Title: Obama Taking Moderates & Independents from McCain

This was kind of interesting.  As Obama siphons out the moderates and independents, the remaining Republican base becomes more conservative, obviously to the Huckster's advantage.  Now the Huckster seems like a nice enough fellow but he's obviously unelectable.  McCain is more electable, but "100 Years of War in Iraq" is not exactly what the electorate is looking for this time round.  So nothing but a new 9-11 could save his ass.  Ratcheting up the terror threat from Orange to Reddish-Orange with Hints of Turquoise won't work any more.  This looks to be adding up to an Obama landslide if the DLC doesn't blow it by picking Hillary, although even Hillary is viable, given the long nightmare of the Bush administration.  You can fool some of the people all the time . . .

Unfortunately, Obama mightn't really be the agent of change that he likes to pretend he is.  See "Obama's 'Change' - Be All You Can Be For U.S. Imperialism" on the Progressive Labor web-site at

Obama might be electable after all.

I suppose you realise that a canadate that got the stamp of approval from MT and the Progressive Labor web-site would be unelectable.

LMAO.  Funny but sad.  And true.
