Re: [Dems2008] Re: Do we really want to bury our heads in the sand

Natasha, I would agree with you except that people
assume the Clintons caused the entire problem. The
republicans may give Obama a honeymoon period until
they figure out how to go after him, but it won't last
because they have no interest in bi-partisanship. The
Newt Gingrich/Tom Delay followers of the republican
party are not going to play nice if a saint was
president. I do think that so far Obama has been able
to give it right back, but alot of that is because
whatever anyone may think, the Clintons won't try to
ruin him in case he is the nominee. I want to see
what happens on Tuesday because it could well be over.
If Hillary continues to win the bigger states, then I
think the DNC needs to behave like it's convention
time, sit them both down and get this thing worked
out. It's pretty obvious watching them over the
weekend that they are tired. This pace is crazy and I
don't know how they do it. I'm tired too.
