A touching scene emerged in the state of Indiana. It was a courages action taken by over three dozen Call Center agents.
It also reminds all of us that there are truly good,patriotic, loyal americans who share our moral values. It also shows that Senator Barack Obama's leadership truly inspires regular americans across the country.

As reported by TPM, over three dozen call center agents walked-off  their telemarketing jobs at Americall, a call center based in Hobart, Indiana. Despite warning from management, the agents decided to walk-off their job rather than make telemarketing calls using False Attacks scripts against Sen. Barack Obama.

They were given a choice to either go with the script & read it or leave. About 40 agents decided to walk-off.

According to the report, the agents were then all fired by the company.

The script had attacked Obama for being "dangerously weak on crime," "coddling criminals," and for voting against "protecting children from danger."

For these regular folks to risk their jobs especially during these tough & uncertain economic challenges is truly touching. My heart goes out to these fellow americans.

When I think of Indiana as being one of the highest unemployment states in the country, it took a lot of courage for a whole group of co-workers to do what they did.

This was their own personal way of fighting back against swifboating by the Republican Party.

I hope someone notifies the Obama campaign of what these workers just did. I'm sure Sen. Barack Obama would like to acknowledge them publicly. Not many people would have done this especially when we are going through the worst economic crisis since the great depression.

Somehow most of us knew that this was eventually going to happen. Well its here. McCain campaign manager Rick Davis just confirmed their campaign's decision to RECONSIDER their earlier opposition to using controversial figure Reverand Jeremiah Wright.

My fellow democrats, its time to buckle-up for the ride. Senator John McCain has decided to go Racial big-time. This could potentially be an very ugly last two weeks.

I am confident that the Obama campaign already expected this event from happening & have contingency plans in place. The response from the entire Democratic Party should be LOUD, SWIFT, & MASSIVE. This is when raising $ 150 million will come in handy.

I expect virtually the entire Democratic elected officials led by  Senators,Governors & House members together with the media to immediately condemn any Wright attacks.

After John Kerry's swiftboating, NEVER AGAIN!

Here's a quote from Mr. Davis from his interview with  radio host Hugh Hewitt.

"Said Davis: "Look, John McCain has told us a long time ago before this campaign ever got started, back in May, I think, that from his perspective, he was not going to have his campaign actively involved in using Jeremiah Wright as a wedge in this campaign. Now since then, I must say, when Congressman Lewis calls John McCain and Sarah Palin and his entire group of supporters, fifty million people strong around this country, that we're all racists and we should be compared to George Wallace and the kind of horrible segregation and evil and horrible politics that was played at that time, you know, that you've got to rethink all these things. And so I think we're in the process of looking at how we're going to close this campaign. We've got 19 days, and we're taking serious all these issues."

Awesome news & hopefully a very telling sign for November.

St. Louis, Missouri has just announced that 100,000 are in attendance in Sen. Barack Obama's rally today.

This would be Senator Obama's Largest Rally ever in the United States. This would surpass the 80,000 attendance that graced his Invesco Field Acceptance speech.

It would also be the largest political rally in the state of Missouri.

Obama's previous largest audience was the 200,000 rally at Berlin, Germany.

CNN also stated that this is a very good sign for the Obama campaign. To get 100,000 just over two weeks away from election day is nothing but good news.

People are mad,angry,concerned & ready for Real Change!

Go Obama!

Some really great news !

As we are headed to the home stretch of the 2008 Presidential campaign, the Clinton's are launching a multi-state campaign through battleground states for Senator Barack Obama.

Former President Bill Clinton & Senator Hillary Clinton will take center stage on Sunday in Scranton, PA together with VP candidate Senator Joe Biden.

After the Scranton rally, the Clinton's will take separate routes through battleground states in support of Senator Barack Obama. They will also campaign for Senate & House democratic candidates across the country.

Bill Clinton will then be campaigning in Richmond and Roanoke,Virginia. He then proceeds to campaign in the two battleground states of Ohio & Nevada. He carried both states in 1992 & 1996. Hillary Clinton also remains popular in these two states.

