Reply #21: A lot of people trained as "left wing organizers" know a lot of things.

And many of them wouldn't vote for Kucinich let alone Barack Obama. That's because they're socialists and communists... you know leftists. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are both center right wing candidates. Both are for *almost* unfettered laissez faire capitalism and military expansion. Kucinich is center-left, for god sakes. Any true "left wing" organizer who is putting their eggs in an Obama basket is suffering from an identity crisis. It's like a "Right Wing activist" voting for Kucinich and thinking he's getting what he wants.

Sure you can build unity with working class Republicans--heck, you can even join hands with working class fascists with the right pro-nationalist blather--through a modicum of education about their own economic interest and a slight step to the right.

But that's not what Barack Obama is doing. He's just a blank canvas on which everyone projects their hopes and dreams. And at the end of the day, you'll have a centrist, slightly right wing candidate and so will the Republicans you think you've duped.
