72. I suggest that you might be
just a little condescending here. Don't gloat. I said this on another thread: I was taught to be gracious in both victory and defeat. Don't kick people when they're down. They just may get up swinging.
Another thought: can Obama win without the support of the Hillary voters? I don't think so. The Repubs aren't gone yet. Rove has been reanimated. What Hillary has thrown at Obama will look story time compared to the Repubs. Rove & Co. have plenty of time to gear up the Obama slime machine. Remember, in 2004, we all thought the swift boat thing would go nowhere. After all, it wasn't true. True or not, in the end, it damaged Kerry badly. It cost him a large chunk of the veteran vote. As close as the election was that may have made the difference.
The same may be true of Hillary supporters this time. They could make that difference that keeps the Repubs from stealing this one. No candidate is perfect. Everybody has at least one skeleton in their closet. If the MSM haven't found anything on Obama you can bet Rove will. Even if he has to, as usual, make it up. People say they don't like negative campaigning. Well it's worked for the Repubs so far. At least at the presidential level. Just saying.
