- It seems a lot of Republicans took to heart Obama's statement in his rousing speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention that "there is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America." -

Doubtful. She has drawn in the federal lobbyist support as others refuse to accept the "bribes". She has the weapons industry support. They are working on numerous unions. The good ole fashion Democratic way. As I have said dozens of times Poppa Joe Kennedy would be proud. Having met JFK as a kid Clinton has studied them well. His wife has learned and added her own spin.

If indeed Obama has Republican support it does not sit well for the party in my opinion. I fully expect Hillary '08 to pass the Primary. Then the Republican Party shall bring on the landslide of legal woes to wipe out HRC. Pay back is a b*itch. And this one is way over due. FEC complaints have begun. Thompson got his as well.. This election is going to be the messy ist one ever !
Thank you my friend. Aloha :) Kim ...Melekai is actually my Lab's name...

Hu... Haa... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... (wipes away tears) You said DNC and Smart... in a sort of "together" way... Too funny.
Republizombies won't vote him in, they'll just pander to keep more money out of the Clinton era, and try to weaken things.
I'm more liberal than most Repugnicans, but its like they said, "The United States of Canada" vs. "Jesusland".
They can talk all they want, either party. It's all bunk.

Wow! If Matthew Dowd says only Obama has appeal among all the candidates, that's powerful testimony of Obama's appeal to Republicans.
I'm no Hillary supporter but I haven't been in the Obama camp either, so far. This will make me take another look.
In any event, I definitely hope Hillary will be kicked aside - there are 4 other *viable* Dems running who would be better presidents.

What repulican support? Nobody asked me, But last time I checked none of the republicans I know wanted any thing to do with him. he won't wear a flag pin, He won't even place his hand over his heart to say the pledge. What in the world does he know about the United States of America.

Sounds like Hillary has a few republicans /really/ scared. It can make some sense to support the least objectionable candidate of the opposing party (even vote for him, if your state has an open primary), if you're afraid your party can't win. OTOH, it can also make sense to do the opposite - to cross party lines to support the least-electable opposition canidate.
In Obama, these republicans may have found /both/.

Saying stuff like that can get you ousted at the DailyKOS conventions. If Obama really wanted the Republican vote, he would go on FOX News and pander for it.

I have said all along that the DNC would have to be foolish to let Hillery Clinton run as our candidate. Apparently they are not foolish

Are they supporting Obama the same way I supported Jesse Jackson with Duccass? Keep the party divided. Confuse the pollsters.
I do know that if I was Obama, I wouldn't choose a Clinton as a running mate if I valued my life!
