WHT HILLARY NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT IS RUNNING ON AN INDEPENDANT TICKET WHERE SHE CAN WIN THE OVAL OFFICE HANDS DOWN. THERE WILL BE NO CACUSES (what a pitiful way to decide a state’s delegates anyway). OBAMA IS ALWAY SHOUTING LOOK AT ALL THE STATES WE WON. BULLCRAP. THOSE WERE CACUSE STATES. IN A REAL PRIMARY OR NOVEMBER ELECTION HE IS GOING TO WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL HIS SUPPORT WHEN HE FINDS HE ONLY HAS AFRICAN-AMERICANS, A FEW SPANISH AMERICANS AND SOME HIGHLY-HIGHLY EDUCATED YOUNG CRACKERS WHO KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT POLITICS VOTING FOR HIM. THIS WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO WIN THE WHITE HOUSE. FACE IT OBAMA YOU ARE THROUGH. THE DIRT JUST HAS NOT HIT YOU IN THE FACE YET.

1)” Not everybody liked him; one Senate colleague described him as so ambitious that given the chance, he’d run for “king of the world.”
2)”He is not a good loser,” says Shomon. Obama acknowledges this: “Losing’s always miserable.”
3) Shomon tried to dissuade him from running, arguing that a Senate campaign would put too much pressure on his personal life. “His counterargument was similar to his counterargument always: We can change politics, we can change the agenda, we can help average people.” He said, Shomon recalls, “I’m not going to be able to help people if I’m stuck in the state Senate for 20 years.”
4) He could also take advantage of his Ivy connections, drawing on moneyed Harvard classmates and his wife’s super-loyal Princeton connections. He had energetic supporters in Minow and Mikva, as well as David Axelrod, the leading Democratic campaign consultant in Illinois. He appealed to many of Chicago’s “lakefront liberals,” who occupy a strip stretching from downtown to the North Shore along Lake Michigan, and attracted major benefactors such as the Crown and Pritzker families, big money.
5) “How many people get elected to the U.S. Senate without having a single negative ad run against them?” Ron Walters, a political scientist at the University of Maryland, agrees. “You could argue that if the Republicans had had a viable candidate, there would be no Barack.”
6) “inexperienced” is another word that comes to mind. Kohut’s polls show that the second thing voters want is competence, and they see this in Hillary Clinton more than Obama. “And that,” says Kohut, “is why we have a horse race.”
7) Obama appeals most to well-educated college graduates, Kohut says, the same demographic group that supported Gary Hart, Bill Bradley and Howard Dean in previous campaigns. People with college degrees tend to be driven by hope and idealism. In contrast, as Cook explains, “downscale Democrats” tend to focus more on economic issues and are more likely to have fond memories of Clinton-era prosperity. “They’re more survival oriented.”
Obama did a number of crucial things to neutralize this problem of authenticity. He married a black woman, and he joined an inner-city, mostly black church, Trinity United Church of Christ, led by the charismatic pastor Jeremiah Wright. “I’m not saying he doesn’t love her, and I’m sure he believes with all his heart,” says Dickerson, but both moves helped shore up his credentials. For black politicians, to begin a speech by praising God is “the black secret handshake,” she says. “It’s like saying, ‘Joe sent me.’”
9) “If you’re looking for how does Barack Obama win the nomination, he needs to win [the African American vote] by a big margin,” says Charlie Cook, and also enlarge that base. “He’s got to have a broader base of support than he has now.” As in Illinois, he has to be a crossover candidate. And his mannerisms, his credentials, his white mother all help. “He doesn’t look like a sub-Saharan African, and he doesn’t have an accent,” Dickerson says. “If he were sub-Saharan-African-looking, with the same résumé, we would not know his name right now.”
10) In her most controversial assertion, Dickerson argues that Obama appeals to white voters because he enables them to support a black man without having to confront the legacy of slavery. Because Obama is not confrontational; because he describes himself as “being rooted in the African American community, but not limited to it,” he permits whites to support a black and feel self-congratulatory. This may or may not be true, but it does seem that — in the wake of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo — part of Obama’s appeal is the opportunity to send the world a different message about American racial tolerance at a moment when this seems more important than ever.
11) “The first conversation about the presidential campaign was that there was not going to be a presidential campaign,” says Axelrod. Obama agrees. “We very deliberately tried to tamp down expectations,” he says. “I didn’t do any national interviews until Katrina. I tried to be very deliberate in terms of the work that I did here in the U.S. Senate. I didn’t file a lot of symbolic bills — like a universal health-care bill or other legislation that I wasn’t in a position to pass because we were in a minority party.”
12) Last summer Obama also went to Africa, visiting Kenya and South Africa, and speaking out against the violence in Darfur. The crowds he attracted gave him, Axelrod says, “a heightened sense of what he could accomplish.”

Just in case she thinks that most people still like her…(57% do not trust her and do not like her)

Everyone keep record of everything she says and does in her remaining years in the Senate so if she tries the Sniper Fire again……this will end much sooner….we can blame the media since her suspicious Senate election in 2000 for constantly putting her name in the news. She never earned that nor did she ever deserve it……Bet the media now knows they created a monster that was merely someone that was married to a president….thats all!
The Clintons remind me of two lowlife con artists tricking the old and uneducated out of their possessions making them think its the right thing to do…
