| McCain forces Obama, Clinton to readjust campaigns |
| 2008-02-11 |
| John McCain's emergence as the probable Republican presidential nominee is reshaping the Democratic contest, prompting Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama to cast themselves as best-suited to defeat him, and focusing their debate on issues they figure will play specifically to his strengths and weaknesses. In virtually identical language to separate crowds Saturday in Maine, Clinton and Obama urged Democrats to think carefully about which of them is more likely to vanquish McCain in the fall. They drew opposite conclusions, of course. But they left no doubt that McCain is forcing them to recalibrate their pitches to primary voters. The two reminded Democrats about McCain again Saturday night in separate speeches to a party fundraising dinner in Richmond, Va. Obama, fresh off a three-state sweep of Nebraska, Washington state and Louisiana, said McCain decided to "embrace the failed policies of George Bush's Washington." |

| #3 Both Obama and Hillary are very scarey in their far left agenda. Both have programs that will break the bank and the rest of us too. Obama is more charismatic than the Hildebeast. I don't trust either to protect the country and keep up the pressure on AQ and the muzzies. Neither are friends to our military. I thought Hillary might be easier to beat in November as she has a lot of baggage (Bill, her lovely personality, and her Marxist beliefs). Polls are not very credible but the polls indicate McCain would have a more difficult time against O |

| #2 What America really needs. Which party hates its candidate less. Obama is truly loved by the most whacked out sector of people on the planet after the muzz. They really think he's a savior. Since he's not, there's a place to go to see how that story ends.... |
