Maybe the primary process does go along way to picking the best candidate in a practical sense. Quote

Now we get to watch the same story replay itself out with The Chosen One (as the French media refer to Obama.) Quote
TotallyOz Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 She made the same mistake Obama is making today. She assumed she'd won before she actually had. I agree with you. I do not think he realizes it will be a close race and he needs her supporters to win. IMHO Quote
