JoB- that was pretty much everyones belief back in January… That the democrats would rally behind the winner, but that the crossover voters, young and first time voters the folks Obama was attracting- that was a big question- would they support a different candidate in the general, or just fade away from the process?
That quote was way before the kitchen sink came out. That was before Clinton endorsed McCain. That was back when folks said, gosh we have such great candidates. All 3 of them would make amazing presidents. I just want to get rid of Bush.
So, in context, that is not a controversial statement, and since this contest has become so divisive, I would bet you would have a hard time finding a quote like that after Ohio and Texas. Obama is not a dumb guy, and understands it will be a challenge to get the Hillary supporters onboard. Largely because of all of the over the top rhetoric lobbed from her and her campaign at him… But I like his chances.
