Why Barack Obama really is "the One"

Wed Jul 30, 2008 at 05:19:20 PM PDT

Having some fun in my head, remembering my fasincation with numerology and occultism, I started counting up Obama's birthdate -- 8/4/61. Follow me after the jump to see what I found...

Enough is enough. Can we stop now?

Okay people, we've had a good rant, but this is getting out of control.

It's time for Obama," according to a great olive-branch of an article in the Boston Globe about rallying around the front runner.

Obama: If the "100 Club" Dinner is any indication...

Fri Jan 04, 2008 at 07:05:34 PM PDT

We might be witnessing a 50-state sweep for Obama from Iowa, to NH and beyond. The NYTimes captures the excitement well:

MILFORD, N.H. — Spontaneous combustion! We’re here at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s big dinner and out of the masses of 3,000 people, who have been listening politely to Dennis Kucinich, Hillary Clinton and Bill Richardson, comes a huge surge of people toward the stage for the next speaker — Barack Obama.

An announcer tries to get them back to their seats. "For safety concerns, before we can proceed, please take your seats," says a disembodied voice. A mild buzz kill. The crowd moans but doesn’t really disperse. Then Mr. Obama strides to the podium, the crowd remains packed around the stage and the room is electrified.

"O-ba-ma, O-ba-ma," they roar.

It seems that some prominent Montgomery County, PA Republicans are worried about their Brand. Referring to AG Gonzales in a letter faxed to the President, they lament that Abu has lost the public trust. And, of course, they know first hand that there is "nothing more important" than the public being able to trust their elected officials. The letter was signed by District Attorney Bruce Castor, who is now a candidate for commissioner, County Commissioner Jim Matthews (brother of Tweety) who is running for re-election, and one Risa Vetri Ferman, the first assistant D.A., who is seeking to succeed Castor.

It seems that GOP strategists  worry that mere association with the White House could be a drag on the ticket and cost the party control of the county courthouse. Incredibly (or not), our entire judicial system has been compromised through partisan politicization, and all these Montco Republicans are worried about is their own skin.

After finding out about the letter faxed to President Bush, the head of the local Democratic party cuts to the chase and calls out Castor and  Matthews (Tweety's brother) on their blatent hypocrisy:
