I have tried to keep my political views off this list for the most part, but 
I agree with you, John.  Obama was the media darling, and if you're not the 
media darling nowadays you don't get elected.  True McCain made some 
critical mistakes, like not going after Obama when he clearly had him on the 
ropes about his church affiliation, and picking that bubble brain for a 
running mate, but Obama has a lot to hide in his past.  Unfortunately, we 
have another Jimmie Carter and many of us remember how incompetent he was.
