Major DNC Donor to Party Treasurer: Obama is a Bad Investment (by NancyA at No Quarter)
“Andy, if I worked and served the people in the 13th District in Chicago, I would have known all of the players. And to win that district, would I have gamed the system to run unopposed? Tony Rezko would not have had a seat at my table… I would not choose Rev. Wright, Rev. Meeks, or Father Plager as my spiritual mentors, not for political reasons… Would I be hanging out with Mr. Ayers? Would you? Would you refuse to be photographed with Gavin Newsom? There is a pattern with this guy - he manipulates; and for him the ends justify the means. He lacks character.

“Getting not one bill passed in the first 6 years of his career in not inspiring. Having Emil Jones hand him the ball 26 times on the one-yard line in order to make Obama a United States Senator does not cut it either. What deals he made, he did to benefit no one but himself… Every person I have talked to who worked at the Law Review at Harvard with him, or in the latter part of his career, said the same thing: he was arrogant and self-centered… Do you not you find it troublesome that he has hundreds of paid bloggers, posting vicious attacks not only about the Clintons but her supporters as well?…

“Andy, my country comes first, not the Democrat party. Having said that, I believe that the Democratic Party has just kicked away the best candidate and our best chance to redeem our country, Hillary Clinton, a proven centrist. Given his resume, or should I say the lack of one, he is either ineffective or hiding something, neither answer gives me the warm fuzzies. If she is chosen in Denver, you can count on my full and enthusiastic support. Until then, I own my vote.”
How interesting that this person sees EXACTLY what I see in Obama. Click through for more detail.—Caro

Obama’s lead narrows another point in Gallup’s ‘tracking’ poll (On Politics, USA Today)
Another poll from Gallup that’s slightly different than others it has released the past two days — but is consistent in the sense that Republican John McCain again gained on his Democratic rival, Barack Obama.
