10. People love their Candidates in the primary,
If he "takes down" Hillary, he takes down all the wonderful people that support her. We want those people. He can take down McCain, and both Hillary supporters and Obama supporters can get behind that. I personally know MANY former Hillary supporters who have turned on her because of these macho tactics. We have no idea how many votes she lost because of these tactics. The only "reality" that says it is working for her would be bogus leading questions from pundits who want a fight to report. She is the one doing it wrong. If she had stayed positive, we could all enjoy the media attention on the Democratic platform of ideas. as it is she is feeding the sharks and it will hurt us in the General.

We are SO SO SO beyond the need for that right now. The people feel it. We have a planetary and economic melt down on our hands, and the finger on the button for the next year belongs to an illiterate mad man who is taking the calls at 3:00 am.

Obama is winning the way he is, because of the way he is. I believe that strongly, and all the evidence around me backs it up —the people I talk to, the caucus I went to. To solve the issues we face we need NEW SCHOOL, not old. Watch the young people... they are showing us what they want. It is their planet, it is why we had children, it is why we love them. This is not a game, to quote Hillary.

I AM worried about the voting machines and suspect many of the numbers for both candidates don't accurately reflect the will of the people. I also do not trust the polls because they are often manipulated to change perceptions. I do however believe in the American people's ability to choose a candidate with out the negativity.

In the old days you were not allowed to mention another brand in your commercial. Good idea!
