Obama Wins: But Do US Voters Believe He's 24's "David Palmer"?

Does America believe its getting 24's "President David Palmer"?Obama was last night finally able to declare himself the "the Democratic nominee for President of the United States". So he's won. Well, kind of 'won'.  Unless he screws up and manages to lose big time by losing many of his 'super-delegate'. I venture to suggest that it's not beyond him.

Personally, I suspect many among the US public are under the romantic illusion America is getting a Dennis Haysbert-style 'President David Palmer' 'from the TV series '24'. Sadly, but for reasons they may ultimately dislike, they probably are. Remember (as anyone who actually watched - and enjoyed - '24' as I did ) how "David Palmer" made serious judgment error after serious judgment error (however 'nice' he was) by trusting all (with the exception of Jack Bauer) the wrong people? This included his wife, his brother and his key assistants. 'Palmer's' judgment was, in reality, actually shockingly poor (for dramatic affect, which is why he got into so many appalling scrapes). 

But back to the future. Obama's win seems to signal that even many Democrats have had enough of the Clinton style of morality. It will now be refreshing to get to know the Obama style. You know, pro-abortion on demand, the imbibed beliefs from 20 years of the evil ranting of an anti-semite, pro-Islamist radical mentoring nutjob (who Obama failed to perceive was evil). Then there's the 'lovely' wife who has "never been proud of my country" until her husband stood for office in it. Not to mention the alarming capacity for revealing he is clueless on foreign policy. Still there's a long way to go before he can bring his 'maturity' to the role of the highest political office on the globe. And he has yet to defeat that other leading (less leftwing) 'Democrat', John McCain.

Just like the UK, it seems the US elections now are all being fought by candidates who, in truth, are by worldview varying degrees of liberals. Who speaks now for a USA and UK public with far more conservative views (on illegal immigration, capital punishment et al)?

Truth is, it's a myth that people don't vote at elections because they are not interested in politics. It is because there is barely anyone who actually speaks on their behalf anymore. Whatever happened to the representation of the people?
