They will bring in teachers and fellow students from Indonesia testifying that the guy is a muslim and than they will quote statements like his support for the Palestinians. They will than administer the final blow by bringing in his minister or some other respectable person to say that they always had doubts about the guy and his committment to Christianity. Obama will be (accidently of course) be called Osama more often than a dog has fleas and by Nov4th he has done nothing but defend himself and he will go down in flames! Please, let's put somebody in there who is an open book!

A very horrible depiction of what will not happen throughout the election campaign.

Republicans are more ready for a Clinton nomination than they are for Obama's nomination.
As for their ability of raising the nation's fear level, they are already doing this. They are using old nazi and fascist methods to guide the masses to the places they like them to be. This is not a new trick. GWB played this game skillfully in 04 elections. What would you expect our fear level be as long as Michael Chartoff keeps invading Homeland (In)Security?
I believe the solution is not yield back. The solution is not fear of losing. Obama has more wit, wisdom and charm than any Republican nominee has. He can outwit them easily, I believe.
According to latest Zogby poll Obama is strongest against any Republicans:

Edwards 42% McCain 42%

Republicans has more ammunitions against Hillary than they have against Barack. The momentum has already begun to take root in Iowa. It's been a momentous week for Barack Obama in Iowa, beginning with endorsements: one after another, The Daily Iowan, The Woodbine Twiner, The Iowa Press-Citizen, The Sioux City Journal, and most recently El Latino (the first Spanish-language newspaper in Iowa to ever endorse a presidential candidate) all enthusiastically threw their support behind Barack Obama.
The Portsmouth Herald, The Valley News, and The Nashua Telegraph all provided moving accounts for why they have chosen to endorse Barack Obama for the Democratic Nomination.
