"You're the one (as are many other people) that thinks that Obama is some sort of savior. He's just not. Neither is Edwards, nor Hillary." If Obama becomes President, he's going to be presented with a much different America than that that confronted W. Deep in recession, fighting two expensive, stupid foreign wars, little goodwill among our allies, who will also be in recession and will blame us, massive debt and a thousand Bush mistakes and idiocies to correct and undo. He'll get a long honeymoon and will be able to place the blame rightly on W for a long time, but not forever. Saviour can turn to goat with lightning speed, especially when the main knock on Obama is he doesn't have the experience. Look for the (R)'s to be working to make that a self-fulfilling prophecy from day one.

I'm pushing back hard here on Hillary because you're insisting over and over that Hillary can't win, and all indicators seem to point otherwise. A lot of that has nothing to do with her as a candidate, but rather with how terrible the whole Republican slate is and how much the public hates the Republicans these days because of Mr. 31%. And I am saying to you that the national polls as of today are so close that its unclear whether Hillary can win. Not only does she piss off the Republicans but she antagonizes Dem. males who broke for Obama. She is a divisive figure and I am convinced a hater of men. I am sure the GOP would love to have her as the opponent of McCain. I am sorry you can't see that. As for Obama, he can and will win. Its as simple as that. You're the one (as are many other people) that thinks that Obama is some sort of savior. He's just not. Neither is Edwards, nor Hillary. They'd all make good Presidents, but the only way any of them is our savior is when compared to Bush. But I don't get the feeling that any of them will turn the world on its head. Maybe you're immune to the inspiration Obama invokes but a lot of Americans are not. That's why they are turning out in droves. And if nothing else, Americans need to be inspired and to believe in this country again. Hillary can't do it nor can Edwards as good as they are.

One last thing about Hillary.......which shows just how much she is an ass. After the primary, she split to Tennessee....never waiting for the results in S.Carolina. So her workers sat at her campaign office in S. Carolina seeing the returns and not seeing their candidate except on a big screen. Just because she lost doesn't mean they didn't work their butts off. These primaries have been a huge tell about her character.....what an impolite boor she is. And We, the people will get that in spades were she to get into office.
