    Obamafolks, Enjoy Your Epic Win Now!

    Enjoy the moment, Obamafolks, since it's the last good news you're gonna get. The real problem with your candidate, aside from his radical and squirrelly associations, is his total lack of experience. If he has any idea at all how to approach issues like rising gas and food prices, the housing mess, Iraq and Iran, whatever, it's a mystery to me. I don't think he has the slightest idea. We are supposed to think that his superior ability to bring people together is going to give us great (but totally unspecified) results. Give me a break.

    I've voted Democratic my entire life, but I don't know if I will vote for Obama. I'm not saying I won't, just that I might not. Why? He simply appears not to be up to the job.
