McCain really looks like a pale old geezer compared to Obama. You (R)'s are toast. All the energy is on the (D) side.

Unlike Bush, 'what me nation build?', 'I'm a uniter, not a divider' dimwit you guys voted for? You people are the worst voters in history. You have nothing to say to anyone else.

Obama is raising huge false expectations. That is an deceitful thing. I doubt the veneer will survive the stress of the general election campaign. It will be interesting to see if he pulls back the rhetoric a bit now that he has it almost in the bag. I see Obama as having a completely unexpected sort of success. Similar to Elvis when he first took off. Elvis was just trying to become a successful singer, so this nice young kid went out on stage and swivelled his hips and sang some black songs, and all of a sudden he was the center of national attention. What could he do but more of the same? and so his career was launched. But if Obama only does more of the same, won't he get trapped up there at 30,000 feet, floating on his platitudes, the blank screen onto which all project their desires? How does he go on from here? Can he keep up the same schtick until November?
