re: #193 Decatur Deb
Some are more electable than others. OTOH, it looked like Obama was dead in the Summer of 2008 when Rev Wright surfaced. He pulled it out with the best speech of his life, and I don’t know if anyone new could do that.
I like McCain in 2000, but I never thought he had much of a chance in 2008. I don’t remember Obama ever being in trouble in that race. I don’t think I’d ever been more confident of an outcome than 2008.
