This past week was just a warm-up for the attacks on Barack Obama. There's going to be plenty more coming on his patriotism, Rezko, and a lot more. Sure, they're ridiculous, and I wish Hillary would step up and denounce the patroitism poll CNN put up over the weekend.
But, Obama has no substance on many issues. And, according to Rasmussen, he's lost his electability edge over Clinton. I'm still of the opinion that nobody beats a war hero, even John McCain in what should be a bad year for Republicans. Can Hillary overcome a 4.5% deficit (according to Real Clear Politics) and win?
Obama's bubble will burst, the question is when. What I'm most concerned about is his handling of foreign policy, his ability get legislation passed, and his leadership. I admire what he's brought to the party, but we need an experienced hand.
What I'm concerned about is that we're going to nominate the wrong candidate, something the Democrats are quite skilled at. Do we want a candidate endorsed by Louis Farrakhan? Obama will lose blue-collar "Reagan Democrats," Latinos, and white women to McCain. Obama could lose big, he could even lose in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. That could cost us CT-4, PA-04, even PA-11, not to mention other seats. While I don't think McCain will have coattails, why take the chance?
Hillary has this divisive, polarizing image, mostly a MSM-driven
narrative. And the Gallup poll on who is best to unite the country isn't encouraging. But if Hillary can win Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania, she'll be the nominee.
If that's the case, she needs to make the case on the economy, and go back to being the Clinton of Summer 2007. If she loses, she should challenge the hack Sen. Reid for Majority Leader. She's a great fit for that role.
