If Obama wins

I seriously think the Republicans will play the race card:- illegal immigrants

we all know thats their ace card and that I think will cause a dent.

Just a thought!!

1. It MAY cause a dent. But, nothing more.

2. They will play that anyway. Add bimbo eruption for Clinton and hair cuts for Edwards.

Of course, both of which is unfair, but when did that stop a GOPer.

3. I'm not worried about the ReTHUGS, I worry about Clinton

There will be a bloodbath when she comes in 3rd.
She and the DLC will send out all their THUGS, because she only cares about winning, and she will take the Democratic PArty over the cliff with her if she doesn't win.

7. They have been hounding Hillary Clinton for 15 years

and she has the guts to stand up to them. But Obama will cave like a empty bag.

9. He can't even weather

Hillary's soft lobs.

The GOP will eat him for breakfast and use his bones to pick their teeth.

8. Yes, they'll play the "race" card

and so will the Democrats.

Obama can win, mostly because * has pretty much damaged the Republican party. Its traditional image as the "party of fiscal responsibility and government frugality" is shot.

10. You forgot

Obamas Ace in the hole. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhpKmQCCwB8

What issues could they really attack him on ? Race ? .. His name ? How would they 'swiftboat' a newbie ?
