Beware of the False Horse Race.
The M$M will do there best to generate a false horse race. We have 5 months to define McDubya, and to build on the frame that Obama has defined.

The General Election is going to be about the Economy, the War, and the stark differences between Obama and McDubya.

Let us not forget that the M$M benefits from the perception of a close race. Let us also not take anything for granted.

Obama and the 50-State Strategy can win big, with coattails!

Obama/? '08!!!

3. ...and even more importantly who vetted them?
...which leads us to find out who vetted the vetters vetters, and whether they themselves, had in fact, been vetted....

2. I think you are absolutely right.
They also benefit from continuing division within the Democratic Party. I think we have to be vigilant.

6. The only time I hear people saying McCain is not weak
Is when I watch TV. He's about the worst candidate you could ask for. Let's look at his list of attributes:

- He's a flip flopper

- Pro war when the country is not

- Hasn't a clue about the economy

- Is generally a slow talking/bumbling idiot

- He's older than water

- He's a Republican

12. He is his own biggest enemy.
He is opposite the People on every major issue.

We have a bi-racial candidate who's first act was to keep the money chasing lobbyists out of the Party.

McDubya is the OLDEST candidate ever. He is the whitest, he can't even go in the sun because of his 4 melanomas. He is surrounded by lobbyists, and doesn't see anything wrong with an permanent Occupation in Iraq.

9. CNN, bumper stickers, yard signs, the Country is overwhelmingly Probama.
Obama is looking good, and will get better in these early polls, as his Nomination takes hold. But, the M$M will continue to give the impression that MCDubya has a chance. His ONLY shot is to steal it outright.

11. And that's why they say he has a chance
If people believe that it's 52-48 they won't be surprised when McBush wins. If people know it's 70-30 it would be pretty hard to steal.

14. I think we should also make it a referendum on the Republican Party.
That movement is broke. They've got absolutely no ideas besides lowering capital gains taxes and drilling in ANWAR. That's it. I'm afraid that during this election it will become too much about McCain and not about that stinking ideology called conservatism.
