Reply #17: To claim that saying Obama is beatable is anti-Obama is naive.

People swore after 4 years of Bush there was NO WAY IN HELL he'd get reelected...but guess what, he did. The United States is a big place and if Obama cannot GOTV, we're screwed because if the economy isn't better and if people are still unemployed and still losing their homes come November 2012, that's all they'll be thinking about. And if a Repub can convince people who have no strong party affiliation that they can do better, they will vote for that person, whether it's good for this country or not.

That is not being anti-Obama, that is being realistic and it hurts our party to think we've got this thing in the bag.
