| It can end easy or it can end hard.
Easy would be by preparing her supporters for accepting that the race is essentially over; hard would be by signalling that there will be a credential fight for seating the Michigan and Florida delegations.
We should get a sense of which path she has chosen later today or in the next few days. |

On the fifth anniversary of this classic photo op, with the war still raging and over 4050 killed in Iraq, let's look back at what pundits were saying about this bit of staged propaganda. Surely, they were appalled by the obviously phony theatrics and critical of Bush's premature proclamation of success. Not!
It's enough to make you barf. Anyone who takes what any of these lying sacks of hot air say seriously should get help immediately.
David Gergen on Fox "news" with Greta Van Susteren: "Well, it was a stunning backdrop. I don't -- you know, Greta, I've watched the choreography of presidential events for a long time and participated in a few. I can't remember an event as spectacular, as stunning as this, as impressive as this, since Richard Nixon returned from China 30 years ago."
Newt Gingrich on Fox "news" with Sean Hannity: "Well, somebody reminded me this afternoon of the movie Independence Day, which has a fighter pilot who becomes president of the United States. And in a sense, this afternoon you were reminded that this is a man who has served as a fighter pilot in the Texas National Guard, who has been prepared to fight for his country. Landing on the carrier must have reminded him of his father's career, also, having been, I think, the youngest pilot in the U.S. Navy in the Second World War."

| The Stoughton Democratic Town Committee had a field trip to the John F. Kennedy Library Museum. After the Museum tour we went for lunch at the Phillips Old Colony House. The luncheon conversation at my table quickly turned to the upcoming elections. Of course that's what happens when you get like minded people together in the same room. The group has both Clinton and Obama, supporters and maybe a Gore supporter too.
One of the members of the SDTC seated at my table, that attends a Black church brought up Reverend Jeremiah Wright. She thought his recent behavior maybe a symptom caused because he was getting a little senile. Someone else thought he was just getting as much as the limelight as he could, or maybe becoming a little stage-struck, or looking for his last hurrah before he retires.
The subject of Rev. Wright and his comments on HIV and AIDS came up. One of my dinner companions thought that he was totally bizarre on that subject. I personally think that Wright may have a basis for his feelings on the AIDS virus.
There are some theories of the polio vaccines being responsible for HIV. The polio vaccine is manufactured by using the tissues of chimpanzees. The vaccines are being contaminated by the virus and then being transmitted to people. |

| Sometimes events and statements crystallize to focus attention on a subject in a new way and that would be US foreign policy: John McCain's tacit admittance that the US involvement in the Iraq War was brought about by our dependence on foreign oil and then the superb article in The Nation dealing with startling developments in the Defense Department and State Department in how our country is realigning our foreign policy around commodity access( diminishing the importance about fighting 'idealogies' a la communism). As the article mentions Admiral Mahan, a name familar to any out there who took an interest in US History and the early 20th century, I couldn't help but think that everything 'old is new again'.
Or did it ever go out of fashion? The emphasis that Adm. Mahan placed on establishing American colonies to set up access to raw materials and markets - did it ever really get displaced?
The Nation article is a MUST read and can be found here
It would be nice to have some discussion about this on the campaign trail( or even here will do).
