And no, posting it in English would not make it more convincing.

Obama needs to be prepared to address the draft question, it's only a matter of days before
McCain or Cheney bring this into the campaign.
Obama should get out in front of this issue, by asking Bush, what invisible army are we going to send to the aid of Poland if he installs those anti-missiles systems. It's too late for Georgia.
Whatever Obama does he can not rule out a draft or he will lose the election.

If Obama is as good of a politician as I think, he will soon exit after extracting his next career
position from Hillary.
He knows the math and since I believe he is a control freak and decision challenged he will never be willing to place his future in the hands of another(his VP pick).
He will never be able to select a VP that will be perfect enough for him and may have already may a deal with the Mayor of NYC to do the selection process for him. A deal that may have avoided a 3rd party challenge but something that now would lead to a total rejection in the GE.
He knows he is not ready for the next stage and if he is honest with himself will step aside and get ready for 2012.

Obama has to win in PA to get the nomination. He has to show he is a winner and not a whiner.
A close loss is not going to be enough. At this point it's not about Hillary but about him. He has to show he can get votes and not just crowds.

IMO, Condi is being test marketed to sub for McCain at their convention or shortly after. It's looks
to me like the old bait and switch if Obama gets the nomination. John Roberts is being held in reserve if Hillary gets the nod. I don't believe Cheney will ever take a chance on McCain.

48. It is foolish to think Cheney will leave McCain on the ticket, and Obama will not carry NY or CA. nt

Obama will probably face Gov Palin or Jindal. McCain's health problems are
becoming more obvious. Is he ready?

My last word on Obama's VP pick, it will be Melinda Gates or Caroline Kennedy.
The past is prologue.

Political geeks totally miss the power of pop culture, that is why Palin may well be the next President.
The political pundits (real ones and DU pundits) think its all about government,issues,leadership, the common good,etc. They have bypassed the influence of pop culture and don't even try to understand it or its role in getting people elected.
The focus of the current culture is best summed up by reality TV shows. The pop culture glorifies stupidity, wannabes, and easy solutions to complex problems.
Right now pop culture knows it doesn't know what is going on in the world, is fearful of economic ruin, feels guilty for enjoying soft porn, want to be cared for, and above all don't make me think it hurts my head.
That is why they love Palin. She is hot, mouthy, doesn't think, hates science and math, and doesn't give a shit about anyone but Palin. She is them.
Palin knows this and will milk it for all its worth (right now 7 million and rising) and will run in 2012 and probably win, unless the pop culture shifts or is shifted to serious concern for themselves and the planet.
The only good news is fads and pop culture come and go quickly usually 4 or 5 TV seasons.

IMO, Jindal was not lying about being VP, McCain will dropout and endorse him for the nomination.
I think Cheney is pulling the plug on the McCain dog and pony show.
The only question I have is, has Cheney found out who Obama will pick for VP because he will bring in a matched pair. If it is Obama/Clinton then Cheney will bring in Jindal/Palin.
We'll know more Thur with the big LA announcement.

Why does anyone think Obama will win? Almost every DU'er seems to be the only vote within their
immediate family, their extended family, their job, and their casual friends according to the many posts fighting the brave and lonely fight for Obama. Even here I doubt Obama gets 51% due to being non citizens, not registered, incapable of making any decisions, underage, etc.
In my area of upstate NY there is 0 support, no signs, no car stickers, 20% outright racism, 30% covert racism, 25% won't vote for varies reasons, and rest will vote for Obama but will not say so publicly.
I think the reality is Obama is down about 15% and anyone who thinks this is a cakewalk is a fool.
