"It's clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely could not take place if I remain in the race.... What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-earth campaign — the kind of campaign that has turned off so many voters, the kind of politics I refuse to play."

Even though Obama is clean as a whistle and has been running an ideal campaign - great ideas, positive message, no mudslinging - they're going to blame him, and his campaign, for Ryan's implosion.

Mark my words: in a couple of months, the RW talking points on Obama will be "You know, you can't trust him, pretends to be on the up-and-up, yet goes all dirty and sleazy against his opponent! Unsealed custody records! It doesn't get any lower than that! Back to you, Brit."

3. What if?

What if it was Obama who had taken an ex-wife to sex clubs. An African-American instead of an All-American JFK-Jr looking White Man.

Believe me, you think this is ugly - repukes would have made it 120% times even worse!!

I think Obama would have won on his own merits even if Jack Ryan wasn't running.
