It's Over!
Face it, Obama is done for. Once you get caught lying on national TV about things like your ties to corrupt real estate developers facing federal prosecution, or your contacts with Canadian government on NAFTA, your campaign is all but...more »

What do you like least about Obama?
This is a question to his supporters, not opponents. What are the things you dislike about your candidate? Or do you believe he is perfect, best candidate evah, etc? I am not looking for answers like "he cares too much"...more »

Congratulations Obamaniacs!
You have all but nominated the Democratic version of George W. Bush who run a campaign all but cribbed from Bush's 8 years ago. Today we are promised Change, 8 years ago the Republicans were promised a Reformer with Results....more »

If Obama becomes President, kiss health care reform goodbye
If you have a good explanation as to why Obama is relying on a Bush Dog Democrat, Jim Cooper, who did so much damage to Hillary Clinton's health care reform efforts back in the 1990s, by all means, let's have...more »

It's very much about gender. When Dodd endorsed Obama today, with Obama standing right beside him, what words did he use? "The man standing next to me". Of all the things he could have said ("the Democrat"?, "the Senator"?, "the Candidate"?), in a campaign in which issues of both race and gender were front and center, he comes out and says "the man standing next to me".
So, please don't tell me it's not about gender, and please don't tell me Obama is not playing the misogyny card. And you, Obama supporters, are all accomplices in this. Shame on you.

It's going to work out as it did in 2004. Clinton campaign has not waged a dirty campaign against Obama. The GOP will not have the same scruples, and they will go after him. On top of that, what exactly will Obama offer that will differentiate him so from McCain? A watered-down health insurance plan that will be both very costly and non-universal? A "responsible withdrawal" from Iraq, if "conditions permit"?
All McCain has to do is repeat Obama's full name a million times between now and November and he wins. How many Americans even know Obama's middle name right now?

Yeah, the Farrakhan and Baraka endorsements will likely be the Willie Horton ad of this election.

Memo to Deanie Mills:
If Obama wins the nomination, YOU WILL NEED US, the Hillary supporters, too.

That's exactly right. The argument that Obama is the anti-war candidate is, in the "racist" words of Bill Clinton, a "fairy tale". Obama voted same as Clinton on every Iraq vote, with the exception of Gen. Casey nomination (which he supported, she opposed--how's that for "judgment"?). Somehow I find it hard to believe that, once he becomes president, he'll suddenly release his hitherto repressed anti-war agenda.
Like it or not, the only genuinely anti-war candidate out there is Nader. Given how well Ron Paul has done in the GOP primaries, largely on the strength of his antiwar position, I would not count Nader out. There *is* a genuine anti-war vote out there (not to be found on this site, alas) that will not be satisfied by either of the two major party candidates.

At the very least, superdelegates are genuine, committed, true-blue Democrats. The same cannot be said for many primary voters, given that so many states have "open" primaries. If you cannot bring yourself to register yourself as a Democrat, why on Earth should you be allowed the privilege of influencing who the Democratic Party nominee should be?

Judging by how much everyone around here is terrified of Obama's middle name, seems to me all McCain needs to do to win is refer to Obama as Barack Hussein Obama every time he opens his mouth between now and November. If his own supporters are freaking out over this, how long before the Republicans catch on, if they haven't caught on already?
But Hillary, now there's a candidate with high negatives...

What exactly is the problem with "reminding" voters that Obama's middle name is Hussein? Is Obama not proud of his middle name?
The screaming that follows anytime someone mentions this suggests the Obama campaign has a serious "head in the sand" issue here. This will become common knowledge sooner or later. Would you prefer to wait until the general election to see whether Obama's middle name turns voters off?

You've got a point there, Obama is *extremely* skilled at parrying attacks from the left. No confusing him for a liberal...
