Yes, and with a decent degree of confidence. That's what needs to happen.

Indeed. It's called forensic authorship analysis.
If Cashill's theory pans out, it would be worthwhile to present the most damning A/B comparisons in a slick 527 commercial that will have Bambi once again howling to the Justice Department and calling TV stations to demand it not be aired. Certainly, his reaction to that earlier ad linking him to Ayers and Dohrn shouts vulnerability on the issue.
What do Osama and Obama have in common? They both know somebody who bombed the Pentagon.
I am hoping that there might be a Freeper with the resources to do such an analysis. I do not.
Exactly! There are computer programs that analyze writing. I would think a criminal forensic expert in this area would be able to figure out who did the writing.
I seriously hope the American people have the good sense to keep Obama out of office for this and **many** other reasons. That the polls show the race to be so close is scary that we have so many citizens prone to socialism and Marxism.
There is another important element that can be researched.
Recall that Obama had a book contract and a $40,000 advance in hand before he left Harvard. An incredibly odd occurrence, since he had never written so much as article before, much less a book. Publishers don't do this kind of thing...unless they're given a reason to.
He failed to deliver a single word. Never mind. The publisher gave him another $40,000 advance. By now, he was a guest lecturer at the Univ of Chicago -- and they gave him an office and a secretary for the express purpose of helping him publish.
Still, no book. Until he left for Bali and spent six months there...writing. He came back with a book...and the rest is history.
But this chain of events is extraordinarily suspicious -- from questions why the publisher lavished such sums on an unknown (and untried) author to who actually wrote the book, really?
If there is a suspicion that William Ayers -- or somebody else -- ghost-wrote "Dreams of My Father", a little research to determine whether they've ever been to Bali would be in order.
