By his entry into the race for the democratic nomination for the president, knowing all the frenzy it whips up, and cognizant of all the skeletons in his closet (Wright, Pfegler, Michelle, Rezko, ...) Obama has managed to transform a democratic cakewalk in this presidential year, into a hotly contested race, with a decent shot for the republican candidate, John McCain.
It is pretty much agreed that he will get the nomination. The black people, and the misguided white people, have together denied the nomination to Hillary Clinton who spent a lifetime in the political arena, and gave it to the political neophyte who makes his inexperience his qualification, his lone speech in the kindergarten years of his political years as his flagship achievement.
At this point, the nomination is worth as much as John Garner's celebrated pitcher. Obama as the candidate will certainly lose to McCain, his inexperience glaringly apparent. He has alienated wide swaths of traditional democratic voting blocks, with his asinine comments.
If by some miracle, the Super Doofuses see the light, come to grips with the unelectability of this not-ready-for-prime-time Snake Oil Salesman of a candidate, and nominate Hillary Clinton as the party's nominee, she too will have a tough problem, with a big traditional democratic voting block, the blacks, sitting out feeling they wuz robbed!.
This is the double whammy facing the Democratic Party this year; thanks to Obama's entry into the race.
He may have entered the race with a view to increase his visibility, position himself for a better political future. As dumb luck would have it, his campaign caught on, and he didn't have the sense to put a brake to it. He let it race forward with abandon. And put the party in a pickle. He should have had some adult supervision.
McCain wouldn't last more than a term, if that. I am afraid we are going to be faced with the prospect of his Veep being the republican nominee, four years from now.
