Interesting stats and analysis from MyDD.
Among Democratic primary voters, Hillary Clinton leads in the popular vote by 52% - 48%.
Barack Obama is ahead 59% - 41% among both independent and Republican voters who have participated in the Democratic primaries.
MyDD says:
What is troubling is the large influence voters who are not Democratics have on the Democratic Nomination for President.
On a personal level I believe Democrats should choose the Democratic nominee for President

AMERICABlog crunches some other numbers, and delivers its own mathematical intrigue:
A recent PEW poll shows that 10% of Democrats who support Obama would defect and vote for McCain should Hillary become the candidate. But, a whopping 25% of Democrats who support Hillary would defect and vote for McCain should Obama become the candidate.
(By the way, I don't know if it is just me, but doesn't it look like that Democratic donkey in the new party logo is galloping downhill? Interesting symbolism...)

Well, MYDD is a Hillary Clinton site.. so it doesn't surprise me they'd post an anti-Obama screed.
So, read this article by Daily Kos (an Obama supporting site) and let's see if it changes your perspective.
While I'm at it, read this post that shows Democratic lawmakers believe that Obama would be a lot more beneficial to them in helping Congressional candidates to win then Clinton would.
That comment does not come from "MyDD". MyDD is a group blog, like DailyKos; several people blog there.
In addition to that there are "diarists" who setup there own blogs using the MyDD system. They have nothing to do with the main MyDD blog. I'm pretty sure the you posted comes from a diarists.
Donkeys generally don't gallop. They do, however, love to kick.
