His policy positions and statements range from vapid to ignorant." I actually agree with you, but these are descriptions that anyone must satisfy in order to get ahead within either national party. If you're running for president and want to sabotage your campaign, just go around making comments of merit and substance. The opposition spinmeisters will promptly fashion those meritorious statements into a noose, and slip it around your neck. I'm not complaining, mind you. We have the best democracy that money can buy. “Cotton candy has more substance…he is the cynical product of a corrupt political machine… utterly lacking…accomplishment.

I KNOW that's all he is. His CV is a parody that wouldn't survive an Indy script writer brainstorming session. Racist. Marxist. Hack. And if the gaffes coalesce to the point that a very modest number of Old Media icons (the Washington Post has already put a little hurt on him)... then there is a technical episode characterized by the sound "*poof*" as the crowd realizes there really aren't any clothes on the Hopey one. The New York Times will carry water until there is no town left to save... but the push back the big three networks are already feeling over the Obama World Tour fellatio fest is already squeaking out across the intertubes... Hillary never conceded; not even close. The Friday confab gave Obama a chance to be graceful in victory, and he and his crew completely missed the boat, the bus, and even the oxcart. Hillary might have pulled back until 2012. Not a chance of that now. None. Two words for you: Floor vote. I bet it takes at least two ballots. Maybe three. And Denver will burn. Hillary may not get the nomination. But she'll be assured of facing a Republican incumbent, so she's got nothing to lose. I don’t think that Obama is an empty suit media construct.

I have to admit to some doubt since Hillary withdrew (did she actually, officially, irrevocably...?). But the last week in Obamania has caused my confidence to return. I am now certain that Obama will not win the election. The recent adulation contrived by a fawning press has been over nothing! Cotton candy has more substance. To the extent he is not a cliche of Ivy League elitist leftism, an airhead or an empty suit, he is the cynical product of a corrupt political machine (both Chicago and national Democrat) utterly lacking experience - let alone accomplishment. His policy positions and statements range from vapid to ignorant. Whether self-deluded Democrats admit it or not, Obama is an embarrassment - a fact that clear-eyed Democrats, independents and Republicans are all but certain to grasp no matter how shrill the shill for Obama.
