1. I will start with male chauvinism. Most males just hate to have a woman in charge. Latest prove to that came from daughter of my friend: she said she was strongly advised by many friends to hide that she voted for Hillary if she wants to find a boyfriend. This advantage for Obama will disappear in general election, because he will run against white man.
2. Hillary is a victim of Black racism and unfortunately for her, blacks are the part of democratic base. One cannot say that blacks hate her, but they are dying to have black in White house. This advantage for Obama will be much less important in general election.
3. Activists in caucuses just do not want to have somebody from upper superstructure. They want one of them. Unfortunately for Obama, caucuses are not part of general election and most of them were in red states. This advantage for Obama will disappear in general election. Prove to that are primaries in WA, which are drastically different from hijacked caucuses in Washington State.
While it is obvious that Hillary won Debate, it is also clear now that Democrats achieved something Republicans unsuccessfully tried for many years - take down Clinton(s). It obvious that she is the best candidate standing and that she represents the spirit and soul of Democratic party. Obama on other hand with his fishy attempt to unite with enemies and having unconditional support from corporate pro-GOP media looks as outsider and BS master as usual.
And Democrats blindly and stupidly rejecting the best of their own for a Cult Leader, who thinks that hopeshit words matter more than actions.
So most paradoxical conclusion of the Debate: if you will judge Democrats by actions and not by words they are much better Republicans than Republicans themselves: they achieved ultimate GOP goal: Carthago delenda est! -- Carthage must be destroyed!
and Clintons have to be eliminated, see

this is basically copy-paste from recent TalkLeft post,
but too important to wait when Author (see http://www.talkleft.com/user/Jeralyn) will repost on MYDD.
First I want to start with full credit and thanks to Jeralin for her excellent post here:

She in turn started with article from Times:

Main point is that GOP are ready to tell American public how
they see Obama "as a shady Chicago socialist".
I actually saw how Karl Rove on "Face The Nation" anticipates
(Obama's arrival to General Election scene) with very good mood, see

1st Main reason to NOT vote for Obama is Cult of personality.
Any Cult like that end up with Disaster - Germany & USSR are best
examples. Misbehavior of his supporters absolutely unacceptable as well.
2nd reason is Obama's refusal to acknowledge the idiocy and
mistakes in his "medical plan" and lack of mandatory requirements.
Instead of me arguing about that just read Paul Krugman.
3rd reason is his wrong talk about Reagan and his "ideas". Reagan
is as failure almost as much as Bush and Reagan is literally the public enemy.
(repost)
It is crystal clear of what Obama is doing.
Obama is hijacking the nomination.
He has found the hole in a way how Democrats nominate.
And hole is very simple and very known - caucuses.
Everybody knows: caucuses cannot accommodate all voters.
Caucuses accommodate a few percent of potential voters.
Obama decided to create enough activists and train them.
Then Obama sends obamaniaks to caucuses with simple task.
Task is to overwhelm any other potential participants.
Overwhelm them with noise, intimidation, duration.
Overwhelm them with absence of ballots and privacy.
As a result tens millions of votes do not count.
Instead, the caucuses produced faked voting results (like 79% for Obama in Idaho), fabricated by campaign activists and Mass Media and 2 main political parties.
As a result of caucuses Obama got hundreds of delegates which are way more illegitimate than delegates from Florida and Michigan or Superdelegates.
