Obama went after Clinton's super-delegates (5.00 / 1) (#62)

using the "race card."  So it seems poetic justice, somehow, that Repubs now go after Obama's super-delegates on that basis.

But yes, it's a sign again of bad times down-ticket for Dems, as we've said here before about the need for coat-tails come election day to get more Dems in Congress.  Even if we do get a Dem in the White House, we need more Dems in Congress.  And if we don't get a Dem in the White House, we desperately need more Dems in Congress.

Obama win spells doom sez the pit of my stomach (5.00 / 1) (#80)

And this isn't just the GWB "First Gut" answer he gives after not using his coconut for an analytical function. (Yeah, I know, not capable of generating much, but even a piña colada's worth of juice would suffice here.)

As Sen Clinton's fans (and neutral observers elsewhere) have noted, Obama-mentum has been greatly assisted at the outset, and more lately, entirely reliant on being carred by forces outside his own magnetism (for resources, power and coverage) besides Charisma(TM).

Obama has been carried forward, is becoming exponentially "heavier", and by the time the Dems have to carry him on their own-some, he'll be an outright millstone in the GE.

I'm not being a scaredy-cat fear-mongering evil monster white lady to say so. I've got plenty of good reasons provided by Obama himself for believing he'll be toast in the general election.

YES I have worked in campaigns. YES I have worked on all aspects. No, you cannot afford me.
