It's kind of neat to watch the wheels slowly fall off the Obama campaign, especially as more information is revealed about him, and more people move past the initial "high" of his oratory skills and actually start trying to understand what kind of president he would be.

I still think he will get the nod, and will probably (though not definately) win the general, but it's not going to be the inevitable / landslide that so many believed (and still do believe) is coming.

It's cute that alot of people want to blame HRC and her team for "ruining Obama's veneer" but the simple truth is, the media actually started asking questions, and broaching subjects that were not catered to making him look good.

Clinton may not win this election (probably not, almost definately) but I can say pretty confidently that the media has gone a long way toward making up for the "election engineering project" they had undertaken with respect to the dismantling of the Clinton machine and the building of the Obama one.

I personally know several, hard HARD core supporters of Obama, who while they are still voting for him, are incredibly disappointed over these revelations on Ayers and Wright etc. Most of them feel like Obama was not very upfront about those issues but more importantly, his smug handling of the same, and his visible disdain for any question or forum that doesnt paint him in a heavenly glowing light.

It's still not too late to change course
