Says Obama is too likable and inspiring and will be our next president.

His name is Jim and he is on 770KKOB here in Albuquerque.

5. Don't get overconfident...
That is the Repugnant hate machine going into high gear. First you put them to 'sleep' and then you knock them over the head.

They have done this before very successfully.

4. Doubt if they'll defeat any of our likely candidates. Good to hear the (R) tremors, though.

6. They wanted Hillary,
They must be tearing out their hair at the very good prospect of voters rejecting her handily.

7. Best damn indicator that he is their choice...talking points! Act scared of the weakest!
Doesn't matter a whit what some on DU think. If the Repug mouthpieces are saying that so and so is their biggest threat it is with hand over mouth and snickering. Hasn't 20 years of this crap taught you anything? Simple(has to be for Repugs, and simple does work) psychology. You see the effect, immediately some dummy picked up on it and takes it as some sort of admission that their candidate is invincible and therefor run out and try to convince others of the fact. This is a most efffective method when used on youthful inexperienced and impressionable minds...whoa, did I just describe the majority of Obama supporters?

C'mon folks use you damn brains. Supporting and touting 'your' choice is the way to play, but doing it based upon what the enemy says is stupid. Promote your candidate choice with facts, with reasoning.

10. JC I laughed so damn much at that one I popped a button.
Obama....hell he'll be lucky to win one more state. And if he wasn't the one the republicans want because they know they can tear his ass up in an election, they wouldn't be pushing him so hard. If they thought Hillary and Edwards would be the pushovers they would be voting in the cross overs for them instead of Obama. ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah another belly laugh you just made my day, I was tired from cleaning but this sure perked me up.

12. I listen to Jim a several times a week and I can tell when he is being sincere or not
There is no doubt in my mind he truly believes Obama can't be beat. Jim is a moderate libertarian type and doesn't tow the party line. He says what he wants to say often going against the Republicans. He came out against the war a long time ago.

Nice try though.

11. He's probably correct. But the same could be said of Edwards.
