(Emphasis mine)
The danger is that, in their headlong rush to stop the first major female candidate (aka "Hildebeast" and "Hitlery") from becoming president, the punditocracy may have landed the Democrats with perhaps the least qualified presidential nominee ever. But that creeping realisation has probably come too late, and many of the Democratic super-delegates now fear there would be widespread outrage and increased racial tension if they thwart the first biracial presidential hopeful in US history.
But will Obama live up to the hype? That, I fear, may not happen: he is a deeply flawed candidate. Rampant sexism may have triumphed only to make way for racism to rear its gruesome head in America yet again. By election day on 4 November, I suspect, the US media and their would-be-macho commentators may have a lot of soul-searching to do.
And this is what I've been saying over and over. They (the DNC, MSM, progblogs) are all foisting an unvetted, inexperienced, little known, "hope" candidate on us because they think there's no way they can lose in November. Oh, but just wait until the GOP starts in on The Precious. Forget about comparing McCain to Bush. The Obama they'll be running against has way more in common with the GWB who ran in 2000; he's a "uniter", who's going to bring "hope" and "change", who misspeaks on more than a few occasions.
What Obama will find out, and is already getting a taste of, is that he has also something in common with the Bill Clinton of 1992; he's married to a professional woman in her own right, who is outspoken, and has made comments that don't sit well with a lot of voters. Oh, dear. Imagine how that is going to play out. Hmm... And just imagine the outrage of the Obamaphiles. They will be shocked, just shocked at the rampant sexism and vilification of the Democratic nominee and his spouse. And they will be look to the Hillary supporters to 'call out' the media and the people making these outrageous claims!
And to them I will say, "Good luck with that."
