We keep hearing the SAME B.S. over and over
I've been active on this forum for a few weeks now and at least once a week (if not once a day) someone announces the death of Obama's campaign. Some new scandal manufactured by the press or Clinton surrogates or the right wingers who are afraid of an Obama candidacy comes roaring into focus and we're told it's the death blow, that Obama can't possibly win.

Yet, oddly enough, Obama keeps going. Keeps getting more endorsements. Keeps rising in the polls. Keeps closing the gap in key states. Keeps collecting both pledged and super delegates. He has consistently been ahead of Clinton in delegate count and the popular vote, despite all of these so-called campaign killers.

So please, spare me the doom and gloom and get used to saying President Obama. And rejoice that we will have a strong Democrat in office come January 2009.

4. Well said. I'm sick of it too.
We should be rallying right now and getting excited about November and beyond.

Instead we're fighting phantoms.

6. Thank you!
Thank you for your perspective. I thought I was the only one who felt this way.

*whew*

I feel better now.

7. Hear hear.
All this place does lately is put me in a bad mood. I don't know why I subject myself to it. Masochism?

8. I kind of like it when it gets nastier
I learn who is rational and stand up, and who is just visiting.
