But it is your last two paragraphs that really hit home. I feel exactly the same and for the same reasons. I will vote for Obama, but I don't think he can beat McCain. And should he become President, I suspect he will make us yearn for Carter. He and his supporters have destroyed all of my positive feelings toward him. And they have no idea how much damage has been done to his reputation. Superb analysis.

anna shane.

you began with “my argument is…”.

no pious declarations about what you do, or do not, believe about politics. no preemptive assertions about your good intentinons.

just a nice argument, well presented.

this post of yours is a pleasure to read.

it is relentlessly analytical,

devoid of pointless or insipid derogatory campaign rhetoric

(i emphasize “pointless” and “insipid” here,

not “angry rhetoric”, which most definitely has its place.),

and it provided me with information

(about kerry, for example, and about obama’s poker playing as a help in understanding his campaign style)

which i did not have and which i consider useful.

thanks for the excellent work.

hope you will post more here in this fine analytical style.

The MSM is enabling him on his so called likability factor. Much as the republicans have done through the media they project their worst characteristics on the opponent. Are we really going to elect another president based on rediculous media brainwashing such as "he's the guy you'd like to have a beer with?" More redicuously BO is sending a thrill up the leg up the collective leg of the mainstream media. AND...btw...he's suppose to be bringing the country together. I think we've heard that before to no good end. I have thought this many times. The MSM is enabling him on his so called likability factor.

I don't hate him, i hate the way he's using hate to beat up girls, but he's a politician and McCain's worse. He’s a democrat and far better than McCain.

That WOULD be a good thing for Obama to do. Maybe they could give him Sibelius's state.
