Reply #18: And Obama's message

[kennetha]

has gotten him a bit less than half the democratic primary voters and gotten his butt kicked in major state after major state that democrats MUST win. He's only ahead in pledge delegates because of winning by 15k votes in places like Idaho or a few hundred votes in places like Alaska, where democratics don't stand a chance of carrying the state. If he doesn't reach out and broaden his coalition and appeal to voters that his message has so far left cold, he'll be the next George McGovern (at worst) or Michael Dukakis (at best). Is that what you want? I hope your candidate is more of a realist than you.
