    @jillh

    you don't get it. by insisting almighty obama of the great anti-iraq speech and reverend wright be your candiate and making even hillary seem too far to the right for you, you PROVED in most people's minds what the GOP has been saying for 20years , esp the past 8. That the Dems are completely controlled by leftwing extremists.

    Issues won't help you now. It's over. Unfortunately as I said sometime ago, Obama is likely to take the razor thin Dem majority in Congress down with him.

    The left didn't HAVE to snatch defeat from victory's jaws again. But let's face it; it's what they do best. I'm digusted AND done with this and you're going to find I'm far from alone I'm afraid.
