There's nothing in Klein and Scahill that's substantively different from what we're doing. Wanna make a bet on whether they come out for Obama?

Very little spin is required on Obama's latest foreign policy missive. We said he's trying to represent and speak to the center, and this is a case in point. The best spin you could put on it is that it's a rejection of pre-emptive war, the NeoCon policy separating Bush Jr from Bush the Elder. I'm sticking to 'Out Now' and exposing the counter-insurgency crap, which is far nastier than this statement. That's why we set this up, so we don't have to spin Obama's every twist and turn. We can build on our views, pressure him and defend him vs the right, all at the same time. It's called politics.

But you guys never cease to amaze me with how little politics you have, as opposed to moralizing 'gotchca's' over correct lines. I just came from a meeting of 100 or so workers, white and Black, men and women, mostly from steel and related industries. We watched the Norman Soloman antiwar film. All these folks were for Kucinich, and they're all very aware of the differences between their guy and Obama, on both the war and health care. But now that Kucinich is out, they're very clear as to what they're next step is in this election. In short, they know their interests and fight for them, and they do it in the context of being engaged in real life politics. I can't tell you how refreshing it is compared to what passes for politics on CIMC.
