Spengler is unquestionably brilliant. I agree with most of his article. However Spengler was wrong when he said:

“McCain doesn’t have a tenth of Obama’s synaptic fire-power..”

McCain likes to come across as a “good old boy” but it’s an act. I once heard a lecture given by McCain to some European academics. McCain’s lecture was extremely erudite. McCain only shows his intelligence when he sees it to his advantage. That’s a big difference between him and the “Chosen One”. A demagogue’s greatest weakness is he must always appear to have the answers and be in control. The moment the demagogue shows weakness or indecision then his hypnotic power breaks.
