Obama has peaked too soon.

[johncoby2]

The mainstream media has pegged Obama:

He cant win the big states.
He cant beat McCain.
He has lost momentum.
He got his ass handed to him in PA.
He cant shake off Rev. Wright.
He cant win the big one.

This is all clear indications that he has peaked too soon. He has lost the edge in the independent voters. He loss in PA was significant since he only won the inner cities (3 of them) leaving the entire rest of the state to Clinton. It is clear he cant do that on a national level and expect to win the country.

Obama has peaked. The rookie can't close the show.

1. Hillary peaked before Iowa. THAT was too soon.

[scheming daemons]

4. ...and McCain peaked in 2000...... Let's just say.... I'm not worried.

[K8-EEE]

28. Yep......she has been on a downward spiral

It doesn't really impress me that she can only improve her numbers by dragging her opponent in the mud.

[Window]

41. LMAO!

:rofl:

[rsmith6621]

2. Hillary Peaked Last November

and it has been downhill since.

.....eom

[quiet.american]

3. Oh, c'mon -- bite me. nt

[johncoby2]

7. ahhh the smell of bringing people together.

Obama style.

[quiet.american]

10. Hey, I'm not running for office, I can say whatever the hell I want. :) nt

[johncoby2]

25. Neither is the Rev Wright.

You ought to invite him to perform an exorcist at your church or home.

And then pray to Obama.

[quiet.american]

29. Exactly -- "there shall be no religious test....," but why let the Constitution bother us? nt

[NJSecularist]

20. More unity from the hope and change crowd. n/t

[quiet.american]

24. Yep, still hopin' you'll change and see the light. Come on in. nt

[scheming daemons]

26. LOL.... YOU were in that crowd a week ago... and you'll be in it again a week from now....

...

[NJSecularist]

31. Sorry, but I was never a kool-aid drinker like some of you were.

I liked Obama because I thought he had a better chance of being elected and he was a bit more liberal than Hillary. Now, I don't think he is electable.

I never doubt into the "hope and unity" message. I knew that the rethugs had no interest in working together.

[crimsonblue]

40. at least you're not a fair weather American..

:sarcasm:

[johncoby2]

30. The Obama crowd is just as ruthless as the Clinton crowd.

They just don't know it.

In 4 years they will be the target of the crowd calling for change from those who use the politics of hate over the politics of hope.

So much for unity, hope, and group hug crap.

[JackORoses]

32. I'm glad to see you've accepted that Obama will be President for the next 4 years

[Colobo]

5. BS.

[Lisa0825]

21. BS - it's what he's best at.

:eyes:

[johncoby2]

27. Very nice come back Lisa.

Good to see you are still around.

[booley]

6. well I am sure glad the media is here to tell us what to think

Why bother deciding anything?

We have corporate media to decide our elections for us.

I mean, they've been so right on everything so far.

48. Alerted

But maybe I should have let it stand, since it shows the true face of Obama supporters. Hope and unity my ass.

[blue sky at night]

15. this is one of those.....

funny posts, you know, where you are supposed to suspend your disbelief....right? or just say ha ha, that was funny! oh, and btw...how many presidential campaigns is that for you now Hill?

[uponit7771]

16. I didn't know Hillary was an ASSHOLE for 15 years!

[FrenchieCat]

17. Advisory warning!

[blue sky at night]

37. dude....

wow! that chart has it all down to a "tee"!

[barack the house]

18. Voters will transfer a blue state will be a blue state, and Obama is fiananciallyh competitive. n/t

[Lisa0825]

19. Hillary never peaked.

She has been behind since Super Tuesday.

Ms. Inevitability, indeed... her campaign has been pathetic and inept. I cringe at the thought of this joke of a campaign going up against the GOP.

[barack the house]

23. Yes 3rd in Iowa and second ALL the way through the race. If this says winner I'd love to know more.

[fishnfla]

22. had

[Rosa Luxemburg]

33. nonsense

[smalll]

34. You headline is far too easy on the O-man. Obama has CRATERED too soon!

Especially if we get the next installment of Obama Wars (possibly opening soon at a theater near you) -- The Pastor Strikes Back!

[PurityOfEssence]

35. The media PEEKED too soon...

Then again, it can go either way.

We haven't really heard about Bill Ayers yet, or Raila Odinga, or Nadhmi Auchi...

The Wright issue isn't over yet, either. If Obama gets the nomination, the reactionaries will pore over sermons and cross-reference them with Obama's attendance and "gotcha" him on the inevitable hot potatoes. After it dies down a bit, someone will ask Obama, point-blank, whether he knew about Wright's assertion about HIV. There's no particularly good answer to that.

Either way, he may have the momentum to force the issue and take the nomination despite all this. Denver could be truly nasty.

People of this stature owe us something, and more than anything else, they owe it to us to be squeaky clean. The road is hard and the rest of us have dreams, too.

[TragedyandHope]

36. Sorry, I ignored everything after "The mainstream media"

[rudy23]

38. I don't think he's come close to peaking yet.

I think that once he finally gets to unveil his "general election" personality, it's going to be lights out.

42. Nah, I've never liked him more than I do today.

Its very weird but I now feel more invested in him as a person and human being. Watching his pain over the Rev. really got to me.

I'm seeing him grow through trials and tribulations and I like how steady and thoughtful he is.

What can I say? I love the guy.

[eridani]

43. The Tuzla liar can't beat an ex-POW n/t

[casus belli]

44. What does that say about the other candidate who can't close the gap? n/t

[PDittie]

45. I believe the tide IS turning.

In all seriousness. And it makes me nauseous to say so.

And I would not have said it even last week, but I now believe it is apparent that Mrs. Clinton is gathering momentum for a late surge to capture the Democratic nomination.

If she pulls out Indiana and makes it close in NC -- as the recent polling indicates she is doing -- her case for the nomination becomes stronger. Obama is having difficulty shaking the seemingly endless Wright controversy, and every day that is the news it hurts him.

One other statistical observation as evidence in the case for Mrs. Clinton: both retail store figures as well as eyewitness accounts across the country report a collapse in sales of thong underwear and a strong increase in that of 100% cotton granny panties.

(Gotcha.)

[cali]

46. I think that's wishful thinking on your part

If Obama had peaked, I don't think you'd be seeing the SD endorsements keep rolling in. Yesterday he got 4. Hillary got 2. And 1 was particularly interesting. Former DNC Chair under President Clinton, Joe Andrew, who endorsed Hillary on the day she announced, switched to Obama. Why would he do that if Obama has peaked? He wouldn't.

Obama was expected to lose in PA, just as Hillary was expected to lose in Alabama. Nothing particularly earthshaking about either loss for either candidate.

Obama can win big states, and in any case he can win the states Hillary won with the possible exception of FL- and I don't Hillary could win it in the general either.

Of course he can beat McCain. They both can.

I don't see Hillary pulling it out at this late date. She certainly tried her hardest. I'll give her that.

[Freedom Train]

47. K&R for the morning readers!

[graycem]

49. Hillary peaked about 7 years ago. n/t

[bowens43]

50. Yet he is clearly beating hillary across the board......

The so called experienced candidate can't even open the show let alone close it.
