We are?
Think about that again, then get back to me.
"Is he as naive as some think he is?"
It is those who think like [that] who're naive.
We're talking about the heir to the candidacy of the Democrat Party of The United States of America, here.
One might see crooks, slicksters and some say --as in the case of Clintigula-- even murderers (or at least complicit in).
Not a fool.
"If so he may bolt, like a startled horse, when he sees it and try to expose those strings."
Maybe, maybe not.
**Much of your --albeit logical-- theory relies on whether or not our quisling mediots even *ask* the kind of question(s) you suggest.**
Remember Clintigula?
So very many question never even asked, eh?
"Lots of interesting things could happen then."
Yes.
Lots of interesting *things* are likely to happen, anyway.
All for them, none for us.
Are ya pumped!! :o)
"Of course the gap in the continuity of the status quo reality will be quickly covered over..."
Yea, see ** .
"...but there will be a brief moment when the works are uncovered."
People will see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear and disregard all the rest.
Careful assuming the American public understands much of anything, too.
A loser's position, every time.
"But he may be much more street wise than he appears to be."
Gee whiz TE, y'think? :^)
Lesse now, a shyster from Illinois residing in Chicago.
Perhaps because of your geographic location you haven't heard of Illinois *&* the state of Chicago's reputation.
I have, all my life.
Let's just say when Obama --& any other pol from IL-- dies? They must be strapped to a power auger & screwed in[to] the ground.
This Obama, he's one greased eel.
"He may be prepared to deal with the most malevolent forces that come at him without even a hint of breaking character."
Like his running for the nomination?
Like that? ;^)
"So far he has barely acknowledged the existence of the mighty power of Clinton Inc. Innocent prey or crafty hunter?"
Nawwwww, why sh/would he?
He knows what we all at this place know about the Grifters.
I'm betting he's daring them to make a power-play in which case he's guaranteed something good.
Blacks who only want to see a black in the WH, can't name a single thing Obama's done nor care?
They'd make a fairly respectable *army*, y'know.
Don't think for one second the opposition doesn't understand the nature of what they're dealing with and up against, they should since THEY spawned the Frankenstein Monster.
There're extreme consequences for messing with this so they'd best be careful or they might very well find themselves in someplace akin to Fort Mercy Park.
I am not kidding, either.
FWIW I half-suspect the big eared louse made a special trip to SC for one reason: to cinch a deal with the Breck Girl. BG's delegates in exchange for VP.
How's that?
Obama's in a position to make a hellova lot better deal than Kerry ever could offer because Obama's gonna win.
Everyone who's anyone knows it including, but not limited to, the Breck Girl.
"Or he could be in the middle. Youthful idealist who will come around after a crushing dose of reality sets him on his butt."
Careful projecting, seeing just what you want (or would like) to see, now.
We're dealing in what is & isn't plausible, right now reality is Obama's so if anyone has to guard their butt it'd be Hillary. And that's some butt to protect, too.
"We just don't have a good idea yet of how big is his ego..."
TE he's not just a garden variety politician, he's one running for POTUS.
Been groomed, arose from --literally-- nowhere & stands poised to wrap it up.
Point is there are no bigger egos on the planet, maybe in the galaxy for all I know, then the kind one witnesses vieing for that job.
"...how good is his jiu jitsu and how pragmatic he is. It's a given that he's jumping into shark infested waters. Maybe he will use sharks as surfboards."
Obama gets the 'Rat nomination & knows all-to-well *sharks* come with the territory, begin circling at the mere hint of a meal. Blood's not the only thing exciting sharks, I'm told.
>We aint seen nothin', yet. Any criticism whatsoever will be labeled an overt, or covert act of racism.
"He can use that to herd sharks pretty effectively or kill them if he wants to. He has proven to be pretty skilled so far. That poison well is a huge aquifer and he has tapped directly into it. That power is his to lose now."
Bottom line: Obama ain't gonna lose anything.
*Only* thing I'll be waiting --with baited breath -- to see are exactly WTH's behind the guy.
Otherwise, I'm pretty much resigned to my fate & political terminal shock's set-in.
Look at this another way, the powers-that-be didn't pick McCain for nothing.
>At this stage there's only one *entity* to blame for this predicament, the GOP. Not that they care. What bothers me most is I cannot, however hard I try, figure out the reasoning, the motive(s) behind this.
"The only rational conclusion I can find for that is unspeakable. No one wants to even think it."
HA!!
Well my friend, they'd all better damned well start thinking about it.
...now. ;^)
Think about that again, then get back to me.
OK

McGovern.
Mondale.
Dukakis.
Gore.
Kerry.

I was thinking of people who have their eyes open. There are more than perhaps you think there are. The "public," by and large, will never get it.
Lots of interesting *things* are likely to happen, anyway. All for them, none for us. Are ya pumped!! :o)
Now that sounds more like the "sky is falling" crowd around here. Since when does history unfold smoothly and neatly following the expectations of likelihood? Stuff happens.
Like his running for the nomination? Like that? ;^)
Yeah, like that. He done good work in the junior beauty pageant of the primaries.
They'd make a fairly respectable *army*, y'know.
Good for a few weeks rioting no doubt.
There're extreme consequences for messing with this so they'd best be careful or they might very well find themselves in someplace akin to Fort Mercy Park.
I'm not sure who you meant but my answer is "that's a double edged sword" anyway. That's what I meant about the "unknown quantity." With the whole Kennedy clan in his corner, and who knows who else, I don't think it's safe to bet on who is deadlier. He could be more dangerous than even he knows. What you are saying there is ... stuff happens.
Careful projecting, seeing just what you want (or would like) to see, now.
Back to the first answer. I was just outlining the spectrum of possibility.
Look at this another way, the powers-that-be didn't pick McCain for nothing.
Or maybe the picked him precisely for nothing. Now we're full circle back to what no one wants to think about. It is all planned out.
