>>> The utterly incompetent Pelosi and Reid would have a free hand in crafting just about anything they could think of. And I doubt Obama would have the political courage to "moderate" them. Ten, it isn't a matter of political courage. He doesn't have that -- he's never bucked the party in his 143 days. That's not the problem though. He wouldn't "moderate" them because he is more extreme than THEY are. We're talking about electing a person who not only supports Partial Birth Abortion, but supports allowing a baby, the result of a failed abortion attempt, to die. This is a guy who supported walking away from the Iraq war, even though practically everyone involved realized Iraq would collapse into a problem that would be with us for decades had we done it. It is, of course, well hidden -- so you have people like Michael on this thread who seem to have missed the extremism. But it is there, dormant, and will return early in November.

Oh he has political courage. I'm not at all fond of Pelosi and Reid but Obama will run the show, as Bush did with his Republican congress. He has already demonstrated his independence. As for McCain he is continuing to demonstrate that he shoots (and misses badly) from the hip, as has been his reputation. He's a hothead... with an overblown image of his own 'rightness'. We've been down that path... we need somebody with contemplative intelligence that will think through the issues. Only one guy like that is running. He's a pragmatist not an ideologue.
