We're Unworthy

Donna Brazile says that if The One doesn't win, it will be because we didn't deserve him:

"He has had some moments where he seems unsure of his own voice," Brazile said, "but I still think he can pull this off."

And if he doesn't?

"If he doesn't, then Obama didn't lose," she said. "The country just wasn't ready."

Well, she's right, in a way. And we should be thankful that we haven't deteriorated as a nation to the point at which we were.

I'd put it a little differently, though. It won't be Obama losing so much as the nation winning.
