This long campaign is exactly what Obama needed to prove himself

[tridim]

So for that, I thank you Hillary.

You're next McCain. Have fun running against hope as the "despair" candidate. :evilgrin:

[babylonsister]

1. I absolutely agree, which is why the TX/OH primaries in 2 weeks

will be a romp, I hope. :evilgrin:

4. Watching Obama's speech tonite in TEXAS ...

Latinos seemed to be conspicuously ABSENT.

6. They weren't in San Antonio

7. Watch it again. Latinos were mentioned and cheered. They were

there, and they approved!

18. You missed the long chant of "Si, se puede!"

:shrug:

[nomorewhopper]

20. i'm so glad i read your post

i didn't know what they were chanting, and just figured that the audio wasn't good enough to pick it up

[janetblond]

2. Why does McCain always look so goofy?

I think his arms are too short for his body.
Gawd! RePUKEliCONS are creeps.

[tridim]

8. I don't know, but maybe McCain should just drop out now.

Obama is going to kick his ass all over America.

I'm guessing McCain will be a national joke by about August. Maybe even sooner.

11. I believe he has permanent damage in his arms from being tortured as a POW n/t

[phillysuse]

21. McCain's shoulders were dislocated when he

was a prisoner of war and tortured by the North vietnamese.

he can't lift his arms beyond 90 degrees (above his shoulders)

3. Theres so much shit to heap on McCain... I wonder if his health will even take...

him thru November actually. You can start with his 100 years in Iraq and end with Bomb, Bomb, Bomb,... Bomb, Bomb Iran comments.... and enough in between to sink him for sure. His obvious age is going to be an issue if pushed, and on and on and on... The only way this fossil can possibly win, is if the election is stolen with the help of a Karl Rove.

[tridim]

10. Obama will be so far ahead by Nov they wont be able to steal it.

[keep_it_real]

5. Obame is well up to the challenge

Go! America!

[depakid]

9. Don't worry- the fun has just begun

Obama hasn't proven anything yet with respect to his ability to take some heat- but that'll change soon enough.

[tridim]

13. As Michelle said, "he just ducks, weaves, adjusts his tie and moves on"

Teflon baby!

[depakid]

15. "Teflon baby!"

Teflon is a product of the corporate media, which will turn on him with a vengence once he's perceived to have secured the nomination....

Personally, I expect them to wage by far the ugliest campaign that I've seen in my life, at least.

[tridim]

16. What evidence do you have that he will do that?

Links? Video? Anything.

[depakid]

19. Experience and observation

It's absolutely naive to think anything otherwise considering the history of the past 20 years.

Of course, there will always be those who think that cats just up and change their stripes... and they're almost always in for both a reality check and a BIG disappointment down the line.

Wait and see.

[tridim]

22. You're living in the past.

Move on man! America is changing right before your eyes.

I'll go on record right now, Obama will not go negative because he wont need to. He'll defend himself against the GOP attack machine, but that's it.

It's just not his style, people like him because he's positive.

[depakid]

23. You're living in a fantasy world

America hasn't changed one iota- not for the better or more rational at least. No matter how much you hope or wish, the reality is that the far right and their media surrogates are just chomping at the bit- biding their time until he's the nominee.

Once that happens, the assualt will be so whithering- and the candidate so inexperienced that I suspect there's a good chance he'll not only lose in November, but end up as a one term senator.

Hope I'm wrong- but then again, I hope I win the lottery too, sometimes.

12. Obama Pancake on ebay - seriously!

We need to raise the money to beat not only McCain but as many Republicans as we can to build a strong majority in both houses of congress. Donate to Obama's campaign or the democratic party. You can even bid on an Obama pancake on ebay. We need this momentum to turn into a huge democratic dominance in November.

[tridim]

14. Hell yea!

Welcome to DU! :bounce:

[XemaSab]

17. God, McCain looks like that "thumbs up" is hurting him.

Can the guy at least go get some physical therapy or something so we don't feel like we're beating on an old, disabled man? x( :shrug:

[THUNDER HANDS]

24. this is going to be like a combination between the 1984 and 1996 election

With Obama playing the role of Reagan and McCain playing the role of a bumbling Bob Dole.
