Qualifications
The following is a poem stating some of Obama's qualifications for winning, However, he could lose. Think about the reasons why he could lose.

Obama could lose the race, but why?
Is it because he's inexperienced?
Don't worry,
He's not dense.

Is it because of his relationship
with Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Junior?
Well, let's be objective,

Don't listen to a rumor.

Is it because Obama is black?
Don't let skin color
get you off track!!!!

Obamam is intelligent
for Heaven's sake!!!
Please listen,
He's no flake.

Can Obama win
black or not?
We have faith in him
Really, a lot.

I hope readers will read this twice. In this modern day and age, we should not let prejudice get in our way. I also believe that because John McCain has a more demonstrative way about him, and Obama is more soft spoken when he speaks, John McCain could win. I believe we should all analyze what each candidate is stating in his speech rather than the tone of their voices or the insults that they may be throwing at one another. Listen carefully. Does it make good sense?

EXCEPTIONAL poem "Har-Bear"! You hit the nail on the head with this one. Thank for the love regarding my article, "George W. Bush: A$$HOLE!" I'm hearing rumors that the media is picking up on it. "The G-Man"

Wow... I feel like Pollyanna compared to cahotek... and here I thought I was cynical. Some people fear the the Bradley effect may be occuring, in which people tell pollsters they will vote for a black candidate because they don't want to appear racist, then vote otherwise when behind the curtain. So none of us should be complacent, even when the O-man is up in the polls. For some reason, though, I'm feeling optimistic this year. Go, O, go!!

Yes, Obama is clearly more intelligent and better educated, he has a degree in international relations and another degree in Constitutional Law, but don't let that information get out, America is an anti-intellectual Christian country... no smart people allowed. McCain could easily win just because he was third from the bottom of his class at Annapolis. That's still too smart for most Americans but since no one dumber has applied for the job... McCain is very likely to win.
