Republicans see an 'easy kill' with Obama or an enjoyable 'kill' with Hillary. Paul supporters see nothing but 'kill' in the way their candidate is treated.
If it is 'easy' or 'enjoyable' then you're doing it wrong. I talked to a person who pined to the good days of Ronald Reagan who was "such a nice man". Horsehockey. Ronald Reagan paid for the microphone so he could tell what he perceived to be the truth and sometimes he got rough. Rough as reality.
Getting to be president is tough work, as it should be. I have always felt sorry for those that actually believed that the 'right' message would win the day. As candidates, these people are too damned naive to be president. As supporters or staff, people such as this haven't a clue.
Should the 'truth' always win elections? You bet. Should people die in accidents? No. Should whiners be in politics? Absolutely not, but it's a free country.
You win by the belief in your heart, the sweat of your brow, the ache in your back and the strain of your brain.
Give me an opponent who believes in easy and I'll show you the person I am going to trounce. God willing and us still organizing up till just before the polls close of course.
To those 'conservatives and republicans' who are moaning like unpaid bookies that the democrats have already won '08, get to work or get out of the way.
UPDATE: I truly believe what I've said, but I should add that you should never miss the humor in campaigning like Dean's "AaaaaRrrrrrGggggggggg" or a statement one can't forget, "Halp us jon carry - we R stuck hear n irak". There are always gems:
"I thought she was the most gifted person of our generation," said Clinton
