Obama needs more than two years as a governor to have a good enough grasp on all of this, imo.
He's in his 4th year as a senator, not governor

It pretty much is.
Like I said here and elsewhere, Clinton has barely done anything right and Obama has done nothing but right. Yet except for Iowa, the voters are all choosing Clinton. Nevada is proof that Bill has a lot of power still and he will be campaigning for Hillary like he was campaigning for himself in 1992 and 1996.
Nevada might not have brought in much in terms of delegates but it pretty much is a showing of what is going to happen from now on: 2 Clintons vs. 1 Obama. Obama is toast. If I were Obama, I'd still campaign but his days are numbered.
Eh, I don't think Obama is out yet. If he actually stays in it the race could be dragged on for quite a while. Plus the democrats haven't had this close of a contest and and an idealistic candidate to do this well, in years. So its a little unpredictable on exactly what will happen down the line. I wouldn't be counting anyone out until after Super Tuesday.

Not really. He should have finished Clinton off in NH instead he tried to ride out the "momentum". In Nevada instead of trying to get Hispanics on his side by appealing to them he just got the union support and figured he would win. He has done nothing to quiet the where's the beef crowd a saying he does well in speeches but talks very generally about how he would change things but he doesn't go into detail nor does he lay out plans. This is also coming from a guy who does horrible at debates place where many people see him for the first time.
Obama is also getting frustrated at dealing with 2 people attacking him. How many people do you think the Republican nominee will throw out at him? If he wants to be the nominee he needs to step up his game rather than becoming the 2008 version of John Kerry.
Obama didn't just twidle his thumbs and get beat in NH and Nevada. He did campaign and just got beat, there is little he could have done otherwise.
And whoever gets the democratic nomination will have the whole party on there side. It won't be the same as 2 popular Clintons tag teaming on him
Seriously, GAF is so bipolar in regards to Obama. One minute everyone is declaring him the next president and the next minute people act like he is getting 5% in the polls. Can't we just wait and see before deciding anything?
