I know that political rallies are pep fests. I just don't like the religious revival feel to the Obama events. They talk like they are on a righteous mission of good versus evil, but actually they just want to get somebody elected.
Obama says that he will fight special interests, he's down on lobbyists. I really doubt that he will attempt to do anything significant in this area. Campaign Finance Reform, the real solution, seems dead in the water because of First Amendment concerns.
It seems to me that Ralph Nader is the one on the scene that is talking realistically about fighting corporate control of the government. The major parties are not in a position to reform themselves. I'm not anti-corporate, corporations should be able to lobby government, they are an important part of society. But Nader is the one speaking truth to power, as they say.
Obama may very well beat Clinton in California on Tuesday. If he does, the Obama triumph will be all but inevitable. I think the Clintons lost the election in South Carolina.
