This isn’t con job – it’s an election. The last “con” job was Kerry pretending to be a war hero – and was swiftly sunk.

Obama, to his credit, hasn’t tried to sell himself as being anything except “change”. That makes him harder to swift-boat. McCain is McCain. Same guy, same story. Either you like McCain or you don’t but you’ll have a hard time catching him misrepresenting himself.

So this isn’t a con. This might be a stampede, or a bandwagon, but it’s not a con at all.
