Ok Everyone, It's Time
All the infighting has been fun but if you got today's email from David Plouffe then you know.

In an effort to restore Democracy to the United States our new party leader Barack Obama has declared that the DNC will no longer take lobbyist, PAC money

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jvG1XWiPC5IjZQjGrvdVqEW8tRqgD9140SA81

So what do the corporate lobbyists and PACs do? Run to McCain of course, he's the only option they have left.

From Plouffe's email:
In the excitement of the past few days, there's some news you may have missed.

John McCain and the Republican National Committee released their fundraising numbers for May, and we've got our work cut out for us.

The McCain campaign raised $21 million, which will be combined with $23.7 million raised in partnership with the Republican National Committee.

That's nearly $45 million dollars in one month -- money that will be used to attack Barack Obama and support John McCain's effort to extend the policies of George W. Bush for another four years.


So this is it, the revolution is on, the time is now. It's a free country, but if you spend your time whining about Hillary Clinton (or whining about how Hillary Clinton didn't win) you'll be sorry .. in the words of Humphrey Bogart

Maybe not now but soon and for the rest of your life.

1. Obama is right and I am pleased he is doing this.
It's time our government took down the "For Sale" sign down on Congress and the White House and this is a first step, and a very courageous one as well.
