Obama nation's power
Edited on Fri Apr-18-08 08:56 AM by Upton
Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, and Domenico Montanaro

ObamaNation’s power: Curious of what the bitterness and anger could look like if Obama is somehow denied the Democratic nomination? Check out the reaction from the ObamaNation over Wednesday’s debate. To put it simply, ABC was under siege yesterday. This may only be a taste of how the ObamaNation would react to a Clinton nomination imagine what Clinton delegates and undecided superdelegates would face this summer if there is doubt.

it’s also what the GOP would face in the general election, especially if Obama is nominee. The level of devotion among Obama's supporters rivals what Bush had with his flock in 2004. The left-wing blogosphere is MUCH more powerful than what you see on the right this cycle and it reminds us of the advantage Bush had in '04. While we all know about that so-called right-wing voice machine, don’t forget that there is now a left-wing noise machine (on the internet) as well. And it has found its voice.

2. We know it--but it's nice to hear it said this way.
Chuck Todd is cutting right through the spin that says there's still a primary race going on.

The next president:

3. and y'all thought
chicago '68 was bad. just try to take this race with supers, hill. just try. (and for all you people who think this is a threat of violence, do do your homework. it was not the hippies that turned violent. it was the cops. so you folks in denver better bone up on the first amendment.)

4. conservative voice, liberal noise
"While we all know about that so-called right-wing voice machine, don’t forget that there is now a left-wing noise machine (on the internet) as well."

Subtle.

6. Good way to turn off even more voters!
The whiners want the White House!

And here I thought Hillary would be the biggest motivator of the repubs, I was wrong!

10. Hillaryworld is apparently opposed to the left wing having a voice to match the right.

13. Obamanation or Abomination????
Cult like movements scare the daylights out of me. Dissension is essential to a healthy democratic system, stifle it and you end up with a dictatorship.

17. Clinton supporter hopefully predicts a McCain blowout. Said prediction is as likely
as Clinton supporter's earlier predictions of a Clinton blowout.

21. What joke?
The joke about to be played on the American people when they realize that they are about to nominate a guy who might not be electable in the fall?

22. The "lol call them ObamaNation it sounds like abomination" joke, which has since
become passé, and then adopted ironically by Obama supporters.

26. Now I'm slightly curious.
Did you actually look at my Kool-Aid man avatar, my Obama-Kool-Aid man signature, and then think to yourself, "man, you know what would be a clever comeback? Referencing Kool-Aid!"

19. So they're going to dismiss all the criticism as just angry left wing bloggers?
How very sad. They aren't going to learn a thing or admit that the average American was disgusted whether they support Obama or not.
