About the Author
This is a blogg were I express my concern, without any fears and remorse, respectfully to the opinion of the others, my main concern is focus in the Immigration reform, the Illegal War on Iraq, the care of The mans and woman’s of the United State Armed Forces and the Veterans. Also I am very interesting in pointing about the candidates and working for the fully integration of my community in this electoral process.
Here is the country were dreams come true..! I would like to congratulate to all Obama supporters include I. Now there one Democratic candidate and all the members of this party should be support him. The Change everyone looking for is around the corner but the hard work is far from the end.
The republican opponent should be defeated very clear, soon rather than later.
THE BUSH ERA IS CLOSE TO THE END
GOD BLESSES AMERICA!

No dejes que los medios informativos compren tu voto, la opcion de un cambio verdadero esta a la vuelta de la esquina.
Es tiempo de dejar de lado la demagogia y el autoritarismo politico que tanto dano le ha hecho a esta gran nacion.
Ahora es tiempo de reflexionar en todo lo que esta sucediendo y saber escuchar el mensaje de cambio que el senador Barack Obama esta ofreciendo al pais.
Ya falta poco y la razon ha de imponer la luz que lleve a este pais de nuevo por el sendero correcto para bienestar de sus hijos, nietos y familiares.

Exactly one on half months ago a troubled mother just finishes her visit to the Arlington Cemetery were her son rest in peace she speaks to a reporter of NPR Radio and she quote “If there are someone guilty for my losses and the losses of other parents like me in this war, is the Americans media, they only need one week broadcasting the atrocity of this war” and am I totally sure in less of a weak this war is over.
She was absolutely right; it is amazing how cowardly and complacent was the media covering this war.
They have a lot to explain to the public why if they believe in the FREEDOM of information, they surrounded this FREEDOM to the government of Mr. Bush.
The media have a lot of responsibility in this mess.
They look like a puppet instrument of this administration.
In that way they deserve a warmed “Welcome to the third world”

DARRELL DELAMAIDE'S POLITICAL CAPITAL
What are Democratic Party leaders waiting for?
Commentary: Leaders should declare their support and help end the battle

