Wisconsin Regains Its Position
As Momentum Changer In Democratic Primary
9:45 p.m. Lone Star Time
In 1960, Wisconsin turned the momentum away from Hubert Humphrey and toward JFK. In 1968, LBJ got out of his re-election bid when he feared humiliation by a defeat in Washington. 1976, it put Jimmy Carter ahead of an unimpressive pack and tonight, it handed a sizable victory to Barack Obama in a state Hillary Clinton was long expected to win.
Barack Obama behaved poorly in his victory speech first, and foremost, by going on the air during Hillary Clinton’s concession speech. He also spoke of himself as though he were already the presumed president, let alone nominee. He also referred to Hillary dismissive-ly. IS THE PROCONPUNDIT STICKING UP FOR HILLARY CLINTON? IS THE ProConPundit SYMPATHIZING WITH HILLARY? Y-E-S. There, I said it. I don’t want her to be the president but Obama behaved badly. To the casual observer, it may not mean much but in political circles its considered VERY POOR FORM to interrupt someone’s concession speech.
Obama is well on his way. He’s not there yet. Hillary never does so well as when she is down and when she is perceived to be mistreated. Obama is woefully lacking in experience to be president and demonstrated that tonight. The next chapter is going to be VERY ugly. The Clinton's are not going down without a fight. And, brace yourself, again, the ProConPundit will take her side. This is the fight of her life and, despite my non-veiled contempt for the Clinton's, it must be very frustrating to be losing to someone so inferior to her capaibility.
The primary season will likely be OVER on March 4 when the Buck-eyes and Lone-Stars decide the fate of the Democratic nomination.
Meanwhile, John McCain clobbered the Huckster in Wisconsin. Huckabee needs to get on with his life.
Sidebar: The ProConPundit won an award in San Antonio tonight. For what? You’ll never believe it–for my EDGINESS! Jack Welch writes of the 4E’s of Leadership[: Energy, Energizing, Edge & Executing. I won the award for edginess–perhaps jagged!
An astute and fervent Hillary supporter of Latino extraction told me tonight that if Obama gets the nomination he is going with McCain because Obama is not ready for "prime time." The ProConPundit is positing a yet unheard of constituency: HILLARY FANS WHO WILL NOT DIGEST OBAMA SHOULD HE BE THE NOMINEE. I like it.

It was the social event of a life time and I was proud to be present when you received your award. In the distance you could hear the Huckabee supporters yelling at the Governor of Texas from just outside the Alamo. This in retaliation of his support for McCain. Congratulations and I wish you many more accomplishments. Keep up the great work!

ANTI-SEMITES FOR OBAMA
NASHVILLE, TN - The Tennessee Republican Party today joins a growing chorus of Americans concerned about the future of the nation of Israel, the only stable democracy in the Middle East, if Sen. Barack Obama is elected president of the United States.
“It’s time to set the record straight about Barack Obama and where he really stands on vital issues such as national security and the security of Israel,” said Robin Smith, chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party. “Voters need to know about two items that surfaced today which strongly suggest that an Obama presidency will view Israel as a problem rather than a partner for peace in the Middle East.
On Sunday, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan on Sunday likened Obama to a new messiah, calling him “the hope of the entire world.” That’s the same Louis Farrakhan who has a history of making openly anti-Semitic statements, calling Judaism a “gutter religion,” and suggesting that crack cocaine might have been a CIA plot to enslave blacks.
Farrakhan, addressing 20,000 people at the annual Savior’s Day celebration in Chicago, praised the Democrat presidential candidate, calling Obama “The hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better.”
He also compared Obama to the founder of Islam, remarking that both had a white mother and black father, according to the Associated Press. “A black man with a white mother became a savior to us,” Farrakhan said. “A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”
Obama has on the campaign trail pledged to rapidly remove American soldiers from Iraq regardless of the resulting instability and the creation of opening that would be filled by Islamic extremists, like Al Qaeda, in Iraq’s government and military.
Obama has pledged to hold a Muslim Summit to determine Middle East policy with the very leaders that have as their goal to remove Israel from the map, referenced Jews to be “dogs” and “pigs,” among other vile references.
Over the weekend, news reports surfaced casting more disturbing evidence of Obama’s anti-Israel leanings.
The board of a nonprofit organization on which Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a “catastrophe.”
The co-founder of that organization, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, who also has held a fundraiser for Obama, is a harsh critic of Israel and has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror. Khalidi reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.
The Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant in 2001 to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi’s wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002. Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund’s website. Tax records show he was paid $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2001.
Also serving on the Wood’s Fund board alongside Obama was current University of Illinois-Chicago professor William C. Ayers, who was a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.
“You don’t even have to go outside Obama’s campaign to find advisers who are anti-Israel,” said Bill Hobbs, communications director for the Tennessee Republican Party. “Robert Malley, a principal foreign policy adviser to Obama, has advocated negotiations with the Iranian-funded radical terrorist group Hamas and urged that Hamas – which sends suicide bombers to kill innocent women and children - receive international assistance.”
According to DiscoverTheNetworks.org, an online guide to the political Left, Malley “consistently condemns Israel, exonerates Palestinians, urges U.S. disengagement from Israel, and recommends that America reach out to negotiate with its traditional Arab enemies.”
“Nothing in Barack Obama’s history or his choice of advisers suggests he will be a friend to Israel,” said Hobbs. “On the contrary, supporters of Israel should view a possible Obama administration with extreme caution, as America’s ally is being put in the cross-hairs by the anti-Jewish left.”
