Obama's The One

Hillary does not go gently into that good night, does she? These immodest, power-hungry madwomen seldom do, but I guess the problem in Hill's case is she just can't find a willing asp to thrust against her bosom. Most of the snakes are too busy looking for rocks, maybe.

I have to admit, as an old fan of Machiavelli, and a student of Lee Atwater, I thought Barack Obama would lose this contest for refusing to go negative. I suspect he's thrown dust in a lot of eyes, because there's another, far less common, way to win elections — boots on the ground.

It takes a special sort of mind to win on organization skills alone, a sort of upper story above and beyond charisma, to wit, the ability to concentrate and think. CEO's and Army majors have it. I only wonder where Obama learned it? Is he actually a compleat genius?
