A view from Philly trenches

CAVEAT: I do not endorse the opinion expressed here, but I do feel it is at least somewhat representative and the post is informative, and worth thinking about. I do tend to be a pessimist (or, you might say, an extreme realist)- one thing it does is make me less likely to be disappointed.

Anyway, I digress. Would love to hear other views on this ( and am looking for some optimism and cheering up too!)

BARACK'S BAD DAY

OK, that cool video I posted below was about the only good thing that happened to Barack Obama yesterday. Why was it so bad?

1) Well, as you may have heard, he's losing -- and it's almost all McCain's Sarah Palin bounce. If you don't believe that's what it is, I was just watching CNN and McCain wouldn't even let Palin come here to the Philly area today as was originally planned. He needs to keep her right by his side.

2) Palin is bulletproof. Voters -- not all voters, but the ones who matter, the ones who haven't been paying attention for three years and nine months -- are responding emotionally to Palin as a mother and -- while the McCain camp would never use this word -- as a celebrity. The Democrats and the media will think she will be underminded by "facts" -- how naive!

bitter Hillary voter who is finding fault in every minute thing Barack does. Shame on you for posting that B.S. here.

Why did you post this PATHETIC opinion piece?

I know in my Philly neighborhood, very Democratic, there's no way these knuckleheads are voting for a black guy. They'll spend Nov. 4 drinking away their disability checks instead. (Wait, that's what they do everyday.)
