Light text on dark back is awful. I blame Dr. no.

[Joeaksa]

Tabs,

Paragraphs make it a lot easier to read. I get about two or three lines in and thats it...

[tabs]

Well Joey that won't happen again. This time it was because of the formating that the orginal was written on. Right now I am so sloppy, I am writng and posting at such a rapid rate.

The Democratic split between Obama and Clinton is not ideological. It is a factional split between the northeast establishment liberals and the Southern DLC insurgents. In other words, the Kennedy faction versus the Clinton faction.

[tabs]

MRM...it is demographic, and in that difference is an ideological split. African Americans, Young People, highly educated upper class Libs want different things than Blue Collars, Women, Older People, Jews and Rural. Older people don't want change because they are afraid they are going to lose what little they already have. Young People want change so that they can have something.

The lesser educated blue collar white guy ain't goin to vote for Obama. All those people are going to right over to the Dem in Republican clothing. John McCAin.

The Reps are going to marginalize Obama as being an extremist that you can't trust. Tie him to Louis Farrakhan and Obama loses the Jewish vote and their money. Big blow... Put Lieberman as McCains VP.....

When was the last time a Kennedy faction candidate made it to the Presidency. Ahhhh never.

Tabs is trying to get famous, or is it infamous... and the whole world does not come to the PPOT!

Tabdula, pls grow in stature, not girth. We like you in your new "slimmer trimmer" format!

[Mo_Gearhead]

Leave him alone!

Look ...the man is just trying to get hits on his blog.
Traffic up = eventual advertisers/fame/recognition/riches ...blah blah blah.

At that point ...he will disavow ever knowing us!

I thought most blogs were by lame ass, spiked hair, gen x & y'ers. But I guess you can be any age.

yeah, R click, copy, then paste it here

more like 1968 for the dimocrats if you ask me

I agree the white on dark background is a PITA to read.

And the post about liberals is really silly. "Crying foul while eating the fruit?" WTF? "Toes getting stepped on?" You really think that's the issue?

You need to leave Las Vegas from time to time. See the world beyond the buffets and gaming tables.

The Charlie Rose forum is calling you Tabs.

[Rot 911]

Tabs, how much of what is on your blog is your own writing or the writing of others? If it belongs to someone else you should say so in your blog.

[Tobra]

I clicked over twice, your welcome

I suspect that a link to your blog in your sig would be appropriate.

If you want to drive traffic to your site you need to start having links all over the web with relevant content on the pages you are linking from. Use the comment section on news articles online and post something smart and make sure to add a link to your blog.

Register with other forums and post interesting stuff and have your blog link there too. Start posting on nutball forums (stormfront or crap like that) and argue with those morons, they'll come to your blog and get all fired up.

Add links to other similar blogs that you like on a links section of your site (typically on the side of the main page). Then ask that person to add yours to their site. Keep them on even if they dont put yours on... show good will.

Its a lot of work. I mentioned it before, but you should really take some writing classes or pay some english/poly sci hottie at the local college to review/critique your stuff. I'm damn near illiterate and I like some of your insight, but find it an awkward read.

I'm rooting for you tabs. You can do it...

Tabs, your analysis confuses cause with effect. Clinton isn't the candidate of the white disenfranchised, she just morphed into that when it became clear that was the only avenue open to her. Up until a month ago she was the insider with experience, the second half of the two-for-one ticket. It wasn't until she figured out that poor whites had a problem with Obama and he made the bitter white guys with guns comment that she became the whiskey slugging good ol' girl that she is today. Obama didn't go into the race to represent the white wine and brie crowd, he just draws from them better. He's the agent of change and he's not Hillary Clinton, which puts him on Ted Kennedy's team.

There isn't a dime's worth of difference between them on the issues or ideology. The only difference is whose team they're on. This is an interfamilly dispute where the only issue is whether his team or hers ends up wining the nomination. A lot of people bought a ticket on Hillary early on because they wanted to be on the winning side. The folks who were left behind put their money down on Obama, hoping to follow him on his way up. The split between them may follow age, sex, race or income lines, but the only difference is which horse that group of people put their money on, and which ticket pays off at the end.

Good post. Absolutely correct IMHO.

I've seen lots of sites that use light text and a dark background that are really hard on the eyes, but Tabs did a decent job on his. It's not hard to read, looks decent, and is not hard on the eyes.

Looks like the Democrats are homing in for a classic Greek tragedy.
