Batman & Rush vs. ‘the Flake’

I’ve seen a couple of unusual but yet plausible theories recently on why Obama will lose and McCain will win. Few are daring to make that call.

J.R. Dunn at American Thinker advances the theory that Obama is doomed to defeat because he’s a “flake.” You need to read it all to get it.

It's time to throw my hat in the ring as regards predicting the election results. So here it is: Barack Obama will be defeated. Seriously and convincingly defeated. Not due to racism, not due to the forces of reaction, not even due to Karl Rove sending out mind rays over the national cable system. He will lose for one reason above all, one that has been overlooked in any analysis that I've yet seen. Barack Obama will lose because he is a flake.

I'm using the term in its generally accepted sense. A flake is not only a screwup, but someone who truly excels in making bizarre errors and creating incredibly convoluted disasters. A flake is a "fool with energy", as the Russian proverb puts it. ("A fool is a terrible thing to have around, but a fool with energy is a nightmare".)

Barack Obama is a flake, and the American people have begun to see it.

And Jeffrey Lord at American Spectator has another defeat theory that’s a bit offbeat, but also may prove true. Call it the Batman-Rush Theory.

OK. I'll walk out on a limb.

This election has already been decided. It's over. The winner is John McCain.

How, you are asking, could anybody be so utterly stupid to say such a thing in August? What about the polls showing Obama ahead? Haven't I heard about Obama-mania? The conventions haven't even been held!

Well, since you asked, I'll tell you.
