Having won in NC and giving Hillary a narrow escape in IN, Barack Obama is now collecting a good amount of superdelagate and union support; a healthy sign of a unified Democrats.

Even Hillary herself hinted that she would support whoever the nominee be. This sends the whole load of Republican conspiracy into the trash bin.

It will be a hard fight and this time Republicans will find a very resoulte, strong-willed and broadly-supported Democratic rival; a very different opponent from John Kerry.

Barack has shown he is anything but naive in politics and this time the Democrats will be able to nibble the Republican candidate's old ass easily. You will see, it will be that easy.

Back to the ever-broadening support Obama receives from many different power-centers:

Barack is likely to outspend his ancient rival during election period:

As for the superdelagate support, Barack is now only four point behind Clinton: Politics - News, Opinion and Analysis from CNN.com

Superdelagates: 268

Superdelagates: 272

I'm an Obama supporter and we need to stop being sore winners. Reach out to Hillary voters because we need them.

Yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s president he’ll take on, and I quote, 'the old boys’ network in Washington.' I’m not making this up. This is somebody been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he’s the one who’s gonna take on the old boys' network,” he said. “In the McCain campaign that’s called a staff meeting!- Obama, 9/17/2008

You are quite right. That's why I emphasize on the fact that Democrats are ready to -- and have already been-- get unified under one strong name: Barack Obama.

I respect Hillary supporters and if just the opposite had happened, they would now find me beside them. Ours is a party of ideals, not ideologies.

Funny though some polls have as much as 50% of Hillary supporters not voting or supporting McCain.

Dont cry boys, oneday there will be a democratic President again......LOL

Republicans were quite wrong when they nominated an archaic, tainted man for Presidency. McCain does not have one ounce of charisma and demonstartiveness that W has.

So, when it comes to the nominees, Republicans should not take for granted that Americans are willing to elect whoever comes from Republican elite party.

and uhm what conspiracy is that pray tell?

Republicans are good at living in a daydream; one of them being that Democrats are divided.

maybe, but whats at play is the moderates and center dems......and mcCain can pull those, its all in how they play it. Thats not a conspiracy thats a fact. I'd guard against over optimimism too, when the nomination is over he'll have to adjust his message, you'll see.

That's a conspiracy, knowing that conspiracies are based on diluted-facts. I haven't seen a conspiracy without few-ounce of fact in it.

It would be another conspiracy if I argued that Barack might pull the alienated Republicans, alienated because of McCain's softness toward liberals.

diluted facts?

No your second point is just reading the political electoral cycle tea leaves, saying that McCain may lose votes from fed up reps. is a genuine truth....


Just as obama has been a wide eyed lib. he may not get or lose folks who are tired of the entitlement mentality.

Guess someone has forgotten the "Operation Chaos" silliness, eh?

Just because it was another hardcore rightie miserable failure doesn't erase it from history.

Gonna be a long 8 years for the "conservatives."

You may be correct about this being unstoppable. Hysterics and melodrama and celebrity culture are a potent and frightening combination. There is almost no substance to the campaign, but there is plenty of emotion - and today, with the help of 24 hour media - all of that emotion can give the impression of a juggernaut.

You are quite wrong, of course, about Obama's naivete. He is stunningly naive. He is also off-the-cliff left. But none of that is really the point.

Hysteria is the point.

Screaming and carrying on and crying and jumping up and down at rallies is the point. Babbling about hope and change and hope and change is the point. Gushing interviews on Oprah is the point. Sentimentality is the point.

In all cases, without exception, those who worship Obama refuse to acknowledge he is human. I have never seen anyone who worships him admit he is even capable of being wrong - let alone that there is a policy they disagree with. He is perfect. Criticism and even discussion are even forbidden. He is a pseudo-religious figure.

This is how we will choose our next president. It is very, very frightening. And it is far more frightening that the vast majority of people do not care. They want to surrender their wills and let someone else make decisions for them.

Unbelievable.

Barack himself says he is not perfect. He repeated it in his NC victory speech, besides. So, here, you are either lying to us or enjoying your ignorance.

Barack followers know that he is human and prone to make mistakes. I have not seen any supporter thinking that God told Barack to invade Iraq. Hadn't W's God told himto do so?

In Barack's campaign, emotion and wisdom go hand in handand politics is nothing but a proportionate mixture of inspiration and intelliegence.

Was not it W who brought US politics pure emotionalism and rhetoric?

Barack is a politician like all the others. His doe-eyed followers are in for quite a let-down once reality sets in.
