    He *is* an empty suit. It's just nobody was allowed to SAY it.

    He has not one single significant accomplishment behind him, but nobody was allowed to say it.

    What few honest blacks I can find on the matter were all shocked to find out the guy was running for President without even completing a Senate term (or showing up). But nobody was allowed to say it.

    His middle name is Hussein - but that was off limits too.

    Of course his wholesale endorsement of the racism he falsely accused all his critics of was off limits. (at least until the Republicans unleash the tapes of Michelle Obama yelling about "whitey" in October to take Congress back).

    So I'd like to thank the liberal wing of the now 100% ash Democatic party for foising this loser out of Victory's jaws.

    I"m sure there are a few numbskulls that don't think he'll lose worse than Dukakis, and please note their savvy plan:

    Staying on the internet calling people racists and preparing to blame their landslide defeat on the candidate who would have cleaned McCAin's clock.
