A guy posted this in comments, re obama:

"Have you caught the free plugs for Obama everywhere. On Lifetime, they ran a self-promoting ad for 'Army Wives,' followed by Obama soliciting donations to Lifetime's charity for real-life army wives. The 'entertainment news' shows seem to be giving him regular time too."

wow! obama dude has quite a PR team. Is this a new wrinkle in the running for office game? whoever he hired to get his mug on the TeeVee like that seems to be doing something new here. Is this a new way to get free face time with the public? if it is, fucking genius.

gotta admit: makes my skin crawl. but, otoh, gotta admit: means the democrats have a candidate that ain't fucking around about winning.

speaking of, the other day i read this, which i thought was accurate. there's not much of a grass roots movement behind obama. it was all generated by facebook, which ain't saying much, and the rest was just good old top down organizing. and i wouldn't be surprised if the facebook things wasn't something _they_ initiated.

later,
