The most important question about Barack Obama: if he wasn't half-black, if he was white, and his name was Arnold Richardson, would Obama have got anywhere near the Democrat nomination for the Presidency?
If you watch his speeches and public appearances, you would have to say this is a very ordinary man. Not exciting, not knowledgeable, not impressive. If he was white, we would all probably be saying, Good Grief, that Arnold Richardson is one dull candidate. So if the only thing you really have going for you is an identity-politics one, are you going to stay the course? Are you going to be able to front up to a real deal guy like Mr McCain and persuade everybody you have the right stuff?
