    Just Curious...

    1) How will Barack Obama win the general election if he CAN'T attract the very voters that Hillary Clinton IS winning...from middle-age to older women and men, blue-collar workers to Latinos?

    2) How long will Barack Obama's coattails be? Long enough to increase the paper-thin majority we have in the Senate and to increase the majority in the House?

    3) Should he lose the general election, will his supporters whine that "Hillary Clinton lost it for him because she didn't quit"?

    Nevermind on #3; I already know the answer...unfortunately.
