We have a lot or work, if you are in a state that has not had it's primary or caucus, then find an Obama group and get involved, or start one if there is not one in your town. If you have already voted, get on the website and make some calls. Trust me, this is far from over. We will be hearing a lot of talk about how Obama is in the front spot, do not believe it. Work as if we are always 20 points back until the polls close.

Complacency is one of the worst things that can occur to a campaign.

3. You are right. It's always about identifying our voters, and getting the to vote.

4. Of course, it's not over...
It's never good to get over confident in anything..especially politics. You'd think everyone would have learned that the last 8 years. I'm betting hilary, herself, has found out how true that is.

5. when Hillary said "I have more experience," the charge came
back,"Why does Hillary say blacks are too stupid to be president?"

Every word from them is turned into a terrible, personal racial attack against Obama. You can turn on any political talk show - even today - and within 15 minutes someone will mention Bill's "shameful" remarks about race in Carolina.

The thing is, nobody will quote him because when you repeat what he said, it doesn't sound racial so they simply refer to it as racial and the press turns on their echo machine and suddenly the Clintons are the Supreme Dragons.

The press and the blindest of the Obamaniax will have you believe that Bill Clinton, the slickest black president ever, can't even open his fool black mouth without uttering some horrible racial slur that everyone agrees is terribly offensive. Donna Brazile just might up and quit the party next time Clinton opens his racist mouth again.

But the minute Obama gets the nod, everyone is going to be SHOCKED when the whore media turns on Obama to elect McCain and saying "I told you so" won't help.

9. Obama actually has MORE experience. It's not about race or gender.
If you are so pissed at what the pundits say, write letters to your local newspaper, call MSNBC, CNN, FOX. Do something to stop it. I feel that the Clintons did nothing wrong, said nothing wrong. However, i think their attacks on Obama pissed the voters off, not about race, just that Clintons attacked Obama. It pissed the African American groups off just like the "pimp her out" comment has pissed mothers off. It has nothing to do with race, or the clintons being racist.

Fact, these cable shows are not getting that many viewers.
Fact, Cable news has been pitting blacks against white.
Fact, cable news has been pitting blacks against Hispanics.
fact, cable news has been pitting old against young.
fact, Cable news wants to make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

6. It isn't over yet. but the math is undeniable
Edited on Wed Feb-13-08 11:49 PM by Johnny__Motown
She has won about 48% of delegates so far, she need to win over 60% from here on out.

Possible but not likely

If she loses Ohio it is pretty much over
