Reply #105: Why are all the Obama supporters committing message board seppuku?

The Clintons are going to try to steal the nomination from him. He can either fight for it or roll over and let them. If he rolls over, he doesn't deserve it IMO.

I think you are underestimating Obama's fight. He made a minor tactical mistake in not pushing back on CLinton over the last week. He knows how stupid it is for the Democratic candidates to try to destroy each other. Hillary wants to get stupid, and I suspect he'll let her have it.

And go look at an electoral map. Here is one:

Obama can win the nomination without FL and OH by taking Kerry's blue states (which is probably a given), VA, and either MO, IA, LA, GA, CO, NM, or NV. Of that group of new states, Obama won VA, MO, IA, LA, GA, and CO.

This is why I have been harping on Obama picking Tim Kaine as VP. That pretty much gives us VA and puts McCain on the defensive in 8 states.
