Gravatar Oops! It really shows the amount of support and impression Obama has with the people. It was clearly reflected in the much important South Carolina primary.. I'm crucially waiting for Feb'5th.

Gravatar I am still waiting for PTJ to take on this phenomenon with a bit of Weber, charismatic leadership, and its problems.
Surely I can't be the only one who things that this is now over the top. This isn't about the second coming of the Messiah, this is about electing a chief of the executive of a allegedly secular political system.
Does anybody actually expect Obama to fulfil all these expectations? Won't the disappointment be even harsher?


Gravatar a.behnke raises some issues that could elicit a real response; however, not being PTJ, and not wanting to disappoint with an insufficiently nuanced response, i won't say much...except that when you get Ted Kennedy in full voice plus Caroline Kennedy in a not-all-that-huge space packed to the rafters basically anointing Obama with the mantle of JFK, things are going to get a little out of hand (no i wasn't there, but i saw the clips on the news).
also, you have to take account of the quite substantial symbolic significance of the possible election of the first african-american president; in the context of US history etc, this is a big symbolic deal -- a totally obvious point, but it perhaps bears on what a.behnke apparently perceives as a quasi-religious fervor among certain of his (Obama's) supporters.
