Nah, as far as delegates, she's really not that far behind. The media

nomination.


Perhaps because he is passing her at warp speed. Look where things

At the instant when a car going 100 mph passes a car going 30, do you
interpret them to be doing about the same thing as each other?

They aren't far apart. So let's use your analogy, shall we? What
happens if the car going 100 mph slows to a crawl, and the car doing
30 speeds up considerably long before the end of the race? See, pretty
simple!

Yeah, right. They're going to flock to the Republicans who want to round
them up and deport them. Sure...that's the ticket.


Harry,
The ones voting are not concerned about deporting, and McCain policy on
immigration is very similar to the Dem's policy on immigration.

You really do need to start thinking before you post.

Thinking is not his strong suit. Might be due to Harry's role as the piñata
all these years.

I have seen the question posed to several strong democratic voices,
and they can not seem to come up with anything more than that.

The one thing in which I think Obama will be of great benefit is the
rebuilding of the USA's reputation and image globally. IMO, that is a more
important short term goal than addressing domestic issues right now.
The USA is heavily dependent on the global economy and relationships with
other countries. If the trust and image of the USA is not restored, none of
the domestic issues matter because we can't afford to fix them anyway.

Towards that end, he's articulate, polished and smart. I think he will
command immediate respect in the rest of the world because he's at least
willing to listen. Unfortunately, McCain would not.

And the reason for super delegates becomes clear. It is to stop an
upstart mid-west dude from taking over the DNC.
