Analyze away! Analyze it to death, if you must. There are far more interesting questions about scenarios "post-primary" than the end game voting cycle and the impending coronation of Barry Obama. For instance: Where is Reverend Wright and how much was he promised or actually given, to keep him from doing what comes natural (opening his big mouth)? Next, will Obama TRANSFORM (one of his campaign's favorite words) himself back to his veritable status of "bi-racial" ? The ersatz African-American identity will have already served it's purpose and the need to qualify for blue collar white votes will be so great that Obama's minions will almost surely tout the up to now blurred truth; he is not African-American in the sense that all others who fit that description are. He has no relationship whatsoever to slavery or emancipation. He was raised socially and culturally "white" by white people. His skin color is a function of biology (not history) and since he already successfully hyped the African-American community into automatic "brother" support, he may now have to do a chameleon like ethnic "transformation" to racially assuage the white vote required for the final act. Be on the look-out for this and other Axelrod tactics that are aimed to sell perception, not substance.
