I will not be in crowds of shouting and energized millions, packed into too small space, for some of the same reasons I am not planning on visiting Gaza soon.
President Elect Obama is doing everything right. He is wise to surround himself with people who can make sure that, when he pulls a lever, something moves.
He is also wise to have consulted with McCain. Sorry, all you haters, but McCain, who won 4 out of every 10 votes cast in this country,
a. has deeper connections to the military than any other losing presidential candidate in memory, and
b. is a traditional hawk leary of half-assed cost-saving measures so can convey those partisan sentiments reliably and
c. is the sole powerful Senate Republican who is untainted by the Bush administration's deep, deep, ugliness.
Second. Appointing H. Clinton was a terrific move. She got virtually as many votes as Obama in the primary.
With Biden, and Hillary, Obama has now cornered the mainstream flight plan of the Democratic Party. He can more afford to move against Pelosi if he absolutely has to, and after winning Lindsay Graham and other future GOP presidential hopefuls, he has made it very hard for anyone to oppose the mandate of the people.
Keep going, good job, thank you, Hooray! Let us know how to aim our efforts to pitch in!
