I've come across this parody of the "Yes, we can" video, mocking McCain:
One cannot help laughing. Yet, one also cannot help appreciating that there may be something to be said about hard truths not making good democratic appeals. Of course, whether it is a hard truth that we need to be in Iraq for another hundred years, or a genuinely mistaken and tragic vision is not so clear. But you should be wary of someone offering rainbows and sunshine; America's challenges are tougher than that.
One thing about an Obama candidacy is that it should make for a more fascinating race against McCain, particularly if the Iraq question becomes ascendent again.
But, hell, even conservative Republicans don't like the guy!
