Reply #196: You're right. I don't know what's in his heart of hearts.

But I sense that somebody's desperately afraid of him, and it might be because his campaign has shown it can generate enormous amounts of cash without relying on special-interest, corporate campaign contributions.

Yes, he took gobs of money from special interests. I firmly believe that these same special interests believed that they had him bought off. I thought they had him bought off too. That's why I initially supported John Edwards. But now that it's clear that Obama can generate plenty of money on his own, without relying on those same corporate interests, they're afraid they can't control him any more. And it's the control they want, most of all. It's the lack of control that they fear most.

And that, I theorize, is why they have determined that Obama must be destroyed.

Again ... I hope I am wrong about this because I, obviously, don't want to see him get destroyed. I want to see him nominated and elected President.
