For general discussion and debate. Possible talking points:
- Will the NYT McCain story impact the election? Is this just a dirty trick by the Times to submarine McCain in favor of the eventual Democrat nominee? Or, is the Times trying to entice conservative talk radio hosts to support McCain thereby scaring away moderate Democrats and Independents?
- Is Jesse Jackson right about the rifts in the Democrat Party potentially being disastrous for the left in November? Has the Clinton race card damaged relations between blacks and Hispanics? Will the Clintons use the superdelegates to try and steal the nomination? Has this been such an ugly battle that there's no possible reconciliation between Obama and Clinton before or at the convention?
- Is Karl Rove right about Obama being much more vulnerable to attacks than the prevailing conventional wisdom?
