Reply #106: The question is whether we want his victory to be ours as well...

Obama is a politician, a rather typical one at that, as such we need to keep our eye on the ball, first step, defeat McCain, second step, pull Obama to the left. If we succeed on the first step, but fail on the second, then the people have lost. If we fail on the first step, then the people have lost in the first place. But we can also multi-task, so we need to keep up the pressure on Obama, while working to make sure McCain is defeated.
