<<< But Independents won't, and that will hand the election to him and the Republicans again. She is also turning off the young voters who are showing up for Obama, and will lost them for the party in the future. ....... Once again, we are finding a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Way ta go, guys....>>> Besides losing elections on the national scene, what do Stevenson, McGovern, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry have in common? They were heavily favored by people you find in faculty lounges. They all wanted to be above the fray. They were all "intellectuals". There is nothing wrong with that, but they could not connect with Joe Six Pack. Did you see Obama drinking Beer from what look like a champaign glass. He couldn't even make it look like he could occasionally like to drink a glass of beer. 37, 37, I mean this guy is a good athlete. He is a good basketball player. He couldn't even pretend to enjoy the experience of bowling even like someone doing research for an anthropology study.

ROFL! If Obama loses in the fall, in your mind it will be Hillary's fault!! Actually I knew this would happen. Let me suggest that his spiritual mentor, Rev. Wright is a really big deal to traditional churchgoers in the Dem party. These same voters aren't too keen on people like Ayers and Rezko, either. The big problem is that when an aspirational candidate is shown to have clay feet, voters will turn away. Obama is an IDEA.....a romantic IDEA. The worse thing for a candidate like this is a long campaign that will serve to prick the bubble. That's what's happening here and has nothing to do with whether Hillary is negative. Nobody lets what candidates say about each other sway their vote. Do you?
