Obama criticizes Paul Krugman and suddenly Krugman is the General Petraeus of the blogosphere.  Obama says he will negotiate directly with foreign leaders and now he is too liberal. Comes out with health care plan with no mandates and he triangulates. Cheap shots from every direction.

Certainly there are valid criticisms of Obama, he isn't perfect and neither are the other candidates.

Liberal views could haunt Obama

He's certainly made compromises, but in the compromise department, it's obvious to me that Hillary Clinton in her time in the Senate, has been far more willing to set her progressive principles aside, and cater to the right wing and conservatives.

He's ready now.

First, let me just say that anyone who accuses skin color as some part behind the reasoning will find themselves banned

that gets you banned but if you say the opposite, that people support him because he is black that is fine?

Also from MyDD's david mizner:

He'll change things. How so? He's black. That's a good reason to support him, I said, and I meant it. He's eloquent, someone said. Definitely, I said. Two people said they felt much better about Obama because he'd been blessed by Frank Rich.

This coming from his random sampling, which is of course some people he met in a bar. Hum at MYDD you can use your bar friends to make it sound like Obama supporters only support him because he is black.  But if someone suspects when you say he is unelectable, and that is based, on not substance but rather because "it's more just a feeling," that this "feeling" may be his race.. BANNED

The word the pops to mind is hypocrite.

The truth is we don't know who is more electable and voting for someone you don't really like because you think you can get others to vote for them strikes me as a losing proposition.  That was part of the problem with Kerry, IMO, many people who voted to nominate him didn't like him that much, so how do you convince the rest of the country that he's the guy?  "He's not my first choice, but you should vote for him," isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

I tend to agree with Bowers that one reason why Obama seems to get such different reactions from folks is because there is a difference in how they see the current culture.  I understand Obama's appeal to people who want to move past the current partisanship.  Unfortunately, I find myself on Bowers' side and don't believe that's possible, making me want a partisan candidate first and foremost.  So the things that draw others to Obama, drive me away.  Just as the things that drew me to Clinton, which includes her strong partisanship, drive others to Obama.  Perhaps that's one reason why things have gotten so nasty of late - it's not about a particular policy, but a worldview and those can be a lot tougher to reconcile.

Ms. Billionaire anti-union TV celebrity

She isn't antiunion. Are you have desperate now you have to trash Oprah?

lying oppo against Edwards and the Whirlpool plant closing.

First off it was a cheaply made fax of a supposed oppo piece that i doubt his campaign made.  second nothing in it was a lie.

Then check the latest polling on who runs best against the ReThug field.

yes the latest poll shows that, but there is no consensus among polls that Edwards is the strongest.

Remember how Kerry was Mr. Electable and Dean couldn't win.

Turned out Kerry was too busy to respond to the Swift Boaters and his 'campaign' went down with all hands.

Mr. Edwards responded: "Well, I've been very aggressive about ending the war, and from the very beginning, and the things that we need to do to bring this war to an end," he said.
