Obama takes a hard shot in the gut
You know what I'm talking about here. The lunatic pastor.
Here. Let's listen to the Clinton people on this matter...
Wait. They're not saying anything. Notice how very, very quiet the HRC folks have been about this pastor story? They're going to let Obama destroy himself, they need no help.
This idiocy may well have cost Obama the general election -- if he's nominated, because it also may well cost him the primary. And in the general, McCain won't have to touch the subject, because the independent groups will simply go after Obama and run the pastor's speeches over and over again.
And here's where Obama gets into real trouble.
Obama claims he's never heard the majority of the inflammatory remarks. If someone manages to find out he was at one of the pastor's sermons where this Farrakhan-like drivel was being spouted -- in other words, if he gets caught lying about it -- I think Hillary might come out with the stake and drive it through Obama's heart.
If he's to save himself at all, Obama needs to totally sever himself from this guy, and he ain't doing it. I don't know if he can do it.
And if you think this is just me hoping Obama doesn't win the primary, think again, because I would much rather have him run in the general, for two reasons. First, I think he's easier to beat than Hillary in the general. Second, if he beats McCain, at least I don't have to listen to HRC drone on in pantsuits for the next 4-8 years.
So Obama better do something more solid than what he's done so far if he hopes to save his ass. HRC can take this into the convention even with Obama leading and say, look, he's too toxic now, nominate me if you want a shot.
Bad, bad news for Obama.

I'm sure we both love to watch the Dems destroy themselves while burning tons of cash during this primary season. May total chaos ensue! Hell, I'm hoping for pitchforks and torches at the convention in Denver. Let's drink to that, Kip, on this St. Paddy's Day, while there's 12 minutes left.
Don't be fooled. Whoever comes out of this mess will be annointed the "hardened candidate" by the lib media and annointed with glitter. Meanwhile the Repubs will prop the corpse of Juan McAmnesty forward, and then wonder why the money isn't coming in like last time. Dems in a landslide... and it coulda been so easy.
Don't be so quick to write off McCain. Almost all polls still show him beating Hillary and Obama in the general. I'm hoping Obama wins now, because the pastor issue is not going away, and McCain won't have to touch it, the independent groups will do it for him (Swift Boat, anybody?).
I know McCain isn't exactly what we wanted. The simple truth is the conservatives didn't have a horse in this race. But make no mistake, a McCain presidency will be sharply different from a HRC or Obama presidency. And I honestly do think McCain is a good guy, and honest in his comments. He'll make the Bush tax cuts permanent. He knows his immigration bill failed miserably, and he's not going to try it again. It would never get past Congress, anyway.
Most important, McCain will hold the line on foreign policy, will not cut and run in Iraq, will not blink on Iran...tinpot dictators would infinitely rather see a HRC or Obama presidency. I'm practically a single-issue voter this time around, basically on the war/terrorism issue, and on that, I trust McCain fully.
Give him a chance in the general, man. I'm just saying, keep an open mind. And remember what the alternatives are.
