Obama's Strengths, Obama's Weaknesses

The map above reveals the parts of the continental US where Senator Obama enjoys his greatest advantage. Black voters go for Obama between 80% and 90% across the state primaries. In the long run, Obama's advantage over Clinton is greatest in cities and states where US blacks make up the highest percentage of voters. US blacks were slow to warm to Obama, but once the decision is made, it tends to stay made.

The well publicized videos of the Rev. Wright, ranting against and damning the US, will continue to have a damping effect on the enthusiasm of more educated, non-leftist US voters. But leftist oriented voters (universities) and black voters will maintain their loyalty to the junior Senator through almost anything, at this point.

Obama's religion--Black Liberation Theology--is seen most clearly by looking at his church's newsletters. They are full of conspiratorial ideas about "rich white society" in full attack mode against American blacks for the entire existence of the USA. Obama's church expresses anti-Jewish views and pro-Islamist views as well.

Until recently, Obama had seemed to be in control of the Democratic Party's nomination process. He seemed to be a shoe-in for the DP candidate. Now, things may be looking a bit different.

Upcoming primaries in several states present the possibility that Hillary Clinton can win the "popular vote" over all the primaries, while not achieving enough delegates to lock the nomination. When reaching the convention in the summer, if neither candidate has locked the nomination, the unbound super-delegates will determine who goes over the top.

If Obama had been honest throughout the primaries, he would have perhaps half or less of the delegates he currently has. Only after his huge Super Tuesday wins, did some of the truth about his concealed viewpoints begin to trickle out.

Obama's weakness is himself, and his close associates--including his wife. Except among US blacks and leftists. With US blacks and leftists, Obama is Obiwan-Obama, "He is the one."
