John,

(from the old world sideline) ;-)
>Whatever. If my posts equate to a smear that works, then I pity the brainpower of the people who are swayed. It's not a smear to point out this guy is a whole lot of unknown and, possibly, a Manchurian Candidate. Although, frankly, I doubt the MC aspect I do think he's an ultraliberal who's now trying really, really hard to be electable by the moderate-to-center-right American people.

to be honest, I had expected "Manchurian Candidate" to be targeted at McCain if running against Hil as an unofficial rumour publicly ridiculed by Hil herself just because of his former POW status.

Is calling Obama the Manchurian Candidate a preemptive counter-measure or what am I missing from US perspective ?

slightly baffled
