71. No, she sealed the deal when she started traveling around the south affecting a fake southern accent
and talking about how much she loves GUNZ. Obama may be insincere about being a progressive, but it's better to be a fake Democratic progressive than a fake Democratic CONSERVATIVE.

Honestly, I don't know why we're even talking about this. I've seen a lot of conservative bloggers talking about Hilary Clinton primarying Obama and that's all the proof I need that a lot of the so called progressives who advocate the same thing are just false flag Republican "opposition research" people.

Lest we forget:
Clinton is MORE of a war hawk than Obama
Clinton has HIGHER NEGATIVES than Obama, and is STRONGLY disliked by as many on the left as on the right
If you think Obama can be arrogant sometimes, just remember how snarky Hilary used to get in 1994 with the House Republicans. That may come across as "guts" to us, but to independents who yearn for less partisan politics, it just comes across as small-minded.
Clinton, like her husband, has always been a "triangulator." As much of a faux progressive as you may think Obama is, Clinton doesn't even bother to make a pretense of it.



I'm TOTALLY AGAINST the idea of primarying Obama, but if people think they must do it, at least do it with somebody besides Clinton. Howard Dean might be a good candidate, but I don't think he's in favor of it. Bill Richardson would also give the Republicans a run for their money, but I don't think he's in favor of primarying Obama either.

So there we have it: MOST of the people who would make good alternatives to Obama are not in favor of challenging him with a primary.

(But I'll let you all in on a little secret: If AL GORE decided to challenge Obama, I'd support him in a heartbeat!)
