There are those on the Democratic side of US politics at the moment who firmly believe that they will easily win the White House come November. They should think again and above all, learn from history.
Because that’s exactly what they thought in 2000, and once again in 2004. And with John McCain destined to become the Republican nominee for the presidency, the Democrats had better rethink their optimism and start digging some trenches. Because like in 1992, 2000 and 2004, it’s going to be close hand-to-hand combat to finish with a razor-thin margin on November 4 of this year.
The Clintons and the DNC’s leadership know it; the RNC smells it. Question is, does Obama know it?

Ooh, boy, McCain’s gonna eat Obama alive once this campaign gets rolling. obama’s own supporters can’t even tell you what exactly he has done in his career.
Should be lively.
