Isn't it odd that yesterday, the same day that Bob Novak ran a column saying that "some Democrats fear" that Obama can't win in the general because of the "Bradley effect," Pat Buchanan and other right wingers took to the airwaves, quoting Novak and advancing the same argument? Isn't this rather suspicious?
First of all, just who are these "some Democrats" and why in the hell are they pouring out their hearts to the likes of Novak and Buchanan?
Second, isn't it odd that just a few weeks ago, these same guys were all over the place saying that Obama couldn't possibly win any primaries, then he can't win primaries in predominantly white states and then, once he started cutting a swath through red and blue states across the country, they switched their argument to "he's not doing well with Hispanics?" And since that doesn't seem to be working, pivoted again to wringing their hands and bemoaning, "Oh, Lord! White people won't vote for him in the general!!!"
Don't you find this all a little suspicious? Doesn't it make at least one eyebrow go up to see how the right wing machine is marching out with the same talking point - one that is supposedly based on what "some Democrats" have told them?
I think it's clear as day what's going on. These guys are getting scared to death because they have spent the last four years gearing up to run against Clinton and think they know just how to do it (I beg to differ with them - no matter what they have thrown at either her or Bill over the years, they've managed to eat their lunch and move right along, so these people don't need to be so cocky - but that's another point). They are scared to death that they won't get the Hillary they know but the Barack they don't. And they don't have a clue how to run against him.
They're scared to death of Obama.
So, PLEASE don't fall for the okey-doke. If you're planning to vote for Hillary, by all means vote for her. But if you're planning to vote for Obama, DON'T back off of him because of this right wing bullshit. And if you're undecided, please don't let the fact that Bob Novak and his ilk have warned that he can't win anywhere in the United States weigh into your decision. It's a lie designed to sow doubt and fear among current or potential Obama supporters.
DO NOT GO FOR IT!!!
