Obama may be suffering from the same condition Clinton had -- Inevitable-itis.
Since 2004, Hillary thought she was inevitable. She apparently wasn't.
Since Hillary ceased her 2008 campaign, Obama thought he was inevitable.
The problem with their mis-perceived inevitableness is that it made them appear haughty, and the general populace doesn't not like haughtiness.

Jesus was a community organizer. Che Guevara was one too!

Kirsten Powers is one of the few on the left who “gets it”.
However, the left will never acknowledge this.

In my mind Obama blew it with a deft one-two punch, not the single missed punch of attacking Sarah. Punch one of the deadly one-two combo was not only not selecting Hillary as his running mate, but dis-ing her too boot. And then, just to make sure his run for roses would be a real challenge he took on Sarah, and not only Sarah but her precious little baby boy and her 17-year-old daughter. Gotta hand it to this guy. He's not asking for an afternoon stroll into the White House. No sir, he's going to make it as difficult as possible. Maybe he's impressed by Rush tying one hand behind his back “just to make it fair!”
And he's not expected to take it to the Republicans on his own. Nope, he gets his running mate to take on no less an authority than the Roman Catholic Church and its beliefs and teachings on the beginning of life.
Hillary was in Tampa yesterday carrying the Obama banner at a meeting where she spoke to about 2,000 supporters. I haven't seen any video, but the audio sounded like something from the Stepford Wives, and the audience response was really subdued, in fact less than lukewarm.

Wow. I didn’t know that Jesus signed up voters who didn’t exist. Learn something new every day.

Those on the left who still have some sense of responsibility and decency will criticize Governor Palin on issues. But they are so few that they are completely drowned out by the rabid partisans who attack her family, her faith and her morals while frantically tossing out charges about “scandals” which vanish to irrelevance upon even a cursory examination. With supporters like these Barack Hussein Obama is headed for a solid defeat in November.

"When she (Palin) retaliated (justifiably) by mocking his stint as a organizer, the Obama camp was clearly rattled. Obama himself actually began arguing about the importance of community organizing. His supporters amplified this cry - claiming Palin's attack was a racist slur and passing around e-mails titled "Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor." "

Strange, she looks like a Conservative Republican:
...give her time.
To: bobsunshine
The entire article is a must read.....she really nails it.
Alaska? they sneered. It has the population of Las Vegas! Funny how the coastal elite only sneers at red states with small populations. Howard Dean hailed from a blue state with almost the same population as Alaska and was a national phenomenon and front-runner for the presidency. Joe Biden’s Delaware has a similarly small population - but no mocking was forthcoming there.

They DO hold us in contempt! As they see it, how dare we - small town Americans, challenge them, our big city betters. As far as they are concerned, Sarah Palin got "too uppity" and it was time to put her back in her place. We'll never vote for them so they took it as license to abuse us, trash our values and make fun of a candidate whose background is from our world. No - they don't understand Red America!

She is at that and defies undeniable truth #24. However, at times when she has guest hosted on Hannity & Colmes, she is unable to hold her own, especially against Rove or Gingerich. But admittedly, she is eye candy....

Obama landed himself in Chicago, the site of the big Democratic Criminal Political Corruption machine, and he does have disrespect for small town or rural people. He needs to be taught a lesson. Big cities are the more wicked places in the USA.

Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor.Dems seem to be "bitterly clinging" to this belief.

Most Americans think that the media are cheerleading for Obama, so they'll punish him for the reporters' and editors' sins.
Live by the media, die by the media.

Powers is better than most on the Left and comports herself just fine when substituting for Alan Colmes.
It is my understanding that Powers is from Alaska, and that she is none too pleased with the snobbery toward her home state.

Kirsten Powers is a lib, but not one of the loonies. Perhaps the close contact she is having with those who work at Fox News is rubbing off. When you don't need to impress the folks gathered around the liberal water cooler,perhaps...just perhaps...the brain becomes reengaged.
