"America will never elect an uber-liberal, apostate Muslim and self-admitted drug user to the Office of the President of the United States."

Don't be so sure. He is a very tough candidate. I'd wager that were an election held today between him and Bush, Barrack Hussien Osama would win going away.

A lot depends on the media. I think the media are a little Hillary-weary, and I sense that Obama is their new darling, which means they will cover for him and defend him and act as a virtual extension of his campaign. NONETHELESS, he is black, he has an Islamic name, and will be shown to be an ultra-liberal by the Republicans. Therefore it is just possible that enough middle-of-the-road Americans will be suspicious of this guy and vote Republican, especially if the Republican is Giuliani. (Clarification - Why should people be suspicious of him because he is black? Because black Democratic politicians are almost always far left, way out of the mainstream, often in Kooksville, and that perception might rub off on Obama.)
