Hmmm... despite her rather obnoxious demeanor, I agree with her that the DNC and the media pushed Obama in and didn't really listen to the voters entirely. However, the tide may have now turned anyways; most stats show Obama will probably also outdo McCain in the general election. If Hillary is on the ticket (still a possibility) as VP, it is a certainty. Then with both a Democratic executive branch, and Legislative branch, get ready for a Socialist expansive manifesto, the likes of which you have never seen. All reason and balance might be in jeopardy, PC jargon will be the rule of day, Government will expand and Co$t us more (all of us, not just the "rich folk"; Obamanian definition of "rich" includes people I would consider quite humble). Dissenters will be weeded out in short order. Nothing to cheer about. Frankly, I'm somewhat fearful of the future, and not just because of the "new" government. Recession is already moot, Depression is looming. Dark times. When folks get desperate, desperate things start happening. Look for sharp increases in crime, more violence, and a less "feeling" populace. Hunt or be hunted. Fasten your seat belts. Bush was a complete putz, but we may be descending into something darker (absolutely no pun intended). This, my friends might be the last chapter.  
I don't think Obama wins and here is why. McCain is not Bush. And trying to sell him as such is inane. McCain is a Democrat, Obama is a liberal. What the putzes out there don't understand is what a real liberal especially one as black as Obama really is. Think Jesse Jackson on steroids although he will render Jesse and Al Sharpton both obsolete. What was it that Eddie Murphy said in one of those  48 hours movies. There is a new Sheriff in town and I'm your worst nightmare. Something about a badge. How did it go?
Problem with Obama is he has associated with the wrong folks. White hatin folks. And you can bet that won't resolate in a general election like it has in the primaries. I still think there is more dirt that will be revealed about Obama's meteoric rise out of nowhere. His wife is so easy she just can't seem to keep her yap shut. I'm waiting with baited breath for the "whitey" tapes.
So what does that leave? Well it leaves John McCain who would be a lot more bi-partisan than Obama. Hell what Gene says is right. Give Reggie Hammond a badge and set him loose. Hell he thinks it's a mandate, after all he got elected on change. I will be interested in the debates where Obama has to do a little more than face Chris Mathews or Keith Oberman in a love fest. Where his hope-a-dope stump speeches won't fly. Don't quite give up yet Gene, it ain't over yet and even if Hillary is on the ticket she is not the decision maker, he is and you can bet that will be hammered home
