Deep Thought

Campaign strategies in a nutshell:

McCain: Obama is a BIG SCARY BLACK MAN! And I’m a WAR HERO!

Obama: I’m actually a cute, cuddly teddy bear with good judgment, and its safe for white people to vote for me. My opponent is a war hero, but he’s also JUST LIKE BUSH, and he’s a REPUBLICAN.

And that’s probably as much of a narrative as many uninformed, attention span limited Americans can handle. So, the election will come down to who is scarier: the Black Guy, or the Angry Old White Republican Dude.*

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

* Assuming always that enough of the black guy’s voters actually get to vote or have their votes counted.
