  JESUS MAY HAVE BEEN A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER....

  But the roof over His head didn't top a Southside mansion, did it?

  And He didn't fly over to Rome to get a bunch of beside the point Europeans to stage Big Brother rallies for Him, did He?

  If Obama was such a memorable community organizer, how come we haven't heard all that much about the success of His projects? What exactly did His organizing end up doing for that community, anyway? Who are these workers that witnessed His organizational triumphs? Who in the end benefited most from His community labors?

  And more to the current point, Obamabots, who is this majority that is going to be voting for him? And why would they? Based on what?

  Where exactly are they supposed to be coming from?

  If this majority was really there, would articles like his one even be necessary?

  Instead of delusionally partisan reporters give you the Happy Spin Cycle, maybe you could step away from your computers long enough to drive a few hours outside city limits and ask any small town cafe waitress just how many people there are supporting Obama. But that's really not what you want to hear, is it.

  You don't want information. You need affirmation. All zealots are more gullible than logical.

  You insisted on foisting Obama onto the ticket. But it sure doesn't mean we have to vote for him.

  Or McCain either. But, unfortunately, in times of crisis, the stressed skew to the familiar. And that's precisely why today you know so much about Sarah Palin. Instead of Hillary Clinton. And if you think that last sentence is irriatating now, just keep it in mind over the next four years.

  Tough luck, Democrats. When we who are now Independents and will write in our choice told you that this was a bad idea, all you could do was insult us.

  And now you think somehow there is going to be enough of a majority to share your Kool-Aid. Why would they do that?

  Change is built on incremental trust. There is nothing at all reassuring about either Obama, McCain or Palin. But most Americans will relate least to Obama. Palin was hand-picked for exactly that reason and you know it.

  The only possible way a GOP candidate could win this election would be to run against a completely unelectable Democratic candidate after eliminating any viable contenders.

  And, such a Rovian coincidence. That is just what has happened.
