And it is those very policies that will ultimately cause Obama to fail which is why I am glad that the DUmmies refuse to listen to the one bit of rational advice from one of their own in this THREAD, "Evan Bayh steps up, Good for Him."

Evan Bayh on Great Van Susteren last night where he strongly made the case for voting "no" on the $410 Billion Omnibus Spending Bill that contains 9,000 earmarks, and that President Obama should veto it. Bayh has broken ranks with the Democratic leadership in Congress, and with Obama who said he would sign the bill. Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, also a Democrat, is reportedly planning to vote against the bill too. . . . . . .

For a second day, Mr. Obama sought to explain his remarks at a recent San Francisco fund-raiser that small-town Pennsylvania voters, bitter over their economic circumstances, “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them” as a way to explain their frustrations.

The Des Moines Register conducted the first poll of the 2008 presidential race last week. It was based on interviews with registered Iowa voters who are likely to participate in the Democratic caucuses two years from now. Much ado has been made about John Edwards' robust first-place showing, Hillary Clinton's second place, John Kerry's distant third, and Iowa homeboy Gov. Tom...
