This Just Got Weird. And Sad.

What happened here?

When Stars Collide

The Washington Post ran a story this morning noting that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Sen. Hillary Clinton’s (D-NY) campaigns will cross paths this weekend in beautiful Selma, Alabama.

Obama will give the keynote speech at a service honoring the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on March 7, 1965, the site of “Bloody Sunday.”

Obama (D-Ill.) announced several weeks ago that he would deliver the keynote speech at a service honoring the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, joining Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and other veterans of the civil rights movement in marking the historic event.

Well, where there is an Obama these days, there has to be a Clinton.

Reluctant to give any ground to Obama even at this stage of the campaign, Clinton (N.Y.) decided early last week that she, too, would go to Selma this weekend. She arranged a simultaneous appearance at a church just steps away from the one where Obama will speak Sunday morning, and she agreed to accept a civil rights award on behalf of her husband.

On behalf of her husband? No, team Clinton is bringing out the big boy for this appearance.

Late yesterday, after organizers initially said that the former president had not committed to attend, the Clinton campaign announced that he would be making the trip after all.

President Clinton is showing up to help Hillary after news that Sen. Obama has been gaining ground with black voters in a newly released ABC News/Washington Post poll.

This should be interesting. Stay tuned for weekend coverage of the events in Alabama. Maybe Hillary and Barack can share a flight, or maybe even carpool together.

Go Home Mike…

Check out this YouTube video of Ohio Senator Mike DeWine (R) greeting the voters at a campaign stop in Lorain County.

Sen. DeWine’s rubber stamp has just about dried out. It looks like Rep. Sherrod Brown (D) will defeat him on November 7th. The polls for Rep. Brown look good!

This is what a campaign with momentum looks like in the final days!

Darfur Rally Over

For the past number of weeks I have been fully consumed with planning “Save Darfur Now: Rally to Stop Genocide.”

The Rally was a tremendous event yesterday and I hope that it showed the American Government that we need them to do more to help the innocent people being slaughtered everyday in Sudan.

With that said, I am happy to be finished and back to work full time on DoubleSpeak…Stay tuned for our best episodes yet!
