Obama has the Daley Machine, good, talented in it’s own sphere, but not one I would want to help me in PA, or VA, or places like that requiring detailed local knowledge of what works and what doesn’t.

Add in Rev. God Damn America, and his constant new fun stuff that will show up in viral videos just like it has already, and Obama is a disaster. Heath Schuler? Gone from NC unless it’s Hillary. Rev. God Damn America plus Obama’s evasive denials and excuses and moral equivalency work well among rich white yuppies and his South Side Chicago Black Nationalist backers. But not among the wider white middle and working class. Not in a Recession/depression. Whites who are not rich moralizing status obsessed yuppies do not like being called racist.

Obama is Al Sharpton with a smoother shtick. But that’s all.

Superdels choose him at their peril.

Why?

I really feel that right now it is John McCain race to lose. He can still do it, but it is really up to him.

OTOH, Rush suggests that the reason why Dems feel so free to beat the snot out of each other is precisely because McCain is such a weak candidate who will never have the full support of rank and file Republicans such as moi. The winner of the Dem nomination walks over Insane McCain.

“No one can tell whether Obama has the stomach for the kind of down-ticket campaigning the Clintons do, putting the energy of his organization to work fundraising and stumping for Democrats Obama hardly knows.”

The Clintons are entrenched, and many of the Super Delegates owe their current seat of power to them, in one way or another.

Obama is the new kid on the block, and has the “New Kid in Town” appeal, but as the song says, that can only last for so long. Only the media has prompt him up, and made him out to be more than he is.

Maybe both Hillary and Obama are regreting starting this campaign so early out. Even the uninterested have had time to take a closer look.

My $0.02……….

they are concerned that her nomination would motivate greater numbers of Republicans to turn out in November to vote against her, and other Democrats too.

Ah, yes, and months of having the Second Coming crammed down our throats via the media isn’t going to motivate us at all.

I love seeing conservatives trying to defend Hillary Clinton; what you ignore conveniently here is that Hillary Clinton hasn’t had any party building experience either.

It’s kind of funny reading your argument in this situation, nf; I’m certain I’d be saying the same things if I were you. But the truth is, conservatives aren’t defending Hillary at all. We just switch the target of our fire every couple days. HotAir, Rush, Hannity, lots of commentators have been vilifying Hillary daily. (Did you somehow miss the orgy of ridicule over Tuzla?!)

We have two equally pathetic targets, and you don’t seem to appreciate that almost every criticism of either one is just as effective on the other.

Corruption? Fine, Billary is a target-rich environment, but Obama currently has his primary benefactor in the midst of a Federal election trial which will probably land him in jail.

Experience? Great, one’s a housewife and the other is relying on a state senate record for which there are literally no records to be found.

Platform? Absolutely, they are indecipherable from each other, and each one is well outside of the mainstream of American political thought. Obama has been rated as the single most liberal and partisan Democrat in the Senate for the last year, and Hillary is Hillary (i.e., Yale, 1960s student/mob takeovers, Children’s Defense Fund, feminazis, etc.).

Sure. It must be the conservatives’ fault. I don’t blame you one bit.

Hussein is a racist socialist trained by Ivy Leaguers. What else do we need to know?

“If we nominate Senator Clinton, it is possible we are going to stir up the passions of people on the far right who otherwise would not be very excited about this election,

Ya, Wright did stir up any passions… I guess these people don’t spend much time talking to working-class white Americans or listening to local talk radio… Working-class DEMOCRATS in Boston are saying basically, “I’d rather vote for a liar than a racist, but I dislike them both now” And, if you think that’s made up, go to WTKK and see if the archive any of Michelle McPhee (A Dem and reporter for the Boston Herald) show…

As a liberal, what caused you to pick Obama over Clinton?

I’m genuinely curious to see this race from a leftist point of view; no snarky reply will be forthcoming from me.

That poor girl. And That judge was a (D). Judges should NOT be politically affiliated. Their job is to enforce and uphold the law, not to practice ideals and hoping reform or change.

I “mega-loathe” ilberals. More people are dead in America because of early paroled convicts than problems they hoped to solve. Liberalism doenst work. When will you wake up? When your child is raped and killed next? Or will you just blame that on Bush or our taxes being too low too?

It would appear that the Obama fantasy is so much easier for people to deal with than the realities of the world.

Funny you say that. One of the bills in Ill. he voted against (deny early parole for sexual predators) is a true example of how liberals wish or hope for the way things are instead of realizing how things really are. How many sexual predators strike again when paroled early?

I know first hand in 2002, Ohio, one did just that. That summer he abducted some little girl at the county fair. She was never seen again until her scattered ramians were discovered in a field weeks later by volunteer search parties.

why let these guys out early hoping that he wont do it again? That is just too much risk. Now a family is minus one nice girl who should be graduating HS soon. WTF!

You can’t change things by acting like the way you want them to be. What is he going to do next? Befriend Iran and al Q? They will exploit that oppertunity to attack us even more brutally. This is the only reason I am voting for McCain.

Feeeelings… it’s nothing more than feeeelings…

Ugh. People vote Obama because he “feels good”. Nevermind the fact that he’s an empty suit with no experience.

He’s a mirror, he just reflects what everyone wants to see.

It would appear that the Obama fantasy is so much easier for people to deal with than the realities of the world.

I can’t win on facts with these guys

Was supposed to say “I cannnot win any debates against Billary or Obama supporters based on facts and actual results.”

If you wanna talk about feelings, then Obama definitely has the most emotional crowd (and the most communist support).

When I criticize Billary, I am a bigot or a sexist.

My frustrated response, “No, I am a war monger, remember?”

What conservatives have been defending Billary and why? Is it because they know she is easier to beat than Obama because of her lying, secretive past?

I can’t win on facts with these guys.

Just as with his argument for the presidency, they’re going to have to go on hope and not much else.

What? Have you not been seeing the results in this primary season? You even admitted his ability to out-organize the Clintons. To believe for a second that Obama couldn’t be a huge party builder for the Democrats is lunacy. The superdelegates will get behind Obama for a number of reasons, the possibility of him helping down-ticket Democrats will be pretty low on their list.

More to the point, though, is the fact that Obama hasn’t done much to get other Democrats elected, and in fairness because he’s so inexperienced that he hasn’t had the chance.

I love seeing conservatives trying to defend Hillary Clinton; what you ignore conveniently here is that Hillary Clinton hasn’t had any party building experience either. All they’re offering in regards to experience on party building is what they’ve done so far in this election.

Add onto the fact that this is such an old story and you’re still bereft of the facts makes my responding to your post seem trivial — if you haven’t realized the flaws in your argument already there’s no convincing you.
