<<<Don't know how typical I am. Just my own reactions. >>> Not to get personal, but I would place you in or at least on the fringe of the Reagen democrat voting block spectrum. If I were a dem strategist, I would think you would be on my radar - at least - I would not be writing you off.

I feel the same as you. Barack's messiah phase is over.

Obama is definitely derailable, but he should have been elbowed off the track early on by the superior, stronger, more experienced candidate. That he wasn't should tell us something about how political currents are running now. And if Ohio and Texas had broken a bit differently, he would have zoomed along into the general campaign. All that said, this issue of Hillary relying on a particular demographic - less affluent and educated blue-collar whites - raises a big question mark about strategy in the fall. A Kerry + Ohio recipe is a coin toss on one state, more or less. A wider electoral map with a somewhat different coalition can be a whole new ball game. Obama is just another candidate now, for sure. But the tone and message and aim are noticeably different. That still interests me.
