Why Obama Just Can't Win -- Dems are Fleeing

At some point soon, I'm going to do a longer post outlining all the reasons Obama's CANNOT win this election.  In the meantime, this National Journal piece came out today.  Money quote:

In fact, Obama’s reelection campaign has a split personality when it comes to the general election. One side is confident and growing more so about the turbulent GOP primary, an improving U.S. economy, and better numbers for Obama in swing states. The other side harbors fears bordering on paranoia about massive spending by the GOP and outside super PACs for the party’s nominee.
“There is already unprecedented super-PAC spending going on,” Messina said. “There will be super-PAC spending in key states against us. We have to be prepared for that.”

To prepare for it, Obama’s campaign has put the rest of the Democratic Party on a starvation diet. Messina and senior White House adviser David Plouffe (Obama’s 2008 campaign manager) have told top Democrats that they won’t receive any cash transfers from Obama’s campaign or the Democratic National Committee. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sought commitments for $30 million, the amount distributed to them in the 2008 and 2010 election cycles. Not this time.

Let me translate for those of you who don't speak bull crap:  as Karl Rove has noted, Obama's fundraising is disappointing and Democrats are panicking.  Confident parties have more than enough resources to go around, and this sort of cannibalism reveals a party that knows it can't win turning on it's own.  Stay tuned, this is going to be fun to watch....:)
