U.K. Telegraph: "McCain Could Still Win"

The U.K. Telegraph wrote:

American patriotism, strong in all classes, is universal among blue-collar workers. McCain, a war hero, is its embodiment. And by taking too long to disavow Wright, Obama sowed doubts about his own patriotism that still linger. If not dispelled, those are McCain's single best hope of achieving a win against the odds.

Personally, I find the Telegraph to be naive in assuming that, except for doubts over Jeremy Wright, Obama has a lock on the presidency.

Doubts over Barack Obama include much more than Jeremy Wright. There's also Father Pfleger and Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn; there's Obama's anti-white racism: he once attributed minority poverty to "white greed runs a world in need."

Even more devastating: Obama is a radical leftist who wants to socialize the American economy while reducing our military and leaving Americans vulnerable to the terrorist threat. Obama's father is a radical Muslim and his mother a communist. Obama's personal affiliations and family background are cause for serious concerns over his beliefs and loyalties.

America under Obama would be European-style socialism and pacifism: higher taxes on everything from income to energy; a greatly weakened and demoralized military and heightened vulnerability; massive immigration, particularly of unassimilable Muslims; amnesty for all illegal aliens already here. Socialized medicine, where medical care will be rationed as it is now in Canada and Europe, leaving many to die from want of care. Greater governmental control and suppression of the free market in the name of "environmentalism," causing scarcities and prices to rise. Finally, nothing will be done to halt Iran's march to nuclear weapons. Expect a nuclear attack on Israel sometime during Obama's first four years.

Obama is riding high in the polls now, but the campaign for the presidency has barely begun. Obama's negatives will be showcased, displayed and dissected over the coming months, and many voters won't like what they see. It is always naive to base a candidate's chances this early in the campaign, because early impressions can and will change. There are many speeches, debates, editorials and analyses to come; Obama will have to defend his radical ideas before unfriendly audiences. He's cute, but no one wants to elect a cute idiot.

"McCain could still win," but that possibility exists for many more reasons than Jeremy Wright. It is our job to make those reasons obvious in the coming months before the election.
