Not sure Trippi is the guy you want if you're planning on winning.

My. This is awkward. For Trippi.

The real netroots already support Cal Cunningham from what I can tell.

And he doesn't have to "hire" anyone to make an introduction.

Lewis should have saved that money and talked to real bloggers, then made a free account on ActBlue. I'm starting to wonder who's funding this fantasy?

Obama Knows His Way around a Ballot by David Jackson & Ray Long, Chicago Tribune http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-070403obama-ballot,0,1843097.story?,page=1
Some say his ability to play political hardball goes back to his first campaign….His overwhelming legal onslaught signaled his impatience to gain office, even if that meant elbowing aside an elder stateswoman like Senator Alice Palmer…Obama’s first campaign clouds the image he has cultivated throughout his political career…first entered public office not by leveling the playing field, but by clearing it…

…Leader of the Kenyan Orange Democratic Movement opposition leader, Raila Odinga, is Barack Obama’s cousin…wants to be president…two of Kenya’s tribes…are killing each other over a disputed election that Odinga, Obama’s cousin, claims was stolen from him…Former Clinton aides currently working for Obama…directed Dick Morris to Kenya to advise the Odinga campaign in November of 2007, shortly after Odinga visited with Obama in America. Morris was an extremely divisive factor in the Kenyan elections…Kenya currently teeters on the edge of political chaos and civil war…

Now which Democratic presidential candidate has positive and effective foreign policy experience?

By the end of the week, yes. Tomorrow is Thomas Wright, Thursday's the gubernatorial debate, and Pat McCrory is out there, somewhere...

Good night. Thanks for reading.

I'm really shocked that everyone's acting like he did badly in Iowa. He beat Hillary. I know some predicted he would do that & even better, but it was never a done deal. He could have come in third and it wouldn't have been a huge surprise. Slow & steady...

This is a North Carolina political blog. He's a North Carolina politician. There really isn't much more to it than that.

Thanks for reading!

Why does the N&O always lavish such attention on Edwards - he doesn't even poll first in his own, adopted state...

Spotted in Thursday's New York Times Style section:

A nifty "Elizabeth Edwards '08 For First Lady" button.
