Comments on: Democrats Ready To Rally Around A Nominee

CBS' Kathy Frankovic: Despite Bitter Campaign, Clinton And Obama Supporters Say They'd Back Either In November

[thomaspp]

A SIMPLE OBSERVATION

1. Feed the demand: The mass is hungry for "changes" (and drama, sigh!) - feed them. Avoid the specific solutions and in-depth discussions. Just sell "dreams".
2. Outsource to opportunists: Build alliance with those who know well your game and will benefit from your easily manipulatable "inspirational" platform. They are absolutely necessary to make your case looks real.
3. Multiply: Use the opportunists to feed the mass. Use the mass to attract more opportunists.
4. All sales final: Once sold (elected), returns are irrelevant (at least for 4 years). You''re in the history book already. Let the opportunists carve out whatever they wanted.

AND A PREDICTION

There will be no specifics in tommorrow''s last debate before Super Tuesday, and likely won''t be much more for the rest of the campaign.

Obama strategy is smart and so far works pretty *** well.

(one caviat: I had to witness the same kinda guy took over as CEO and ran our multi-billion-dollar company to the ground in 2 years)

I don''t know about anybody else, but even if I''m not real happy with the Democratic candidate, the Repugs manage to infuriate me all over again with their tax and spend code phrases, their trickle down economics, their penny-wise/pound foolish view, their big government banter which is just another way of saying let me make a buck at everybody''s expense without government interference, but give me that government contract, especially if I don''t have to bid on it, like Halliburton. I always wind up voting for the Democrat because I just can''t stand the Republican mindset and hypocrisy! Democrats have loftier ideals in my view and they tend to care more about people, little people. Democrats may not be perfect but they at least want us to have health care, enough food on the table, a decent wage, and equal opportunity. This is true of all the Democratic candidates, without exception even though I like some of them more than others!

The BUSH''S and the CLintos are sitting around laughing at all of you

[jedi08]

Hillary Clinton campaign made 1782 racist charges or statements since Obama won Iowa according to a new survey.

End the old way, the BUSH CLINTON WAY.

[jedi08]

Hillary was for the war then against it. She changed her mind on illegal imigration and woulnd'' vote one way or another. She lacks McCains class and experience and honor

she has NO CHANCE AGAINST HIM

END THE BUSH CLINTON DYNASTY PEOPLE AND WAKE UP

Do we really want a someone who is nothing more then someone''s wife runnning are country.

If just being in the oval office is all thats needed instead of actually holding a real posistion. Why isn''t Monica running

War Hero vs canidate who''s hubbie has to defend her. Who is the better commandar and cheif.

Billary Cunton is unelectable

[jedi08]

Hillary has no chance against McCain. She wont get the spanish vote or the independents.

Obama is the dems only hope

[jedi08]

The 1st most cheated on lady who cries and lies and never takes a stand unless its popular VS. The war hero, who is honest, will get more of the mexican vote, who is agianst pork and will do what he thinks is right instead of what is popular in his own party.

Who has more intergrity, who is more ready to lead, who is the better person.

There isn''t even a debate, Hillary HAS NO CHANCE.

The Dems only hope is Obama

Well, on the other hand, if Hillary would end up with the Democratic nomination, this dog and pony show might help her then. Who the heck knows what is going to help you or hurt you in politics. The littlest things, like Howard Dean''''''''s yell, can derail you, and the biggest things, like Jennefer Flowers, and no one pays any attention.

Politics is not for sissies!! :o)

One other good thing about Hilary''''s "stunt" if she gets the nomination then turns around and ***** her Dems supporters in order to appeal to or court the Republicans--it is not as if she is not being consistent and they should have seen it coming.

Just like the neo cons who now bleat they were hoodwinked by Bush--Dems who blindly follow this person will be shown the same amount of sympathy. There was once a pilgrim marching up a mt, who crossed the path of a venomous snake. The snake asked for the pilgrim to take him to the top of the mt. The man said No, because the snake was poisonous. The pleading and refusal went back and forth, but finally the man picked the snake up and carried him up the mt. When they got to the top, the snake bit the man and as the man lay dying he asked why the snake had done that--after all he did for the snake.

This is what the snake said, as he slithered away: "You knew what I was, when you picked me up" good luck Hilary supporters......LOL
