'business as usual' - an Obama administration would not be a departure in any way

In the end run there probably is little difference between Obama and Clinton. "My primary conclusion is that if Obama were to win higher office, we are unlikely to see a dramatic departure from where US priorities are heading," said Ken Silverstein, the Washington correspondent for Harper's Magazine and an author of a lengthy appraisal of Obama. "In the end the movement behind him is a movement based on him personally." People who support Obama are not that familiar with his politics, says Silverstein. "It's a movement about him rather than a shift in ideology or policies... I hate to use the term 'business as usual' but an Obama administration would not be a departure in any way."

2. I'm curious if there will ever be another thread on DU

where Hillaroids promote their candidate instead of trying to tar another candidate.

16. see my post on Hill's negativity

They don't want to improve their ground game. They think there's magic bullet in some shit they throw.

3. whoever wrote that crap is ignorant. As Frank Rich explained well, the Clinton advisors who signed

on with Obama are the ones who got it right on Iraq.

The ones who stayed with Clinton are the ones who got it wrong.

10. Interesting editing job

From the Guardian link, this paragraph was, for some odd reason, not included in the OP:

"In the final days before last night's vote, Hillary seemed almost panicked, trying to figure out how to fight Obama. She was all over the map. She shifted from right to middle - most famously for the war, then against it. As events unfolded and the campaign shifted away from foreign policy issues, Hillary swerved wildly into territory totally foreign to her - the neo-populist rhetoric of John Edwards."

14. If there'd be little difference between Obama and Clinton, you shouldn't have

a problem supporting him. :P

15. He's never administered anything, so it'll probably be: what do I do?