While Hillary Clinton's campaign schedule after Scranton, PA includes the battlground states of Florida, Ohio,Minnesota & Omaha, Nebraska. ( Hillary in Nebraska ! Wow- Obama must be really close in getting that 1 electoral vote in the district)

Bill Clinton was also in Florida earlier this week while Hillary Clinton campaign in Little Rock, Arkansas last Friday.

Senator Clinton also gave radio interviews in North Carolina & Spanish stations in Florida on behalf of Senator Obama. She also launched a Women's get out the vote by phone in Wisconsion.

Senator Clinton has headline more than 50 events for Barack Obama in the last 60 days & has raised over $10 million dollars for the Obama campaign.

This is just awesome news for Senator Obama & the democratic party. While the big dogs Bill & Hillary are going all out for Obama, John McCain is doing everything to stay away from the Bush family.

Just like Georgia & West Virginia, I would not be surprised if Obama closes the gap in Arkansas. The Arkansas Governor & two Senators are also spending time campaigning for Senator Obama.

Go Go Obama ! We are now about the enter the last 3 weeks !!!

Illegal Vote Purging is once again happening as reported by both the NY Times & MSNBC. What's even more disturbing is where it is taking place. Tens of thousands of voters, particulary new voters,  have been illegally purged in at least 6 key battleground states. With about 3 weeks to go before election day, how in the world can they resolve this & put these voters back on the list.

As the NY Times correctly states,  This no doubt hurts democrats much more due to the fact that we have such a huge amount of new registered voters.

This crap happens every single time especially when the Republican party senses defeat. Unbelievable!

I hope the Obama campaign in coordination with State Democratic officials can do something about this ASAP.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27093919/

From Politico, to ABC yesterday, CNN today, & the NY Daily News Sunday edition. Finally, the mainstream media is starting to forecast what millions of Clintonistas have been saying this entire primary season.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/050 8/10585.html

Now that we pretty much have a nominee in Sen. Barack Obama, many in the MSM can now report what more than half of all registered democrats have been saying for the past 6 months.

By the way, this is Totally Unacceptable. A damaged and weakened Republican party with historical record high disapproval ratings still winning the Presidential race in November.

The Old Liberal Democrat party elders should be held fully accountable if this should occur in November. To annoint a nominee that received less registered democratic votes will have big repercussions if our party goes down in defeat in November.

Especially when All Accounts show that the "woman" democrat would defeat the Republican McCain by winning a landslide 300+ electoral votes.

Instead, what is ABC,CNN,Politico, & NY Daily news reporting?

" Sen. John McCain could win in November by an electoral college blowout. It would be a huge Republican Presidential win. Much bigger than the 35 electoral margin that carried President Bush over Kerry in 2004. It would mark a return to the 80's  formula. While Democrats do well in local House races & increase their margins, we would once again lose the national race."

This is a very heavy price to pay of the sake of making racial history. Too big a price for the next 4 years.

By late October, please do not be surprised when John McCain is polling at 300 - 320 electoral votes.

Having a close national popular vote means nothing. Absolutely nothing. City after city, urban area after urban area can come out in record numbers in November. All that will do is keep the Chicago Democrat competitive in the popular vote.

But the only one that matters, the Electoral votes will be a totally different picture.

This should be the finally straw at the credibility of many so called " Left of Center netroots leaders" like Kos.

Since I read several diaries on Michelle Whitedove on Mydd & Dailykos in the last 90 days, let me give the followers of Michelle an Update on what she just posted on her website two days after Indiana/North Carolina primary.

This is Ms. Whitedove's response to the over 4,275 emails that she received the day after the Indiana/North Carolina primary.

Ms. Whitedove's was on CBS,CNN,FOX, HBO, PBS & Montel the whole of last week giving her predictions.

P.S. Michelle gained popularity by having predicted accurately the last 5 Presidential elections for both the GE & the Primary between 8 to 12 months before the actual primaries even started.

