Obama may be able to win the General Election without the Huckabee supporters. But you may have a point that some patriotic voters, the super zealots, may also feel more comfortable voting for McCain. If that support adds up to a majority of the vote come November, I'd be surprised and disappointed.

I believe that Obama has proven that he can mobilize the center and I fervently hope that he can take back American from the misguided or blatently greedy plunderers who have been in control for the last 7 years.

I do find it hard to understand why some posters here would characterize Obama as "arrogant." Most commentators find his style inclusive, reaching out, avoiding direct attack but persisting in trying to achive his goals, a style more culturally identified with women than with men. Where did you harvest such a characterization, or is it some personal revelation?

I must say that Clinton appears a whole lot more humble now than she did a few months ago. Maybe she's learned something in the campaign process.
