Greeley's column seems like a bizarre liberal application of the
Bush doctrine: Pre-emptive excuse-making for another Democratic
defeat. If Obama loses in November, it will have nothing to do with
the fact that Democrats nominated a 46-year-old with no executive
experience who was unknown outside Illinois until 2004. No, it's
those bigots in barrooms who'll be blamed -- The Archie Bunker
Nation triumphant.