She was also named in January by Lifetime Television & HBO as the best american in the business. She beat out 37 of the best in america on live tv on her accuracy.

Here's her response to all the emails.

Enjoy !

I am now in total agreement with several major political pundits like Dee Dee Myers, Pat Buchanan, Al Hunt, & Dick Morris regarding the GE chances of Sen. Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee in November.

First of all, Democrats as a party go into November 2008 with a big advantage never seen by either party since Reagan in 1984.

In fact, any other conventional democratic candidate whether Dodd, Biden, H. Clinton, Clark, Bayh, Edwards, Gore & even Kerry would be "HEAVILY" favored to win it all in November 2008.

Worse Economy, Worse war since Vietnam, worse Gas Prices since the 70's, highest foreclosures & job losses in two decades.

Its an Almost Perfect Scenario for the political opposition. In this case, the democrats.

This is probably as sure as any democrat will ever get. As close to Reagan's win over Mondale.

But will all that said, it looks like the democratic party has decided to go with the "Most Unconvention Candidate" ever in U.S. presidential history.

These pundits have said.... Make No Mistake about it....

With Obama as the Democratic nominee...

This Presidential election for 2008 with Obama as the nominee  would turn this race into a REFERENDUM on Barack Obama. ( Most voters unless you're a die hard Bush Republican have already made their own conclusions about the failure of the Bush Presidency)

With the Unconventional Indentity wrapped politics of Obama, the only question for November is if american voters would vote for a candidate who is virtually unknown,untested, very little experience, an african-american liberal with an unsual name Barack Hussein Obama, but offers a Brand New promise of a New Kind of politics & hope.

Or, do they go with the safe, traditional candidate in the old, very experienced, independent minded John McCain.

It does not matter if you are a die hard Obama fan. One thing every democrat can agree on is the Obama candidacy in November would without a doubt be the "Highest Risk" taken of any democratic candidate in our bench.

Why take the risky candidate & gamble when we are heavily favored to win ? I don't know. Don't ask me why. Ask Nancy Pelosi &  Ted Kennedy.

Why Most Risky? Well, the obvious...

a) Very Thin Resume ( even thinner than George W. Bush)
b) to his uncommon non-western name of Barack Hussein Obama
c) to his roots of growing up with a father & step father who are muslim ( with the U.S. being at war with two muslim nations)
d) to his Race as an African-American
e) to his less explored past since he is virtually a rookie in the national political stage

Can he win in November? Oh Absolutely ! Any candidate that Democrats field in November will have a fair shot at winning it all. The odds are just simply stacked against the GOP today.

But can he also lose ? Oh extremely possible! Can he end up losing by a big margin particularly in the Electoral college? Of course, very very possible.

Since Obama will be an unconventional candidate never seen before, anything unconventional happening is very possible.

See, with the conventional democratic candidates, this November will be Much More about the Bush Record & the Republican Party. The GOP will be at the defensive.

But with Obama, this election will be much more about Barack Obama himself rather than McCain or Bush.

Most if not all americans know who McCain is. Millions of americans have seen & followed him over the many years of his service.

The prediction that I have is in agreement with the pundits I mentioned above :

Obama will either win Big across america & carry not only blue states but  carry states like Iowa, Colorado, Virginia, & Missouri.

OR

Obama will lose by an electoral landslide in November. He would lose even traditional Blue states like PA,NJ,NH,MA combined with being swept om battleground states like OH,FL,NM,NV,IA,WI,MN,CO.

It would be either a blowout win or a blowout loss with Obama as the head of the ticket.

It would either be a Bill Clinton 1996 type of electoral college victory  or a 1988 Michael Dukakis type of electoral massive landslide defeat.

This won't be a close electoral college election either way.

Either places like NJ,PA,MA,,MO,NM, NH,IA,CO,VA All go for Obama on election night & we celebrate the biggest victory for Democrats in many decades OR we just Paid the Most Expensive Price ever as a political party for the sake of making history by nominating the 1st black person.

Either way, our party will never be the same again after the 2008 Sen. Obama show.
