Hillary’s Growing Shadow (by PatRacimora at No Quarter)

The more the DNC and Obama ignore a candidate who deserves her day, the more they drag their feet about what to do with her, the larger and larger the shadow over Obama grows. Denver may end up being more about Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clinton Will Be Put Up for Nomination (Political Wire )
Sen. Hillary Clinton’s name will be put up for nomination at the Democratic National Convention, according to Marc Ambinder. “Within the past week, Clinton advisers informed the Obama team that many of Clinton’s staunchest supporters felt strongly that something had to be done, and that Clinton had concluded that, in part for the sake of unity, their wishes ought to be respected. They heard back immediately: the Obama campaign had always been open to having her name placed in nomination alongside his.” However, “the exact choreography has not been worked out.”
They’ve always been open. Uh huh.—Caro

Pew Research: Presidential Race Draws Even (Political Wire)
According to a new Pew Research poll, Sen. Barack Obama’s national lead over Sen. John McCain has disappeared. The race is now a statistical tie, with Obama barely edging McCain, 46% to 43%. In late June, Obama held an eight point lead. Two reasons for the shift: McCain “is garnering more support from his base — including Republicans and white evangelical Protestants — than he was in June, and he also has steadily gained backing from white working class voters over this period.” McCain “has made gains on his leadership image. An even greater percentage of voters than in June now see McCain as the candidate who would use the best judgment in a crisis, and an increasing percentage see him as the candidate who can get things done.”
And they’ve only barely gotten started on their use of sleaze and warmongering.—Caro

Georgia War a Neocon Election Ploy? (by Robert Scheer at TruthDig)
Is it possible that this time the October surprise was tried in August, and that the garbage issue of brave little Georgia struggling for its survival from the grasp of the Russian bear was stoked to influence the U.S. presidential election?
With Bush-Cheney-Rove, ANYTHING is possible.—Caro
