Prospects, Grim and Other

I'm a pessimist by nature. That's why, when Pollster.com sees a narrowing Obama lead, I get really depressed. Grover Norquist and his anti-government fanatics that control the Republican Party have nearly succeeded in destroying the country and our economy, but a very large fraction of the American people still can't connect cause and effect. Stupidity, racism, and lies are still a potent combination, especially among old people in the West, South, and Appalachia.

It's possible that Obama's legendary cool is becoming a handicap. I know that he has to avoid the "angry Black Man" image, but I would have been more reassured if he had blasted back at McCain just a little in the debate.
