Chuck Todd: "Against any other candidate, Obama would now be unelectable."
Grinning: "Hillary has succeeded in making him as unelectable as she is.

Just look at the Washington Post/WSJ poll showing that Obama does NOT
share the values of rural whites (down 33 percentage points) or white
suburban women.

These voters are beginning to wake up and come to the conclusion that he
is NOT like them!

Independents, rural whites... Obama now loses these voters as badly as
Hillary. The fact that the WSJ poll shows them both beating McCain in
head-to-head matchups is meaningless... it shows they are equally
unable to beat McCain in the fall.

Now, Hillary's job must be to make the bottom fall out from Obama,
because right now they are both equally unelectable.

She has no way to improve her own negatives, she has to destroy his.

She MUST do this in order to reverse the trajectory of this election!"

Chuck Todd just said this on Hardball.

1. Chuck Todd is a DU favorite
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 06:44 PM by sandiegoboy
And you can see why. He's a staunch Obama supporters who hates Hillary. 90% of his comment are pro-Obama or anti-Hillary.

This is the same genius who gave us the following analysis in 2006:

If Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker fo the House, then Bush's approval will go up to 50% by July 4th, 2007:

12. Don't be ridiculous... his entire statement is hostile to Obama
And utterly revealing of the media game plan which is to ensure a BFEE successor.

They are willing to admit Hillary is a patsy on-air because she is such a willing traitor to the BFEE.

2. I've said this from the beginning.
Obama needs to go on the offensive and take her out before she takes him out. It's the only way.

13. This is like a bad dream... they did this to Kerry -- and Obama thinks just because Clinton's a Dem
and just because McCain is a nice old man,

He will not draw the obvious conclusion...!?

3. Bullshit. She can't reverse the trajectory of this election.
Obama will continue to pick up SDs and the race will be FINAL on May 20. Despite what Chucky and his MSM gang want us to believe.

7. wake the fuck up. Just because Obama gets the nomination doesn't mean Hillary can't
work to make him unelectable in November.

And Obama's limp-along strategy SUCKS.

11. Don't be ugly to me.
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 06:50 PM by sparosnare
I know she'll work to sabotage him in the GE so she can run in 2012. What would happen if Obama went on the attack? She'd play the victim, poor Hillary being attacked by the mean black man. It sucks but I don't know what else he can do except get the nomination then go into attack mode with McCain.

17. You're correct
Obama can't go on the attack for that reason. There's not much he can do. He CAN attack McCain like crazy, but he can't attack Hillary the same way because he would be portrayed as an "angry black man" attacking a white female victim. It wouldn't play well at all.

32. Yep. And this is the fault of the superdelegates who could have put an end to this charade a long
time ago.

It's just like the Democratic establishment to shoot itself in the foot. They were too spineless to stop Hillary from tearing apart the party all for the sake of her ridiculous 2012 campaign.

9. Note the media manipulation at work here... and consistent messaging between MSNBC execs and Hillary
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 06:53 PM by Leopolds Ghost
Is there any doubt powerful and internally-organized forces are at work
in the upper echelons of our nation's news media?

This is not a matter of mere monopoly or common interest. The US news
media now engages in well-organized, internally directed cross-platform
campaigns like you see in Russia. There is a military precision at work
and has been for some time.

(also cf. blm's article on the character assassination of Gary Webb.)

Character assassination + exploitation of racist sentiment is a
powerful tool of covert information warfare. Look at how easily people
on DU bought into Operation Destroy Kerry in 1994 onwards.

30. umm - only YOU obamababies haven't been paying attention...
YOU all thought it would "go away" the FIRST time - and it STILL hasn't - and in fact - it's getting BIGGER all the time - like a giant snowball careening down hill...

Sorry - your claims that this would be "done with" the FIRST time didn't work...

This one has LEGS!!!

And it couldn't happen to a more deserving Crowd of synchophants...

20. Bullshit. What candidate would he have in mind
Edwards holding out tells me he's playing both sides. I see a run again for him. If Edwards wanted to really throw his weight and support into this he wouldn't have waited so long. Edwards was in third and perhaps if he had the media on his side it would have helped, but I saw just as much animosity against Edwards as I do with Obama. And the suspicions of a 2012 run with Clinton, is also felt by me toward Edwards.
