Reply #74: Maybe not UNelectable, just NOT EASILY electable [View All]

I do not believe that Obama is unelectable (or Clinton either or Edwards if he had been our nominee, but those are a different discussion).

I do think that Obama will be much harder to elect than his strongest supporters claim and harder than it should be. I supported Edwards and I will work hard for our nominee (most likely Obama). But I have no illusions that it will be easy. Many of the problems on the horizon are the result of Obama having manipulated his life story back when he wrote Dreams and of him not being challenged on those details during the primaries.

If we screw up again and let McCain win, my being pissed off at Obama and his supporters would not matter; having McCain appoint justices to the Supreme Court would be devastating.
