If Obama wins the nomination and it looks like he will, then the main issue will be the war in Iraq and bringing "our" troops home. McCain wants to keep the troops in Iraq while Obama wants to start bringing them home. So it will be a black and white issue(no pun intended)

GOP will hammer Rev. Wright in like theres no tom. However, Clinton's claim that Obama hasn't been vetted is ludacris. She's attacked him with everything she and they (the GOP) has got.

NOW -- Clinton has not. It's been nearly 10 years since Gingrich, Inc. were on the assault. Just because Obama has not brought up all of her scares from the past and within the last 8 years, it does not mean they wouldn't come up in the fall. When they do, they will be worse the Rev. Wright because Rev. Wright has been played to death already. While Beltway insiders remember all of the Clinton scares, the American populace does not and the GOP has loads of 'fresh' material to dump on her.

Mccain will avoid the real issue o f the war i n Irak. he will talk abaout different issues s o people will not think abaout the war. the American peple want the war in Irak t o end and this result i n 2004 election. the will of the American people was not in force becuase the war still continue. if Mccain win the election the American people will get notheing again and the free world will get anothre bad leader like Bush.

the GOP,a s you say, will run smear campagne on Obama becuase this is how they operate. i dont think the issue with Rev Wright will go away. CBC they play the commercial that Mccain say he did not want to air. i see this commercial and it i s very effective. they show Rev Wright and then a pictur o f Osama bin Ladin. they try t o scare people and this tactic will work. i f GOP operate like this, what does Democrates d o to respond?

Just going to say, this is the best year ever for a democrat to win presidency, but you can't even figure out your candidate. You realize thats not helping right?
