Obama's the perfect candidate for a stupid electorate ....

[Onlooker]

He is all style, like Reagan. There's not a lot of substance. The things you remember about Obama are idiotic sayings like Fired Up! and Yes we can! or meaningless ideals like hope and change. His slogans are so meaningless that they could be used by Hitler or Jesus. It's truly brilliant, and it lights a fire under a lot of people.

Obama will win. Clinton supporters might not like that, but she's an intellectual candidate, in the mold of JFK, Gore, Kerry, and her husband. Even though Bill Clinton got elected two times, he had a lot of difficulty. What the country likes are people who say nothing that makes them think. Obama has managed to stay vague enough that people don't have to think. Obama is getting the lions share of the disinterested and uninterested voters, the people who make their decision based on style and easily remembered slogans. Obama's slogans are even easier to remember than the equally meaningless Republican "family values."

You don't have to be stupid to support Obama. I support him because he's running a great campaign, drawing lots of new people into the process, and his views are certainly no worse than Clinton's. Also, while is campaign has made him appear lightweight, it's pretty obvious he's not. He's a very bright guy who understands the chess game he's playing against Clintons and the Republican machine.
