The Democrats are actively self destructing as we speak.

The current Republican party is not remotely conservative (at least in the right ways), has been too long under the sway of that terrible neoconservative philosophy, has fielded IMO, the worst president of modern times and generally has as many political hacks and tools on its dole as the Democrats. But, the Democrats really can't seem to pull off a winning campaign to save their lives. You hand them a clean layup to win the game and they blow it on a slam dunk attempt.

What's funny is that after years of providing lip service to minority and gender rights and simply counting on lesser of two evil voting among these segments, the democrats have finally fielded a two finalist candidates that cancel each other out in those areas and do so in an increasingly divisive manner.

The real Obama we know and love in Illinois (let me count the ways, Todd Stroger endorser) is starting to come out nationally, and the Hillery we all know and love is, if anything, even more arrogant and shrill. McCain would really have to self destruct to blow this one, IMO.

No...Obama has no chance, even if he wins every State primary leading up to the convention. It will be McCain vs Clinton, just as I predicted in 2003, with McCain winning easily, helped in large part by Dems like myself who can't stand the arrogance and dirty politics the Clintons have resorted to.

Barack Obama has 40% of the delegate/superdelegate count, Clinton currently has 37%.  Seems like a pretty close race right now and certainly too close to call with the certainty you have, where do you get 'no chance' from, Airhead?  Am I missing something?

Chairboy, just watch what happens at the convention- the difference between the Democratic and Republican primaries is the Republicans put their guy up against nut burgers like Huckabee to make him look more centerist, but we've known McCain has a lock on his party's nomination as pay back for backing off on challanging Bush in 2003, and there was really no serious challange to him this primary season.

The Dems, however, operate under the guise of a free primary but when it comes right down to it their canditate is chosen from the power elite among their party, and Obama is seen as more of an outsider than Clinton. He has no chance, unfortunately.

I think mac has a huge case of Texas envy..  I'm from kalifornia so I don't blame him tho.

I think that billary will have the half negro guy kneecapped or simply "commit suicide in the park" before it is over.

Her idea of looking more human, less reptilian, is to lie like a barfly about war stories.

I've been thinking about this aspect. I think the Dems need to avoid it at all costs.

If the rank file Dem voters come to the conclusion that the nomination was stolen from Obama by the old line white power base in the Democratic party, what happens vis a vis the Party and its main constituent group that is currently voting overwhelmingly for Obama?

That would sure give Wright something new to rant about, wouldn't it?

If the Dems have the same voter turnout for the election matched against the turn out of Reps. McCain just had his butt handed to him. No question IMO.

Most people are asking themselves, do we want another 4 years of Bush. Because that is all McCain is. We'll see. but as I stated above. The voter turnout already has McCain beat, hands down. <shrug> If Billary and Obama happen to team up (questionable), McCain is just so done.
