Slip sliding away ...

Another state, Indiana, falls out of the "tossup" category, and into the McCain column, not that Obama was going to win that state, anyway. It's actually hilarious, how we moved from Obama being some kind of "transformative" figure, "the kind of politician who comes along once in a generation, if that often," to this ... thing I can't describe without using extreme profanity, and few "liberals" defend with much enthusiasm any more. And his negatives are going up, just as those of us who saw him and his campaign as fraudulent said they would in the face of Republican attacks and media indifference. It's amazing how ordinary a politican looks when his opponents aren't being demonized for him by the press. He'll probably still win -- the Republicans have fucked things up that much -- but then, Pyrrhus won. This cycle should have been about more than winning and losing this election, but then, online liberals should be smart, too.

If the economy starts sputtering to life he'll get crushed, which is exactly what should happen to a zero term Senator running for president, but time is running out on the economy....
