I disagree...99%...
You know damn well there are partisans on both sides that have aleardy lit their torches and grabbed their pitchforks if the "other candidate" gets elected....
Hillary will come with her own card carrying enemies...so will McCain...
I don't see why Obama would be any different...A bit more personal than the others?...Yes (hence, the 1%)...
But it's still expected...
You know Ron Paulites will hate whoever gets in...You know Militia-types will hate whoever gets in...You know Kucinichites will hate whoever gets in...Wright has that right, too...
Stupid and/or absurd...sure...
But that comment that "the office of president should come pre-saddled with it's own personal Al Sharpton"?...EVERY president has had their version in the last 50 years...And if it wasn't race, it was something else...
