Obama is a political messiah and is moving large numbers of everyday people. White guilt is a huge factor.
If he wins the D nomination outright, he ^will^ be the next POTUS.
We need a brokered convention with several attempts at “theft” by Hillary. That will destroy her credibility and weaken Obama considerably.
Without D in-fighting, McCain will be toast in the GE.
I respectfully remind you that this is the PRIMARY. O is moving large numbers of radical democraps, not "everyday people".
White guilt is a huge factor.
White guilt is a liberal phenomenon. It's arguable whether or not it even exists in moderates and conservatives... but even if it does, it is worn only as a badge among one's friends... and evaporates when the ballot is marked in secret in the voting booth.
If he wins the D nomination outright, he ^will^ be the next POTUS.
At this juncture, I respectfully disagree. O's message has not been tested against the electorate, only in the echo chamber of the D primary. And his negatives and liabilities are only now being explored.

A nasty convention fight that bloodies both candidates and airs all their dirty linen is one acceptable outcome, IMO, but I'd still prefer to see hillary destroyed outright BEFORE the convention. But I think the "bloody convention" outcome is only possible if Obama is well ahead going into the convention. Even if he basically ties OH and TX, he will NOT be well ahead, if you take into account superdelegates and Clintoon dirty tricks. So, in fact, the "bloody convention" argument is one more reason to support O in the primary.
Without D in-fighting, McCain will be toast in the GE.
Again, I respectfully disagree. But, assuming for the sake of argument you're right... do we really want a guy for President who is too stupid and clumsy to beat an empty suit Marxist? Johnny is a big boy. He needs to get his $hit together and build a campaign that can shred EITHER H or O. My goal in this primary is not to try to guess who JMC can handle the easiest. My goal is to vote for the good of the country -- and that's AGAINST hillary.
