Why It's Got To Be Obama
Before I post this article on why it's got to be Obama, I want to point out that Cenk has been very fair to Hillary. Before you (Hillary supporters) decide to write him off for supporting Obama, please watch this short YouTube clip from Friday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AffVsYrSKSs&eurl

Also, keep in mind there will be multiple co-hosts for tonight's incredible Super Tuesday Coverage, including *at least* one Hillary supporter. So don't worry either way about watching coverage that's blatantly to one side or the other.

Here is the updated, amazing guest list (all times are EST):

SCHEDULE
4:00 Liveblog starts
6:00 Video starts, Senator Sherrod Brown
6:20 Senator Ted Kennedy
7:10 Anna Burger, SEIU
7:30 Joe Garofoli, San Francisco Chronicle
7:40 Dolores Huerta
7:50 Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood
8:10 Melody Barnes, CAP Action Fund
8:50 Jane Hamsher, Firedoglake
9:00 Howard Dean, DNC
9:30 Senator Barbara Boxer
9:40 Eli Pariser, MoveOn.org
10:00 Alexandra Acker, Young Democrats
10:10 Joe Conason, Salon.com
10:20 Trailer Premiere, This Brave Nation
10:30 Katrina vanden Heuvel, The Nation
11:30 Todd Beeton, MyDD
11:40 Keith Boykin/Malia Lazu, Daily Voice
12:00 Joan McCarter, Daily KOS
12:20 Arianna Huffington, The Huffington Post

This is going to be some truly great Super Tuesday Coverage simulcast at http://bravenewfilms.org/network/5-super-tuesday and www.theyoungturks.com (BNF.org also has a live chat, live blogging, live polling and regular updates, sometimes *faster* than the particular network you'd normally watch). Ok, here's the new article on Obama:


It's Got To Be Obama
By Cenk Uygur

At this late juncture, are we really going to turn back to the establishment? Are we going to hand the reigns of power back to the people we already know can only give us limited results?

Don't get me wrong, I loved the Clinton presidency. But that was a different time. A time for school uniforms and triangulation that brought you balanced budgets. Now, triangulation means you invade two random Middle Eastern countries instead of five. We can't afford that kind of triangulation...

8. I do have very good reasons for not owning one
I'm 26, My sister's 29 and has a couple, my dad will be 65 and being an early apple lover, he's got one.... I will not be surprised if he got a wafer thin apple laptop now.

And my parents, Irish immigrants sincs 1977, became citizens in 2000, are hardly the "iPod generation."

7. I'd say it's dismissive and laughable
but we're on the same page.
