MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

BuzzFlash,

Today's political campaigns raise more questions than answers, but the answers are there if people really want to see them. People are being killed every day due to the policies of the US, and the Clintons get angry because people want to see change in US government, and it doesn't include them ... big lawful changes. What gets in the news? Not Iraq. Not the deaths.

For political geeks such as me, making out a speculative vice presidential list is one of the most exciting things about the presidential campaigns.

Now Democrats have had a harder time dealing with this topic. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton can't think about a VP list until they get the nomination. But that won't stop their supporters from their own speculation.

No disrespect to Hillary Clinton, but people ask me who Obama will pick. They figure Clinton and McCain will pick a standard politician to balance what they need from a political standpoint. When they ask about Obama, I tell them that Obama will try to find his own "Al Gore." When Bill Clinton selected Al Gore, it was a controversial pick. How could he select a Senator from a neighboring state? How could he pick someone also so young? But Gore turned out to be a great pick and a great vice president.

If Obama is running a truly different kind of campaign, looking for a truly different kind of leadership, he needs to pick a vice president that sets that tone.

I'll give you time for the laughter to set in.

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT

DNC Press

Washington, DC -- John McCain today brought his effort to reinvent himself for the general election to a new low by misleading the voters on his full record on a holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King. McCain tried to suggest that his opposition to a holiday honoring Dr. King was limited to his 1983 vote against a federal holiday. In reality, McCain maintained his opposition to it until at least 1989, voted against funding for the commission working to promote the King Holiday in 1994, and used divisive language about state's rights to defend himself. McCain even supported Republican efforts to repeal a holiday in his state in 1987.

"It's frankly disingenuous for John McCain to try and reinvent himself for the general election by distorting his record of opposing a holiday honoring Dr. King," said Democratic National Committee Communications Director Karen Finney. "John McCain should be honest about his full record of opposing the federal holiday, opposing a state holiday four years later, using divisive language to defend himself, and voting to cut off funding for the commission working to promote the King holiday as recently as 1994."
