Obama has to understand that Democratic voters love scoundrels. They loved Bill Clinton despite his scandalous behavior and lying under oath and extra-marital affairs with countless women. Obama cannot win if he tries to maintain the high ground in this campaign. That may appeal very well to Republican and Independent voters --- but not with Democratic voters. They want ‘down & dirty, gutter’ politics. They want lying and gross mischaracterizations. They want DIRTY TRICKS. Obama is going to have to take off the white gloves and revert to Chicago-style ward politics if he wants to win this nomination. Anything less the Democratic voters will not support. Decent politicians finish last in Democratic politics.
