"Unfortunately, when I consider Obama's lack of overall qualifications plus the vehemence of his supporters, I hope that Obama loses this year. If so, we can field a much better and more able group of Progressive candidates in 2012."
Ana, what in the world do Obama's supporters and their "vehemence" have to do with electing a "better" candidate? Please make that connection. As for qualifications of HRC, please prove that she will be able to *effect* the big changes she has touted.
As far as I can see, Barack is being challenged in his party by a cadidate who has proved to be light on big changes despite her long resume in D.C.. On the other side is a respected dinosaur who will lose unless a bomb hits LAX. He simply has no plans to reform our economy or anything else. Good luck with that McCain!

Bitter much? You appear angry that Hillary has lost, not at Barack's ability to win. And in case you have missed it, he was been winning across virtually ALL demographic categories. I guess your allegedly progressive colleagues must be similar to that miniscule demographic that Hillary won over in Hawii. In case you have also failed to notice the numbers out of Wisconsin, Barack won't need you to beat McCain in the GE.
