Yeah, Eb... Just let Obama get a little closer to havin' the the nomination in hand and it will be "Swiftboats, start your engines" and what we're seein' now will look like a 60's love-in by comparasion...

But I believe that Obama is ready for it... Yes, he will be find it hurtfull but it will aslo be an opportunity to *prove* what he has been saying all along about civility... These are tests and if the Repubs think they can show Obama to be weak, should he weather this Swiftboat Storm then he'll come out a stronger candidate...

No time for a Ed Muskie meltdown...

If I'm Obama I'm thinkin', "Bring it on, baby... Bring it on..."
