#1 "But it makes him look weak, and after the Pennsylvania drubbing it makes him look scared."

Look, hell. He is weak and scared.

#4 Sorry Barbara, no reverse psychology needed here; NO DEBATES; Obama has finally 'gotten the message' and is moving on!!! Support him if you wish, don't if you won't...but have a nice day anyway!

#6 For the empy suit vocal-part, her folks could play a selection of BO quotes.

"Bring up response #98 again, James!"

#7 I am soo sorry Frank G...I feel your Obama pain! NO DEBATES!! He has received my direct recommendations and 'feel' based on the constant 'ebb and flow' out here in the swamp! It's important he has a shake on the 'Limbaughites' and Quasi-Rightists who's sole purpose is to spew venom and misrepresent his good nature.

#11 This won't work because it involves Democrats, who don't know how to have an honest debate. However, if you could get two Republicans willing to do a series of debates around the country, along the lines of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, you might be on to something.

#14 Now, I know The Super-Delegates would agree with me when I say that this great country of the US of A cannot afford four more years of Hillary McBush! Four more years of cronyism! Nepotism! Rascalism! Of service to the interests!

Now, the choice, she's a clear 'un. Hillary McBush, slave of the ~~special~~ interests...Barak Obama, servant of the little man.

Ladies and gentlemen, the little man has admonished me to grasp the broom of ~~change~~ reform and sweep this country clean!

It's gonna be, "Back to the oil fields, Hillary McBush "!

The ~~lobbyists~~ interests can handle themselves! Come november, ~~we're gonna get us some of that hope~~ sweep the rascals out!

Clean government is yours for the asking!

#15 and misrepresent his good nature.

Is that what we're calling his 'baggage' now?

#16 Barbara, Obama if anything would be flavored closer to being a Nationalist than a Socialist. Understand the prism I observe this spectrum through, I support Obama; he's not my lover. I respect his vision, and quest for diametrical and perhaps fundamental 'change' in American governance. I am intelligent, I have a high IQ; I've even written a novel! Yet, my place in this universe is ever malleable. Should Obama by some strange quirk of happenstance be removed from the electoral equation, as an Independent I could be persuaded to McCain or Queen Hillary, even aforemuch the chagrin of Frank G's non appreciation! What difference does it make whether the Jack Daniels eases down straight or mixed...I prefer mixed, and I won't be swayed from the aura of recognizing an Alexander no matter how short the challenge of the conquest shall bear!

#17 pssst: "diametrical" means "contrary". Can you name basic contrary "change" he's actually proposed? I don't mean less regulation (but no evidence of what that means in his scheme) vs restrictions on "free trade" (and whether his advisor tells the Canucks to disregard his rhetoric - 'it's all politics'). Or is it all "just words", smn?

#18 I encourage Obama, and Hillary to keep their 'magic pouch of glitter powder' close to their vest at this point. In politics, all ammo in the pursuit of denigrating an opponents view or goal must first be reactant to a release of that view! Once he has the 'power' than the 'Change' can be sought.

Unlike Obama, Alexander actually accomplished something as a leader during his short life.

Hows about we split the difference and call him a National Socialist?

#28 WELL DONE NS! I've never seen anyone yet come so close to having Godwin's Law invoked but managing to avoid it on a circumlocutional technicality. Way to tightrope that sideline, bro!
