Obama Backs Away From McCain Town Hall Challenge

[Red October]

I figured out what is wrong with The One, but I haven't worked out how to formulate my thoughts into coherent words.  The closest I can come to it right now is that Obama is a product, not a candidate. 

Everyone knows a product is the end result of a lot of research and development and marketing by a bunch of faceless people.  A product itself is just an object with limited use to the consumer.  The ones who really benefit from a popular product are the people who created it.

The people of the USA don't trust a political product with the White House.  Some people are beginning to understand Obama isn't of his own making.  Some people want to know who is behind the making of this object and why they are trying to fool the public into believing this product made itself.   

Would the phrase you're looking for be "Manchurian Candidate?"

nail on the head. He is a product of MoveOn. His talking points and positions are all choreographed there. One world social order. All backed by Soros!

Another poll analysis from Michael Barone.  So much for "new" voters.

Still, the basic dynamics of the race haven't changed. Obama appears to have a small lead. But he doesn't come close to maximizing the Democratic vote. And there is some evidence that the balance of enthusiasm has shifted and that young people -- who seemed to turn out and vote for Obama in unusually high numbers in the primaries and caucuses -- are no long so enthusiastic about him.

The first bit of evidence comes from the July 10-13 ABC/Washington Post poll. It asked registered voters if they were "certain" to vote. Only 46 percent of voters under 30 said they were -- substantially lower than the 66 percent who said so in the ABC/Washington Post poll taken Feb. 28-March 2, at a time when Obama was enjoying a string of primary and caucus victories and before the sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright were circulated on youtube.com on March 13. The 46 percent of young voters saying in July they were certain to vote was far lower than the 79 percent of 65 and over voters who said they were.

small epiphany here !

Librokids don't vote because they get fed up when the candidate turns centrist after they get the nomination locked up.

Then they grow up and naturally become conservatives.

He's following the patern as laid out by Saul Alinsky. The lot are deciples, and the art they practice requires that no analysis be done, no specifics be named. It's all about how we FEEL in that moment. Uttherly artifical and fraudulent.
