Words cannot truly capture or express the appreciation and gratitude I have for all the volunteers in both Iowa and New Hampshire. That what you are doing is laying a foundation for a new Nation. Thanks so much for your sacrifice.

Howard Wolfson – Hillary’s campaign manager – is repeating this same old Roven tactic by accusing Sen Obama of attacking her on the “experience” issue during his speech on Labor Day. Barack stated the following:
“There are those who tout their experience working the system in Washington - but the problem is that the system in Washington isn't working for us and hasn't for a long time………I used to wonder what they meant, this whole experience argument, because I've been fighting for people as a public servant for over two decades - as a community organizer, a civil rights lawyer, a constitutional law professor, a state Senator, and a U.S. Senator. ……….But then I came to realize that to this bunch, only the years you spend in Washington count. Only time in Washington translates into wisdom……………..So let me tell you about a different kind of experience - the experience I bring to this race………………….…………..So let's be clear - there are a lot of people who have been in Washington longer than me; who have better connections and go to the right dinner parties and know how to talk the Washington talk. Well I might not have the experience Washington likes, but I believe I have the experience America needs right now. Hope and change are not just the rhetoric of a campaign for me. Hope and change have been the causes of my life. Hope and change are the story of our country. And we're here today to continue that story”.
What Hillary’s camp is really upset about is they can no longer campaign on the “experience” issue without being perceived as a typical Washington insider. So this accusation from the Hillary camp is vintage Karl Rove, which is to employ the Orwellian-Misdirect; that is accuse your opponent of the very thing you are doing to them.
Does anyone know if the following statement was actually made by Ethyl Kennedy?
Ethel Kennedy - widow of Senator Bobby Kennedy"I think he feels it. He feels it just like Bobby did," Ethel Kennedy said, comparing her late husband's quest for social justice to Obama's. "He has the passion in his heart. He's not selling you. It's just him." Ethel Kennedy invited Obama to deliver the keynote address at a ceremony commemorating the 80th birthday of Robert F. Kennedy. She said she had carefully followed the career of the Illinois senator, whom she referred to as "our next president." (source)
