DEMOCRATS WILL BE FINE BY NOVEMBER (PROBABLY)
I think conservative reaction to the Kos story is overboard, but I also think the DNC candidate could be unelectable.
Obama is very damaged. In two days, he was caught in a lie over contrabutions from Tony Rezko and another lie about his knowledge of his spiritual advisor's racism and anti-Americanism. Rank and file Democrats will either stay home or vote Republican if Obama's the nominee.
If the DNC gives the nomination to Hillary, the African-American wing will defect, big time. Without 80 percent of that bloc, a Democrat cannot win.
The Democrats have played a really weak game of chess this year. Proportional delegate allocation and superdelegates make it almost impossible for good electoral politics to prevail.

A couple weeks ago, I asked CU's board of regents to explain how Mr. Churchill received tenure and a chair despite numerous warnings about his credentials and behavior. I didn't expect a response, but I got one, and quite a long one Here it is:
SUBJECT: Response Concerning Professor Churchill
FROM: Philip P. DiStefano, Interim Chancellor
SENDER: Pauline Hale, UCB Communications Executive Director
