IRAN, we're already pre-emptive striking you!

By Vanessa Silverton-Peel

Today the Maddster is hosting The Race for the White House on MSNBC in hour 1 so listen to her man the helm over there.  At the top of hour 2, she's joined by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and investigative reporter for the New Yorker, Mr. Seymour Hersh, who has, yet again, blown the lid further off the Bush Administration's dastardly ambitions for Iran.  Pre-emptive strike anyone?  As if we haven't had enough of those. 

In hour 3, Air America's Senior Political Correspondent, and host of "Politically Direct with David Bender," ... yep, that would be David Bender ... joins us live to discuss the whole "Unity," New Hampshire to "Independence," Missouri, tour of our presumed nominee for the Democratic Party, Barack Obama with a little bit of "very good" and "terrific" word parsing to do...

 It's gonna be a goot one!

Obama on Clark was about message control

I would have liked to hear Obama support Clark's statement because what Clark said was neither a lie nor untrue in any way. However this is about message control and Clark stepped all over it, on a Monday no less. In an ideal world we'd have a media that would focus not on a surrogate who isn't even associated with the campaign, but the Presidential candidate himself. I think Obama played this correctly, he can nuance this later, but he needed to, as much as possible, push Clark's statement out of the way so that HIS message on patriotism can get through.
