74. Any other Obama supporters agree?
I don't agree that he should step down now, but as much as it pains me to say it, the OP makes some good points. If she wins big in Pennsylvania, I think he might have to reevaluate things.

Last night's results made me pretty discouraged about Obama's ability to win the general. My boss said months ago that there are too many racists for him to carry Ohio, and I think he might be right. I also think Obama's perceived lack of experience is hurting him, although I personally consider it a plus.

I want to see Obama become the next president more than anything, but maybe he shouldn't have jumped in so soon. Maybe he'd have been better off, or at least perceived as better off, if he'd spent a few more years in the senate first. But I'd hate to have him become just another Washington politician and lose his idealism, and I am afraid that's what would happen if he waited 4 or 8 more years.
