Barak Obama is the hottest political person in the main stream media. He is on all the talk shows and in all the newspapers. There was a poll recently of Democrat candidates and he was in a statistical dead heat with the front runner, Hillary.
I have seen articles about how team Clinton is in a state of panic. They are unable, at this time, to stop Obamamania. It is making Hillary Clinton look beatable. Her polls have dropped as his have surged. No matter what she does, she comes off looking like the second fiddle. In one article I read, it made an analogy with the girl in the poodle skirt in high school that has everything set up to be class president. Then along comes the transfer student that has everyone going goo-goo eyes. The steam would be coming out of the girl with the poodle skirt's eyes with every step. All she had worked for would be overtaken by someone who did not have to work for it at all. Oh, the inhumanity of it all!
Team Clinton is probably getting the sharks ready for the attack. When it is time, they will attack Obama with a vengeance. When they are through with him, even his own mother would not vote for him. They do not just go out to defeat an opponent. They go out to destroy an opponent. Obama seems to be a political neophyte. That would put him at a distinct disadvantage when playing the particularly difficult hard ball politics played by team Clinton. In a way, I feel sorry for Obama. He has no idea what he is about to face. He is in the good times now. Wait until the attack dogs get through. He will wonder what hit him.
Of course, I could be wrong about this. He is from Illinois. They do have a reputation of playing hard ball in Illinois. He may be ready for anything Hillary and team Clinton can put up against him. If he is, then he is the real deal and will be difficult to beat in November 2008.
My gut feeling is that Obama will be swamped by team Clinton. They have too many different ways to attack for him to be able to fend off all of them. They will be able to find pictures of Obama with anybody, including Teddy Roosevelt. Photoshop can do wonders with pictures nowadays. The article I read speculated that he would be pictured with a hooker, maybe even a dead hooker. That would kill a campaign quicker than you could say, Jack Robinson.