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Hillary Clinton started out her race for the Democratic nomination as the establishment's choice - and she still is in many respects.
The party contacts forged during Bill Clinton's presidency, not to mention the chits earned through various favors, have won her key backers like Gov. Ed Rendell in Pennsylvania and Sen. Evan Bayh in Indiana, and other party establishment figures earlier in Ohio, Texas, Massachusetts and other key Democratic states.
If party leaders can't show the courage of their convictions now, when it counts, perhaps the Democrats deserve to lose, again, in November.
So it's not surprising that Clinton consistently wins many of the core constituencies in the Democratic Party with the help of these party leaders in mobilizing the vote. But the spin put on these victories by the Clinton campaign leads to some wrong conclusions.
Clinton says she can win the big states, because she has won majorities big and small in the Democratic primaries in big states. There is nothing to indicate, however, that Obama could not win these states in a general election once the party unified behind him. Even the exit polls now saying that various portions of Clinton and Obama supporters would not vote for the other candidate are not completely reliable - people might think again with cooler heads once the primaries are over.
So Obama does not have a "problem" with white male Democratic voters in the lower income brackets, except when he is pitted against Hillary Clinton, who many of these voters prefer over him. That is what primaries are about, but even these simple truths get lost in the tidal waves of spin that accompany each step of this race.
The Clinton machine at work
Here are the facts. Clinton had the backing of the popular governor of Pennsylvania, as well as the mayors of the two major cities and 100 other mayors. She had the help of the most popular Democratic president in a generation, Bill Clinton. Obama had the backing of Sen. Bob Casey, a Catholic opposed to abortion who in the end did not persuade enough people like him to vote for Obama. The senator from Illinois also had more money and spent more than twice what Clinton spent in Pennsylvania.
In the end, Gov. Rendell and other others backed Clinton not only because Bill called in his chits, but because they think she's the better candidate. And their supporters voted for Clinton because they decided as well that she is the better candidate. But in some respects, Obama's role as a challenger to the Clinton dynasty makes his task the same as running against an incumbent, even though a brilliant campaign strategy and missteps by Clinton have made him the frontrunner.
So here are some more facts. In the count by the Associated Press Wednesday morning, Clinton won 80 of the 158 Pennsylvania delegates and Obama won 66, with 12 still not allocated as they apportioned the county votes to congressional districts. Leaving aside those 12, the Pennsylvania vote brought Obama's pledged delegate total to 1,483 and Clinton's to 1,331, still a gap of more than 150. In the popular vote, Clinton's win in Pennsylvania cut Obama's lead by 200,000 to about 600,000.
Democrats - not only party leaders but rank and file - are wringing their hands that the party may still manage with the trench warfare of this prolonged primary fight to do the near-impossible and lose this election in the fall. So what will the Democratic Party do - and particularly the establishment? Will they sit back and wait and see if Clinton's war of attrition against Obama will eke out some more victories in Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia so that they can rationalize a superdelegate vote in favor of Clinton?
There seems to be a hesitancy among some of the party leaders about showing their hand, daring to influence the outcome of the remaining primaries. Why, really? Why not show a little leadership - the way Rendell and Bayh and John Kerry and Ted Kennedy and Bill Richardson have? Where are John Edwards, who made many people believe he cares about the future of the country during his own run for the nomination, and Al Gore, who convinced more than half the voters that he was the better choice for president eight years ago? Have they not made up their minds? Are they waiting to "heal" the party after the primaries?
If they favor Clinton or Obama and if they do care about the party's fate in November, Edwards and Gore - and other undeclared superdelegates - should think about exercising some leadership and declare their support now to help speed this primary race to a resolution. These endorsements could add to Clinton's political - and fund-raising momentum - and boost her to more decisive victories, or these endorsements could give a needed lift to Obama to help him "close the deal" that his efforts have brought so close. What are they waiting for? If these party leaders can't show the courage of their convictions now, when it counts, perhaps the Democrats deserve to lose, again, in November.

McCain smiles as Clinton and Obama slug it out
April 24, 2008
Hillary Clinton was the victor in the Pennsylvania primary. The loser may have been the Democratic Party.
SENATOR Barack Obama's take on the early results in the US Democratic Party's Pennsylvania primary was a tad disingenuous. Once it was clear that his rival for the party's presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton, was on course for victory, he said that anything better than 50% was a majority, and if she gained that she had won, and that was it.
Except that's not it, as both candidates well know. The 55% of the vote recorded for Senator Clinton keeps alive her slim hope of securing the nomination at the party's convention in August, but it does no more than that. Senator Obama went into the Pennsylvania campaign 20 points behind Senator Clinton, and the fact that when the votes were counted the margin separating them had been shorn back to 10 points will not boost the confidence of either her advisers or of senior officials in the Democratic Party.
The former know that this victory of less than landslide proportions does little to help wind back Senator Obama's lead in pledged convention delegates. The latter, meanwhile, will be increasingly afraid that the bitter contest between the senator from Illinois and the senator from New York will boost the Republican Party's chances of retaining the White House, an outcome that six months ago even Republican strategists probably thought unlikely.
Much of the blame for the damage that is being done to the party lies with the Clinton camp, which has long conducted a campaign characterised by personal attacks on Senator Obama. And what is worse, some of those attacks were thinly veiled attempts to exploit racist attitudes among the working-class white voters who form the Democrats' core support in states such as Pennsylvania and Ohio. Senator Obama's campaign advertising has more recently also acquired a negative taint, although most observers continue to credit him with displaying greater restraint than his rival in the increasingly vituperative campaign.
That restraint, however, is not only a testament to his character. It is a necessity for a candidate who has presented himself as offering a new kind of politics to heal a divided nation, one that transcends petty partisan bickering and resists pandering to sectional interests. For this stance to be credible, he cannot always, or even mostly, respond to Senator Clinton's attacks in kind.
Speaking yesterday in Indiana, the scene of the next primary battle, and one that may extinguish Senator Clinton's hopes if she loses there, Senator Obama remained on message as he acknowledged his defeat in Pennsylvania. "We can be a party that says and does whatever it takes to win the next election," he said. "We can calculate and poll-test our positions and tell everyone exactly what they want to hear. Or we can be the party that doesn't just focus on how to win but why we should." And, in a swipe at Senator Clinton, he said: "You can't be the champion of working Americans if you're funded by the lobbyists who drown out their voices."
Senator Clinton, for her part, was both exuberant and defiant in victory. "Some people counted me out and said to drop out, but the American people don't quit, and they deserve a president who doesn't quit either," she said.
More of the same kind of rhetoric can be expected from both candidates as the contest moves to polls in Indiana and North Carolina on May 6. And that prospect must alarm Democratic Party strategists and the 800 "super-delegates" " former presidents, governors, members of Congress and senior party officials " who have the right to attend the convention but are not officially pledged to either candidate. North Carolina is expected to favour Senator Obama, and on present indications Indiana leans slightly to Senator Clinton. But after the bruising inflicted on the party during the Pennsylvania campaign, leading Democrats will be asking themselves how much longer they can allow Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to focus on each other rather than on the putative Republican nominee, Senator John McCain.
Senator Clinton clearly means what she says when she vows not to give up her fight for the White House. But she should also consider what damage she may do to her party and to her own reputation if Senator McCain is the ultimate beneficiary of her intransigence. Nothing will now deter her from contesting the May 6 primaries, but if she loses in Indiana, or wins narrowly, she should recognise that the best service she could do for the Democrats would be to withdraw from the race voluntarily. And if she refused to do so in such circumstances, the party's elders should tell her to go.

