Obama Tomorrow -- Raising Kaine
Pres.-elect Barack Obama has two big events tomorrow; he'll give what the transition is billing as a major speech on the economy during a morning event at George Mason University, and he and VA governor Tim Kaine, the next party chairman, will do a press event at the Democratic National Committee.
The first speech will be Obama's first extensive presentation of his economic proposal -- dubbed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan -- which he has promised will save or create more than 3M jobs by investing in health care and energy, among other industries. Cost estimations, though not confirmed by the transition, are said to range from $800B to $1T. Perhaps tomorrow we'll get a more firm projection.
Meanwhile, Kaine will replace Howard Dean at the DNC. Dean leaves having spurred the creation of the once ridiculed 50-state plan. And while Kaine, who loyally endorsed Obama during the Democratic primary and before VA's critical contest, has landed in a position key to the party's future and allowing him a direct line to the soon-to-be administration, Dean has been left out to pasture.
Dean. Passed over for any of the Cabinet or govt. posts -- HHS or surgeon general -- that might have been suitable for the Vermont doctor. Or those positions that would've been perhaps less fitting but equally hard-earned. Obama has been meticulous in wrapping former adversaries into his orbit, but Dean seems the one person who has gotten truly shafted by Obama's team. It seems unfortunate -- unfair even -- because outside of Obama's immediate campaign crew, one could argue Dean did the most -- especially as the Democratic primary appeared stalemated last spring --to keep the party from imploding over the superdelegate counting frenzy. And to allow Obama to emerge victorious, even after Hillary Clinton won several critical contests -- read PA, among others -- and made strong and many believed valid play for the nomination.

I want to be on the Keigh Olberman show to talk about the soon coming book, "Madness in the Magnolias",the political memoirs of the famous Seymore Trammell, the #1 political & financial advisor to the famous Alabama Governor George C.Wallace, detailing the Bush family, Sr. and Jr. as un-indicted co-conspirators in the deadly plot by Richard Nixon to kill Governor Wallace in May of 1972 and tried to kill my father, Seymore Trammell 6 months earlier in November of 1971. thanks to Dan Rather who lost his job at CBS for investigating Bush Jr being in Montgomery,Alabama in May of 1972 when Wallace was shot in Laurel, Maryland. Jr was supposed to be a spy,sent by daddy Bush who was the CIA Director for Nixon and sent his son to spy and gather intel and gossip when Wallace was shot by the guy trained and brainwashed by G.Gordon Liddy for Nixon! Part of the famous Alabama Project started by Nixon to stop the Wallace/Trammell machine to keep Nixon out of the White House!!!

"One could argue Dean did the most"? No, Dean did do the most to get Barack Obama where he is today.
It was Howard Dean who helped Obama when he ran for the Senate by including him on the very first Dean Dozen list for the 2004 election.
There was nothing original about Obama's campaign. It was a complete derivative of Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign. Even the name--Obama for America--was unoriginal. (Yes, I know the Dean campaign got it from The West Wing.)
Howard Dean crisscrossed the country in a bus, to get Barack Obama elected. Obama never once acknowledged the effort or publicly thanked Howard. In fact, he has never acknowledged Howard at all for his work. (We'll see if that happens today when Obama visits the DNC.)
