Texas Latina Calls for Obama Volunteers for San Antonio GOTV

If Hillary is winning the Texas women, Latinos--and, of course, most Latinas, how is it that I keep coming across so many pro-Obama Texan Latinas?

Jeannette is yet another young woman doing her part to get Senator Barack Obama elected president of the United States. Unlike the "telenovela sheeple" preferred by the party hacks feeding off the Clinton wagon train, Jeannette is an inspired, active and smart young woman who's investing her time and talents to the cause of uplifting Tejanos, Texas and America.

Here's a message from my new friend Jeannette:

We need volunteers for get out the vote in San Antonio. Please help!!! Viva Obama! Contact Jeannette at jeannette998@sbcglobal.net thanks!!!

Yes, Viva Obama!!!! Viva Jeannette!!!! Viva Tejas!!!!

Obama Song Portait: We Are The Change

A link to this video was part of Anne Villa's comment in response to today's Houston Chronicle story entitled Poll: McCain and Obama lead in Texas. I reposted for American Taino readers to feel a bit of the pride, joy and excitement Senator Barack Obama's presidential candidacy has brought to people everywhere including young Latinos such as Anne Villa of Texas.

I love the video producer's tag line: We are the Hope for the Future - YES WE CAN!

Enjoy. Si, Se Puede!

I am so proud of Obama, so thrilled that I'm alive to experience this point in our history. I can't wait until he is President; I look forward to the fresh, healing breath of air he will be for our country and the rest of the world. Hard as the media etc keeps trying (on Morning Joe, Pat Buchanan advised Hillary she should 'drop a bomb on him'!) they can't stop him - because they cannot stop the hopes and ambitions of the American people; those hopes and ambitions are what Barack is going to empower. Finally, we the COMMON people will also have someone in our corner - all across America we are COMING TOGETHER despite all the fake bomb scares Barack's adversaries can contrive.

CHECK THIS OUT AND GET EVEN MORE FIRED UP:
NEW - on YOUTUBE "OBAMA SONG PORTRAIT: WE ARE THE CHANGE by Bjarne O."

As the composer, Bjarne O., writes:

"I combined Latino Rhythms, Chinese Erhu, African- and Native-American Voices with the Contemporary Symphonic Orchestra - in the great spirit of Unity - for this Song in support of Obama's great and true message: "Our Time Has Come; We the People are the Change we've all been waiting for. We are the Hope for the Future - YES WE CAN."

Devil at Hillary's Rally

What campaign for president would ever allow their candidate to hold a rally under the gaze of the devil?

Unbelievable! Certainly, the $135 million (and counting) Hillary campaign has a squadron of advance people to scout and prepare her venues. So what gives?

There's more. Not only was there this large devil hovering behind Hillary's head, but stretched across the stage was a large banner that read "Devil Pride".

Of course, the St. Clairsville, Ohio locals thought nothing of it since the devil is unfortunately the local high school's mascot, but the Clintonistas can not be happy projecting a message of Hillary as devil. Or are they?

BTW: Her theme is "ready on day one". Sure, but who the hell is managing the campaign?

Imagine Obama--Yes We Can! (David Archuleta American Idol)

This clever video by SyliCast brings together the awesome voice of American Idol favorite--and Latino--David Archuleta, a timeless and evocative hit of the Beetles, and the phenom that is Obama. Pretty nifty combo. See her YouTube channel for many more creative and provocative pieces.

(BTW: SyliCast, aren't all Latinas supposed to vote Hillary? You're dangerous to the status quo.) Imagínese! Si, Se Puede!

Viva Obama - The Ohio Remix

This video by AkronPorObama is the Ohio Buckeye response to "¡Viva Obama!". It's good humor.

Ohio Primary: Workers for Obama Ad

The Race: Thoroughbred Obama vs Hillary the Mare

This chart is a composite of some 160 preference polls conducted over the last year. It demonstrates visually what so many of us have known is our gut: it's never really been much of a race between Hillary and Obama.

Check out the data.

For example, Obama's climb started back in October--some three months before the Iowa Caucuses. Observe how the trajectory of rise rocketed beginning in early December of '07. It was that momentum that explains his "surprising" triumph in the snowy plains of Iowa in early January.

So even though the media has tried to generate a horse-race between Hillary and Obama, the truth is that one never really materialized. The Hillary candidacy has been stalled from almost day one--kept aloft only by her superior name recognition, spin by her campaign, and the media's desire for a horse race.

Of the three Democratic competitors tracked by the polls, Edwards is the gelding that starts with a limp and is quickly scratched. Hillary is the mare who's only a trotter. And Obama is the thorough bred that forces a quicker pace, drafts, then turns it on in the backstretch and wins by a number of lengths.

Granted the primaries are not yet over and all sorts of things can happen to shake up the race between now and the primaries in Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island. But then again, the chart does remind us that this race is really between a mare and a thoroughbred.

Who Won the MSNBC Ohio Democratic Presidential Debate? Democratic Nominee-To-Be Barack Obama

The Ohio Democratic Presidential Debate is over and it was not a good night for Hillary. Her campaign's negativity and race-baiting was exposed. Her flip-flop on NAFTA was laid bare. And her inconsistency on the Iraq War was, again, made painfully clear.

(Although new ground was broken when Hillary camethisclose to taking responsibility for authorizing the Iraq War.)

Additionally, Hillary's effort to denigrate Obama's plan for health care fell flat, and she was unable to answer why she's not released her financial and schedule records as First Lady.

Hillary also lost big points in response to a few unexpected questions re: successor and Minister Farrakhan's views. She jumped at Russert's Putin question and then flubbed it by mangling First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. And then she inexplicably jumped into a question to Obama regarding Farrakhan--a moment which ackwardly concluded with Obama agreeing to Hillary's demand that he reject that which he'd already denounced. Very weird.

However, Hillary's worst moment came right at the top of the debate when she both whined about getting the first question--and then went on to say that she's fine asnwering first. What? It was a very strange and confusing moment--one which the talking heads afterwards couldn't figure out since most debaters prefer to go first in order to frame the debate.

Bottom line? Obama was masterful, in control, presidential. Hillary was, well, Hillary.
