Subject: RE: BS: Prez surrogates & the race/gender war
Bobert, I don't dislike Obama any more than I dislike Clinton. I don't trust Obama more or less than I distrust Clinton. You, and everyone else posting here knows that.

It is my opinion that Clinton will be the better candidate against McCain in the fall, for a myriad of reasons, one being she knows the guy really well. And of course, now with the Wright controversy, I believe if she doesn't get the nomination, that McCain will win.

I will repeat this once again Bobert. It doesn't matter anymore what Obama's supporters, or even the majority of Democrats, believes about Obama and Wright. What matters is what the general election voters, the far more socially conservative group, thinks.

And tonight, it doesn't bode well for him. I just finished watching Hardball, where nearly every single person on the program was clearly of the opinion that Obama would win the nomination hands down, and Clinton doesn't stand a chance of beating him.

Until the videos got out on You Tube, and the polls came in this morning showing Obama's efforts at damage control over the weekend didn't play in Peoria.

Which is why Obama will make the speech about Wright tomorrow. Not to "appear presidential" but, as someone said on Hardball just now, "to begin digging himself out of the hole he finds himself in right now."

And you know, this is really sad. Because I believe this circumstance is one of Obama's making, and no one else's. He should have cut this guy loose & changed churches long ago, when he knew he had this blind ambition to become president.

That is what we are seeing in Obama, the same way we saw it in Spitzer. Their downfalls, should one occur w/Obama too, will be of their own making.
