PS---Tuesday night (March 4th) there will be awesome primary coverage by TYT at www.theyoungturks.com and simulcast on www.bravenewfilms.org . There is a live chat, live blogging and live polling of all viewers. And of course there are up to the minute updates on the election. The best part? Check out the amazing guest lists they have (Super Tuesday for example, new guest list should be up soon): http://bravenewfilms.org/network/5-super-tuesday

Stop supporting corporate, mainstream media coverage and support progressive programming that is more informative, entertaining and commercial free.

Also, you can always watch TYT Live from 3-5 pm ET, with a Rolling Post Game 5-7 pm daily Monday-Friday at www.theyoungturks.com The RPG often contains political talk but also many non-political topics to lighten things up (and yes, that audio may not necessarily be work-safe).

Also, if you can't watch live, the 3-5pm portion of the show (politics) streams the rest of the day, all day right after the Post Game Show ends leading up to the initial show at 3pm.

1.  Absolutely, Cenk, a no-brainer to vote for Obama. . .
Samantha Power, of whom you speak (videoclip started after you said her name), along with Susan E.Rice (not related to the Condi) are "super-advisers" for Senator Obama in my opinion:

http://ksgfaculty.harvard.edu/Samantha_Power

http://www.brookings.edu/experts/r/rices.aspx

Samantha and General Wesley Clark were why I supported Clark in 2004. When Wes decided to put whatever else before his '04 position against the Iraq War and endorse Hillary, I was totally disheartened. Knowing Samantha stuck to her anti-Iraq War policy view and parted ways from Wes for Obama speaks volumes for both Barack and Samantha and made me HOPE AGAIN. Then, getting to know Susan Rice through her recent media interviews further inspires me toward Barack.

Picking Obama over Bush is easily obvious.

BUT acknowledging that the Samantha-Wes split mirrors the Democratic Party's division between the status quo Hillary and the progressive Barack is a very significant choice this Tuesday 3/4.

Take it to the next level, Cenk: Obama-Power-S.Rice is a no brainer 2008.

2. That's kinda the way it worked for me
too, Lena.

A Clarkie in '04 and a big fan of Samantha Power.

I understand why the General endorsed Senator Clinton, he has history with the Clintons after all, but I was a little suprised at how soon he endorsed. Of course, not many saw the Obama phenomenon coming.

Samantha power and Susan Rice make me feel even better about my support for Obama.

5. The difference is simple: Obama is 100% right. Bush is 100% wrong.

6. On the surface yes
But this clip made me even more excited about Obama. Although obviously Hillary is also very intelligent and detail oriented and would be much better than Bush.
