Obama's resume hasn't grown into his rhetoric. That's why he's losing.

The only reason Obama is in the top two is because of his speaking skills. His resume is too thin to match up to his "soaring" rhetoric. That gap is what people are starting to notice right now.

He couldn't expect "hope and change" to carry him through the primary season and if it did then Democrats would be in deep shit because it couldn't carry him through an general election. He's a novelty and after a while gives off an "is that all there is" vibe. Three years in the Senate, a few years in the state legislature and as an activist. So what.

Edwards is the logical other person in a two man race with Clinton. Not as good of a speaker as Obama but still a good one. He also has more substance and a better resume. Still not the heavyweight Clinton is on national security so that's why I ended up in her camp.

The fact that Edwards is the logical second choice is probably why he's still in it. Looks like he thinks it Obama will fizzle out early enough in the primaries to give him half a chance.

I realize that many people think Obama is a great speaker, but I don't see it. To many ums, stutters and lack of substance for my taste.

I prefer the easy-to-understand, straightforward truth that Edwards delivers.

I feel deeply satisfied by all your terrified posts. Scary isn't it that some upstart made a credibly run against your idol?

And don't shut the fuck up. I enjoy mocking your pathetic little screeds. Please keep it up so I can taunt you. Thanks, a big, big, P2BA fan.

kisses.

Precisely why we shouldn't nominate Hill. Her high negatives are guaranteed to go even higher and fuck us in the general.
