Real One of Decatur asks...

Why can't we see that Obama is NOT electable? Do your research on George McGovern and Michael Dukakis and you'll see the same set of circumstances and their landslide loses in the general election. Unfortunately you can't become the president with primarily the black and youth vote.

Obama's alienated the two groups that win elections and just happen to be the stumps from which Republican's stand, blue collar Americans and conservative Christians. The first group he called "bitter" the latter Reverend Wright is the polar opposite of.

What I wish we'd realize is that Obama, not the media; not Hillary Clinton; has dug himself into a general election hole trying to finish off Hillary Clinton. He made a calculated mistake by joining Trinity Church to get elected to the state Senate (a demographic he needed at the time) then not distancing himself before he decided to run for president.

These are mistakes HE MADE that will make it difficult to get elected in November. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the guy I just don't think he's presedential material.
