I want Obama to win. I rooted for Hillary because I thought her more likely to deal with the Republicans’ skill at pinpoint attacks and misinformation, with well-placed soundbites, with manipulation, but my heart was always with Obama — my hope. But now I’m just plain worried, even afraid. He’s too good a man to handle McCain’s Machiavellian bullshit, with that army of finger-pointers and bait-and-switchers. He can’t win unless he fights dirty, as dirty as they do, and he’s not up to it. If someone doesn’t shoot him or nail him to a cross, he’ll lose before long, and many of us Americans desperate for a new day for this country, for belief in all we once represented to the global community, for a man of real character, heart, will be hard-pressed to recover.<\/p>\n
