This calls for Dirty Johnny


I know, I know.  Because the media is totally in the tank for Obama?.  Ignoring his .....  (Long, long list).  Is that why?

No?  What then?
“ Despite the endless pontificating on TV, in the end it didn't come down to sideshow jive like the Reverend Wright Imbroglio or the Great Sniper Fire Lie. It didn't come down to micro-demographics, or gas prices, or the war in Iraq. Incredibly enough, it didn't even come down to the issues of race and gender. No -- in the end, I believe, it all came down to a hard-to-pinpoint, rarely discussed, but desperately important matter: the personal authenticity of two human beings.

Wrong, camel breath. McCain may be wooden.  McCain may be an insufferable jerk-off.  But McCain is not an amalgam of Louis Farrakhan, Osama bin Laden, and Che Guana.  Twit.

Shit Rodger, I followed the link before reading your comments. Made it all the way through the second paragraph. He still hadn't said anything right.

Obama will never win Ohio, and here's why:

I'm outta Cleveland, and still know a lotta people, blue-collar whites. There's a mountain of latent racism up there, and some of them won't vote for a black no matter what. Keep in mind that Cleveland is a Democrat stronghold. There aren't enough elites in the state who will vote for him just because he IS black, to counter this.

I'm white collar in Columbus. Noone who knows me would ever think I'd vote for any Democrat. My brother Dennis is here also, and he's only informed insofar as what is on the national news. He's quite colorblind: He loves everyone, and everyone loves him, except me (just kidding). He'd probably say he's an Independent, but in reality he's quite the socialist, even if he doesn't know what that means.

So one day shortly after Rev Wright first made his appearance, the following dialogue took place:

Alear: So Dennis, what d'ya think of this Obama guy? Think you can vote for him?

Dennis: Sure, he seems like a good politician and a good guy.

Alear: Watch this then, only 3-4 minutes. This is his preacher of 20 years. (Plays the Wright hightlights.)

Dennis (agitated): I will never vote for Obama.

I knew it'd bother him, but I was surprised he turned so completely.

A close buddy at work, black and outta Dayton, also agrees that Rev Wright is wreaking havoc among Daytonian Democrats. Even he, who's voted Dem all his life, doubts he'll vote Obama.

Cincinnati has long been about 60/40 red/blue. That ratio will only increase.

So, that leaves Columbus. I'd already been hearing rumblings before Wright from my Dem friends/co-workers, about only grudging support for Obama (noone I know is publicly supporting Hillary, odd considering she won here). None of them speak ill of McCain. It'll be interesting listening to them rationalize through the summer how they'll vote for Barry.

In the meantime (and Rodg knew I'd be getting to this), Hillary is still not out. She most definitely can and probably would win Ohio.
