I am just stunned to see what is happening. Are democrats out of their minds!
Obama lost Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Michigan which are MUST WIN STATES for democrats to win presidency.
What happened in West Virginia, Ohio & Pennsylvania makes me nervous about Obama. It looks like we are nominating certain loser.
Here is NY times article on the same subject:
After Big Loss, Obama Woos Blue-Collar Voters

I am from the India sub-continent. I am puzzled and curious as to why Barack Obama visited Karachi (Pakistan) and Hyderabad (India) as a young man.
Here is the news article.
When you are young, you are trying to know who you are and you do different things to define your identity. For Obama it is even more profound as he is from mixed race with a muslim father and it is only natural to know who he is and purpose of his life.
Let me set the stage for you. I want to explain to you what I know about Karachi (Pakistan) and Hyderabad (India) and why young muslim students used to visit these 2 cities in 70's & 80's.
I never thought it will happen but it did. Daily Kos doesn't allow me to write any more diaries on their web site.
You log-in with your usernames and it never shows you 'New Diary' to click on to write new diaries.
I am regular contributor with my diaries on DailyKos. I am a strong Hillary supporter and my diaries clearly show why Obama can't win and why I am supporting Hillary. Perhaps they don't like that. They would prefer to be on their echo chamber full of Obama supporters.
I am afraid that we don't know a whole lot about Obama. I don't think he has been vetted the same way Clintons have been for the past 15 years.
This is the latest story from Chicago Sun Times about Rezko Obama story.

I am a strong Clinton supporter. Because I support her, I am taking the time to list my honest critiques of her campaign and offer some advice.
I saw your analysis, postings and suggestions. I feel that you gave voice to people like me in this insane world. Thank you for what you have done and what you are going to do in the future. You represented some of us that are not good in writing diarys but feel passionately about issues.
I hope and pray that you will contribute more to the progressive movement. I strongly encourage you to start your own political consulting company and bring some creativity in comparison to the current incompetent and crony political consultants that are in it only for the money but don't believe or working hard in winning.
If nothing else, please help in raising awareness of this clueless, incompetent and greedy political operatives that are currently controlling the democratic party campaigns and ADS. Their only aim is to make money and they don't care about any thing else.
Some times you have to listen to the slimes and hate mongers like Dick Morris of what they are afraid of in Nov'06
Democrats wake-up. I agree with the what the slime has to say in the above article:
"And that defection comes not from issues like Social Security, Medicare or the environment. Rather, it stems from a scandal that goes directly to the core question of morality."
The consultants that are helping the democrats in these republican districts, instead of thinking and working hard to suck money from the campaign; PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE find a way to advertise the republican hypocracy on morality. There are so many things to say corruption, scandals, war of lies etc..
Read this speech from John Kerry.
It's late too late by 2 years and counting. You ran one of the most spineless and ineffective campaigns. I am being nice here.
People like you should never come back as you hd a perfect storm in 2004 and you were clueless. We invested so much in you and you made us fools.
