Most people felt that alst nights debate was won by Barack Obama. He did slightly better in the Ohio debate than he did in the Austin debate. And in both he did better than Hillary and that's not good for the lady from Arkansas. But then little has been going good for her since Super Tuesday. Who's plan was it to win big then and be over with the coronation? Mark Penn? Who can we blame for this mess anyway?
The day after the Ohio debate, civil rights leader John Lewis dropped his support for Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid Wednesday in favor of Barack Obama. Lewis, a Democratic congressman from Atlanta, is the most prominent black leader to defect from Clinton's campaign in the face of near-unanimous black support for Obama in recent voting. He also is a super delegate who gets a vote at this summer's national convention in Denver.
This is BIG! The Hillary Clinton campaign is running on fumes.
Leon Panetta, former White House chief of staff to Bill Clinton, is the latest Clinton loyalist to come out and criticize the campaign. And he suggests the problem was all of the above. “It seems to me like they rolled the dice on Super Tuesday, thinking that would end it,” Panetta told The New York Observer. “And when it didn’t end it, they didn’t have a plan. And when it came to the caucus states, they did have a plan — which was to ignore them. I think those were serious mistakes.”
Lewis added, "After taking some time for serious reflection on this issue, I have decided that when I cast my vote as a superdelegate at the Democratic convention, it is my duty as a representative of the 5th Congressional District to express the will of the people," Lewis said in a statement. "As a U.S. representative, it is my role not to try to subdue or suppress the will of the people, but to help it prosper and grow." Lewis' endorsement had been a coveted prize among the Democratic candidates.
His change of heart follows a similar move by Rep. David Scott, a black Democrat who represents a neighboring district. Is there anyway that Hillary can turn this around you ask? Sure. Win Texas, Ohio, Vermont, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Indiana that's coming up. And WIN BIG!
Or turn out the lights, the par-tee is done!

BAPTIDZO - A MORE PRECISE DEFINITION
By: Ralph E. Bass, Jr. | 15/12/2009“The position of the book Baptidzo is that the word Baptidzo is not an act but a changed condition, state, result or an effect accomplished brought about by any one of several possible acts.” Let’s flesh that out some. To be more precise in our definition, we will define Baptidzo in greater detail, and with far more words, as:
Baptidzo – A One Word Definition
By: Ralph E. Bass, Jr. | 15/12/2009Of course we would all like a one-word definition of Baptidzo. Yet, this one word interpretation has defied translators and translations, for thousands years, not only in English, but also in every language on the globe. This difficulty in translation has resulted in the transliteration of Baptidzo into the various languages of the world instead of its translation. The result is that the Greek word Baptidzo has been brought into the English language as the word “baptize.”
