Pandering is part of what a politician is all about, unfortunately. What gets my goat about Obama is his and his follower’s hypocrisy about it. They both act as if he’s above it when he’s actually mired neck deep in it.
The Democrats have a dilemma: Obama can win the nomination, but not the general electron, whereas the opposite applies to Hillary Clinton. Here are the reasons: using the 2004 presidential election results as a reference, the 2008 general election will essentially be divided between the ‘red’ and ‘blue’ states. The advantages that Obama had with the black voters and the caucus process can disappear easily in those ‘red’ states in the general election. On the other hand, Hillary has been able to capture most of the blue states in the primary, despite strong completions from Obama. When weighing in different voters compositions (races and genders) and the general perception about the candidates, Obama may lose one or two of big blue states such as CA, NY and PA, besides Ohio. On the other hand, Clinton has a very good chance to keep all the blue states in the camp, besides being favored in Ohio and Arkansas, and possibly FL.
I wrote these comments before the exposition of Wright’s preaching and his relation with Obama, which could further handicap Obama in the general election. Thus, if democrats do not understand the above message, McCain will be the next president. What’s wrong about McCain being the next president? He is a little old, too stubborn, and committed too much to the Iraq war. Any person who does not understand that our nation has deteriorated in the past few years because of the Iraq war does not deserve to be our next president. So, Obama and Clinton supporters, please do not dog fight anymore. If you do, you may become the victim in the old Chinese saying “Fish and clam fight, the fisherman profits”. Please also understand that voting for Obama in the primary is equivalent to supporting McCain for the next president. Please think about this carefully.
Hey, the flag pin rhetoric was Obama’s, not mine, twc. If he really thinks it’s “false patriotism” to wear a flag pin, then he by-God shouldn’t wear one, regardless of who offers it to him.

What if a disabled vet offered him the pin at that event, Joe — what would you suggest he do?
Call him bitter?
