I didn't think that there was a way Democrats could fail to win the Presidency in 2008.
But I underestimated us.
We not only can lose the election; at this point, I think we will.
I have been writing for weeks that I believe that the injection of race into the campaign was not an accident. Nor is the campaign in the Jewish and Christian communities to label Obama a Muslim fundamentalist. Nor the accidental-on-purpose references to drugs or even to Obama's youth (older than both Clinton and JFK when they ran, why is Obama's youth a negative?).
In fact, virtually the entire campaign against him has been smear and innuendo with a racial subtext.
It better stop, but I expect it won't. It won't stop because after Iowa it was decided that Obama could not be defeated fair and square. So fair and square went out the window.
The result?
A Republican victory especially if McCain is the nominee and pledges to serve only one term.
