If I were an Obama suppporter, .....
I would be worried about...

His ability to win 2 of FL, PA, and OH in the general election, when currently losing beyond the MOE in polls in all 3 right now (with negatives that have nowhere to go but up)

His ability to win the GE, being the most swiftboatable candidate with the least experience we have ever nominated in modern history

The fact that he sued all his opponents off the ballot for his IL state legislature position, took the credit for all major bills he sponsored in the IL state legislature away from the legislators who spent years of hard work on them, who's most serious election contest was against Alan Keyes, and who only spent a year in the US Senate before realizing it wasn't good enough for him and running for president.

Because we are all smarter than that.

9. How exactly am I a troll?
I posted my opinions, and facts with a source. Is anyone who disagrees with you a troll? I only posted this in response to the equivalent anti-Hillary thread.

12. One need not be a troll in order to troll.
But, if I hypothetically were a troll, I would worry about:

1.) where to collect the best "has been posted 500 times" collection of "concerns" pretending that I was adding something to the non-dialog that is GD:P

2.) posting my trolling threads in a manner that shows my "concern" without making it look like the same ole' same.

3.) encouraging others to show their "concern" by adding their own recycled "concerns" to my pile-o-"concern"

7. As opposed to the person who lied about sniper fire
and the Irish peace process, and has more crooks lined up behind her than Jack Abramoff.

Yeah, I'm really worried about Obama. :eyes:

10. Heh. I read your name as zit something. Close. Go away or post
something positive about who you prefer; your attacks on Obama don't work.

There's too many of us fans to dispute your bunk.

18. not likely
especially if that list of "concerns" is widely circulated among Independents and the GOP faithful, which it will be. No one wants the war in Iraq which makes the light experience of Senator Obama an even bigger issue.

19. yes GOP faithful are going to really change their colors once they read that list of "concerns"
and since no one in America wants the war in Iraq they'll be glad to vote for McCain who wants a 100 year in Irag and a war in Iran as well. Get a clue.

22. clues
are what that list of concerns are. I don't really care myself but it could be a red flag to those voters Senator Obama would need to have in the General Election.

13. He constantly goes up in the polls as people get to know him better.
It makes sense that it will take more time for him to win bigger states because it takes more time to reach people. Hillary plateaued in the polls the day she announced. She'll never get above 50%. Ever. Obama will keep going up as he has been for the past year.

20. I'm not worried at all
I don't think you are either honestly..
But nice try.
I'd be more worried about some supporters of the opposition who spend so much time tearing down Obama instead of trying to sell Gomama.
After all it hasn't been working in case you haven't noticed.
But Have fun with your lil crusade

24. I raised my two girls mostly by myself and have taught high school...
So I have some experience here. The Hillary trolls, disrupter's, whatever you want to call them, sure fit the mold of cliquish high school girls. I called a 'Hillary supporter' on it Saturday evening and I didn't get a denial.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=385&topic_id=112118&mesg_id=112139

I really do wonder how many from that group are old enough to vote.

27. Yes.
Finally someone is talking about his poor record in Illinois.

A key Obama supporter strategy is to talk only in loud slogans so that no one can think about the man behind the curtain. This is really hurting him in Pennsylvania.

Also, the Obama camp's open enthusiasm for keeping the Florida votes out of the total is a big problem. They're not in favor of winning fairly, because they can't.

Keep hammering them on these points. Their "successes" are largely due to phantom support from crossover Republican voters in the states where you don't have to stick to your party in a primary. By the convention, all that will come back to bite them.
