This says it all for me...
An article in USA Today, it's decent, nothing horribly profound, save for this quote:


"Are Democrats coming surprisingly close to nominating a phenomena rather than a fully vetted candidate?" asked Steve Jarding, a long-time Democratic activist. "The answer to that appears to be a frightening, 'Yes.'


Here's a link to the full article: http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/columnist/raasch/2008-02-14-raasch_N.htm

I would so love to post this in GDP, but it will be total flamebait...might be fun to watch them all try to refute it though :evilgrin:

2. Yes, I see a predictable pattern
Any criticism - no matter how well-founded - is immediately met with ad hominem attacks. Much more rarely do supporters actually deal with the content of the criticism and offer any evidence.

It should scare anyone who believes in that old lawyer's saying about what to do when the facts and evidence aren't on your side.

5. Very good article
unfortunately those who are under the Obama spell would never understand what is being said in that article. They would simply see it as another unwarranted attack against the anointed one.

Sigh...I fear we are all screwed.
