Jittery donors want Obama to step it up

[William769]

They might have a war chest in the bank and a candidate who draws rock star crowds, but that doesn’t mean Barack Obama supporters aren’t getting the jitters as primary season rapidly approaches.

After all, despite the good press and enthusiasm surrounding Obama, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has stayed solidly ahead in polls and conventional wisdom.

"There's a lot of amateurish thought that he should be in a much stronger position at this point than they think he is," said William Daley, brother of the Chicago mayor and a prominent Obama supporter, of the chatter among Chicago donors to the Illinois senator’s campaign. "That's creating a little bit of backbiting beyond the normal stuff that happens around this time of the cycle."

get over yourselves ... your "inevitable frontrunner" has miles to go, and I don't think she's marathon material once more billary trash surfaces

2. Billary?

What a strange, right-wing meme to use here.

And what "more" trash is going to surface? They're the most investigated people in US history.

8. William, I think you have always been kind and respectful-

I have no idea why some posters have to be so rude they attack rather than debate.

4. Yet another hit piece from the RW tool site politico.com.

No surprise there. I can't believe some people here still take that site seriously. Lame.

6. You have never posted anything from this site that was positive for Obama?

Remebmer the search feature we have on DU.

5. Well what are we supposed to do now?

I didn't pay my electric bill last month, I gave it to Obama. Now I'm not so sure with this new development, I may have wasted my money. Obama keeps coming out with more strings attached to his platform. He seems to be pandering to the Right with this gay thing saying he's worthy of their vote because he believes gays can be cured with religion. On top of that he's squeezing me for more money, money I don't have.

If there is mail in my box this morning demanding more money, I'm gonna scream bloody murder.
