this will help Obama.  what I am reminded of is how many have discounted the young and their voting.  they think it's a mistake for Obama to court them.
I'm sorry, but, I have heard from people my age whose kids are over 18 registering and planning on voting for the first time like my 23 year old son.
If the young are jazzed and excited over a candidate they will take the time out to register and vote.  and they are crazy about Barack Obama.

I think MM is a shill for the clintons.  Look at how the msm tip toes around anything remotely looking like questioning Hillary on anything hard.
And MM still runs to defend poor Hill.  Poor picked on hillary.
So, while the msm cheerlead for her big time, MM makes sure they don't quit and screech anytime they think the msm is even thinking about treating her as the other candidates instead of Queen inevitable.

Oh please, Matt.  don't let your bruised ego get to you.  The internet has not reached it's full force yet.  the infancy is what it is in as far as politics goes and you are at the beginning to watch what it becomes.
And, truthfully, it is not as powerful as the tv news yet.
We are getting mostly the base and the message is not getting to the mainstream voter.  this is evident by Hillary's numbers.  People are not getting informed on the candidates and where they stand and the tv is only cheerleading for Hillary so they are getting influenced towards her right now.  the average voter is still not turned on to the blogs and internet for indepth and truthful info and so they believe that Hillary is inevitable so why bother getting to know the other candidates or what they are about.
If you were more powerful, Edwards and obama's polls would be higher and Hillary in the toilet.
You are getting there, being somewhat heard, but, you have not gotten as powerful as tv yet.
Quit pouting over hurt feelings and keep getting the message out and new readers here.

so soon they forget.  remember how he handled the Austrailian prime minister???  Everyone forgets he comes from Chicago and chicago politics.  You can have a weak stomach and survive.  
Like he says, poltics ain't bean bag.
But, he chooses his fights.  He doesn't mouth off just for the sake of it or to get attention and posture.  He chooses his fights

the DLC rumor was started because they tried to put him on their list of up and comers.  Obama wrote a letter to them saying to take him off the list.
For if he is centrist.  Then, why is he rated the most liberal of the presidential contenders (even more than Dennis)?  Of all the senators, he places in the top 10.
For experience, he has more gov. experience that clinton or Edwards.  he has 12 years.  straw dog.
His age is also of straw.  Teddy Roosevelt, John Kennedy and Bill Clinton were all younger than Obama went they became president.  Obama will be 46 this year.
for electability, he attracts people across the spectrum, even republicans who are well aware of his liberal policies.  he has the lowest score in negatives.  people respond positive to him.

sorry.  here is the link"

Teagan Goodards Political Wire said that name id has not changed since the campaign began and so, the polling is more on name than candidate.
They listed the name recognition in percent.
