Comments on: Fernandez Clarifies – As Do His Readers http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/5969.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

He did not perform all that well against Hillary Clinton, either as a campaigner or in the debates ( as opposed to his electoral strategy which was brilliant and precise). What's amazing is that given Bush's low approval ratings that Obama isn't ahead by 25 %.The 44 -41 % lead that he holds represents a fractional edge and the issues that will dominate the general election have yet to be raised. This is not a whole lot unlike 1960 where the young, handsome and charismatic JFK, who like Obama had little of substance to bring to the table, only squeaked by with one of the slimmest margins in American history. If Obama chokes in a national debate with McCain a la Mike Dukakis - and these will be probably the most watched debates in the history of planet Earth - he will lose the election.