Hillary Clinton knows the results in PA (less than 10 points) represent the end of her aspirations, she knows it is enough, but she appealed to subterfuges and antidemocratic tactics to get the nomination.
Mathematically is literally impossible win the nomination or finish at least as a front runner.
Then she appealed to the division of the party, she appealed to antidemocratic solutions, like ignore the VOTE OF THE MAJORITY!
Wow sound hard but it is true:
First at all, she said, the votes of MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA should be counted. But she only talks like that because she knew that count give her the advantage, but she do not deserve this advantage, at least in that way, because that collide with the rules of the party. The same rules she previously accepts. (That FLIP " FLOP is nothing estrange on her)
She knows keep running her campaign give some advantage to the Republican Party and his candidate in the general election. May be she want this because is clear that the Republicans al helping her in this primaries. (Pennsylvania exit poll show a lot of republican voting for her " Why? " Simple " actually the scenario of confrontantion between democratc gives McCain some advantage facing the general election)
Them this is the most important key:
Hillary knows she couldn’t finish these primaries as a front runner " Them she appealed to the decisions of the SUPER DELEGATES " WHY? - Because in her mind she really do not WANT to respect the VOTE of the majority of the people who participate in this primaries " Yes " HER EXPECTATION is that, the SUPER DELEGATES REVERSE THE DECISION OF THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION giving HER THE NOMINATION " no matter if she finish trailing the front runner ho has and earn THE VOTE OF THE MAJORITY.
This is HER REAL INTENTION OF HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON!
This is the DEMOCRACY IN WHAT SHE BELIEVE!
Yes Hillary Rodham Clinton, think the VOTE of the majority is NOT IMPORTANT " and if the SUPER DELEGATES decide GO AGAINST the VOTE of the majority of the people and give her THE NOMINATION " that is OK for her! After all her primary intention is get the White House at any cost in any way.
That is why she still and persist in this race " BECAUSE SHE DO NOT WANT to recognize the VOTE of the MAJORITY.
And that claim about the VOTES IN MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA is only part of her HYPOCRISY. And all of this rhetoric’s is part of HER GAME OF BUYING VOTES.

