Nice statement.. (2.00 / 2)

I do, however, have one question and one comment about..

If Obama can't win a general election under these intensely favorable circumstances because he can't win over ardent Clinton voters, than he has a core problem that is HIS problem.

1. What about Clinton, should she win the nomination, winning over Obama's "ardent supporters"?  He has earned about 18 million voters...

2. and "that is HIS problem"... I respectfully disagree as a Democrat.  It is OUR problem....


Obama supporter who is damn glad Hillary Clinton is a Democrat!!

There will be work to do (2.00 / 1)

no doubt - but I put my money on Clinton's ability to win over a large number of Obama supporters (and regretfully say good-bye for now to some die-hards) - here's the basis of my position -- once the Obama campaign quits spewing forth lies and disinformation and making opinions sound like they're the truth simply because "the Great One" spoke them -- once the Obama induced race baiting stops -- once the arm-twisting guilt and shame machine stops -- and all Democrats have the chance to objectively evaluate her  life's work and strategies on actually getting legislation PASSED - I think that many more will come around. This business of a new face in Washington just doesn't fly - we need someone who can work within the system to bring better economic and social equality to more people.

This is what I mean...You could, very easily, just switch Obama to Clinton and vice-versa and people would think it is an argument for Obama..I give up...If people want to shit on Democratic nominee, by all means they have that right...I'm sick of trying..Good luck to you and the "President Clinton or nothing" mentality..

The problem is that a great many of the people (none / 0)

believe that the system is the problem.  Change the system, not just the folks running it and then you have something.
