The bloom is coming off the rose
I’ve never been a David Letterman fan — his humor and mine have few points of intersection. Nevertheless, I think he (and his writers) hit the nail on the head with the Top 10 list of signs Obama is becoming over-confident. As you watch this, don’t just listen to the jokes. Pay attention to the audience laughter as well. It’s telling.

I found this video at Hot Air, where it was part of a larger post about Obama’s declining poll numbers. The very first comment to the post, a funny one, is that “Somewhere in Chappaqua, New York, the lid is slowly pushed away from the coffin,…”
I’ve wondered, too, if Obama’s peaking too soon will lead to Hillary’s being nominated in Denver. The Democrats are in a cleft stick, though. Right now, women and rational people are PO’d at the party for going with Obama. However, if those super-delegates jettison Obama for Hillary, the Democrats will lose the African-American vote, and the nutroot vote. And say what you will about the nutroots, they are energized. They are the vibrant, living side of the Democratic party. It’s an interesting conundrum for the Dems.
