Subject: Can Obama win?
Bart, does anyone seriously think Obama has a
chance in hell of winning the election?
It's been over for months, ever since he gave
his brilliant race speech which only
succeeded in unifying the misogynists, homophobes,
bigots, racists and religious whackos.
And if you haven't noticed, the majority of the
American public are idiots, have no idea
of policies, issues, Constitutional crises, the
law and could care less about politics.
I've noticed that - I think that's why people
say, "I'd rather have a beer with Bush,"
because they don't have to learn anything after
picking their "favorite."
They're too busy watching reality TV and tracking
the celeb-du-jour. Active progressives
operate at a level of political understanding
which does not apply to most of the country.
Add into this mix ongoing voter disenfranchisement
(military and in one of the 4-5 swing States,
remember FL 2000, OH 2004), electronic voting
machines (can you believe nothing has been
done to correct this?), ReThug Secretaries of
State in several swing States (i.e. Blackwell)
and the corporate whore media.
It's hard to believe the Democrats haven't bothered to secure our votes.
The only serious remaining question is who McCain
will choose for VP, because McCain
won't last the 4-year term. I'm still guessing
Jeb Bush has a chance just before or at the RNC.
I hate it when people say Jeb's gonna be involved in anything.
The U.S. has to complete its crash & burn
under the current system of corporatism and
cronyism before sometime in the distant future
enough people wake up and are willing to
take to the streets and restore our Republic.

Peter - let's hope we're both wrong.
