MR. OBAMA, MEET MR. HORTON

Obama says he won't be "Swift-Boated." If he really believes this it shows how naive he is about race and politics in America. A black man naive about race in America? Go ask Clarence Thomas. He apparently believes Joe Biden tried to lynch him. Obama is not going to be swift-boated, he is going to be Willie-Hortonized. But surely in this the third millenium, the 2008th year of our Lord, even Karl Rove would not have the stomach to play the race card. Rove knows how to play the real race card; it won't be the tiddly-winks card supposedly played by Bill Clinton.


Hoping against hope. The Republicans are hoping against hope that Obama will be the Democratic nominee. It is their only chance to beat H.R.C.
