There's so much creamy, delicious goodness in this article from the UK's Telegraph about the Obama campaign's arrogance that it's hard to pick an excerpt, but here's a taste:

The Democratic strategist told The Sunday Telegraph: "They think they know best. They don't return calls. There are governors and senators calling them up with ideas. They don't get back to them.

"These are senior people from the border states and the South who know how to beat Republicans, and they're being ignored. They ignored everyone during the primaries and they came through it, so they think they can do the same again."

Mr Obama has never won an electoral contest against a strong Republican candidate. David Axelrod, his chief strategist has been hailed as a political genius for beating the Clinton machine, but Democrats now point out that he has never run a successful campaign in the heartland states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Virginia, which will decide the election. His expertise is in mobilising young, educated and black voters in urban areas.

Mark Cunningham of the New York Post summed up the private views of many: "If it suddenly seems like the Obama campaign doesn't have any idea what it's doing, maybe that's because it doesn't."

Having never read anything by Cunningham, I'm not sure what his political leanings are, though the Post is generally regarded as right-leaning, but most of the people mentioned in the article (with the exceptions of Peggy "Bullshit" Noonan and some GOP strategist) are generally the kinds of foax you'd imagine are already in the tank for Obama. And they seem to think that his campaign is flailing. They're afraid.  Like that unnamed Dem strategist, who says, "These guys are on the verge of blowing the greatest gimme in the history of American politics."  Mmmmmmm...that's tasty right there.

There's still a lot of time before November, and things could change dramatically between now and then, but being a Republican hasn't been this fun since, well, late 2004.  And if things do pan out for Palin and Whatshisname, won't it be awesome to see some of the following from the Kos Kiddies?

Ouch.  It'll be hard for them to do "compassionate head-tilts" without, you know, heads.
