Obama might be staging a Coup - a Corporate Coup made up of Media, Leftist Academics, and Corporate Opportunists who own the Media. That was a thought posed by a low level government employee at this morning's coffee session. Interesting thought.
'Look, Obama cried Voter Suppression against Hillary in January! It worked. Obama cried 'Racism!' every chance he got against Clinton. It worked. He cried guilt by association with the Wright Stuff and it worked great. The Media knocks down any and all charges against the guy, before the questions are asked of him. A real National Three-Card Monte!'
Could be. Sure enough CNN's Candy Crowley reported on Voter Suppression - Obama cries foul and tips off the Refs before anything takes place.
The story
A prominent supporter of Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday compared Bill Clinton's appeals for his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, in South Carolina to the tactics used by a former Republican strategist that are infamous within Democratic circles.
When asked about the comparison, the former president reacted with disapproval, saying it was a distraction from what voters really cared about.
In an interview with CNN, Dick Harpootlian, a former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party and an Obama backer, said some of Clinton's recent remarks on the campaign trail were appeals based on race and gender, meant to "suppress the vote, demoralize voters and distort the record."
Could be a Coup. We'll see Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. I have faith in the American voter.

Of course! Read Obama: The Postmodern Coup-The Making of a Manchurian Cndidate by Webster G. Tarpley who has also just penned a huge unauthorized biography of Barkey
Both books show that this is a coup funded by Wall Street, Hedge funds,Trilateralists,criminals, Foundations, and intelligence agencies and their privatezed minions. Yes of course the media.

RETENTION BALLOT:
The Illinois Committee for Honest Government, after evaluating the record of the five Judges of the Appellate Court seeking retention for another 10-year term, endorses each of them and recommends a “YES” vote for Appellate Court Judges Michael J. Gallagher (1st District), Margaret Stanton McBride (1st), Robert D. McLaren (2nd), Sue E. Myerscough (4th) and Richard P. Goldenhersh (5th). (Please remember that since these judges run on their own records, and not against partisan opposition, each judge must receive at least 60% “YES” votes in order to be retained.)
We also endorse the retention candidacies of the 78 Circuit Court Judges seeking another six-year term from Circuits outside of Cook County across the state. They have acquitted themselves well and each merits a “YES” vote from the electorate on November 4.
Of the 68 remaining judges on the retention ballot, seeking another six-year term as a Cook County Circuit Court Judge, the ICHG supports the retention of 63 of them. However, five Circuit Court Judges have been found wanting by us, and we recommend a “NO” vote for each of them:
Evelyn Clay – NO!
Vanessa Hopkins – NO!
Edward Pietrucha – NO!
Casandra Lewis – NO!
Sheila McGinnis – NO!
CON-CON QUESTION
Under the provisions of the Illinois Constitution, the question of whether or not to hold a State Constitutional Convention is required to appear on the ballot every 20 years. This year Illinois voters will have that opportunity, and the ICHG strongly endorses a “YES” vote on the question of calling for a convention.
It is painfully evident that there will be no real reform of Illinois government in our lifetime without at least a number of overhauls in the state constitution. Those in power will not make those changes, so we must take this action on November 4 and vote “YES” for a State Constitutional Convention.
IMPEACH ROD BLAGOJEVICH
ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error... The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, one day, polling. He is beginning to cut into Obama's lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all...
