Terry McAuliffe got exposed for the fraud that he is when it was revealed that he warned Carl Levin in 2004 that there was no way in hell that any MI delegates would bet anywhere near the floor if Mi moved its primary in 2004. “Rules are rules” he said, and if they started letting states move up their primaries it would be impossible to manage the campaigns, or something to that effect. But now, when Clinton didn’t have the integrity to keep her name off the ballot, so only her votes would count, she wants those cherry picked votes to count. So 2000.

Thanks Leo, I repsect your priciples. I’m not Clinton fan either so it would be great to see Obama get a fair shot at McCain in November. Unfortuatly, whatever happens with Democrat nominee there will always be a cloud because of the FL and MI votes, which is really neither canadidate’s fault. I must admit Hillary is doing a good job at staying in it, and oddly Rev Wright is helping her as he speaks in his own defense. These upcoming primaries will be interesting to see if Obama really lost traction as appeared to be the case in PA.

George, while flattery usually will get you everywhere, I more likely than not will not support McCain. However, if Hillary is the nominee, I will probably not vote in the presidential race. I will not vote for someone who plays the game Hillary plays. I have my principles, man. I think she’d set back the progressive agenda and bring about a right wing backlash, just as she and Bill did in 1994. I’ll confine myself to voting in other races this November if she’s the Democratic nominee. (At the same time, McCain’s tax policies would be in my short-term economic interest. I’m happy to vote against my short-term economic self interest if I see long term dividends for everyone. I see that with Obama. Not with Hillary.)

Leo, you are correct about the gas holiday, just political smoke and mirrors. The Bush tax checks are coming this week and people can spend the money as they wish, rather than give a direct subsisidy at the pump that could go to big oil, or gas stations that also rape consumers for $.50 air. Many don’t drive or are frugal about how they do consume gas, so why give a tax break to someone driving a Hummer? Give the Hummer driver and the Prius driver a tax rebate and let them decide how to spend it. Hey Leo, if Barrack loses will you support Mccain? we can use some smart guys. Barrack just unloaded on Rev Wright and threw him under the bus. I wonder if today’s developments will give Larry enough courage to fianlly denounce Rev Wright as an anti-Semite, after all now Obama has, so it’s probably safe.

Today, several economists have pointed at McCain’s and Clinton’s suggestion of a “gas tax” holiday as being economically unsound pandering. While the tax is $.18 per gallon (or about $1.50 on a fill up for most cars), lifting the tax would not reduce demand. Nor would it guarantee that oil companies would pass savings on to consumers. Prices would increase as demand increases this summer. The $.18 difference would go straight to the oil companies and foreign governments selling us oil. Meanwhile, we’d be passing up an important source of revenue for infrastructure maintenance, which yields thousands of good-paying jobs. All to save about $20-40 over the course of the summer. Hillary’s empty promise pandering ultimately hurts the working class. Way to go, Hillary! (And why is it that Hillary opposed such tax holidays on gas in the past but throws them out now like they’re going out of style? Because she’s an inveterate opportunist who doesn’t actually care about anything other than being elected.)

By the way Jack, if your party had any balls, they would have told her to go home before Texas for the good of the party. If she gets screwed, it won’t be by her party. Same can’t be said about Obama. He will get screwed by his party if they admit Florida and Michigan delegates, allow Superdelegates to vote on “gift money” alone and allow this nomination to become a free-for-all on the convention floor.

For those regular bloggers who are looking to get ahead of Larry, here are his next 6 blog titles:
1) Hitch’in my wagon to Fast Eddie Rendell’s ‘rising star’. Fact or fiction?
2) Just when you thought Jimmy Carter had gone away quietly, he he sticks his nose into the abyss of the Middle East.
3) Reverend Wright – Mensa or menace?
4) The Brave New World of Larry Kane – riding SEPTA at night!
5) Why is there air (and why should we have to pay for it)?
6) Jack Russell – Clinton lapdog or closet Rightwinger?
