I thought Obama's acceptance speech, as those things go, was exceptionally adult and thoughtful.
My prediction for the Republican convention is that it will hit all the conservative buttons: anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, pro-gun, pro-war, abolish all taxes & drill for oil under every bush...and will NOT be exceptionally adult and thoughtful.
My prediction for the general election is that McCain will win because Obama cannot get enough white male votes. It's that simple.
In a year when people are panting and groaning with the desire to get rid of the present incumbents, the Democrats could have won by nominating any presentable white guy in a flag pin. Instead, they offered a choice between a black guy and a female.
Call me a cynic, but I think we're in for 4 more Republican years.
