Subject: RE: BS: Obama '08
Shouldn't it be "No different from Clinton"? In which case why such a song and dance about from Fantasma or (previous noms de plume) it all these months?

Surely the right way to see all this is that, if Obama gets elected and turned out to be anywhere near as good as his supporters think he will be, that'd be pretty good. And if he falls so far short that the mass of those supporters get really disappointed and feel cheated, that's a lot of people who could be open to a more radical and direct type of political activism, and that could be pretty good too.

Sounds like quite a good two-way bet to me. (Of course he's still got to beat McCain...)
