I happen to have my tv on CNN, or turned it on, and saw Lou Dobbs talking about the role of lobbyists in the campaign. Then Lou launches into what is an incredible lie about Senator Barack Obama and lobbyists. The campaign has not taken money from Federal Lobbyists and now has caused the Democratic Party itself to do the same, and the Obama campaign has raised record levels of money in the process.
With all of this, Dobbs continues to spread lie after lie about Obama and is apparently too much of an intellectual coward to have an Obama representative on his show. If I were a guest, I'd eat Dobbs for lunch in a debate.

Dennis Kucinich Asks For NH Vote Recount With Impact On Obama, Clinton, and Media - Video Report
At approximately 7 PM EST, U.S. Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich wrote a letter to New Hampshire Secretary of State William M. Gardner asking Gardner to start recounting votes from Tuesday's hotly contested New Hampshire Primary. That Tuesday even saw Senator Hillary Clinton shock the media by pulling out a close vote, 40.1 percent to 35.7 percent for Senator Barack Obama, and about over 16 percent for John Edwards.
But trouble started the very next morning when voter watch-dog groups like The Citizen's for Legislative Government and a vast number of angry Ron Paul supporters poured over the hand ballots count data, and discovered a major difference between what they got and what the "official" Secretary of State numbers were. The hand count numbers are these: Obama 38.7, Clinton 34.9 percent, with Edwards, Richardson, and Gravel each picking up a higher percentage of the total vote. My video below shows this.
But the big news is that in the hand count Barack Obama comes out on top. Obama wins NH. And this news can throw not only the entire election into chaos, but the way the mainstream media has covered the results, with organizations like CNN and Pew Reseach saying the Obama lost because he was Black.
Well, how does one explain this hand-count result?
Well, we would have to go back to the initial story of the Obama magic. It's still there. I don't believe race was an issue this time around and the numbers do prove it. Also, this problem of the chance of a NH vote count mistake with the Diebold machines was known for several months; it's not sour grapes.
I'm going to update this story in a few.

Media Matters Exposes Wash Posts Dana Milbank As Bad Journalist For Misrepresenting Obama's Heath Care Record
The Washinton Post has a Barack Obama problem. From the untrue Muslim smear article to misquotes, it's clear the Washington Post so badly wants Barack Obama to lose -- and may be working under racist fears -- that it gives displays of bad and unethical journalism in the process.
Consider Dana Milbank.
Dana Milbank is the Washington Post writer who misrepresented Obama's Illinois Health Care record. Media Matters reports..
"Summary: The Washington Post's Dana Milbank wrote that Sen. Barack Obama's "signature legislation as a state senator, the Health Care Justice Act, merely set up a panel to craft a plan," not, as Obama claimed, "expanded health care in Illinois by bringing Democrats and Republicans together, by taking on the insurance industry." In fact, Obama sponsored a bill that expanded health insurance programs for low-income families in Illinois. Following that bill's passage, more than 150,000 additional people reportedly received health insurance through the programs."
Whether it be for old-fashioned racism or lobbyist involvement, or both, The Washington Post is developing a terrible, race-based record of opposition to the Obama campaign. They're afraid, it seems, to give the Senator a fair shake in coverage because they know he can win.
