"What if she ends up becoming president?" I asked. "It would concern me," said Scott. "But less than if Obama were president." We also agreed that the take-away scene was one of the more surreal in recent political history: The Palin family, baby bump and all, waving from the convention stage to a crowd so adoring you'd think it was a Peter Frampton concert. "That family is so American," Scott said. "The pregnant daughter, the baby with Down syndrome, the husband who doesn't have as big a career as his wife." "The boyfriend with the embarrassing MySpace page," Kim added. "That's real life! Go Sarah Barracuda!"

"Exactly," Kim said. "She reminds me of my grandmother, who worked on the farm and could hunt and grow food and raise kids and have two of them die and still go on. You don't see that in politics a lot, and you don't get it from going to Harvard, but that doesn't mean it's not valid."

When Obama came to South Chicago, he believed in community organizing; within two-and-a-half years--by the time he and Jerry Kellman went for their late October walk around Harvard's campus--he was clearly growing disillusioned. Now, having fashioned a political identity in near-total opposition to the core principles of his one-time profession, Obama's bid for the presidency may come down to this: Is he willing to rediscover--and put into practice--one of the main principles he followed as a twentysomething activist all those years ago?

'Nuff said.


No that's not "nuff" said, at least by you

More evidence of the GOP base electing the lowest common denominator into the highest office.

:laugh: And they're proud of it, apparently.
