Some candidates may be refreshingly honest but it's a farce for
Democrats to nominate someone who doesn't know _why_ the jingoistic
media ("9/11 changed EEEEVERYthing") suddenly started gushing "Obama
you are so BEEAUUtiful."
The jingoist corp. media ("9/11 changed EEEEVERYthing") were looking
for a naive pump and dump, another John Kerry, so we could stay in
Iraq for another 8 years.
First they flatter the unknown Dem to get him in debt to them and
then, as soon as the viable candidates are out of the picture, they
pull the plug.
And we stay in Iraq for another 8 years.
The Gipster wasn't a pump and dump. The Gipper was old and his
baggage was well known. Obama has yet to prove his teflon.
This doesn't rule out Obama beating McCain, even considering the -7
point spread between what white voters tell pollsters about a black
candidate and how they actually vote. Obama might drop his
paternalism and actually decide to help working people to help
themselves instead of looking down on them. Moreover, the GOP is
getting weaker by the day.
But the superdelegates need to take the above into account and, if
necessary, extract concessions from Obama before supporting him, i.
e., Obama _must_ first publicly announce his support of free speech
for working people.
All Obama has to say is "everyone has a right to free speech on
economic issues."
