Not to pick a fight with David Thomson, but there can be no intelligent argument with a person who parades their opinions as empirical facts.

“Obama may possess the slimmest resume of any major presidential candidate in the last one hundred years.”

Please show me the details of your exhaustive comparative study of a century’s worth of presidential candidates. Or just say, “I think…” before you open your mouth.

“that’s one of those colorful Southernisms. “That guy’s so addlepated he couldn’t organize a two car funeral.” ”

Jeez, and I’m not even Southern. I must have fallen for one of McCain’s coded racist appeals to da redneck Jooos…

No one’s going to point out to Ricpic that Mexico is part of Western culture? No one?

Sorry, Herb, I got behind on comments.

Only one thing counts: this country will be minority white before 2050 if the Mexican invasion is not stopped. You know what, pendejo? Some of us don't actually care what the majority race is. ...America will no longer be a white country and therefore no longer culturally western. This will surprise the bejeezus out of Cervantes, Columbus, Isabella and Ferdinand, and Jorge Luis Borges. But then since G'ma Julia always called me Carlos, I suppose I'm just not culturally western either.

Not sure what you mean by your reference to “a two-car funeral.” Whose funeral? Why only 2 cars?

Herb, that’s one of those colorful Southernisms. “That guy’s so addlepated he couldn’t organize a two car funeral.” A “two car funeral” being one that is extremely small and relatively simple.

But McCain saying $5 million is the line at which somebody becomes rich was a bit of a gaffe too.

Only because McCain should be aware that any statement which can be used against a Republican, even when ripped bleeding from its context, will be so used.

Actually, I take that back — since McCain’s very next statement confirms that he’s aware of it.

Maybe it’s just more evidence that McCain is being completely manipulated by his handlers and will say anything to get elected.

Herb, the thing that you’re missing is that all the other people you mention had real accomplishments to run on. Obama has nothing except race. Geraldine Ferraro was correct.

Obama did get very lucky in that the Democretins never really understood how disliked Hillary Clinton is. She had 49% very negative ratings so that opened the window for the Nutroots favorite alternative. As pointed out, in this case race, and the massaging of guilty white liberals feelings, were all he had going. Enough for the primaries maybe but he’ll be dead meat by October if Hillary doesn’t come back and steal the nomination.

Now, I have read that Biden says, “I’m not the guy”, thus illustrating why he could never be the guy.

Somewhat OT

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Obama picked Biden for VP. It would be great fun to keep count of the stupid things he’ll say and to have a Biden bombast meter going. Oh, the Republicans can only hope and pray that Obama picks Biden.
