should State GOP Chairman McKenna be more forceful and critical of public corruption involving Democrats holding public office at all levels, including City, County, State and Federal?

The video questions will be hosted at the RNC website. The RNC has cut a video to get the ball rolling. Details on how to get involved and to watch the RNC video are here.


Phony Numbers and the Coming Train Wreck May 20th

I wonder how Limbaugh will use this in Operation Chaos. It's about to become all about Florida again. Obviously, the longer this drags out the better it is for Republicans.  From Politico.com:

   


Debbie Halvorson feels the heat
By Mark W Johnson at 05/07/2008 - 9:32pm

With the prospect of Gov. Rod Blagovich being indicted State Sentaor Debbie Halvorson has decided to seperate herself from his agenda and stop doing his bidding as Senate Rules Chairman. Via a press release from the IL Republican Party it looks as if Sen. Halvorson is out as Rules Committe Chairman.

 

Lance Trover with the IL GOP had this to say:

 

"After years of working to advance the interests of Rod Blagojevich and Emil Jones at the expense of her constituents, Senator Halvorson has now chosen simply to advance her own political ambitions.

"Unfortunately for Senator Halvorson the damage has been done.

"The voters of the 11th Congressional District will see right through this desperate attempt to distract the people from her long record of being Rod Blagojevich's go-to person in the Senate."

 

Marty Ozinga will face off against Halvorson and his website is here.
