Indeed, I am not

Submitted August 20, 2008 - 2:25 pm by Steven Hunt

Indeed, I am not particularly worried--and I take the electoral map senerio you posted above as a given.

I still think that Obama is a better campaigner, his policies are better, his team is more crafty/insightful, and his ground game is vastly superior.

Your narrative that figures McCrack ahead I think is actually a positive development--basically because it alarms a large number of people that easily tend to think that O-man has this election in the bag  (ok, people like me).   These folks will definately be more inclined to donate money and more agressively involve themselves in the campaign going into the homestretch.

McCrack's appearance at the Brokeback Mt.Church certainly did achieve a solidification of the Rep. base behind McCrack.  This was the calculated benefit from this venue.

No, I am not really worried.  I desparately want Obama to win, and will do what I can.

However, barring outright fraud, if a skilled left-of-center politico like Obama can't win this election in the face of deep economic problems and a substantial decline in US global prestige--well, that just means that the population is asking for more pain.   If O-man loses because of the deep racial fears and white priviledge here in the US, what the hell does that say about the US?

Anyway, again, I will do my best and project my best hopes that my fellow citizens can look at policies, and the historical record of the Bush administration.

By the way, there seems to be some massive head-faking toward Bayh (according to Yahoo News).

I will consolidate behind whomever Obama chooses at this point--even the vile Hillary.

You all know the types of VP that I would prefer--but I have to say that I am a bit disconcerted that this race is even close at this juncture.   But if anyone can pull ahead and win, it is Obama.

The corporate media don't want Obama (though the majority of the straight reporters may)--and they want to focus on the horserace elements of the campaign to boost profits.
