If Obama is as good of a politician as I think, he will soon exit after extracting his next career
position from Hillary.

He knows the math and since I believe he is a control freak and decision challenged he will never be willing to place his future in the hands of another(his VP pick).

He will never be able to select a VP that will be perfect enough for him and may have already may a deal with the Mayor of NYC to do the selection process for him. A deal that may have avoided a 3rd party challenge but something that now would lead to a total rejection in the GE.

He knows he is not ready for the next stage and if he is honest with himself will step aside and get ready for 2012.

Don't let reality interfere with your stupidity.

21. Obama and his supporters are looking to the future, preparing for the next state...

...OPs type of post is a time-waster.

We have the strength of our community to move us forward to the next victory.

2. Are you on crack?
Honestly, you're calling on the team that's ahead by three touchdowns with seven minutes to go in the 4th quarter to forfeit the game because they think the quarterback might not be able to lift the trophy or something stupid like that.

Obama should step aside now because... he's ahead in the popular vote? Won more states? More pledged delegates? Has a better chance against McCain? Oh wait, now he should drop out because he "knows he is not ready for the next stage". Don't you think he'd have thought of that before he even entered the race?

It's getting weird in here.

Maybe that would be the first sign you don't know what you're talking about.

28. Considering that he DID get this far
that pretty makes what you think of it moot.

31. He is more than handling it...
He is clobbering two of the most famous politicians in the world (Hillary and Bill). By every metric you can use Obama is beating the Clintons.

6. that's beautifull delusional.
he's winning. in fact, it's just about over. Your post is delightfully bizarre. Of course, he'll select an OP- and shrewdly. That's the way he's run his entire campaign. Ridiculous speculation about Bloomberg with zilch evidence, of course.

You may have aluminum poisoning, dearie. I recommend you try and remove the tightly placed tin foil hat you're sporting.

at this point.

....As a character says in an Ed Wood movie after stating an idiocy that completely defies logic. Why do so many people here make human pinatas out of themselves by blurting out drivel based on their emotions rather than intellect? I'm starting to think an IQ test might be a good prerequisite in order to have the right to vote. Where does this shit come from?..lol.
