Avedon feels unloved. Frankly, so do I.
And a lot of progressive sites don't seem to appreciate the lack of appreciation from the Unibama. For me, it's gotten really hard to read them. But perhaps not quite as hard to read them as the obsequious pandering of the Oborg to the TheoCons.
There is a major concern that there is a Rovian twist going on.
I've got nothing against Corrente types. Some of my favorite people are Corrente types. Both the farmer and Lambert have voices that say things good to hear even when I can not agree.
It is possible to vote for Obama without supporting him. He's not a progressive by a long shot, and that's been easy to see as far back as last winter. Neither is Hillary.
But McCain and the Republicans are far, far worse. McCain is really quite unstable and dishonest. Phil Gramm really still guides him: or rather the latest incarnation of Enron, the Union Bank of Switzerland, still guides him.
Which isn't to say Obama, just like the Clintons, isn't totally owned by the Companies. He is. But it's the difference between a cynic and a maniac for president, and in my book, the cynic wins every time.
We should vote for Obama post-convention, even if he picks Hillary as VP, even if he has a blue dog DINOcrat running with him.
Voting for Obama over McCain is not the same thing as supporting him. We don't have to support him: the Soros branch of the Carlyle Group will do that. We really don't want the McCainiac as preznit though: global thermonukular war precipiatated by apoplectic rage is not a pretty sight.
No big deal. Just John being John.
Although if there is a Dr. Manhattan out there in some branch of the multiverse it might give him an opportunity to shine, so to speak...
