With BO's impressive academic achievements, public organising experience, experience as a practising attorney, public speaking abilities, Senatorial experience, general health and demeanour he is perfectly well qualified for the role.
Add to that the fact he has one of the most experienced Washington old hands as his VP, and a bipartisan approach to the officials he will nominate to posts of influence (in contrast to the neo-cons), plus the back-up of the Democrat party machine and Capitol in general and the squeaking from the peanut gallery (they who nominated Palin as their VP
) is just so much Hype. As predictable as it is pathetic.
