"They're asking for another four years -- in a just world, they'd get 10 to 20."

I didn't think so.

He can earn my vote by asking his supporters what was more important to them, defeating clinton or getting the country back in the right track.

And he'll get an enthusiastic cheer from me if he asks his supporters what was more important to them, punishing a politician for a controversial vote that empowered a president to start a war, or getting the country back on the right track.

Cause aside from how it will help to unify the party, I still think most of obama's support was,at the root cause, a protest vote against Clinton.  I mean nobody believes his post partisanship routine, ....  Etc.  What else was obama besides a way to punish Clinton for something?

It's awfully convenient to pick one little sound-bite or one little phrase to support the apparent argument that he's the worst thing ever...

That, of course, presumes that the writer has never misspoken, or that they themselves have never been taken out of context.  Folks with teenagers will know what I mean; they've had to deal with that kind of behavior.

Further, where's all the parsing of McCain?  Worse, in mot cases, no one even has to; he regularly repeats his or reprehensible comments and policy positions.

Last I checked, Pelosi and Reid aren't running for President, Obama is.  How are their activities even remotely connected to his campaign?  and, why, for God's sake, won't anyone even acknowledge the reality of how Congress works?  Those people can't flip a switch without a veto-proof majority, which they just don't have.  So, be realisitic.  Until we have a veto proof majority OR a Democratic President, nothing you want is going to happen.  Which, of course, further strengthens the case for Obama.  

God forbid anyone actually look at the substantial negative ramifications of a McCain Presidency and do the right thing.

The choice is now clear, so there isn't any more convincing that needs be done.  Oh, sure, it's nice when someone grovels, but he doesn't have to.  We're beyond that.  We're in the GE and he's the nominee.  

And the pettiness...his speaking style.  Who, frankly, gives a sh!t?  Clinton WAS a horrible speaker at one time.  Kerry isn't great...are you honestly going to vote on public speaking style?  Do you boo the kid who fumbles the national anthem at the game, too?

The whole "we don't know him" is such a canard.  By now, if you don't know about him, it's willful.  Millions of words written.  Interviews, debates, on and on and on.  And they all say the same thing, that he's a fundamental liberal (FISA be damned...like you've never heard of political compromise, either).

4 more of bodies coming home in bags and chairs from Iraq and Afghanistan...

4 more of a war on our own people, with millions of pow's...

4 more of unsound fiscal policy that will eventually bankrupt our arses...
