Democrats are counting their chickens before they have hatched when it comes to President Obama. The longer the campaign goes on (and it seems like it has lasted FOREVER!) the less enchanted citizens are becoming of the Democrats' choice for their candidate. As what happened in 2004, they put up the worst candidate they could find to run against a very vulnerable Bush.
This time they put all their eggs (back to the chickens metaphor) in a basket of the candidate they think has very little baggage and offers "hope" and "change". Once again, with a weak candidate on the Republican side, they are being guided by rabid anti-Bush liberals who are blind to the truth that Obama has no experience... in anything and would vote for Ariana Huffington if she were on the ticket! What they fail to realize is that the rest of us have a vote too.
I might vote Democrat if the right candidate presented him or herself. But Obama is not that person. He as all but told us that he is going to raise taxes and grow government, particularly because these two issues make Democrat wins more possible. And as weak as McCain is (Republicans have made a similar mistake but fortunately have chosen someone who at least has experience!) he is better than Obama. And I predict in the fall we will be talking about President McCain.
