Down to the Nub of It

For balance, I make an effort to read the New York Times. On the home page of the website there is a story titled Where’s the Bounce?. This is a blog article discussing the causes for the narrowing gap in the polls between Obama and McCain, written by Adam Nagourney. The blog itself does not offend as NYT often can, but within the comments, one of the first gets right to what I believe will become a recurring complaint for committed dimocrats...

Barack Obama, a once in a lifetime candidate and potentially one of the great leaders of the 21st Century, is not doing better (he is ahead a bit, so that’s good) because of one thing.
Good old-fashioned American RACISM.
Also: the fact that McCain, a mentally, constitutionally, and ethically weak candidate, is getting a free pass from the Press (except for MSNBC) on all his terrible behavior over the last couple weeks.

Now isn't that special. We're a bunch of racists because we don't want to vote for a man that advocates retreat in Iraq, tax increases and compulsory community service. Obama is such a "once in a lifetime candidate" that he could not handle an interview by the sycophant anchor Katie Couric. The news service most supportive of the dimocratic party, is MSNBC, but is far from the only supportive network, ABC, NBC and CBS are all clearly in favor of the Obama campaign. In the printed press you have Time and Newsweek openly allied with the dimocratic party. The New York Times went so far as to print an editorial by Barack Obama then refuse to print a rebuttal editorial by John McCain, claiming that the content was not acceptable to the editors.
I said months ago that Obama would be hard to run against, because all criticism, when things get dirty, will boil down to the charge of RACISM.

Annie, that kind of horseshit will only play to to your own audience, it smacks of fear and desperation. The DNC has fairly selected it's liberal candidate and will likely fail because of exactly that.
