Some Edits.

Both Democrats came out of it looking like unprincipled pols. That doesn't matter to the hardcore leftist base that dominates the Democratic primaries. But it may color the general electorate's perception of the Democratic nominee in the fall.

Obama also danced on tax increases and he got called on it.

He needs to sign up for Klinton-101 to enhance is lying skills.

Too many older Democrats in this country have it ingrained in their souls to go in and pull the Dem lever every election, my mother-in-law is one, my own mother is another, although I’ll have to say she’s having to think about it more now. We will always have problems pulling in more Republican votes because of it.

My Grandpa is one of those older Democrat voters. He says he’s voting for McCain.

Judging by what Rev Wright has been saying and doing lately, it sure doesn’t look like he’s good buds with Obama. Who needs enemies with a friend like him...

[unkus]

Good for your Grandpa. The older folks should also wake up to what the Rats would do to their health care.

My MIL. When we tell her about Obama's pro-infanticide voting record, she changes the subject. It's all about free stuff.

It's not a question of whether or not McCain is going to win, the question is by how much.

The crazy Democrats are going to nominate a guy who can't possibly win a general election, even worse than Kerry.

[saganite]

Your grandpa understands that he has a Democrat lite alternative (McCain) in the race so he’s not straying too far from his roots.

I think pajamas media has reduced the ability to lie your way to the top.
If we had the internet in 1992, WJC & HRC would never have risen beyond the level of Ozark political hacks.

[1Old Pro]

The Democrat Party Officials have gone from thinking they have a certain win to wondering if they can even win ONE state.

[KansasGirl]

That’s the way I see it.

The Reverend Wright and the Reverend Fred Phelps are birds of a feather:

Reverend Phelps = "God hates Fags"

Reverend Wright = "God hates Whites"

[stuartcr]

Sure seems to be a lot of hate going on in the Rev ranks lately.

[MoreGovLess]

“craven” may be the most apt adjective for Hillary yet!

OK, Here's my concern:

We all know the MSM and its bias. I believe (and I can base this on really no more than gut feeling and past experience with the MSM) that they are asking the difficult questions now for two reasons:

1) Obama will most likely win the nomination.

2) Now that they have asked these questions during a time when only the more hard core political watchers are paying attention, they will not ask them again in the future when we are much closer to the general election. It will be "covered ground".

I've just been burned too many times by the MSM to believe that they are now beginning to focus on fair journalism. We've got to see the angles and McCain better get ready for a nasty media.
