None of this will matter. This will be an election decided by emotion, not thought. Look at the overwhelming black support for Marion Barry. It did not matter what he did. In fact, the worse, the better. All that matters is that Obama is black. This will draw even those blacks who never before bothered to the polls, plus a lot of guilty white votes and a lot of people who simply share his Marxist ideals. If by some miracle McCain wins, expect serious rioting.
Also, no one will dare dig up the dirt on him or ask him inconvenient questions because anyone who does will be shouted down as racist. Look, even Hillary is forced to hold her punches. Can you imagine a cartoon of Obama with monkey ears, like the ones they have been drawing on Bush? No way! He is untouchable.
Obama is untouchable now—but the day will come he will be mocked and branded an oreo cookie. His supporters will find him less about change than a re-packaged Ted Kennedy.
