But if you had a choice between one of them and some unranked guy who showed up on the practice field looking for a shot who would you place odds on? It does, in fact, make perfect sense.
Not really. It's a total crap shoot.

Obama comes from the Chicago, one of the most corrupt and "backscratch" political environments in the country. And he rose *very* fast. The odds that he managed to do that without owing a whole batch of very very corrupt people is somewhere just barely above zero.
I love it when you talk Chicago politics. Look, just save us some time and say "Someone on the radio said this was true" because we all know you personally don't know jack about Chicago politics beyond what you gleaned from Untouchables re-runs.

We're talking about Obama vs McCain. One of them has a longstanding record as a very straight guy politically and ethically.
Obama? Yes.
Quote:
The other has a short record filled mostly with constantly changing opinions, different stories depending on who he's talking to, a record that seems designed most to please a short list of very liberal and very powerful political groups, and a list of political connections that should make anyone cringe.
Changes on campaign finance, immigration, energy policy, foreign policy, torture, tax cuts and abortion? Running to either the center or the right depending on his audience that day? Connections to the Wylys, Ralph Reed, Charles Keating and G. Gordon Liddy?
You're obviously talking about McCain, right?
Obviously
