I agree. And, with all due respect to Mr. Obama, whose smoothness (which is a great attribute) is what is getting him elected, he is also greatly benefiting from a horrible economy and the end of the dspised Bush II era, which any D would have benefitted from.
As I have said before, Hillary was way more qualified and her reocrd has demonstrated she would have been better for the nation. However, she did not win the nomination (due mostly to the odd nature of the caususes) -- so that is that. And, although I am not a fan of Obama and see him as far less of an saving angel than most (based on facts) -- I'd piss on a spark plug to keep McCain and Palin out of the WH.
