Wink(Rec) if you think Obama's Pity Strategy has got him where he's at today
Without Rush and Hannity playing up how mean and awful Hillary has been because she picks on poor little Obama, Obama wouldn't have a third the delegates he has now. As I noted back in December, Obama's Pity Strategy was winning him big time support from people that are voting for him like they were cult members.

4. WINK! (see my own thread on it)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4502480&mesg_id=4502480

Quick guess: "They attack me - vote for me "- whose official strategy is it? Which candidate's?

5. So you're assuming that there's no way Obama could be getting this many votes on the merits?
How can you be so sure about that?

The man, with all his flaws, is charismatic and a brilliant speaker. And he's brought new people in.

Why just dismiss that?

Aren't passion, enthusiasm and new Democratic voters GOOD things?

And why exactly would we be better off if HRC had things wrapped up by now? All she'd be doing is moving further and further and further right. And no good would come of that, since the country doesn't want our nominee to be conservative.

Pretty much end of story isn't it? If you want to belong to a cult, be my guest.

7. Er...you KNOW...Share your omnipotent cosmic awareness with us then, o great master.
How exactly can you "KNOW" such a thing?

Do you realize how pretentous and arrogant that sounds?

Is there a reason you can't accept the fact that, quite simply, support for your candidate has dropped sharply?

JEEEEZZZZZZ......:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:
