Yes, he’s in pretty good shape. But if he’s going to stay in good shape, his dumba$$ campaign workers are going to need to avoid doing stupid stuff like this.

But Billy, dale... You forget who he’s trying to get votes from...
Liberals...
Che is like freaking Jesus to those people. He probably WANTS that pic out there. The lefties will rush at him like lemmings to a cliff... |

The Democrats moved away from winner take all awhile back, though I think Virginia has its apportioned by districts so a big Obama win there might became a large number of delegates. Clinton is definitely out if she loses either Texas or Ohio — and the superdelegates are already signalling they don’t want to somehow deny the will if Obama has a clear lead. Hillary isn’t that good a candidate, and her strategy of experience (I’m not sure where she gets the claim she has experience, but...) and ’competence’ would have functioned in 2004 when there was still fear about 9-11. But now people want change and are deeply cynical, so Obama and McCain (and Huckabee, actually) speak more strongly to that mood. Huckabee may still have some life left in him too — which might be good for McCain, keeping some focus on the GOP and not just Obama. |

Even among liberals, that is a losing proposition. You would lose 1000 people for every moron that was attracted to that psycho (Guevara).
Obama may try to ignore this, or he may make a statement, but the statement will be a clear message of disapproval of Guevara. If he made a statement that was even slightly equivocating, he would drop down to the teens in national polls before the Texas primaries even happened.

Sarcastic — I wish that were true but that’s not my impression. Who’s buying all those Che T-shirts? I agree with Prof. Erb on this one: most Americans have no clue about Che.
And no way is Obama going to address this. |

Obama is a uniter. "Together we can go from Big Government to even BIGGER government! Together we can go ALL the way down the Road to Serfdom!" |

Lets not forget Hillary’s soon to come crusade to seat the FI-MI delagates she "won"
Between that, Superdelegates, and whatever else she can manipulate, she’ll be working every angle to squeak by |

Seriously, how many people in the general public know anything about Che? They might recognize the image, but that’s about it. Lets not forget Hillary’s soon to come crusade to seat the FI-MI delagates she "won" To have any chance Hillary has to win Texas AND Ohio decisively, and use that as a way to turn around the campaign, win Pennsylvania and head into the convention with the pledged delegate count very close, and with her having momentum.
Because while I understand that some of you think the Democratic party is run by morons, it would be an act of political insanity to simply let Hillary do some kind of behind the scenes deal to get nominated. She’s not that powerful; the party establishment will back whoever can unite the party and give them a chance of victory. If they think it’s Obama, they’ll go there (though it will be interesting if Florida and Michigan are told they can hold caucuses to get a delegate slate chosen...) |

Boris:Because while I understand that some of you think the Democratic party is run by morons, Pretty close to morons, but not as safely so as yourself, Boris.it would be an act of political insanity to simply let Hillary do some kind of behind the scenes deal to get nominated. She’s not that powerful; the party establishment will back whoever can unite the party and give them a chance of victory. If they think it’s Obama, they’ll go there (though it will be interesting if Florida and Michigan are told they can hold caucuses to get a delegate slate chosen...) Obama is going to try to argue that the superdelegates should follow him because it’s the "will of the people" while arguing that Florida and Michigan should not count. Sounds a lot like the Gore strategy in Florida in 2000: "We want a full and complete recount in the four counties where we are likely to pick up votes from the margin of error. Let the voice of the people be heard!"
Alternately, (if I’m hearing Boris’s recitation of the latest Obama talking points correctly) Obama will consent to a do over in Florida and Michigan on the presumption that the Obama wave will sweep those delegates into his camp.
If the Clintons let Obama get away with either strategy they’re insane. |
