Obama's chances are getting better...
...why? Because the people who aren't supporting him are getting angrier. :evilgrin:

1. Exactly
That's the #1 sign. Watch Bill and Hill the next few days. If they start dropping expectations, they have problems.

2. always a good indicator
when the attacks start coming in more shrill tones, you know the drum beat of defeat is getting louder.

6. But Clinton's Got A Great Shtick To Exploit
She gets shrill. Pundits attack her for being shrill. A large-enough percentage of women "of a certain age" then vote for Clinton because they feel she's being picked on by men.

Ugh.

Obama needs to come up with a good way to handle this.

8. Yes, that's why
Pat Leahy endorsed him and that's why Bernie will endorse him- because he's really an evil repuke in disguise.

10. Replace "Clinton" with "Obama" and you've got it right.
Many Democrats will sit out the election if Clinton is the nominee, and she embodies the rallying call for the wingnut base who will come out in droves foaming at the mouth to vote against her.

And I suspect you know that.

7. I met up w/an older man from Germany last night
I asked him who he was going to vote for and he said "Senator Obama". I told him I had voted for him as well. He said he thinks that a President Obama would be America's chance to change the perception of America all around the world and that he thinks that Obama would make a fine president. I agreed with him.

He was surprised that I had not voted for Hillary Clinton being I am a woman. I told him that sex nor race played a role in my decision as to who I was going to vote for. I voted for whom I believe most closely resembles and voices my concerns and hopes for the USA.

Obama may be the shocker of all shocker. I've noted no signs nor bumper stickers being seen. :wtf: is going on? The silence is almost deafening!

:dem: :kick:
