I like Obama a lot and paid for 5 people to go with me to Lexington, KY to see him. But the last survey stuff I saw had Obama drawing his support from young voters, independents, and African-Americans. The only one of those groups that is strongly identified as Democrats are African-Americans. I view that as a 30% strategy which is the kind of vote that McCain often got after South Carolina. You're right that McCain was savaged by the right and that that won't happen to Obama. But I still don't think Obama's playing a winning hand.Ric Carichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12715258697811131789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30856325.post-23890645172764115402008-01-02T19:38:00.000-08:002008-01-02T19:38:00.000-08:00Who says Obama can't appeal to regular Democratic ...Who says Obama can't appeal to regular Democratic voters in Florida, Michigan and California?<BR/><BR/>McCain had a Republican orchestrated hate campaign launched against him in 2000 - check the comments of Limbaugh and the FOX news machine. The term RINO was invented for him.<BR/><BR/>Obama, on the other hand draws thousands of supporters anywhere he goes. There's no "I hate Obama" movement on the left.jinchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04611279045540819939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30856325.post-82377234486447806652008-01-02T05:29:00.000-08:002008-01-02T05:29:00.000-08:00He is the next Joe Lieberman, what I hear:http://w...He is the next Joe Lieberman, what I hear:<BR/>http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/1/1/154659/4951Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
