Perhaps with respect to arrogance, yes; but, overall, no. <BR/><BR/>To me, it still appears such ludicrous and dangerous event would lead to Jimmy Carter's second, mixed with the worst of George McGovern, Michael Dukakis and others of their stripe.<BR/><BR/>But I do agree about the intersection of arrogance and stupidity in Barack Obama and his campaign. <BR/><BR/>Thing is, as many of us have heard or know, ignorance--of which there's abundance in Obama and his camp--can be cured.

No.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, again, for the post.CKAinRedStateUSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051384804727827611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-13769801481167963652008-07-16T16:54:00.000-07:002008-07-16T16:54:00.000-07:00"overwhelming numbers made it clear they didn't wa..."overwhelming numbers made it clear they didn't want him to win those states in November they wanted Hillary Clinton" <BR/><BR/><BR/>This is so insightful and well thought out.
