Amy Klobuchar set to endorse Obama
From my perspective, a lot of the current Clinton strategy can be called ‘whistling past the graveyard.’ She’s not really trying to win pre-convention, she’s trying to stop the serious trend of superdelegates endorsing Obama so she can simply maintain some mathematical argument for a brokered convention.
If she fails that, her candidacy will be dead before June. Despite her whistling, however, her argument’s still failing. In the eight weeks since Super Tuesday, among pledged or superdelegates, I believe she’s only come out ahead in Ohio and Rhode Island, while Obama’s moved ahead in 12 states, the District of Columbia and one US territory.
Of the eight states and two territories remaining, polling indicates she’s favored to win three. Winning more will take more than whistling; it will take the savvy necessary to gain more delegates, a savvy so far better demonstrated by Obama.

My political connections are zero. Just work everyday for most of my life and have realized politics does have an effect on the economy and the jobs in this so called free market system. Actually only know as much about these politicians as one would get from these blogs, a Wikipedia, and any scandal stuff spending huge amounts of time surfing for good bad and ugly stuff on the Internet. Plus reading about the candidates in their own books and writing.
Here, with Obama, this last January 2005 was installed as a Senator. Just about finished his book on the ‘Audacity of Hope”. This has many alarming passages just as controversial as Mr. Reverend Wright Sermon, yet wonder why so many top editors and news paper people commend him for great stuff. Obama said he finally got settled in after the very first year to understand what he need to do and felt comfortable as a Senator. Very interesting, here the guy is in office for a year and runs for president. Please I need this argument for my next job interview, no experience is necessary for anything any more; anyone from the streets of Chicago should go for the next CEO slot. Seems that no experience can get you to the presidency.
Mainstream Media has the electorate so confused and so misinformed it is beyond comprehension. As for politicians like Amy or even the Kennedy’s supporting Obama is more than partisan it supports long history of secret back room deals under the blanket of “ National Security Secrets” really done for profiteering, but with the disguise of patriotism and liberty makes money for the secret political trust fund babies.
Obama is the best way out for the Constitutional Monarchs. Heck Lieberman is only one of the few who flag the desperate suppression of truly a free America by switching sides. To be sure Gore learned a huge lesson; however let’s see what he will do with that knowledge. Also understand why Gore left politics.
My best guess is that a huge list of politicians that run as so called Democrats are more than partisan but actually work both sides of the equation just as had as the fast as the Arabs can hand out the Petro-Dollars. Sad but true, after reading Gerald Posners book “Secrets of The Kingdom” and Al Gore’s “Assault on reason” America is and was controlled by Arab influence for decades only now has surfaced to become a very frightening thing brought to us by the Neo-Con Greed and they are trying with all that they can to turn this mess around. Or likely blame it on the democrats via Barack Hussein Obama who is the straw man.
