She will have enough delegates to prevent Obama from taking the nomination on the first roll call. Remember it isn't about the popular vote or number of states. It's about the number of delegates. Chances are the nominee will be decided after some back room wheeling dealing.

If Obamqa gets the nomination the Repubs are going to blast him on many fronts.

1. They are going to paint him as un-patriotic. Believe me you will see that picture of Obama standing at ease while the other candidates hold their hands over their hearts in Repub ads over and over. It may not matter to you that Obama didn't hold his hand over his heart and looked around stupidly but it will play big in middle America
2.Expect the Repubs to show that clip of Obama's preacher saying "God Damn America" over and over. Sure Jerimiah Wright isn't running but the Repubs are going to tie Wright to Obama so tightly middle America is going to come away after seeing the attack ads thinking Obama himself said it.
3. As I stated in my previous post Obama's relationship with FBI identified Communist Frank Davis and Weatherman Terrorist William Ayers will be used by the Repubs to further paint Obama as being on the far left fringe politically and far far away from the politics of most Americans.

If Obama wins the nomination we lose in November. Count the numbers. The US electorate is about 46% Democrat and 45% Republican. The split in the Democratic party will send a minimum of 20-25% of our party to the Republican side if Obama gets the nomination. That's saying 20-25% of the Hillary voters will not vote for Obama. Very few Repubs will vote for Obama. He is just too liberal for the conservative and moderate Repubs.

That gives the Repub candidate running against Obama 60-65% before the campaign starts.

No Way Obama can win against those numbers! He knows it. He also knows that Hillary can win. Hillary won't back down. Obama won't back down either!

Repubs win in November.
Obama should drop out now while he can still contribute to the cause by campaigning for Hillary and his fellow Democrats running for the house and senate

Really? Why? Because he is ahead in the popular vote? Or should he drop out because he leads in the delegate count? Or the fact he has won more states. Or that in current national polls, he is leading Clinton.

Why should Obama step aside. Because Queen Hillary said so?

How about turning it around. How many conservatives would switch sides or desert the GOP this fall? Here's one.
