<<< I simply don't see it. Obama has run a much better campaign both as a political tool and engaged in much less genuinely negative stuff. Her negatives were sufficiently bad that when she stepped up her negative stuff on Obama her unfavorables increased. >>> This is terribly discouraging. We can't even agree to disagree. You are not even for letting the nomination process go to a logical conclusion where one of the candidates wins the election out right (eg getting the necessary delegate count). You want Obama to be given the election. She is very specific on why she thinks she is the better candidate. 1. She is more experienced. 2. She is more knowledgeable on the issues. (She wins debates and he refuses to debate her). 3. She connects with blue collar middle class white and hispanic voters in ALL the big states that a democrat has to win. 4. She has a better health care plan on the table. 5. She has a track record when she wasa full partner in the Bill Clinton administration. Meanwhile he: 1. Has far less experience. 2. Vague on the specifics as to what he stands for. 3. Has some explaining to do with regard to his 20 year association with Rev Wright and his church. I don't think there is anything wrong in that regard, but for many Americans, he will have to fully explain this part of his life. 4. He still has to prove that he understand white middle class culture. Where is his exposure. 5. He has only recently been put in the national spotlight, who knows what else will pop up. He is not fully vetted. 6. The democratic party is taking a gamble going forward. Yet, you continue to demonise her when she tries to bring out the contrast. I am totally discouraged by all this. We can not even agree to disagree.
