"Maybe you're immune to the inspiration Obama invokes but a lot of Americans are not. "

I am a policy wonk. Grand, inspirational speeches are ok, but they don't do it for me.

>And I am saying to you that the national polls as of today are so close that its unclear whether Hillary can win.

And if you see the polls that way, don't they say the same about Obama?

>and I am convinced a hater of men.

That's an over-the-top and pretty misogynistic statement. And even if true, if you were treated by men the way she is (see C*U*N*T and the Hillary Nutcracker), wouldn't you be a little pissed off at men?

>As for Obama, he can and will win. Its as simple as that.

If he wins the primary, I'm convinced he will win the election.

>Maybe you're immune to the inspiration Obama invokes but a lot of Americans are not.

Because people are shallow. If a candidate talks about change, change, change, I need to know that he understands exactly what the situation is and how it needs to be changed. I get that feeling strongly from Edwards, somewhat from Hillary (though I don't think she'd change things enough), and don't get it much at all from Obama. I may still vote for him over Hillary if it comes down to that, but for now, I'm stickin' with Edwards.
