and boycott the debates Fox is doing.

2. Which is why Obama is crazy to participate in Fox's Nevada "Debate".
Murdoch lunches with Hillary and Bill separately and together. He's given her the nod already.

Obama should join John Edwards now, not later, and pull out of their debate which only gives them the figleaf of respectability they clearly do not deserve.

Obama is crazy to step into that arena. His pulling out will really embarrass Fox now.

3. they want hillary to win. They know that America won't vote for her.
she antagonizes people so easily and has pissed of a large minority. Another large minority won't trust her, so Fox and fiends figures she would be the best candidate for them.

5. Yup. I'd have to agree you with your premise.
The ONLY way to guarantee a rethuglican presidential win in '08 is for the dems to pick Hillary..

6. I thought Hillary was "in it to win..."
I bet she actually thought she had a novel idea there too! Gee...a candidate wanting to win...how clever!

Too bad her slogan points to one of the issues with her candidacy: whether she can win. Some say not.

This is not an abstract arguement. We know the Republicans are gonna nominate someone we don't want to be president. That is part of the political process, and we would not expect them to nominate someone that pleases us the most.

But let's face reality. If we nominate Hillary, we are going to make it more likely that a Republican is going to win. The choice is not between Hillary, Obama, Edwards, Clark, Gore, etc. Perhaps it would sink in that we have a choice of Obama, Edwards, Clark, Gore or someone whose nomination might give us Brownback, Guilliani, McCain or Gingrich. Yes, electability is an important factor.

It isn't enough to want to win. We need someone who CAN.

8. He's not really vulnerable on much
except for occasionally avoiding giving his opinion. Other than that, he's squeaky clean. I don't think he should worry about them.

10. I hope everyone here at the DU watches this video.
Obama needs to join John Edwards and pull out of that debate. Shove it to them, Obama!
