What folks like ani overlook (or deliberately ignore?) is that Obama was a relatively obscure Junior Senator who ran against opponents with much higher name recognition and managed not only to gain the lead in the race, but to rack up a record number of individual donors from a grass roots effort. And this guy is 'unelectable'? Give me a freakin' break!
Ratskii is dead on. It's wishful thinking on both ani AND Hillary's part! Just like the whole 'stealth Muslim' thing (on which ani seems to have given up), if you repeat 'unelectable' enough times, maybe the meme will stick.
