From the most recent Daily Kos post-The Obama close
The Obama close

"You know, I was going to vote for Obama and even announced that a week or so ago. But this is a great example of why it's best to wait and see how things shake out. Not being blinded by candidate worship, it's easier to sniff out the bullshit. And you have to have your head stuck deep in the sand to deny that Obama is trying to close the deal by running to the Right of his opponents. And call me crazy, but that's not a trait I generally appreciate in Democrats, no matter how much it might set the punditocracy's hearts a flutter.

I don't get to vote for another month, so we'll see how the next four weeks go. Certainly none of these guys have earned my vote yet.

Amazingly enough, none of them walk on water, no matter what their frenzied supporters might think."

1. Now that Obama's got some momentum, I expect much more of this
There are people who have been pretending to be neutral on him, who will now go on the attack. Kos is one of them.

2. It would have been nice if he had given some examples
of how Obama is "running right".

Wonder what it would take (not that I buy Kos' posturing)?

5. There are candidates to the right of Obama....Hillary for one
This quote was pathetic. It is obvious that this person is way, way, way opposed to Obama. So who is the one that is better?

At least have the candidness to say who it is....
