Obama talking about who would get Hillary's supporters vs. his if either were to drop out (T.Russert
I heard that on Tim Russert yesterday-- or sometime-- there was a clip or something of Obama talking about who would get his supporters vs. who would get Hillary's if either of them were to drop out.
If anyone can help me find this in any form it would be greatly appreciated.

1. I think that was a hell of a spin. Democrats will vote for Democrats against McCain

Republicans will be at odds with themselves over Romney or McCain, so I wouldn't worry about what repubs and indies will do

2. That's how...
... I sort of heard it. I heard it second hand, but supposedly he said that he thought that Hillary's supporters would naturally go to him, whereas his wouldn't so easily go to her?

3. Well, he's just special, you know
Obama supporters too often display an arrogance and intolerance that is a turn-off to other people who might be trying to decide between the two candidates.

4. he is stating facts on that i believe
He has a fair number of independents and republicans supporting him, if he looses the nomination they are not all that likely to fall in line behind Hillary, whereas Hillary's supporters are mostly the democratic core which is a lot more likely to fall in line behind the democratic candidate

Thats not looking at the youth vote tho, didn't include them as i have no idea how they would react to an Obama loss

7. Does Senator Obama Fancy Himself As The Pied Piper?
I continue to listen to to both Senator Obama & Senator Clinton (both of whom I like), but I heard this remark (albeit truncated by the M$M) and didn't like it - I didn't like it at all...
