Actually, Amos, I think Obama won the nomination because in the early going MoveOn.org decided to back him instead of Hillary or Edwards.

               Going forward, McCain will have to put into place a competitive fund raising mechanism, and about the only place he can go to do that is to the right-wing-religious-wakkos, so he'll have to cater to them.

               I don't see this as a good development for the country, any way you choose to look at it.
