    Resistance Is Futile

    "Repeat steps 1-3 until you get some sense knocked into you."

    Oh, dear. One could make the case its infantile to insist a presumptive nominee is the nominee before any votes have been cast. Go look at a few recent polls. Go look at a current electoral map for Obama (259 - LOSER). Then look at Kerry's map in August of 2004 (317). Then look at Clinton's map the day she suspended (327). Better yet, look at today's NBC/WSJ poll - Clinton's polling 49% to 43% McCain... 4 pts higher than Obama and her campaign's been suspended for two months. Then come back here and make your naive case that Obama stands a chance in hell of winning.

    Methinks you're the one who needs a reality check.
