Jack Cashill has more evidence for his claim Barack Obama didn't write Dreams from My Father all by himself but had substantial help from Bill Ayers.

Campaign Notes.

Because of Obama's extremely narrow base ala George McGovern in 1972, states like Ohio and Florida would be out of reach for him in November, which is another reason why Hillary Clinton or somebody else should be the presidential nominee for the Democrats.

Chicago politics are what made Barack Obama, and Chicago politics could break him if Democrats are crazy enough to make him the nominee.

Moreover, his "transformative" politics aka Kumbaya Politics is so much horseshit, I refused to back him from the get-go. It shows an appalling lack of knowledge about how far to the right the opposition is and tells me he would further their ends in order to appease them.

Forget him. At least with the awful McCain you know what you are getting. With Obama, he's nothing but a fraud.

And he is posed to wreck the Democratic Party for years.

Contrary to Tons of Propaganda

that public schools needed "competition" in the form of charter schools, at least in one state most of them have proven to be total failures.

Gov. Ted Strickland said he wanted to carry out his own crackdown.

“Perhaps somewhere, charter schools have been implemented in a defensible manner, where they have provided quality,” he said. “But the way they’ve been implemented in Ohio has been shameful. I think charter schools have been harmful, very harmful, to Ohio students.”

Some 4,000 charter schools now operate across the nation, most advertising themselves as a smaller, safer alternative to the neighborhood school. Nationwide, the movement has gained traction among Democrats, partly because of the successes of a few quality nonprofit operators.

But some charters are mediocre, and Ohio has a far higher failure rate than most states. Fifty-seven percent of its charter schools, most of which are in cities, are in academic watch or emergency, compared with 43 percent of traditional public schools in Ohio’s big cities.

Cluephone to the clueless: You can't run schools on a business model. It doesn't work.
