Obama in enemy territory 5:54pm on 31 Oct 2008 Sometimes I wonder Justin, both in the nomination and now Election campaign your leanings have always been so obvious, at times on TV some of your comments of leaning for one candidate come over as arrogance as well.

Barack Obama often is a no win situation currently, if he did not visit a territory he would be accused by some of being arrogant, visit some States were it is felt he stands only a small chance of success and he is still arrogant.

This last few days it has been interesting to see how some polls by some parts of the media also lean to who they clearly lean towards, but they don't ever tell the full story of how the sample was done?

At least your colleagues show a real good independence and report openly! on what has been an amazing political year in the USA.
Getting angry 12:38pm on 11 Oct 2008 McCain and his campaign team must accept that they started this campaign of hatred and slurs, McCain first by the way he has been towards Barack Obama as a person and then with the attacks in the last week at rally's by both himself and Palin. So the extreme fanatical right of the republicans are in their element to stur up bad felling.

If you read various websites you will find the same republican fanatics throwing insults and being offensive towards anyone who may have an opinion from theirs.

Did McCain and his Team not see what affect being so negative from Hillary Clinton in the nomination race damaged her campaign badly.

I must also say that the BBC coverage tends to lean towards McCain for some reason, they do not highlight such as what is being discussed here and they describe crowds at rally's as being massive when film footage shows they are not that big. Why Justin do you and some of your fellow colleagues feel you have to lean this way?
Thoughtfulness 09:02am on 10 Jun 2008 Justin, what impressed me with Barack Obama was when he went to his central campaign offices last weekend to say Thanks to his Staff, many of them young people who have worked hard non stop for 18 months. Barack's words came straight from the Heart, nothing fancy as if it was from a man management programme manual, just sincerity and truth, but put over well.

The Unit that you talk about, which has been set up, is common sense as well as thoughtfulness! - I have followed Barack Obama since 2001 and read many strategy reports, for me many have been plain and simple, but common sense! - bot no one will ever be able to take way from the Obama Campaign the success with the internet with both donating and voter recruitment, an example to any political campaign.
Why Obama won 07:27am on 04 Jun 2008 Justin,

Like Hillary you still can't accept reality, stop looking for excuses, the race was there for the taking and Hillary lost it! - her strategy campaign was completely wrong. Even in her final primaries speech she says "What do I Want" well for starters she wants to
re-write history and run by Hillary Rules only, she claimed Super Tuesday was a success!!
When will the end come? 07:50am on 03 Jun 2008 I have never known any race or election when loyalists want to blame everyone and everything but the Candidate or runner themselves, Hillary got it wrong! that is reality.

Hillary has the right to fight on, but it should be made completely clear today it is all or NOTHING! and the latter may be what is best for The Party and Hillary in the end.
Not finding the votes 07:50am on 02 Jun 2008 Hillary's clear stubborn attitude at the end of the day will only damage herself, her loyal supporters are right when they say she does not have to stand down before the convention, but they must accept that is going to also damage The Democratic Party and our opportunity in November.

If Hillary chooses this path which is against the Majority if Party support, then it should be ensured that she is finished politically, many have forgiven Bill for the damage he did to Our Party, but this must not be the case for Hillary is she seriously causes electoral damage.
Narrowing options 1:42pm on 01 Jun 2008 I don't deny Hillary got her campaign off to a good start jacksforge, but once the wheels started to come off they came off completely, after watching Harold Ickes yesterday perhaps we know why, was it Hillary who is so stubborn or as much those behind her.

Hillary either looks the fool now or she tires and save a little bacon! keep fighting like Harold Ickes seemed to suggest and she is Finished, forget 2012, 2016 or 2020, she needs to start to worry what she can in fact do at all after this if she struggles on. Chelsea, well we can all have dreams and she is nothing but a dreamer forget about it. The Clinton Brand is Tarnished and they well know It what do they do to try ans rescue it first sack Ickes, Singer and Penn and Co!
Narrowing options 07:16am on 01 Jun 2008 It was disgusting that such an important meeting as The Rules and Bye-Laws should end up like a footie crowd! and even more Shame on some of the 30 members of the committee who behaved the same, when they should be there to decide what is BEST FOR THE PARTY! - to see members standing up and clapping/cheering when one candidate scored a point????

It was no shock to see Harold Ickes, steam coming from his ear, each time he did not get how own way and then at the end when The Party should have UNITED to still make THREATS from Mrs Clinton, how disgusting, many are asking now was she ever a real candidate with this attitude??
Judging the Kennedy gaffe 07:41am on 28 May 2008 What if every politician who is tired went around making such insensitive comments, I could accept your concerns for Hillary Justin, if this was the first time she had made a serious error of judgement, but it is not.
Talent for upsetting 6:27pm on 24 May 2008 I fully agree it will now be a dirty campaign sadly, there is a lot to be said on both sides. Using Hillary's comments in TV ads, how many Voters are going to be impressed by November about what she says??

As I just posted on another thread we have got to see how McCain stands up when he comes up against some real opposition and his recollections about Vietnam differ a lot from witnesses, about how he was rescued and his treatment, selective memories????
