23. Bottom line: the American people are ready to buy what he's selling...
Edited on Wed May-07-08 06:29 PM by scheming daemons
Clinton supporters, like yourself, have continually misread the electorate this year.


When America sees a young, passionate man with vitality standing on the same debate stage as a tired old man (both chronologically and ideologically), it will hit them .... This is the guy.


It will be the JFK/Nixon televised debate all over again. It will be Clinton vs. Dole in '96 all over again.


Subconsciously, America likes youth and vitality.


Couple that with the fact that, on 8 of the top 10 election issues this year, the American people favor the Democrats.



You continually keep thinking this election is just like the ones in the past. Like the snake James Carville said... there is NOTHING typical about this election. This is different. 1.5 million donors is three times as many as ANY Presidential candidate has ever had. People, in large numbers, are not only emotionally invested in Obama - but financially invested.


Obama will win in November... and it will be surprisingly easy. Something like 53-47 in the popular vote and 320-218 -ish in the electoral vote.


America is ready. You people are misreading the electorate.
