"I predict that Sen. Obama will win and win handily."
Agreed. I put it like this the other day:Indeed, the fundamental concern was accurately expressed by Hillary Rodham Clinton's catchphrase "commander in chief threshold." The dog whistle that she and husband Bill sounded for ruling elites was whether this man could even conceivably occupy the Oval Office. Thanks to the Palin nomination, the answer is a resounding yes. For by no objective, fairly applied criteria is Obama less a leading figure than Sarah Palin. Indeed, her family dynamics have confirmed Mr. Obama as thoroughly mainstream. Because of Mr. Obama's reception on the world stage and Sarah Palin's thin resume, the Illinois senator's bona fides are not even remotely debated anymore. An Obama family in the White House mirrors the cover of exclusive majority white prep schools that feature smiling black and brown faces.
Initially, I thought many were right that Joe Biden offered very little to Obama. But what Biden did was make Barack the safe choice. John McCain reacted as an unprepared schoolboy who copies off his classmate's homework. Senator McCain made an unconventional pick that heightened his own internal contradictions: a superannuated white man emphasizing his age and alien status by wearing earrings, an excessively long platinum chain with out-sized medallion hanging by his waist, accompanied by a long-legged hoochie with unusually large breast implants at the 4040 Club or H2O.
Sarah Palin was the absolute worst selection to make if you wanted to exploit Senator Obama's exotic lineage. If one accepts 'Change', then who better than Obama? Running on a threadbare platform with a running mate continuously assaulting something that you've been a part of for nearly thirty years is poor strategy. Choosing a white female version of Clarence Thomas is, likewise, conflicting.
Having an understudy outshine the lead is not how shows are cast. After all the excitement surrounding Palin, are folks really supposed to pull the lever for John McCain just to watch Sarah recede into the background? Again, it makes no sense. I've never seen or heard a precedent for it. And JFK-LBJ does not even apply. In football terms, this would be the New England Patriots allowing Tom Brady to take them right up to the Super Bowl just to give the starting quarterback position to Drew Bledsoe. Not gonna happen.

The only thing that hasn't changed in any of these candidates is unilateral, bipartisan Zionism.
Unfortunately, that is the one thing that could liberate this country if it DID change!
