I think this is a foolish strategy. Obama has serious demagogue potential, and his Jeremiah Wright moment is already being hushed up by the media and will not hurt him ultimately. He has a much greater chance of actually getting elected than Hillary, and supporting him is just throwing open the gate to Islam.

Yup, people should be very careful what they wish for because they're probably going to get it.

I’m looking for McCain to win....
But I fear a Hill/Bill presidency. They have a vicious machine.

Obama as president has no machine. No way will he be allowed to govern as leftward as he is campaigning

Although I am sure Democrats (and independents) had a hand in nominating McCain, I too am concerned about the “operation chaos” strategy. Number one, it’s hard to calibtrate correctly - politics becomes emotional and reason doesn’t always work to address it. Also, having an express policy like this gives the left another talking point. Although I suppose they don’t need a reason to play the victim of the “evil” conservatives; they do it anyway.

I dunno. My state’s primary is over. I have until November to decide whether to vote for McCain or do a write-in (that’s a whole other discussion, which again doesn’t need to be settled today). I do find it hard to get enthused about McCain to the point of volunteering or giving money, and I suspect many others feel the same.

And who is backing radical Islam? Underground communism? And who has been giving money to the Clintons? I still think Hillary is by far more dangerous. If Hillary ends up getting elected President it will make Rush Limbaugh look like a punk.

Not only that, but he is still increasing his delegate lead (Edward's, delegates from Iowa) and with proportional representation and the large gerrymandered black districts it is highly unlikely that Hillary will overtake him before the convention. Which means that, if she is to win, she has to use super delegates to counter the advantage Obama will have in delegates won from primaries. This blatant "stealing" of an election will cause the Dems damage which will be felt LONG past November. THAT IS A SCENARIO THAT I RELISH!!! Why spoil it by heeding calls to prematurely switch strategies. Rush knows the score far better than the author of this piece.
