I don't think this story is entirely BS. I am hearing a lot of, "Despite the fact that I disagree with Obama on everything, I'm really starting to like the guy!"

Obama generates warm feelings among Republicans who enjoy watching the Clintons lose their grip on power and then lash out publicly in red-faced anger towards the one person who is standing in their way. Given the disgust so many Republicans are feeling towards their own candidates, some of pleasure in watching Obama giving Hillary her comeuppance might actually carry over to a "maybe he might not be a bad president" attitude.

I do feel that if the Democrats are smart enough to nominate Obama, they'll win in a landslide. The Clintons are bound and determined to not let this happen. They would rather destroy their party than lose power.

Ditto to everything you said. (Which is why I felt the need to quote the entire post ;) Succinct, and dead on analysis.

You hit the nail on the head! Your post is worth repeating exactly as is. I don't think this story is entirely BS. I am hearing a lot of, "Despite the fact that I disagree with Obama on everything, I'm really starting to like the guy!" Obama generates warm feelings among Republicans who enjoy watching the Clintons lose their grip on power and then lash out publicly in red-faced anger towards the one person who is standing in their way. Given the disgust so many Republicans are feeling towards their own candidates, some of pleasure in watching Obama giving Hillary her comeuppance might actually carry over to a "maybe he might not be a bad president" attitude. I do feel that if the Democrats are smart enough to nominate Obama, they'll win in a landslide. The Clintons are bound and determined to not let this happen. They would rather destroy their party than lose power." Personally, I'm a Conservative with modest to strong Libertarian leanings. Limited government is the answer. Nevertheless, I relish seeing Obama beating Hillary for the nomination, even though I think he'll beat anyone the Republicans put forward.
