Reply #63: I haven't been a supporter of Hillary Clinton, but I think most DUers are [View All]

[The Backlash Cometh]

hounding Chris Matthews for the wrong reason. I just saw the clip. It was a valid question. The reality is that the Dem guy was not prepared. We've known for weeks that people were launching this criticism againt Barak, so why hasn't Barak sent out the talking points before now?

Two things have carried him this far: (1) he is an inspiring speaker; and (2) People are afraid of the Hillary factor -- afraid that she'll stoke the Republicans to come and vote against her, and afraid that the Clinton triangulation technique is going to lose the progressive vote.

In sum, don't get mad because the Dem rep came unprepared to his show. Obama has accomplishments. List them, circulate them, memorize them and don't get caught unprepared again.
