Barack Obama can win because he is the first African-American to take, by grace of his birth, a step away from the two sides of a deep divide--and the first who may now play the card--not of condemnation or damnation--but of seduction and--as he says over and over--of seduction.
Obtuse punctuation aside, what is it about BHL that can start with a captivating kernel of critic's insight and turn it into such a glaringly false polemic? Besides the final promise of a 'coming together,' what parallel does he find between the seduction and reconciliation that make them the proper synthesis in this logic? It seems abundantly clear that his only real goal is to insert a little sex into the play of politics--something that, frankly, we have no use for this particular time around the horn.
