1. If Hillary is anywhere near as good a campaigner as she's made out to be,
and if he can beat her, he can beat anyone.

7. Republicans do not need or expect your vote, They will bash Obama.
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 08:21 PM by REDFISHBLUEFISH
Republicans can insult Obama and you too, They know Obama's real steadfast supporters are already decided.

Hillary wins she needs you guys...Repubs win...You can go whine for four years. She has not truly pushed him hard, nor smeared him.

You are not looking at it onjectively.

10. Primaries are traditionally just as difficult as general elections. While it's true
that the gloves come off in some regards, there's the added problem of "electability" thrown in. Unless you're suggesting Clinton can only win if the campaign goes negative, your point is invalid.

8. You'd better READ THIS, if you want the truth
Today Krugman, our foremost economist stated that HRC's healthplan was
magnificent, and Obama's was INCOMPETENT.

I will provide the link below.

Yesterday, the NYT front page article told how Obama FAILED to
pass a bill to PROTECT HIS DISTRICT from the local Nuclear Power
Plant leaks.

They were getting RADIOACTIVITY in their water.

NEXT, Obama TOOK several hundred thousand dollars from the
Nuke honchos for his Senate Campaign.

He had the NERVE to go BRAGGING around Iowa that his bill
passed when it DID NOT.

He finally got a bill passed - it protected the NUCLEAR POWER PLANT.

Does that make you think at all?

13. "our foremost economist "....I'll grant you Krugman teaches economics....
but our foremost economist? Oh please....

He is a Hillary supporter. Nothing wrong with that. But you don't have to inflate his importance. That's a bit wierd and strange for you to do that. Are you in need of puffing up your candidate? I think so....

5. No he and his family is NOT READY!
This is only a drill compared to the General election. Christ, the republicans are rebelling against their own front runner McCain. What do you think they will do to Obama, the inexperience young man with dreams of hope?

9. Is Hillary ready to be filleted by the coalition gathering against her?
You think you've seen a hate-bloc? You aint seen NOTHING yet. Wait till they come out of the woodwork to cream her in a GE.

14. They will make a fuss .. and then they vote for more torture or no torture
more war or no war, habeas corpus or not, posse comitatus or not ... there are so many issues the matter so much more.
