While we're distributing blame, could we throw just a tiny bit toward Obama's supporter's and campaign advisor's who have been using "Clinton is a racist" as a rallying cry for the last 2 months? I think they bear just a little bit of responsibility for "making race a divisive issue".

Nah, not their fault. It's always, always somebody elses fault.

Unfortunately for Democrats, McCain is NOT Bush. He has a reputation as a moderate, a very good reputation among voter's, he is smart and well-read and can actually hold a conversation that doesn't involve cue-cards. We won't be fighting Bush this election, which may be a good thing, given that the last two times we went up against him, he won.

Very true. But the leftwingers here delude themselves like this every election. Howard Dean was gonna take the country by a storm, remember.

They never ever learn. Ever. After this massive defeat the next time they'll launch all their feeble little spittle and venom against the center left again. No question about it. Dumb as bricks.

The Republicans attacks on nobama's inexperience, the patent dispatriotism of his wife and his associates (as if anyone except America hating uberlefties and AA's are going to vote for someone who hangs out with people who say GD America... all of this will be a very effective bloodbath. And oh, yeah, what will his history on abortion and taxes matter, that never does! Guilt-ridden race speeches when it's costing Americans sixty bucks to fill up their gas tanks.. that'll do it!

I predict 47 states or more to John McCain.

The GOP attack machine is overrated.

Good one. LOL. LOL. LOL. Oh, you're serious too, aren't you? LOL.

Please share that stuff next time.

Not weird. I knew this would happen, when the starry-eyed liberals started insisting we should base our votes on dreamy videos instead of established record. I knew this would happen when the Obama campaign started their sleazy race-baiting in South Carolina. I knew this would happen when Oprah went about hoofing for Obama on stage and infiltrating him with big cash. I knew this would happen when I saw all the GOPsters come over here and pretend to be Obama cheerleaders, spewing their vulgarity and filth like they do every election when they're pretending to be Democrats (and conveniently disappear a few weeks before the election never to be seen again). I knew this would happen when detested loser liberal dinosaurs like Kerry and Kennedy (and now Richardson) defied the will of their very own constituents and decided to prop up a sure-loser like themselves.

Of course we should be enjoying landslide leading digits and be poised to pick up permanent majorities in the Senate and House.

Instead we're going to lose either in a landslide with Obama, or by a handful of states with a now-crippled Mrs. Clinton, and the GOP is going to take back Congress.

it's awful, but weird not. The left has been doing this for 30 years: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and by now they've gotten extremely good at it. Unfortunately it's the only thing they're good at.

And it's why I now call myself a proud independent.

Howard Dean has only made a difficult primary season hopelessly muddled.

That's being way too kinda bout it. He is, the unmitigated disaster he was predicted to be by experienced party leaders. Were it not for Rahm Emmanuel and Charlie Schumer , Bush would still have had a full majority in Congress. But even Emmanuel and Schumer can't save us this fall.

Woe be it the left again foisted disaster on us. But Terry McAuliffe, you know damn him, he just raised too much money, was too good at it!! Far better to have the DNC broke like it is now.

It would have been so very very much better for us had Harold Ford sensibly been made the DNC chair. But you know, he was just too damned center left and too damned effective, couldn't have that.

What Richardson's blessing signified was that an ambitious politician with close ties to Bill Clinton (they watched the Super Bowl together) decided that his self-interest would be enhanced by choosing Obama rather than Hillary.

Well, let's see about that when he loses the governorship next time. Which he will. Hispanics are pissed. You better believe it.

Won't get Obama anywhere, he's toast. But it will cost the now new-aged chub-bug his gubernational. And that, frankly, will be a pleasure.

the strongest issue,and the issue Americans trust Hillary Clinton with, not Barrack Obama and his speeches on hope.

But the left had to have Obama and they had to pull this crap. As always. I mean it's entitlement for a woman with six years Senate and 8 years WhiteHouse experience to run for President, but not entitlement of course for a brand new junior Senator who hasn't even completed his term and was a low-ranking member of the Illinois state legislature voting on parking violations less than four years ago to suddenly up and demand the presidency.
