Georgia on my mind
How many times has President-elect Barak Obama come to Georgia in the past four weeks? Is there really anything more important than having a filibuster-free Senate and a majority in the House? Isn't that where "change" comes from? Does the Transition Team really need micro-management? Are these weeks really better ones to be "down weeks" than the weeks following?
I can't find a good reason for the campaign to have sent 200 campaign staffers and volunteers, who can help with the execution of the GOTV, but not have sent the face, the orater, the head of the Party, the President-Elect, to bring out the base, the ne plus ultra of any run-off.
Are 60 Dems "too many" and 59 Dems "just right"?

President Elect Barack Obama [PEBO] is not interested in real change. He's only interested in faux change - pretend. Frankly, that's what the overwhelming bulk of the Democrats are all about, because if you buy into the system-as-it-is, you are going to get what the system delivers. PEBO's vision of "change" is putting new tread on that system. But it's the system itself that is the problem; our own "success" as humans and Americans is what is destroying us. The more success we have, the worse the overall context becomes. No amount of retread will fix that.
People will do all they can to convince themselves otherwise, but what we need now more than anything else is a real all-four-tires blowout that wrecks the car, blocks the road and makes it blatantly clear that clearing the road only makes matters worse. PEBO is pissing away time, resources and trust.
He's not stupid, so it has to be deliberate.
