The whole Obama phenomenon...Good for you on Obama! The whole Obama phenomenon reminds me of the episode of Cheers, when Frazier, in an attempt to demonstrate what rubes voters are, gets Woody elected to the city council.<BR/><BR/>Frasier: "But he didn't say anything!!"<BR/><BR/>However, the Dems are so predictable: They always jilt the candidate that they love for the one that they think can win, only to howl, wail, and rend their garments when they lose in the end.

Ironically, I think that Romney has a stronger chance of having a strong showing on Super Tuesday than Obama.<BR/><BR/>Most of the polls that I've seen suggest a significant chunk of undecided Republican voters is out there. Assuming that most voters are quite familiar with McCain as a national figure and remain undecided, Romney might get a second look. And most of the polls pre-date the last debate, in which McCain performed quite poorly and Romney did very well, and the talk radio barrage. This could give him a strong chance of winning CA, MT, and maybe even TN, IL, and ND. Of course, this might just be wishful thinking on my part. <BR/><BR/>I find very worrisome on a number of fronts, both as a candidate and a potential president. I like McCain as a man very much in some respects, but he seems quite temperamental, stubborn, arrogant, and not terribly circumspect. If he is president, I fear that he'll roll over on liberal judges and global warming. Moreover, he seems uninterested and uninformed on the massive entitlements problems the country faces. Not very promising at all.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I really wish the media would stop trying to determine the outcomes of elections with the incessant horse race and campaign strategy coverage. I suspect that the terrible coverage likely results from some combination of bias, ignorance, and the homogeneity of the reporters' backgrounds. If I ever get to run my own media empire, I will not hire anyone that went to journalism school as a reporter--only people with diverse backgrounds and fields of expertise need apply: doctors, lawyers, scientists, economists, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
