No More Mr. Nice Guy!

This week's token blog post...

It's kind of weird to move from a very conservative city like Phoenix to a much more liberal one like Pasadena, where it's just taken for granted that you are an Obama supporter, and people who have McCainite acquaintances whisper about them in hushed tones with rueful head shakes.

Anyway, I missed yet another debate due to my crazy work schedule but I am growing increasingly optimistic about Barack Obama's prospects. After eight years of the Junior Junta's incredible corruption, incompetence and arrogance, of which every sane person is thoroughly sick, the type of red-meat Swift-Boat campaign that McCain is waging just doesn't cut it any more. People don't care about someone who was a radical forty years ago, when Obama was eight years old. They care about the next six months. Will they have a job? Will they have a roof over their heads? McCain doesn't get it. Mr. Eight Houses is too out of touch, too angry and resentful over non-issues, to connect with the majority of voters.

Of course the rethugs can still steal this election, and they will if it is at all close. If it's within ten points, they will Diebold it and the "liberal" media will duly report on McCain's amazing comeback. We need a landslide! We need the margin of victory to be so wide, a McCain "victory" just won't pass the laugh test.

I'm concerned about some Obama supporters becoming complacent. We need to fight harder than ever, and not take a single vote for granted. And of course once Obama is inaugurated, the real hard work begins - cleaning up the Augean stables of the Junior regime's infinite incompetence!

The winning post is in sight - don't let up! Onward to victory next month!
