"I won't have as much restraint with the republicans."

For anyone who still doubts that Barack is the best guy to take on John McCain then the following clip is a must see: Barack Obama on November's Contest.
This is a great tactic, one he should put into high gear.
Say that I'm not going to trash Hillary, a respected member of my party, but I will tear McCain to shreds. I've done this well playing nice, imagine what I can do when I take the gloves off.
Exactly! This tactic more than answers the question: Can this guy do more than take a punch?
I'm so frickin' psyched for the General!
are we gonna be able to stop Barak Obama once he starts beating on mccain ???
mccain is a "Target Rich Environment"
his current wife is a CONVICTED thief and JUNKIE
his current girlfriend is a lobbyist who can't keep her mouth shut about the "influence" she has over her pet
and mccain dumped his first wife for the greener pastures offered by the junkie-thief wife
have I got that all straight ???
and don't even get me started on the pretzel-like bankrupt morality that this snakeoil salesman calls his "principles"
once Obama starts on mccain, there aint gonna be a way to stop the horror
i'm sorry but that response from obama does not fly. you get your arse trumped and stand their wilting. once all the talking heads start you start yelling well i did not fight in the debate but i will fight in the general. give me a break...he came off as a wimp noddle. just as he does here in illinois often by giving ground on all the issues. his whinning comes across like a wimp and john mccain will have him for breakfast. i am a woman and i see weakness and fear in his eyes in his response to the debate the other night as well and disbelief that someone would question him this way.
as i said before this will be the first time in my life that my family will be voting republican if obama is the candidate. let's hurry and get mccains four years over so that we can look for a new democrat to run.
Troll. Ignore.
I guess you are not one of those women who is voting for Clinton--in any part--out of female solidarity. Otherwise, I can't imagine how you could vote for a man who laughed when Clinton was called a b*tch and who called his own wife a c*nt in front of staffers.
But if you'd rather have four years of more war, more tax breaks for the ultra-rich, more pro-lifers on the court, more deregulation of the banking industry, more executive power grabs, more torture and erosion of due process--rather than the horror of a man in whose eyes you saw "weakness and fear"--go ahead. But consider this: perhaps what you saw in his eyes was sadness and frustration that America may yet again be so mesmerized by the sideshow that they fail to notice their country is being looted.
Politics Progressive conservative. I believe we need governing policies that are based in common sense and not dogma. An evolution of society and not a revolution that seeks to tear everything down and start from scratch. We don't have enough time for that nonsense.
Favorites
Favorite Blogs TPM. Much easier to get everything in one place than visiting a million blogs every day. Who has time for that?
Favorite Books Too many to list. Reading The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson. Just finished the Squandering of America by Robert Kuttner. Probably the best explanations of our issues and some possible solutions for them.
Favorite Quotes "A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom." - Thomas Paine, Common Sense
"It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things." - Teddy Roosevelt
Bio
I started my professional life as a union carpenter in Reno before joining the United States Navy in 1991 as an assistant ship's journalist and a deck seaman. I covered high-profile events around the globe, from Hurricane Andrew disaster in 1992 to the discovery of USS Yorktown off of Midway Island with Bob Ballard in 1998. My final tour of duty at Combat Camera Group Pacific was as a field producer in support of a worldwide mission of military documentary production.
I left the Navy in 2001 and moved across the country to start my first business with my long-time best friend Mikah Sellers. We started a specialized communications firm in Washington DC called Hancuff Miller. After a short but successful partnership, we both decided to pursue other opportunities following the Dot.com Bomb. I spent the next several years as a freelance multimedia designer, web developer and screenwriter. I also wrote five feature-length scripts during this time, earning a bachelors degree in graphics and multimedia design from Capella University and a Masters in Producing for Film & Video at American University.
In 2006, I gathered together my educational background, technical tools and business acumen to start my second company, Metamorphosis Media, with Marcus Scott. The company completed a number of projects for non-profit clients such as Academy of Hope, Mosaica and the Conservation Fund. It was at Metamorphosis that I discovered the enormous benefit that technology and story-telling could provide to the non-profit, charity and NGO communities. I maintain a relationship with Metamorphosis as a senior consultant with the firm, but no longer support their day-to-day operations.
I live with my wife and two dogs in Washington DC. My extracurricular activities include filmmaking, screenwriting and blogging.
