Here's a chance for Obama to show what he has left. In previous races in states like Indiana, he's always been able to pull ahead towards the end of the race and win, sometimes by huge margins. If the same doesn't happen in Indiana, you just know the Clintons are going to be all over Obama's weakness, and rightly so.

Since Indiana is a neighboring state then they should well be aware that as a state senator Obama's greatest accomplishment was voting present 130+ times (which means he didn't do his homework or wouldn't vote one way or the other). I remember John Edwards response when in a debate Hillary brought up the 130+ present votes. Edwards was floored and said so. Indiana voters whould be aware that as state senator Obama did practially nothing and spent all of 15 minutes in the US Senate before deciding to run for president. Obama's resume is way too thin to be qualified to be president of the United States in these troubling times.

Hillary can do it and will do it. Obama can't and won't.

Carole, Fort Lauderdale, FL — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:44:10 GMT

I think the Democrats have to do some serious changing of the entire primary system that is in place after this cycle. It so obviously doesn't work at all. Plus, the fact that the states allow crossover voting permits all kinds of shenanigans and it's clear that the Republicans who have been voting for Obama in all the red states through this primary season will certainly vote for McCain in November so the red states stay red.

In this country, the failure to use a popular vote system for elections has resulted in 8 years of George Bush. The candidates have to run their campaigns based on 'electoral' math for the general elections. The Democratic candidates have to run their primary campaigns based on completely ridiculous and almost meaningless math for the primary elections, what with caucuses, regular primaries, and the dandy prima-caucus in Texas, and strange allotments of delegates in certain states.

Since no one wants to change the rules to accommodate the legitimate Florida vote, and to continue to disenfranchise a very large swing state who came out in huge numbers for the Democrats, all of whom were on the ballot, SO THEY ALSO MAY NOT CHANGE THE RULES ON THE SUPERDELEGATES.

The intent of the party in having superdelegates was to prevent an unelectable candidate from getting the nomination at the convention.

The only reason Obama did as well as he did in January and February is because he made great speeches and folks didn't know certain things about who he really was -- they still don't -- but what they have found out over March and April appears to indicate that a lot of early primary voters might be voting differently today, ie, serious buyers remorse.

This is why the superdelegates exist and they should do their job and make sure Hillary is the Democratic nominee. Clearly the GOP is salivating at the chance to demean Obama, a pretty good guy who is just unelectable. Hillary should be the candidate --she is so clearly indestructible -- and the superdelegates can and must do it.

Remember folks, Obama promised he wouldn't be running for president in 2008 -- just another of the promises he has already broken in his short time in the national arena -- has he really even been a senator before he started campaigning for president? Oh yeah, he kept voting the fund the war. We don't need four more years of the hell the GOP has created. ALL SUPERDELEGATES NEED TO DO THEIR JOB AND ALL COME OUT AND ENDORSE HILLARY!

Obama cannot back into the nomination. Losing the majority of the last states to vote, and getting enough delegates only because the Dems distribute by proportion is a sure sign of weakness. How is it going to look when Obama stands up on the podium in West Virgina after losing the state by getting only 45% of the vote and those delegates he "won" put him over the top? What's the message? "We got stomped again, but now I'm the nominee!"?Obama will look like a bad joke when this happens.

The N.C. GOP ad attack against Perdue and Moore that connects them with Obama and Rev. Wright that is going to aired on local stations, the ad does not reflect North Carolina values. There are several subliminal coded race messages lodged in the ad . The National Republican Party and Senator Mc Cain have asked the N.C. GOP to take down the ad. It has refused. I have asked local stations not to contribute to stirring up racial animus. I wanted to let our local media markets know how we feel, if they choose to air the advertisement. We are their viewers Also I am have asked Senator Dole and Senator Burr not to contribute to stirring up racial animosity. I want both of them to join Senator McCain demand that the N.C. GOP attack ads be pulled. The Clinton campaign has been conspicuously slight on this issue. Race is in the campaign because Senator Obama is an African American, but racist tentacles do not have to be in grained in this campaign. We are better than this as a nation, as North Carolinians.

Carole in Ft. Lauderdale- Perhaps Obama forged ahead in Febuary because he had a long term plan and Clinton did not. The leaked strategy paper of the Obama campaign has been remarkably on target.
Regarding your popular vote argument: Clinton signed on for the same rules and for the same punishment of Florida and Michigan and it is only after falling behind that she thinks the constest is unfair.
Your argument that Obama is less electable than Clinton is hogwash. If you look at the exit polls from the big states that Clinton has won her core constituencies prefer Obama over McCain by substantial margins and he does much better with independents than Clinton. She will not be the nominee because :
1. she ran a disorganized campaign based on the arrogance that she would win early and easily
2. she will be behind in delegates at the end which is the determining factor for selecting the candidate
3. she will be behind in popular vote even if you include Florida
4. the risk of alienating Obama's cosntituents will be to high for the Superdelegates to chance.

