2. No
Neither candidate should stake a claim until the combination of elected delegates and pleadged superdelegates puts them over the necessary number.

5. I think Obama has proven...
that brains and brawn are a winning strategy. Why flail around bloviating when you've already won?

6. He doesn't need to bloviate
Edited on Sun Jun-01-08 11:52 AM by nebula
he simply needs to state a fact.

being assertive is important.

people don't respect someone who beats around the bush.

9. Ask mcCain what kind of wallflower Obama is....
Pay attention to the responses to McCain's slime machine - Bo is counterpunching like the world heavyweight champion....

He doesn't have to to do anything to Clinton. She is immolating herself.
