Barack Obama Can't Win in November

I love almost everything Joe Wilson wrote in his piece entitled "Battle Tested" for the Baltimore Sun. (Some of you hopefully remember Joe as the husband of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson.)
It is completely nutso to me that any Democrat in his/her right mind doesn't realize Barack Obama is not only not qualified to lead the country, but not even qualified to put up a good fight in the general election. He's completely unproven. Except where it's been proven he can't stand up to Republicans. (When McCain accused Obama of being "disingenuous," Obama replied, "The fact that you have now questioned my sincerity and my desire to put aside politics for the public interest is regrettable but does not in any way diminish my deep respect for you." Dude, that sorta pussy talk is not going to win debates. And it certainly doesn't demonstrate the brass balls required to be President of the United States of America.)
Let's be crystal clear about on thing: You can forget about what the polls say. They will all change if Obama becomes the Democratic nominee because the GOP smear machine will immediately begin cranking at full speed. They will tear him to shreds. If Obama is the nominee, I would think there's about a 30% chance he'll win the general election. (Not a math wiz? That's a 70% chance of basically a third term for George Bush's disasterous, illegal dictatorship.)
