It’s a sure sign of panic when the Democrats rely on the Press Corp to rescue their candidate!
Since Obama is the creation of the Press Corps, of course they have to rescue him. They seem to believe they can just pick an absurd Silly Person at random and create their own president out of it. Dukakis. Gore. Kerry. (Was in Vietnam, reporting for duty, the People are so stupid they will blindly vote for a JFK from Massachusetts, even if it is the name of a stray dog.)
And now this creature. Let's name the strategy: "We will pick a minority, pump it up, and no one will DARE vote against it."
