I think Mr. Andersen summed it up pretty well!

I tend to believe Obama is wiser and more worldly than Carter

Keep the faith! I see Obama as dumber and even more naive than Carter.

I think an Obama loss in November would be particularly disheartening for the country. It would amount to a national statement concerning our racial divide

Utter nonsense, already they're trying to portray an Obama defeat as racism.

It's the policies, stupid !

Yeah, at least he is being realistic instead of emotional.

Still, by reading his words, I see a man with alot of cats with very soft hands and ghostly white skin in the middle of July.

Bill Clinton—a fiscally disciplined, welfare-reforming Democrat!

WTF?

[Billthedrill]

And on geopolitics, I’m far more convinced that President Obama would summon up the requisite steel and shrewdness than I am that President McCain would become sufficiently nuanced and diplomatic.

Now there's something you'd want to bet your country on. I think we can return to the "two words: Jimmy Carter" point.

So far he’s holding onto his base—among people under 30 and college graduates, his support has actually increased. Two of the unenthusiastic constituencies, old people and Catholics, don’t seem to be growing more antagonistic. But the two other relatively Obama-unfriendly blocs, female and working-class whites, appear to be turning against him—especially white women. In just one month, according to Pew, Obama (and Hillary Clinton) virtually erased the gender gap: In April, he was beating McCain among white women, but by May, McCain was running ahead of Obama by 8 percent.

One of our employees, a die-hard Dem, just said today that he cannot vote for the O. He, after a lifetime of voting D, will vote for McCain.

Obama is a horrid choice for the ‘rats, no doubt about it. Of course he’ll have the media on his side, and he’ll get 90% or more of the black vote. And he’s of course got the uber liberal white vote.

Other than that, I think he really does have problems.

Old folks won’t be nuts for him. Rank and file union people, I don’t think, will vote for him...of course their bosses will...young people might vote for him, but they are not a huge demographic. Married people? Not a chance; he’ll raise their taxes. Wealthy people? Nope. Poor people? Not if McCain lets them know Obama’s plan to make them poorer.
