I dreamed a black guy got elected President of the United States. If that is not impossible enough, in the dream hundreds of thousands of people were at the acceptance speech transported to tears or with smiles of joy.

Why even Jesse Jackson was there shedding tears. And on TV Condi Rice had a press conference in which she could hardly hide her joy. Imagine, the Whitehose wifie praising a democrat. Just plain silly. And there was General Colin Power, a Republican as well, nearly in tears himself.

OBAMA vs. CLINTON....AGAIN....It's possible — likely, even — that everyone is tired of conversations about whether Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton would be more effective if they win the presidency. That's doubly true since it's essentially unknowable at this point. But without really taking sides on this, I want to tease out one more thing on this subject, since I think it's a key question for liberal voters this year.

So who would be more effective at moving a progressive agenda forward once they got elected? There are two basic things to think about:

Here is another Fighting Dem lining up behind Wes. General Eaton's Letter to President Bush on Veto It is from VoteVets and there is this diary on dKos about it. Ret. Gen. Paul Eaton's veto rebuttal

SPECIAL PREVIEW FOR CCNers

Join us on Our Bold New Adventure as Fighting-Dems.com continues to support the "Blue Wave" of Fighting Dem Vets in the 2008 election cycle.

It is also the home of the acclaimed Fighting Dems News Service (FDNS) edited by our own Randy Risener to inform the public of issues relating to foreign policy, national security, veterans and military families.

Wes Clark as presidential candidate is the natural leader of the Fighting Dem vets. Jim Webb in the Senate and Sestak in Congress are the on site leaders in the halls of Congress. We know Wes well, and Sestak's leading role in the House has been a recent subject of discussion.

Let's look at a recent article on Senator Webb who will, after all, be in the Senate for three House election cycles ahead. Webb and Sestak are generally also on the same page as Wes regarding Iraq.

According to Jim

Some amazing views here and that is why I posted it. The MSM is clueless about what is ne3eded in a president in its backing of those who have some sort of mass appeal. God help us.

Like a one-day trip to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba will fill out foreign policy experience - check.

And the statement that unlike some of his better-known rivals he lacks foreign policy credentials.

Who? Only Biden, who often sounds like a Wes Clark echo, has any. Hillary - None. Edwards - None. Obama - None.

As you all knwo, Jon Soltz and VoteVets have been supporting our vets in te House, named below. It is not too early for the FEC filing for the first quarter is in 7 days and the Republicans have already targeted them for '08 plannign top notch opponents. We need to laucch their '08 campaings (Webb in the Sentate has four more years, so no problem there). Below is the text of the letter many of us have received from VotreVets.

Dear VoteVets.org Supporter,

Congressmen Joe Sestak, Patrick Murphy, Tim Walz and Chris Carney need your help.

Republican officials operating at the behest of the White House have begun seeking a possible successor to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, whose support among GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill has collapsed, according to party sources familiar with the discussions.
