will he get there against the odds

Obama, Biden (and (Laden?).
I think McCain, although being on the "wrong" side, will win. Maybe Obama won't even make it to the elections.
Obama is against the odds in American history, perhaps Hillary would have also faced the dame daunting odds.
I'm npot really that gullible to believe the press push for Obama. Fuuny about that!
At the end of the day, I don't think it will make much different to the final outcome of the fall of the American empire.
