that's how I would summarize Obama's campaign.
Empty rhetoric.
You live in your bubble to believe that the election can be won through AA's, students' and liberal white's votes. That has never been the case with the previous candidates. There is a pattern that doesn't change but you can delude yourself into believing that a messiah called Barack Hussein Obama with zero experience and zero accomplishment and little knowledge of current affairs would be able to change this with empty rhetorics on "unity" (number one BS of this primary), "change" and "hope."
In the ideal world, yeah, all have to gather behind him and support him. But why the rush? Anything can happen to implode his campaign (and the sign is all over the place) between now and August (and no I am not implying of his assassination). What are you gonna do then when it happens?
Why risk a shoe-in election with an untested, unknown candidate with many skeletons in the closet who won marginally through a tainted, questionable system and rules, and who, on top of it all, OBVIOUSLY is running out of gas toward the endl!
That doesn't make sense to me. That's why you need careful and critical analysis to make sense of all these conflicting factors. Why choosing a candidate who can't win in GE?
That doesn't make sense to me.
