poor whiny obama, campaigning is HARD. ooh, i feel so bad for him.

just remembered - he said it's hard "for a guy like him" - race card player.

ooh, poor baby.

All I wanna know is...what's this I'm hearing that Sen. Clinton's pastor PRAISED Obama this morning?

Gee, So Saddened, reading things into everything these days, eh?

Just because you're (Clinton Supporters) paranoid, doesn't mean they (Obama) aren't going to win the nomination!!!

sorry to hear that Obama, unfortunately most of us don't get to make as much money as you do. Boooo Hoooo, no one told you to enter the race.

CRY BABY! Why are complaining about this? what do you think running the White House will be? A day in the pool???

Obama, Just ask Bush. "Its hard. Its hard." I don't hear Hillary complaining about work. Do you?

you really think Obama is going to beat a well established machine like the Clinton's.
It's politics...he doesn't stand a chance-no matter what names they call her, not matter how many times they beat the dead drum for to drop out, it's never going to happen. She was groomed to be the next President...

Is he still whining?

jackt51, i never said obama won't get the nomination. he may very well get it, because we dems always find a way to pick the most unelectable candidate possible. i've voted dem for 4 decades, so i know about backing losers.

what obama WON'T do is win a general election. and i'll finally give up on our loser-picking party if we nominate obama. so far 28% of hillary supporters agree - the number will increase.

"Senator Clinton's a smart person, she's a capable person, and I, you know, I want to make sure that the tone of this campaign remains, it creates the situation where the Democrats are going to win in November.."

That's the signal. Work on the joint ticket. Be smart, Democrats. Look past the nomination. This is our election to lose and right now, we are doing a really good job of that.

If they run together, we can't be beaten. If they beat each other, we deserve to be.

Clinton/Obama 08 - 24

He sounds just like Bush! Working hard, working nights, working weekends. What did he think he was getting into? This is just more of the Obama drumbeat to push Hillary to get out of the race so that he can sail on into the White House. Guess what? He doesn't have enough pledged delegates either, and he won't have. He does appear like he thinks he has already been annointed. What an ego! Most likely, his camp and he must be afraid that some more dirt will roll out of the Rezko trial, so he wants the nomination now. When does that trial resume? He probably has a lot of anxiety along with the campaign trail dust. He cannot blame anyone but himself for his negatives. Rezko is his friend, Wright is his friend, and all of the race cards have been played by him. Do we feel sorry for his tiredness? Not one iota!

Furthermore, he has no chance of beating McCain, regardless of how much we disapprove of George Bush. The smartest and most capable candidate in this campaign is Hillary Clinton. Democrats should make sure that she is the Democratic nominee.

Has Clinton dropped out yet? No? Still tilting at windmills, huh.

len - Obama can't have Clinton on the ticket. Her negatives are at 53. She's radioactive.

McCain is viewed favorably by 55% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 42%. Obama’s reviews are 46% favorable and 51% unfavorable. Actually Paul, with Obama's negatives , that is a bad argument

Poor Poor Obama, Can't handle it.

This is the easy part.

You should just throw in the towel now!

All it means is that the long nomination process is pushing Obama's negatives close to - but still not as high - as Clintons. If he's the nominee, he can't pick someone who is so disliked by independents and dispised by Republicans. She'd energize the Republicans if anywhere on the ticket.

Actually, though, I'm getting the feeling that comments we heard from one congressman will start gaining traction. If this goes to a brokered convention, it seems more and more possible it will produce a nominee who is neither Obama nor Clinton.

If he's tired now, what is going to happen when the REAL campaigning starts in the general election, should he be the nominee.

Skeletons in the closet have a way of sucking the life out of a person. He does not have the stamina to stand up against the Republican election machine.

To everyone who says Obama will never win a general election, I have one word for you - THINK.

The biggest "issue" right now that Obama faces is his so called "lack of experience". He will get over that very easily - by selecting an older, white running mate. Once that happens, it will all be forgotten. It will then be the Obama TICKET against McCain TICKET and I really think Obama will come up on top.

But first the nomination. He will win it unless Hillary plays REAL DIRTY - by trying to buy PLEDGED delegates, for example. Or if Superdelegates overturn the Pledged delegates, in which case the Dems ARE going to lose.

THINK.

Don't just speak for the heck of it.

If the convention did reach out for a unifying candidate, who might it be?

Gore, Bayh, Sebellius? Those are my guesses.

Sunil
All I do is THINK.
I think about how Obama has been a parishioner of a hate ministry for over 20 years.

I THINK about his association with Rezko, and Farrakhan and William Ayers.

I THINK about how many times he has played the race and victim card for his own personal political gain.

I THINK about how he paid alost $800K to the Super delagates to buy their votes.

I am TIRED of THINKING about his bad judgment every time he gets caught he says.. What I meant was... or Let me clarify what I was trying to say. Obama is a fraud. Plain and simple and that's what I THINK

And make no mistake about the purpose of a unifying candidate. It wouldn't be to win the White House. If he or she does, great. But the real purpose is not to have a candidate who is an anchor on the down-ticket races.

That's the calculus, I believe. A brokered convention will consider whether Obama would effect the other races, if only because a significant number of Clintonites just wouldn't show up. If they determine he won't, he gets the nomination. If they determine he would, it will go outside the current campaigns.

The Democrats would love to win the White House, but this thing is degenerating to the point where now they are just trying not to lose Congress.
