After contentious event, Stephanopoulos on the defensive, Obama on the offensive.
  • Hyperbolic followers

    these issues, unfortunately, *do* matter to voters

    what do you think is swaying voters more, hillary's healthcare proposal or the bosnia flap?

    You mean the proposal Elizabath Edwards endorses over Obama's, one which cost him their endorsement???

    Obama's wildly hyperbolic followers can best be described as "drama queens" in its most perjoratve sense. They rant and rave every time anyone dares to question his record, and when he is called on it, they become rabid. Such is the case that the more they engage in this irrational behavior, the more average voters, with no investment in his candidacy, will flee him in droves...in 1968, Nixon cashed in on the "silent majority's" reaction to the scenes of kids rioting in the streets of Chicago during the Dem convention. McCain will do the same if Obama's frantic fans don't simmer down.
