Is obama delibertly trying to lose the nomination

[senerhu]

First he said he would outright invade pakistan if al quada could be found and then he said he would not use nukes against al quada in pakistan.

First of all Pakistan is an ally and he does not want to unify and solidify opposition to our interests there

and

Secondly, a president never says what he will do or won't do with nukes...

dumb, really dumb moves..

Yeah, I noticed that his idea of foreign policy is to play kissy-face with your enemies and bully your friends... not sure how that'll work out for ya, Obama...

btw, I think the answer to your initial question (topic title) is, "yes."

Now senerhu, if you are going to accuse Obama of being stupid, you might ought to grammar and spell check your post that you make the accusation in.

Of course, I am only kidding with you. I do think his comments on Pakistan were rather boneheaded. Especially considering that going into Pakistan even without their permission in the event of actionable intelligence is already our official policy.

I do think his lack of foreign policy experience is going to be what hurts him in the primaries.

My thoughts right now, barring a Gore entrance (which I'm assuming won't happen but....*folds hands in prayer*), are that Hillary looks the strongest (this coming from an Obama supporter) but that, come primary season, people are going to shy away from her because it will be hard to get her elected. She's leading by a comfortable margin this time, but I'm pretty sure that at this point four years ago Gephardt and Dean were in the lead. Just to point out.

Edwards is looking stronger and stronger to me. His best bet is probably to be everyone's second favorite, so when they don't vote for Obama or Clinton they go to him. A lot rests on his wife's illness, I suppose, but he really is a good candidate. Honestly, I'd be fairly comfortable with any of the major Dems getting the nomination.

I'm starting to think that Edwards/Obama could be a workable ticket.

Of course, given the field the GOP has to work with, if a progressive woman is going to get elected anytime soon, now might be the time.

Still loves me some Barack, though.

I had to dumb down to obamas level...

I wonder just how badly we are stroking the feelings of Pakistan behind the scenes in the past day or so to make up for one of our Senator's comments regarding our "invasion" of them.

We can understand the context of why he said that, but they may not.

His demonstrated lack of experience in world affairs is really starting to show now.

Well, don't burn the flag, people... he's not the president yet. (and God willing, he -won't- be!)
