Well if Hillary is as smart and as ruthless as we all believe her to be, she’s going to start punching him in that glass jaw, every chance she gets, shattering it as many times as she can, and he’ll be getting his political jaw rewired during the Presidenrial Election Run. And not one insult or pejorative need be used.

I thought it was pretty obvious, myself.

The only reason Obama’s doing so well is because no-one knows his record. If he sews up the dem nom and goes one on one against the repubs, he’ll be forced to reveal his true colours. He can’t hide behind his “change” rhetoric forever in front of adoring fans. He’ll soon have to face the real world and some REAL questions.

That is going to be very difficult for her to do. She is just as far to the left as Obama, and it will be very hard for her to attack him for that. If she does, then all of those words will come back to haunt her in the general election. She needs Obama to implode without Leftism being even mentioned.

Obama has also "distinguished" himself in other ways. For example, he is regarded by some as the biggest spending proposer in the Senate for '08.

He is also regarded by some as more pro-choice than NARAL.

Maybe, maybe not. there are some differences, that she can bang on. She needs to punch that glass jaw, not only on what he has said and done, but on what he hawsn;t said, and force him to declare positions, rather than allow him to continue to skate away wirh his sugar coated seroes speeches. Point out how he unwilling to face confrontations, in his true radical far Left controlled events. Because he is as much a stage managing PR freak as she is, and he won’t “come out and play” it’s not just protecting his position, but a sign of his yellow streak. She doesn’t need to use dirty tricks, bur she needs to call him out and mix it up “politically”, or she might as well save her money and qwithdraw, because she’s gonna lose the nomination to Obama.

Correct. Democrats are good at fighting straw men. If we nominate a straw man, we’re in trouble. McCain needs to stop making the press happy and go on the offense against the left, assuming he knows how. If he doesn’t, Obama or Hillary can successfully pose as a moderate, as you say.

Mere name-calling just gets you into trouble, as it frequently says more about you than the person you’re insulting.

Thanks for the link. After reading the file, I can only say that Obama sounds more and more like a black supremacist.

It makes sense that a boy who is confused by his racial identity and dislikes his mother's race would be easily manipulated by black supremacists and nationalists.

America has a big problem on its hands.

I wasn't name-calling, I was poking fun at how wrapped around the axle people get about certain words, and even words that just sound like certain words. You need to lighten up a bit.
