I don't want Obama to lose because of this kind of thing. I want him to lose because the country knows he is a socialist who is wrong for America! It would be incredibly disappointing to think that people are not freaked out about Ayers/Wright/Farrakhan/ACORN but they would change their minds about him because of a rumor of an affair. What does that say about us?

If there is anything to this story it would be treated with the same double standard that every scandal that involves Democrats is treated. The media, and apparently Democrat voters, don't care about John Edwards. They don't care about Tim Mahoney. It will be ignored by the media and spun by the mouthpieces with the usual crap. Nothing touches the Obamessiah. And if it's unprovable it just makes us look bad for making the accusation.

With a hopelessly abject, low-brow tabloid level of understanding of things in many pop-culture segments of the current American populace and electorate, as opposed to having any detailed inkling on such things as intrinsic differences between capitalism and socialism, the American People are liable to go with the buzzers and whistles and National Enquirer level-stuff *crap* rather than true issues in a studied, logical way. This is what dumbing down produces. At times, I think the folks interviewed on the street by Jay Leno are not an extreme sampling, but often how things truly are and where we are as a country (particularly with many young people). Sad to say. If in retrospect the history books show for 2008 that such pablum loses the election for Obama, it is sad in one way (intellectual), but it will be a godsend in another (machiavellian/scorched earth).

exactly , I want him beaten with out a doubt. to pull shenanigans , like the birth certificate(not making light of it, but those pro-obama would not be happy) or an affair. concerning the birth cert, I know dems are idiots but surely they had already checked this issue out I mean that’s an easy pull, hillary would have laid that card out last year.

While your goals are laudable, in the end it doesn’t matter how or why he loses. All that matters is that Obama does not become president.
