Partypup,
Joking aside, I think your observations are good.
I really never assumed anything other than what you report with regards to the establishment connection. Yes it is serious.
Obama actually reminds me of Kerry the overstatesman.(yes I know, I made it up).However, I can’t help but be happy for the black people for whom it matters that he is a candidate. There is some affirmation of progress in that, even if he really is a average politician in many ways and perhaps disappointingly so to some.
