The Hype Says Obama Could Never Be Elected

ignore all of it -- stories about the angry white women, the racist voters, handwringing about the latino voters, the jewish voters... it's all just hype and tools to 1) try to get hillary on the ticket as vice president 2) to try and scare up votes for john mccain because he's going to need them 3) because the media loves a good bone.

these stories are getting hyped, but in the big picture, none of it matters. jewish people will vote for obama, white women will vote for obama. latinos will vote for obama and no, there aren't enough racist voters to give the election to mccain. these sorry bigoted folks are the minority.

ultimately, it's a contest between john mccain, who's so obviously a bush clone with improvements, and obama, who is clearly the one to beat. in about two months, we'll see that it will barely be a contest.
