Emanuel, Lieberman, Duckworth – where the hell did the honeymoon go? I have a feeling that my pocket’s been picked. Please don’t give me that “it’s too early” bit. The livestock is splitting from the barn at an alarming rate, probably looking for change they can believe in.

I’m all for Schakowsky, but it looks like Duckworth will be his choice. The problem with politicians is you can’t ever get what you want. They don’t listen to them that brung em. But I never thought Obama was the liberal I wanted him to be.

And Clinton for Secretary of State? There are better candidates and she can do far more in the Senate. What’s he gonna do–take half the senate to pay his political debts? Never mind Lieberman–we won’t have 50 at the rate he’s going. And of course, Reid couldn’t herd 2 cats to dinner let alone stop a stupid filibuster on children’s health insurance, even if there were 60 Democrats. Sorry, but so much for hope. Fight on, folks.

If this happens, I’m sure most here will give Obama some props for his shrewd move to get a true Liberal in his place, and all without getting his hands “dirty” with Liberal taint. Limpbaugh and Pox Newz wouldn’t know what hit ‘em.

Awesome suggestion.
Forwarded to all my Illinois friends and contacts.
That said, I don’t think Rahm gets along with her all that well.

Well, if ‘it’ ain’t up to us, then who do you figure is gonna do ‘it’?

I don’t see as we’ve any options, and didn’t Obama make use of Grace Lee’s, phrase, “We’re the people we’ve been waiting for.”?

When public campaign finance would actually allow folks like you and me to govern… not raise funds and cater to the rich.
