Errr, uh, I might, mmm, not completely, uh, agree with, umm, what this, uh, author is... uh... saying.
Bam.
Entertaining read...Thanks for posting.
On the subject of nasty campaigning, American politics has always been fraught with mudslinging.
Thomas Jefferson hired writers to editorialize lies about John Adams. And John Adams returned the favor.
It actually might be that we’ve become more civilized in our nasty campaigning tactics.
This election cycle reminds me a lot of Superbowl XXII. Back in 1988, the conventional wisdom was that John Elway and the Denver Broncos would roll over the Redskins, much like the elites have already given the election to Obama. I still remember Elway throughing that touchdown bomb on the first play of the game...
Great article. You gotta love the Brit’s take on things. I wish our media had half as much of a clue.
Excellent summary of the campaign and the chosen one’s limitations.
Reading the comments section within the article, I loved this line by an Indiana farmer when asked if he was going to vote for Obama:
“I already have a saviour, I’m going to vote for a PResident”
Great Post! I am going to forward a copy to everyone I know who needs a few points lowered on their blood pressure gauge, but not enough to keep them from voting conservative.
I love it. How many francophiles and anglophiles are now rending their garments, knowing that their savioUr isn’t loved by every Brit on the planet?
BTW, just for the record, Barry Hussein Obama’s book is entitled, “the Audacity of Hope”
Roughly parsed, it means the “recklessness of hope”. If I were to be a betting man, and I am, I would think that by entitling his campaign as “hope” that he wants to proceed, full speed ahead, with no regard for anything.
Well, duh.
But, But He Ventured Forth To Bring Light To The World. How could he not win?
If tiy think the above story is funny, you gotta see this video:

The irony for Senator Obama is that he has built a campaign on a pledge to put an end to cynicism in the political system, but the more he offers only vague promises of hope, the greater the danger that he increases voter cynicism about politicians in general and him in particular.
...The more the campaign is about the concerns of the American voter, especially the state of the economy but also the general anxiety about the direction of the country, the more likely they are to throw the Republicans out. But the uncomfortable truth for the many devoted fans of Senator Obama is that the more the race is about him, the less likely he is to win it. "
Not by any stretch of the word.
