Regarding the Obama fanatics on

these various Fray boards
Their problem and why they are indulging in furious anti-Palin spin is that most of them previously swallowed whole the anti-Palin spin of the rabidly pro-Obama national press corps and
honestly believed that she was a political lightweight who was going to
fall apart on stage last night.
Collectively they are horrified
that she did quite well and that the McCain campaign is not finished.
Now they are coming to the bitter realization that for the first time
in his life Obama has to bring home a win entirely on his own merits
[well, with the aide of the national press corps, of course; but then
that is a given] and Obama STILL can't close the deal.
Recall
that these were the people who believed that this campaign was going to
be a cakewalk for whatever democratic candidate survived the nomination
scrum pile. It never dawned on them that the nation may not be ready to
elect a first term senator with radical leftist ties during these hard
economic times. Understand that this is WHY Obama's numbers are not much, much higher at this point in this race.
I noticed that [just as I predicted yesterday on a different board]
already these political airheads are declaring the race essentially won
by Obama/Biden and are having a pre-victory celebration before the
voting is finished. It's as if they truly believe that political
realities are meaningless and that wishing 'makes it so.'
These are the same people who were convinced that John Kerry was going to win in 2004.
