David Gergen just said Obama is now in the position Hillary was in-

[jenmito]

He said Obama feels like he deserves this nomination but now Palin came out of nowhere and he didn't expect it, and he's thrown off his game. PLEASE! Hillary didn't expect that someone would be able to run a better campaign and beat her. Obama EARNED his win. Palin was picked by McCain and has given one speech over and over and is liked by conservatives. Period. Things are coming out about her already. She's no Obama and to say so is insulting to Obama and everything he has accomplished!

1. one day gergen will choke on his own swollen tongue

[democrattotheend]

4. I usually like what he has to say

Although I don't fully agree with him on this...although Palin did come out of nowhere.

[President_Obama]

6. gergen has always been a naysayer

[jenmito]

9. Obama didn't come out of nowhere, though. He started right at the beginning with

Hillary. She underestimated him, but she knew he was there.

2. Palin whining about sexism will only hurt her.

Conservatives are reactionaries who hate women. It will scatter their base.

[jenmito]

14. True but my point is that SHE, unlike OBAMA, didn't get to where she is today

because of hard work that Obama didn't anticipate. She just got picked by McCain's base.

[TNMOM]

3. Gergen is an idiot

I don't underestimate the GOP wingnuts and their chicanery. But ENOUGH. Not this time. There is way too much momentum behind Barack.

17. Hey-did you see the article about how they fixed the polls?:

5. Gergen's actually a smart guy, but tends to say shit sometimes when he's pressed for words

One of the few Republicans who isn't a brain-dead moron.

[FrenchieCat]

7. Gergen thinks he has all of the answers.....

which is why he works on CNN as a commentator, and will not leave a mark in the history books.

Gergen forgets that Obama is right on the issues....so Gergen is playing the Character game, while Obama is laserbeamed on the issues.

10. spin spin spin rinse repeat spin spin spin. nt

[BlooInBloo]

11. It's just stupid on so many levels.

[chitty]

12. They are on so much, everyday, that I think they

just run out of shit to say.

Blah Blah Blah.

16. I think they like to keep this "exciting" narrative going...

at the expense of integrity.

[donna123]

13. I know Gergen's a repub

but he did work for Clinton and he makes sense to me. Am I being gullible? Not necessarily about this remark but other stuff.

I do think Obama should be talking about the economy. Just in the past week, what have we heard?

1) higher unemployment rate than expected
2) highest suicide rate among troops since Vietnam
3) biggest deficit ever
4) frannie freddie bailout

repeat repeat repeat connect the dots
what does mccain have to offer that's different than the horror that has been inflicted by bush? he wants to continue the same policies that have gotten us into this in the first place

of course there is the problem of having the media cover it since they're more interested in creating a soap opera with Palin

[Imagevision]

15. Gergen is merely an opinion, Obama always gets tougher/smarter when things go awry

7-9 days, Obama will have the current situation stabilized.

[crazylikafox]

18. Hillary's game got better once she realized she had fight on her hands.

She almost pulled it out in the end. Obama can use this to his advantage. America LOVES an underdog.

[jenmito]

19. Yeah, but they're not comparable situations. Obama wasn't running against Palin and

underestimating her.

[curious one]

20. Total bs.