Mathematically is literally impossible win the nomination or finish at least as a front runner.
Then she appealed to the division of the party, she appealed to antidemocratic solutions, like ignore the VOTE OF THE MAJORITY!
Wow sound hard but it is true:
First at all, she said, the votes of MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA should be counted. But she only talks like that because she knew that count give her the advantage, but she do not deserve this advantage, at least in that way, because that collide with the rules of the party. The same rules she previously accepts. (That FLIP " FLOP is nothing estrange on her)
She knows keep running her campaign give some advantage to the Republican Party and his candidate in the general election. May be she want this because is clear that the Republicans al helping her in this primaries. (Pennsylvania exit poll show a lot of republican voting for her " Why? " Simple " actually the scenario of confrontantion between democratc gives McCain some advantage facing the general election)

“As America and the world observe Earth Day, the call to save our planet has never been more urgent. In recent years, we’ve seen the harm that more severe weather events can do. We’ve seen it in the droughts that have swept the South, the hurricanes that threaten our shores with increasing ferocity, and the rising sea levels that could one day submerge our cities. This is a challenge unlike any the world has ever faced, and America must lead the world to meet it.
“But Earth Day is not just an urgent call to action; it is a reminder that what is now a global effort began as a grassroots movement for change. Nearly forty years ago, our nation was at war, recession loomed on the horizon, and Americans were losing faith in their own government. But in the face of division and despair, young Americans came together around a common purpose. In high schools, and on college campuses, in small towns and big cities, they rose up to demand that Washington help solve our growing environmental crisis and establish Earth Day.
“While our planet is in greater peril now than it was forty years ago, we are now better prepared to protect it. From solar panels to windmills to biofuels, innovators in America and around the world are inventing our way to a clean energy future. But solving our climate crisis requires more than technological breakthroughs. Our leaders in Washington have to put what’s right for our planet ahead of what’s good for their friends in the energy industry. Executives in the energy industry have to understand that there’s nothing inconsistent about acting in a way that’s both responsible and profitable. And each of us has to do more in our own lives to use energy more efficiently.
“We have a choice in this country. We can continue with an energy policy that makes no sense, and serves the interests of the big oil and gas companies at great cost to our planet. Or we can choose a different future " a future where America is energy independent, and no longer funding both sides in the war on terror; a future where we’re leading rather than undermining the global effort to combat climate change; and investing in green energy technology, and creating the jobs of the future. That is the future I believe in, and that is the America I’m running for President to lead.
“On this Earth Day, let’s recapture in Washington, on Wall Street, and all across this country the spirit of unity and urgency that led those students to found Earth Day all those years ago. And if we can do that, then I truly believe we won’t just be freeing ourselves from the tyranny of oil, or saving this planet for our children, we’ll be fulfilling our obligation to be good stewards of God’s creation.”

Exit polls: New voters boost Obama
Posted: 05:49 PM ET
Three-year-old Dusten Washington holds a fan supporting Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama.
(CNN) " There were more than 150,000 new voters in the Pennsylvania primary and they overwhelmingly voted for Barack Obama, the just released exit polls show.
Among first time voters, 60 percent went for Obama while only 38 percent went for Clinton. That discrepancy could keep the race close.
But in good news for Clinton, among voters who decided in the last week, she bests Obama by 16 points, 58 percent to 42 percent.
Clinton has won among late deciders in prior contests, but she was likely helped in Pennsylvania by Barack Obama's at-times shaky debate performance Wednesday night.

2. Prediction? Clinton by 6-9%. She'll pick up 3-10 delegates, which could very well be negated by Obama tomorrow. Keep in mind that Obama leads Clinton in N.C. by 15+%. And that Indiana will likely be a tie. And finally that Clinton is running low on funds, and doesn't have the time now to change those numbers. Unless Clinton can pull off a 15 point victory today, I'd say she's done.

Yes, Hillary Rodham Clinton helps George W. Bush with her VOTE supporting this illegal war.
As a consequence of this vote more than 4,000 American Soldiers are DEAD, more than 25,000 soldiers suffer any kind of DISABILITY and more than 50,000 soldiers are WOUNDED.
Then, Hillary spent years or TOTAL SILENCE and complicity.
She is more of the same
As a politician she like the way of make business as usual
VOTE for Change
For REAL Change
VOTE for Obama
Vote for Obama 2008
