4. Obama may very well be our nominee
He certainly has the momentum

I'd like for him to start focusing on the general election now.

How will he handle McCain?

Obama has positioned himself to win independents and moderate Repubs.

But those groups are McCain's strengths too.

6. One thing he has started doing that I think is really smart:
He constantly refers to McCain's "half a century of service". It's one of those backhanded things where he's praising Grampa McCain, while reminding everyone how old he is.

34. I see your point,
but Obama has to be careful. My husband, who is no spring chicken, voted for Obama in the primary.

However, my husband is a former Navy fighter pilot like McCain. If he thinks that Obama is dissing old people, then he will vote McCain. I think Obama would lose other older voters too, and there are lots of older voters!

I think McCain will be a much more formidable opponent than Hillary. And he will fight much dirtier too.

I just say these things so that we can be prepared. I do NOT want a Repub in the White House.

35. McCain will be formidable but if the Dems are smart we'll take him down
It's time for us to play hardball offense instead of defense. Kerry could have beat Bush handily, had they simply put out ads showing Dumbya reading a children's book while planes flew into the WTC. We demurred from doing stuff like that because it would be so unseemly. Screw that. Let's run ads showing Grampa McCain hugging Bush, cutting cake with him during Katrina, and singing "Bomb bomb bomb Iran". It's time to rip their heads off and shit down their windpipes.

But Barack shouldn't be the one to do it. Let the surrogates handle that while he praises Grampa for his "half a century" of service.

Half a century. That's a long ass time. I don't care how old you are. I bet my bf's 88 year old mom would think McCain was too old if she heard that over and over again.

37. My God - did you see the contrast in the cut away from Obama's speech to McCain's?
I saw that and winced. By the time McCain had told us he was "fired up and ready to go," the only question running through my mind was "LANDSLIDE?"

31. But her plan doesn't have any specifics
She talks about bringing out troops within 60 days. That is admirable, but she doesn't offer any other specifics. There's nothing about a timetable for withdrawal. No numbers of brigades she'd take out. I'd like to see some more detail before I can support her ideas.

17. She is a bit but this is NOT the Bible Belt
Virginia yeah but not Maryland-not that they are churchgoers and all they are just not considered part of the Bible Belt. That runs across the south.
