I think anyone in her position would be teetering on the edge of insanity. Can you imagine being the expected nominee for months and then BAM, right when you're reaching your breaking point with the insane campaign schedule, you find that you're falling farther and farther behind?
I mean, everyone thought it would be all wrapped up on Feb 5th so they were just going-going-going, and then instead of time to breathe, you just have to start going even stronger.
I would expect someone running for president to handle it better than she has.
true - you have to be a rare bird to get through a campaign and still have brain power left to run a country
I just hope Obama puts Hillary out of her misery next week in Ohio and Texas. I've lost all respect for her and her campaign and it seems like she is teetering on the edge of insanity.
I promise to do my part

Let's see if we can get a campaign stop.
Great idea. I'd definately show up for this
Please let me know when it is and wehre - so that I can make sure I don't stumble upon it - kthx
Something about Obama creeps me out - not like Hilary creeps me out but still - there is something "Jim Joneish" about him.
Overall - if I did not think it was my duty to vote - I prolly would not vote at all - truthfully - I will be more voting against someone then voting for someone this year

I don't know where this view comes from. I keep hearing it all the time. Hilary has even been saying stuff like this lately. That Obama's supporters are over zealous to the point of being scary. I hear the word, cult-like, thrown around alot. I don't understand that. Just cause people are actually excited to have someone to be excited about. I know there hasn't been anyone like that as long as I've been old enough to vote. I see nothing wrong with being bright eyed and bushy tailed about this guy. And if I had to compare him to someone that rallied people together, I'd have to go with JFK.
^^^no - not like that - more like he has a very memsmerizing personality - yes it is prolly only because he is a refreshing change from the other politicians but i think it is key to remember - they are all politicians and therefore - very good at telling you what you want to hear and then doing what they want to do once they are elected regardless of what they have told you.
Anyway - my observation was not necessarily about his supporters - more about his "presence" KWIM?

No I know. But I read stuff about his supporters following him like he's some sort of cult leader and I think that's a pretty baseless attack. I mean didn't the religious right follow Ol George like he was the second coming of Christ? And some of the Clinton supporters are the same way. They'd never even think about voting for anyone else. CLIN-TON CLIN-TON
I've heard lots of people SERIOUSLY say they think he is the Anti-Christ. Both Dems and Reps.
People are SO weird.
Here's an email going around to religious types (or religiously confused types)
Obama is the Anti-Christ. This is the evidence:
1.- He will come as a man of Peace (Obama promises peace in Iraq, defeat for the US) 2.- He will come mounted on a white Female horse(Obama mother is white who had 6 African husbands) 3.- He will come to deceive( Obama says he's a Christian but in fact he was born a Muslim, practices the Islamic religion, prays Friday’s facing Mecca) 4.- He will make himself the most powerful man on earth, if elected 5.- He will try to destroy the Jewish People and Israel( Obama has said he loves the Arabs specially the Palestinians, hates Israel and Jews. Admires Hitler, Osama etc) 6.- He will present himself as good and righteous but in fact he's Satan himself. Violence is in his heart 7.- Obama will help Al Qaida in its evil projects. 8.- Barack Hussein Obama is the “King of the South” predicted in the Bible.(Daniel .11, Kenya is south of Jerusalem) 9.- Obama comes to implant muslim Sharia Law upon America.
Obama is the Anti-Christ, beware of him.
Watch him and don't let you be deceived by Him.
Supporters of Obama: 1.5 billion Muslims, Oprah, Louis Farrakanh, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and all American Muslims.
OBAMA’S GAME IS DECEPTION AND VIOLENCE
A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS A VOTE FOR OSAMA AND KILLER ISLAM!!
IF OBAMA WAS NOT MUSLIM, HE WOULD BE CONSIDERED AS VP BUT A MUSLIM IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR OUR FREEDOMS TO CONSIDER.

I am three months removed from my B.A. in politics, and I can assure you that Barack Obama is a once in a generation candidate, and those not on the bandwagon will be pretending they were 30 years from now. He is an amazing politician on a number of different levels, and the only candidate remaining who stands to bring about a different style of politics then we have seen over the last 20 years.
BTW, I think its disgusting how many people are misinformed about Obama. I still know people who think he is Muslim (not that there's anything from with that). People that misinformed about a candidate really should not be able to vote.

If Obama were at Bonnaroo, he would be my top priority. I would love to see him speak. I have a feeling that his campaign will, however, shy away from this prospect.

That's some crazy sh!t right there. See now I'm always telling people that Bush is the Anti-Christ. This has opened my eyes to how wrong I am.

My mother is one of the people who perpetuate emails like this. I told her at one point that I was thinking of voting for Obama - she called both of my brothers and told on me like I was 5 years old
Yeah, I didn't really think that Obamaroo prospect through... I've been shut-in sick and medicated-loopy all day. It's done wonders preparing for my exam tomorrow, as well.

That is classic Religious Right Fearmongering. It just makes them look like idiots to anyone with a brain, unfortunately there are a significant number of brainless voters in this country.

I can't even tell you how much that "email" aggravates me. I've had to explain to more than one "smart" and educated close friends of mine how that is bs. It amazes me what people will believe without researching and knowing both sides of the story. (And makes me question my friends too).

I have a niece who apparently forwards every chain email she gets to everyone she has ever exchanged email with. After about 5 or 6 times of refering her to Snopes.com, the emails have stopped. I don't know whether she stopped sending them, or just took me off the list. ;D

Once again - that is my mother - she got really nasty with me when I kept sending her the snopes links also - I finally told her to quit sending me stuff if she was not gonna make sure it was accurate
I am watching the debate online just now and am disgusted at the Farrakhan/anti-semitism angle pressed and re-pressed by Russert. What stupid "guilt by association" journalism (and there's not even any "association.") One cannot control who expresses support. One question could have been barely justified but pressing the point(?) over and over is ridiculous. Just bring Rush, Hannity and Glenn Beck on to analyze the Dems.
All in all a rather bland debate. Clinton did look evasive several times on releasing various records/donor lists.
I don't see how this will cut into Obama's momentum.

Yes, I watched the whole debate as well, and I really felt that Obama was excellent. He appropriately separated his campaign rhetoric from that of his opponent, he handled the Farrakhan business with class, and every slight that they attempted to make on him was answered beautifully (I particularly liked his response to Russert's quoting him from the Illinois Farmers NAFTA speech, and his explanation of how Hillary's health care plan leaves people out.) The man was prepared, and I loved it. Hillary nearly lost her mind in the first fifteen minutes. We need to get these primaries over with and have a nominee. It's clear that the Hillary/Obama business is dividing the party, and yesterday the LA Times released a poll indicating that McCain now leads both candidates, albeit he leads Hillary by a much wider margin.
