I have no idea how Obama became the nominee of the Democrat party this year.

He ran against one of the most hated 'clans' to ever visit politics. But, as I mentioned before, the 'ethnic ceiling' will NOT be broken before the 'gender ceiling'.

Barack's loss is inevitable, the repurcussions unpredictable. I'm buying me an OJ mask. I suggest others do the same.

I wish McCain took a Margaret Thatcher clone as his running mate. Condi Rice would be a second option. She's a two-fer and authentically black. It would be wonderful if the first female vice-president was a Republican. It would pull the rug right out under Obama.

I’m not convinced the Democrats hate the Clintons. They’re not very popular with us. That’s for sure. There was this love affair that developed for Obama. Hillary has always been an abrasive witch, but she nearly pulled it out anyway. Obama was loved a bit more than she was, but it was quite close.

The racial ceiling in major cities and then governorships weren’t led by females unless I’m forgetting some things. I think the presidency will work along the same lines.

I would probably vote for J.C. Watts without much trouble. I would probably vote for a Jean Kirkpatrick type without too much trouble. I think Jean was a bit more of a Democrat than I’d be comfortable with, but her international relations performance during her tenure was pretty good.

I don’t want to see either ceiling broken for the sake of breaking it. I’m sure you agree with that. When a capable individual comes along, they’ll be voted in. I won’t mind as long as they have a firm grip on Conservatism.

I don’t think Obama has a firm grip on much of anything.

You may be right, Obama may be doomed. If he loses now, it will be because it becomes apparent how weak a figure he is. If he can keep up the orations, avoid debates and avoid making mistakes, he may not lose. The Democrats are desperate to get the White House back.
