I really doubt that. I think that, once Obama took off, it was all over for her. She didn't stand a chance up against a dude who has better oratory skills.

I caught that on FOX last night, the sweetie business. Man, that station has it in for Obama don't they? Hannity and Colmes was disgusting. If anyone wants to know why Obama is seen as evil, watch that show. Or listen to conservative talk radio. ugly.
