Don't forget ...add in 1.7 percent to Obama's total because..
According to CNN, that is the amount of votes that Hillary got from Republicans who crossed over to vote for her, and will not vote Democratic in the November Election. Given that, Obama got 47 percent, not bad. Hillary's strength had been decreased from a double digit lead to basically 5-6 percent. I believe part of this was Obama's message, and part was the way that Hillary presented her message. That fear mongering, especially on Iran, is, in my opinion, a reminder of the Bush/Rove method. A methodology that is dishonest and ugly.

1. Not able to spin Obama's loss, his supports make lame excuses for him
This has to be one of the lamest excuses for Obama's lack of performance yet.

"Obama lost because the Republicans Cheated!"

8. The truth is Obama just doesn't have what it takes to pull off a clear victory
Obama has more money.
Obama has the media.
Obama has a more vocal support group.

Obama is going into Denver even-up whit Hillary.

14. Obama sure seems to be getting a pass on several hard issues
Then when ABC actually poses questions like the FOX network would, ABC get the royal hit job treatment in the blog-o-sphere.
I bet ABC won't do that again.

9. PA is the Dem Machine State. Months ago, everyone knew the spread would be 5-10 points
This primary changes nothing. Right on schedule. It just draws out the vicious infighting.

3. Yes, the media will never admit that it was a 9 point spread.
That "double digits" meme is just so media friendly . :eyes:

Obama did a nice job of closing an almost 30 point lead HRC enjoyed three months ago.

Go Obama :patriot:

12. Why? not because the media is in favor of Hillary, but because it hates Obama. Why?
Because the media stands to lose money if Obama wins. Obama will support an increase in media players in the industry, and he will keep the web open to more players. Hillary will play ball with the media, and allow the few players now in control to remain in control. Why? because the media has supported her, and that is the way the game is played. In return for the support of media giants like CNN and others, Hillary will leave them alone to control the news. Entrance may be restricted even here on the web.. Obama's attempt to open up media to increased competition (FCC appointments), is opposed on every level by current media giants....

10. That's funny. He's been instructing his minions to vote for Obama lately because they
suddenly decided he's the easier one to beat. Those people are all insane. I can't imagine every registering Republican.
