most often yes.
but there are other instances where the code they use is slightly veiled...but it's still recognizable because their true nature is known to those that post here regularly.

^Actually good old Louis Armstrong for me. The lyrics changes were mine. Did KD Lang actually use those lyrics? Which song? I love KD.

I just bought her 2008 album, Watershed. Crikes, haven't even listened to it as I got it to play for a friend in hospital. I'm putting it on now and will let you know...
BTW, do you know what that song is about?

Dick Gephardt?

Wait, an old-timer over the hill, and too conservative, and sold out to Goldman Sachs.

Seriously, he is sort of the anti-Obama, and might be a good counterbalance.

The VP experts, yes there are people who specialize in this say:

Obama, could pick a Washington outsider to supersize his change message, for example a governor like Arizona's Janet Napolitano or Kansas' Kathleen Sebelius.

The counter strategy is to select someone with offsetting qualities, in Obama's case a senior statesman such as Joe Biden or Chris Dodd, two longtime senators who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for themselves this year

Quote:
Joel Goldstein, a professor at St. Louis University School of Law and an expert on vice presidents, said the choice of a running mate is more complex than it used to be. With the more expansive role played by vice presidents Al Gore and Dick Cheney, "you can't pick somebody simply because they're going to carry Ohio or Florida," Goldstein said. "It's going to backfire."

Hagel is an independent thinker, and I like his views. I don't think he'll be chosen, but I think it would help if he was in the Purple states.

Quote:
Hagel visible, but may not be viable as veep

Nebraska Republican would have assets as Obama running mate, but …

Sen. Chuck Hagel, R- Neb., has been a harsh critic of President Bush's Iraq policy, but has a quite conservative voting record on issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage.

By Tom Curry
National affairs writer
MSNBC
June. 18, 2008

WASHINGTON - Were we looking at Barack Obama’s running mate, perhaps the next vice president of the United States on Wednesday afternoon?

You couldn’t help but wonder, as Sen. Chuck Hagel, R- Neb., showed up at the Washington think tank, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), to discuss his new book, "America: Our Next Chapter," before an audience of Washington insiders, business executives, and diplomats.

In the inside-the-Beltway scuttlebutt about Obama’s running mate, Hagel’s name comes up as do the names of such Democrats as Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, and a few non-politicians, such as retired Marine Corps Gen. James Jones, a former NATO commander.

Some Democrats think Obama would be smart to pick Hagel.

One veteran Senate Democratic staffer, speaking on condition he not be identified by name, called Hagel “the strongest pick Obama could make, particularly if he is serious about his ‘there are no red states, there are no blue states’ rhetoric. After eight years of division, it would be the most immediately healing gesture that Obama could make, as well as a gutsy, brilliant political move, too.”
