Obama doesn’t need to fight McCain. Obama is riding a spectrum-wide surge based on the desire for a new political (as opposed to ideological) landscape. Obama beat Hillary by refusing to get into the gutter with her. McCain will self-destruct in similar fashion, particularly in debates. McCain, like Bob Dole, doesn’t have enough sense left to be taken seriously. Already he’s exposed himself badly by waffling on torture.

The only thing to fear is Hillary winning the nomination because Obama supporters (who fill arenas rather than high school gyms) have bonded with their candidate. For Hillary to win the nomination and get elected, she needs to convince a majority of Obama supporters that they made a mistake and that she saved the day. Experience and electability aren’t enough now. She has to convince people who already voted for Obama to switch.

when the Clintons were trying to get the Senate seat in New York against Lazio, they swore up and down that she would NEVER run for President. If she does not get within 50 elected delegates of Obama by the end of the primaries, which seems nigh impossible at this point, what will she promise to do at that juncture?

Oh thank the goddess, I’m not the only one.
Been having the same problem.
We are not alone.
But, we’re also not the ones with 19% approval — I’m sure you’re is Much higher. And, we’re not spewing naughty language/hate-heart language, so, I guess we’re doing okay. All we have to do is re-boot, refresh, and we don’t have to keep looking over our shoulders, right?

Hey if he’s dead then all the troops go home.

Unless there’s someone, somewhere, personal or corporate, who has no vested interest in seeing the end of perpetual war.

In that case, it would not be to his/its interest in making that fact known, would it?

personally I think she’ll say anything if she thinks it’ll help her get elected.

There are still the administrative details of Hillary and the Huckster- but it appears that the general election has begun.

I agree the new Pakistani government might play ball Bennie before she died said something about a joint U.S, Pakistani raid on Ossama which is more than the General ever suggested…despite the money we gave him.
