| Well, as I have said before (in this very thread, as I recall), I've been giving Obama lots of rope on this one - from the inception of this controversy I've defended him, as it seemed he was above what he was being accused of. I'm slightly ashamed to have been so effectively swayed by the saintly image he has projected throughout the campaign, but that's water under the bridge.
I'm not particularly angry about it either, just a little bit disappointed - though I never fully believed the "Saint Obama, Visionary Leader" monikers he's been attracting, I would've much rather that turned out to be the case than what we're facing now. Especially because my own research over the past few days makes me think IDad is right about the math regarding Obama's chances in November. I don't think McCain will be as bad as GWB, and should probably be much better (he has a much narrower set of issues that he is an ideologue about, and is much more pragmatic overall in my opinion), but I would still prefer either Democrat - and unless something dramatic happens, I get the increasingly sinking feeling McCain could be the next President. |
