Frankly I wonder if we won't see a self implosion by the Obama camp when they face some real opposition. All that campaign money, his lack of real accomplishments (even in Illinois), his liberal voting record, his need for tax dollars, and his naive foreign policy approach will all be exposed and examined. The harsh light of fame isn't treating Ms. Obama all that well the last few days. Her silence in the face of criticism only speaks to their arrogance. I find Obama boring and someone that likes the sound of his own voice. Fourty minutes last night? Give me a break. This isn't Cuba. This is a high risk candidacy for the Dems.

An 80 year old inarticulate curmudgeon against a young, articulate, inspiring visionary. It's not automatic for the curmudgeon. If anyone can sell a vision of a non-right-wing America, it's Obama. |

Barack Obama was a state senator. Hope is making a comeback.

Hillary is a known factor, Obama isn't. I never said it was automatic, indeed it is an uphill struggle. McCain is not at all likable. But I don't see Obama as invincible. The electoral college map is not his friend. Also, Obama has never faced the type of salvos he will start to face. His wife's comments are the type of thing that energizes electorates. His church will become an issue, further energizing people to vote against Obama. I still say high risk.

Yeah, I do. Hillary has not gone as aggressive as she could have because she still needs those Dem votes. Also they generally agree on all the issues. Such will not be the case in the GE. I think I've already listed several issues that McCain can raise that Hillary won't.
That said, I expect Hillary to go full on negative over the next primaries. Nice to soften Obama up for McCain.

The Clintons have already been floating the idea that Obama is too left-wing. The problem is that they can't make this argument without damaging themselves.
