22. *sigh* of course you did. you said he was the only electable one.
that was your entire argument. I guess you don't see a clear path for JE, you were just bullshitting. I'll indulge you, cookie. Here's how Obama can win.

Obama has demonstrated broad appeal in three states now. The bulk of independent votes in Iowa- by a large margin went to him. He garnered large numbers of independent votes in both NV and NH as well. He's also demonstrated his appeal to young voters. In IA, a striking 24% of the voters in dem caucuses were between the ages of 18-29. Although he hasn't shown this kind of strength with latino voters, the concensus among political analysts is that the shift of latino voters to the dem party, will continue no matter who the nominee is. The economy. The economy is in pretty dire shape and does not look to pick up for some time. Voters trust dems on the economy over repukes by HUGE margins. The war. Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of the war and occupation and how it's been handled. In addition, the dem party has been adding voters to its rolls for over two years and the repukes have been losing registered voters.

Now where's your "path" for JE? I doubt you can put one forth.
