The rational blogsphere ...

... seems to be saying that Obama's main selling point is that "he isn't McCain."
But he is a control freak and it's suggested we may end up liking him about as much as we do Reid and Pelosi. And that he will care what we think about as much as George Bush and his cabal do.

And that he is sidelining progressive organization:
The independents-folks like MoveOn, ActBlue, the netroots, etc... are being cut out or marginalized, whether they realize it or not (and I know that some don't.) Obama doesn't feel he really needed them (sorry MoveOn), and he isn't planning on giving them any real say or power.
Can't say I'm excited about Democrats. And I loath Republicans after the last eight years.

The real test, should he get elected, is what Obama really thinks about running the country; administratively, legislatively and judicially, as per the Constitution. Since his inclusiveness only extends to Republicans (and not those of his on party) how do we know what else he says is a sham.

Not looking forward to this and if (should I say when) Obama is undemocratically selected to be the 'Democratic' nominee, I'll probably do no more than vote.

Definitely any money I give from now own will be to those progressive organizations which Obama seems to disdain (a la Bush).
