I still think that Obama is gonna win the election. 2008 can't give me everything I want, can it? This year has already handed me this and this. There's no way things can go my way in November, too.

Still, I'm enjoying watching the Obama campaign's scramble to get back on top.

"Change isn't about slogans. It's about substance," Obama told a crowd in Grand Junction, Colorado. I wonder if he realizes how funny that is, coming from him, to those of us who realize that his "substance" is slogans. And empty bluster. And faulty thinking.

This, from the most prompter-dependent candidate to ever grab his party's nomination. Geez, those big, impressive speeches aren't really so impressive when you realize that he's just reading. I mean, damn. Even Slick Willie memorized most of his speeches, didn't he?

This from a guy who went to Germany and announced that he was a "citizen of the world." . Apparently this Ivy League lawyer doesn't know what the word "citizen" means:

Cit-i-zen: Noun. a native or naturalized member of a state or nation who owes allegiance to its government and is entitled to its protection.

So, see, right there ... you can't be a citizen of the world. You can only be a citizen of a nation, state, city, etc.

This, from a guy who's most recent campaign ads are vacuous and dishonest.

I have to love being hectored about "substance" by a guy who gave his very symbolic acceptance speech on the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's speech. Especially considering how some of Dr. King's family feels about this less than remarkable politician:

“Senator Obama’s answer to the ills of society, of higher government spending, weaker national defense, continued tax dollars to Planned Parenthood, and support of gay marriage, are diametrically opposed to everything African Americans truly believe and an anathema to the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."

So says Dr. Alveda King.

Substance? We're talking here about a guy who promises to bring sweeping change to DC. But when you read the fine print, Obama's promised foreign policy is essentially the same as the policies of George W. Bush.

I think that the panic is setting in because the Senator's campaign realizes that having the Olbermann-watching far left slobbering over their guy isn't going to be enough. Having the MSM ready to cover up your every misdeed isn't enough, either. In the end, it has to "play in Peoria," as they say.

Really, it's pretty funny. The far left has spent the past six months strutting around like roosters, absolutely convinced that their guy was going to win. Now they've hit the panic button. They're already accusing McCain of stealing the election. More than a month early!

And as far as the MSM goes, you'd think that Sarah Palin were running unopposed for PotUS. It's gotta be killing Senator Tila Tequila not to be in the spotlight anymore.

And what's with those polls? A month ago Obama was up by a zillion points. Now McCain is pulling ahead in some places and running in a dead heat elsewhere.

And Barack's campaign barely has time to figure out how to spin one slip when they're hit out of the blue with something they simply can't respond to. And that would be Obama's support for having babies killed if they survive abortion:

HT on that clip to The Ace Of Spades.

Yeah, I still think Obama is going to win in November. People love the guy for some reason. But he's not going to skate into the White House unscathed. And that's enough to put a big grin on my face and a song in my conservative heart.

They're scrambling on the left. I'm diggin' it.
