The illogic here is striking.  Many, some shamefacedly, are calling  
for support
to the Obama campaign.  But absolutely nobody has, even  
parodistically, called
for support or even sympathy to McCain (although, on the important  
issue of
bioethanol Fidel agrees with McCain and opposes Obama).

But--for anyone hoping for as large an antiwar, pro-civil-liberties,  
pro-single-payer, antiZionist, vote against the two corporate parties  
as possible--Obama, the annointed of Wall Street, is indeed not the  
"main danger" but the *only* danger.  And those here expressing  
sympathy and worse for his campaign (a campaign to persuade blacks,  
young people, and the poor that he would be a progressive change from  
the twenty-year Bush/Clinton regime) only worsen (infinitesimally,  
given their lack of any public political standing) that danger.
