Now that Obama is kicking ass, will the other candidates drop out of the race?
I mean, is there any other candidate that can raise $2,000,000 dollars in four days?

Is there any other candidate that can be witty, intelligent, and critical all at the same time, and look good doing it (Leno Show)?

Is there any other candidate that can draw 20,000+ people at a speech in the home state of the front-runner?

Is there any other front-runner candidate that can draw on their judgement of the Iraq war and be right about it?



Let's grow up people. Clinton, Edwards, AND Obama all have a chance. Shit, even Biden and Richardson look to be doing better.

Can we stop with the bullshit posts already?

4. Here's your problem: No Republicans will vote for Obama. How do you fix that?
I don't know if they'll vote for Sen. Clinton!

9. Will the Republicans significantly vote for any of our candidates?
Of course not. Certainly not Edwards after the Republicans get through with him.

11. Maybe not, but I've talked to at least four Republicans that like him.
I haven't met one that like any of the other Democratic candidates.