So take a deep breath and enjoy the primary show that is increasing democratic voter registration and exposing the republican lines of attack in the fall.

The demographics do not favor Obama, the racial make up is only 8%, its rural and blue collar working class and a large faith vote. Outside of Gary, the state is more like Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Wrightgate and bittergate and liberal leftgate will come into play in the state. North Carolina is another story and could be a blow out for Obama. The racial makeup here is 21% and I know people don't like to talk about it, but if he was not getting those 90% box car numbers, he would not even be in the race today. Plus N.C. is not like S.C. as it is a more diverse state. If she can keep it under 10 points it will a victory, of sorts.

Since it's so sacred to Democrats that this policy remain legal (even w/ the advent of the day after pill,) you should be applauding the man.

Carole in FL- First of all, Go Gators! Secondly, you're right- nobody should change the rules. Let the superdels take it from Obama if they dare. As you suggest it's their job. But as you also suggest, Mich & Fla. cannot county either. I'm an Obama supporter and I want all the rules followed. I'd love to see revotes in those states because they'd get him closer to 2025 even if he lost. All the "blue-collar" Dems who'd vote for McCain against their professed economic interest if Obama's the nominee because of race or because they think Hill's dirtiness is an asset will deserve whatever horrible foreign policy & economic consequence befall them.

Dems are in a pickle either way now, but I think they should go w/ the guy who brings in the new people and find a white person like Jim Webb or Sebelius of Kansas to run w/ him to appease the masses. If it's Hill she's p'd off so many in my community that she'd have to pick someone like a Harold Ford as VP to get the numbers she'll need to win in the general.

Andrew Dzeguze, Elmhurst, IL — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:35:47 GMT

Until a year ago I lived in Indiana and met many of the heavy hitters in state politics, so I think I can expand on the nature of Indianapolis voters. First, it wasn't just DST (which a lot of people supported) that made Bart Peterson lose. Bart aggressively pushed change in many ways. He sought to eradicate homelessness, a plan that I think made a lot of middle class folks who thought they had elected a businessman type uncomfortable. For those who don't know, Indianapolis is co-extensive with Marion County, and that meant for a long time there was a lot of duplication between city and county agencies. Peterson sought consolidation, which may have been sound policy, but was hugely unpopular with police, firemen, a number of political activists and unions generally. The city also ran into problems with major construction projects, including building a new football stadium and central library, and had to be bailed out by the state (or at least that's how it was spun) on the former. The biggest thing, though, was property taxes. Over a decade ago, Indiana's property tax system was declared unconstitutional because it basically undertaxed many large homes. Every time the state writes a new plan, though, counties and cities create irresponsible loopholes once people start screaming about taxes going up, basically undercutting any value of the reform. Peterson's opponent, like most Republicans, promised significant property tax relief and Peterson didn't. That galvanized property owners all over the city against him. This has been a key thing that Republicans have run on in Indiana for
a decade now, and it still works.

So basically, a white mayor upset his white constituents by being too liberal and expecting them to fund change that they saw as not directly benefiting them. Those same people say they hate the do-nothings in Congress, but elect the same people over and over. So, basically, they are like everyone else.

"People here practically revolted a few years ago when their governor, Mitch Daniels, pushed to change to daylight saving time like most of the country."

The problem was not daylight savings time, but which time zone is Indiana in. The Gov. Daniels non-solution greatly increased that problem - for example where I live; the school district is split between two time zones, the athletic conference is split, work is conducted in two zones. It was the worst of all solutions.

Then there was the selling (for 75 years) of the Indiana toll road (I-80) to a Spanish-Australian company for trinkets - just to balance the state budget. No road improvements can take place on other free roads.

We don't like crazy decisions - this from a governor out of the President mold.

I also noticed that the cable shows that want to beat up on Obama get the republicans as guest to speak in place of the Dem party. We all as Dems have to answer a few of questions of ourselves:
1. Do we really want another republican in office after what we went through the last 8 years? We wouldn't be hurting anyone but ourselves if we vote for McCain.
2. If Hillary was given the nomination over the probable(Obama) What will that tell us as Dems? That our votes mean nothing? That the supers are the only ones that have the mental compassity to choose the candidate?
3. Why do the republicans want Hillary as the candidate? Is it because she would be easier to beat?
Do they know something that we dont?
As a friend of McCains, he may have the inside scoop.
My point is, This is exactly what the republicans want. Division between us because their candidate is so weak. Just remember that, in the long run WE CAN"T AFFORD ANOTHER REPUBLICAN IN OFFICE AFTER WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH.

In short, I say that a church is more than its minister. It is a community. To turn your back on your church is to shun your neighbors and your community. This is wrong.
