bsrsharma: The GOP has been hijacked by the Religious Right, as evidenced by the swoon over Mike Huckabee who, in my opinion, is damn near unelectable. He shares a similar history to that other boy from Hope, namely some significant skeletons in his closet.
I might be a jaded arch-conservative, but I did really enjoy Obama’s speech, as well as watching him energize the younger vote. We have yet to see the Hillary machine go into full attack-dog mode, but you can bet this will happen shortly. How well Obama handles that will be predictive of his overall chances.
On another note entirely, it is interesting to watch McCain’s resurgence after being written off for dead just a few short months ago.
This will be a very interesting race. Even more interesting is the response of the American people: Not apathy, but energy.
