Well, there are too many preening asshats on the Dem side who want a shot at 2012 and Odumbo is the placeholder (in their eyes); they want him to be a one termer (or less) as badly as we do.
I think you are right. Have you heard any member of Congress gushing over him the way the press does? I haven’t. In fact, we have read that Pelosi and Reid have told him not to do anything behind their backs or else and other similar stories. I think they will bring him down for one of their own and sooner rather than later.
