GOP knows how to play the game - they invented it
The GOP starts the general election at an advantage, America has never had anything other than a white man as a president. Never. I hold no fanasy as to how ready America is ready for a black man or a woman, based on current obvious racial and gender tensions within our society. For either Obama or Clinton, they are starting on an unlevel playing field.
Some of the punk posturing that the general election is a walk-over for Obama is ridiculous. The GOP wins presidential elections, thats what they do. Look at their record in recent presidential elections since Reagan. Look at the latest RCP national polls that now show McCain beating either Hillary or Obama.
But if according to the bravado, the GOP is really in a hopeless position, explain how a man, who was a mediocre governor, a failure in all of his business transactions (even with the advantage of his fathers powerful network), a drug addled alcoholic, a POW, and an intellectual fly-weight was elected not once but twice by a GOP machine, that could do things like negate the great economic prospertity of the Democratic Clinton administration and turn a decorated war hero into a coward.
If any candidate underestimates the GOP, they might as well put a shotgun in their mouth and pull the trigger. It's over.
Actually would not be suprised if Hitler came back from the grave, the GOP machine could probably get him elected.
