the likes of Kennedy and Kerry this rock star status will push him into the White House. The Democratic leadership are so desperate for a win of the White House this time they are buying into it. I don't believe for a second that they really believe he will make a better president. They have bought into his line that he can get there, and she can't because she is so "divisive". That is the big word they have hammered home about Hillary along with unelectable. Also his campaign has been very toxic and he manages to keep that part hidden. Mostly because of the various type of supporters he has. In addition to the divisive and unelectable crowd he has very young and naive Hannah Montana's, the good old misogynists, total adulation crowd, and the last but not least the "I hate anything Clinton" types. He will lose a lot of support in the GE if he gets the nomination. Many of these folks will be forced to see the real man behind the curtain, and feel deceived.

1. Not just that he can get there
also that he can be controlled by them.

3. Nail on the head with that one!
Did you see Kerry this morning
on TV discussing the seating of
the Florida delegates? He got slammed
for trying to make it a campaign plug
for Obama. His venom during his spiel
before he was stopped was palpable.
He feels the chance to be a puppeteer
slipping away from him.

BO hides the toxicity of his campaign. MSM pukes have smoothed it over for him, like they did for W. Anything he does wrong or stupid gets turned into dirty campaigning by Hillary.

On NBC, I've seen several times, that if they have to talk about one of BO's huge f'ing mistakes or lies, they always include "both campaigns" in the spot, spreading at least half of his problem to Hillary. Brian smarmfest Williams and Andrea pug-ugly Mitchell are nothing but a tag team of suckitude, displaying all the innocence of a couple of smash and grab men.

7. By the time they realize they have been duped by the media
into believing he can win in the GE, though, it will be too late. What is it that Jon Stewart says -- Democrats snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?

I will support Obama if he gets the nomination, of course, but I really feel like we're being set up for McCain to have an easy opponent to beat, and people are buying into it.
