The Insane Good Luck of Sen Obama
Okay, I'm probably writing out of my ass right now, but bear with me.
When Obama ran for Senate, he was originally running against Jack Ryan. (no, not the Tom Clancey one)But then it came out about the sex clubs and what not and he had to drop out. Then the Illinois Republican Party had the good
sense to nominate Alan Keyes in his place. Alan Keyes. Yep. So, yeah lucky.
Now fast forward to now. You're Barack Obama. You're running for president. Things are working great. Looks like you are going to get the nod. But you have this problem... This big problem. You've got a crazy minister. Like John Brown crazy. Okay, well this sh*t is going to come out. You know it will. Well then,when would be the best time for it to come out? The year of fundraising and appearances? The many months of campaigning and debating before Iowa?The months of primary after primary where every gaffe can kill you on Super Tuesday or Super Duper Tuesday or Potomac Tuesday or That One Other Tuesday? Ooh, how about right at the Democratic Convention? Or better yet, during the General? When the Republicans are bearing down hard. The nation is watching.
No, instead the whole crazy minister thing comes out in the small window where he's technically battling it out with the last other running candidate even though he has the whole thing pretty much mathematically locked up. It would be like if Gennifer Flowers came out right when Gov Clinton has the nom locked but Jerry Brown was still kicking around, causing trouble.
He's ahead by by 133. There are only 693 left on the table. I'm notone to believe in jinxing it by saying it. He has the sh*t locked.
And therefore, having this stuff come out now, out of all the years he's been running for Senate, running for the Presidency, it comes out during the best possible time for him to let it burn out and fade, it's right now.
Like I said... lucky.

You said it. It's like "Time" is also rooting for him. It's like I've always said, "A person doesn't call for the time, Time calls for the person.". That's my own personal quote...I think?

Call me crazy, but I think maybe a better time would have been AFTER the last two bigger states had held their primaries. Ya know? How about after IN and NC but with some time before Oregon? If I was planning it, I could have done better. I betcha that top political planners could have done even better than me. But hey, maybe Clintons aren't really, really desperate. Or maybe they are.

I don't know... this way he gets to prove that he can win major contests even with the albatross around his neck.

So lucky to have that name. So lucky to have such an unfamiliar name against him in the primaries.
Agree as to writing process.

That's true. He's no Sheldon Whitehouse.
