Spare me the true believers.
I dont mean the people who support Barack Obama for president. I support Barack Obama for president. I mean the people who worship him to the point that anyone who says anything raising questions about the inevitability of his rise to sainthood, much less the perfection of him and his wife and his campaign, is deserving of damnation.
I wrote a column last week about how the Obama campaign needed to guard against the arrogance that many people tell me they have detected in dealing with them. I didnt condemn the candidate. I didnt say he doesnt deserve to be president. I just made the point, which seems almost obvious to me, that he isnt president yet, that even with the great speeches and adoring crowds he found abroad, the race remains very close, at least; that there is resistance in many quarters to his candidacy and while some of it may be race-based, some of it reflects legitimate questions about experience, and policy; and that whatever its basis, in the end it doesnt matter if more people vote for McCain than for him.
Heinous, one woman wrote to me, in describing my thoughts, and me. Heinous? Oh, of course, and racist and stupid. Thanks. Such comments came not from conservatives who oppose Barack Obama but from true-believers who are ready to condemn anyone who has not joined the revival.
Hold on a minute.
Ive been out there fighting to elect Democrats for the better part of three decades. I know what its like to win, and I know what its like to lose, and winning is definitely better.

She wrote a good column, which obviously upset the Obama thugs. She could have slunk away, but no, she writes another. My respect for her has increased.
The A-word (arrogant) is becoming associated with Obama even within liberal circles. This is a significant development.
Have an old reference about John Adam's wife being pretty nervous about their son attending Harvard.
Obama needs to go away period.
As you said, “She wrote a good column, which obviously upset the Obama thugs. She could have slunk away, but no, she writes another. My respect for her has increased.”
Same here,Pg. At times Susan Estrogen can really grate on the nerves, but lately (thanks to Fox?) she has shown a more reasonable side......besides she seems to be the only lib with a sense of humor.
