Theres tons of rhetorical differences, but look at the record of the top 3 Dems - not much daylight. I'm not anointing Sen. Clinton the nominee, but there's clearly a world of difference between how organized and ready her campaign is versus Howard Dean. I want the Dem candidate to be the sort of person with the killer instinct to kill the GOP. The only person I see with that X factor right now is Sen. Clinton. There’s no significant difference.

Hillary=corporate and PAC shill. Lieberman Lite. Barack=not. I said this months ago that Obama's campaign will continue to gain momentum as more people are turned off of Hillary's conservativeness. This early on in 2000, Howard Dean was a shoe-in. <i>Where Obama fails is he has a well-intentioned message of unity.</i> I don't see that as a weakness.

Where Obama fails is he has a well-intentioned message of unity.

I don’t see that as a weakness. It further marginalizes the opposition.

On issues I'm probably more in Obama's camp than Hillary though there's not a huge difference between them anyways. Where Obama fails is he has a well-intentioned message of unity. But the opposition is a bunch of crazy people. I dunno what that’s got to do with anything.

Thus, the only problem with Barack's "message" is that he's not white and his last name isn't "Clinton".
