2. Obama has studied, very carefully, every Presidential election
the past 30 years. He knows the score, and how to win.

3. Obama is usually well prepared.
So I have faith that he'll figure it out.

7. You could say Lieberman was great too.
But it's not just about the campaign.

6. I know! It's insane!
Lieberman seemed alright although I felt a bit uneasy when he opted to also run for re-election for Senate (at least from what I remember) at the same time. Then he turned out to just be a corporate shill who's easily bought. Now Edwards basically showed that he was just another politician who made a hypocrisy of his crusade against poverty with his fishy use of campaign funds to finance his mistress who ended up having the baby of an aide of his. Isn't that so messed up? It's like some fucking soap opera. It also really doesn't help the perception that politics in the South is basically a trailer park with a refined facade. This does NOT help.


So hear hear for hoping that Obama has better judgment. VP vetters, this means that you do your goddamn job!
