whiskey,

I read the material at the link you provided. Damn good work, and I appreciate it. I don’t mind being wrong one and being corrected.

My question is: How to account for Obonga’s popularity in the polls? Does it mean that many people in the Middle Muddle have been intrigued with him? I still think that among younger people (under-40) he is very popular and that many of these people have accepted the MSM view of the projects of GWB. I worry about the will of the nation to fight and prevail in a war. I really do. The nation, as it is now, could absolutely not tolerate the kind of casualties and failures we experienced in the second world war. Hell, a fair proportion of our own people even obsess about killing and interrogating the enemy!

The other thing is that the Democratic Party tends to experience political gains during times when the nation is anti-war, like it is now.

Something is afoot. I’d like your take on it.
