- The "audacity of dope"? In his memoir Dreams From My Father, Barack Obama admits having smoked marijuana during high school, but newly released excerpts from David Maraniss' upcoming biography Barack Obama: The Story paint a picture of a truly committed pothead.

Yeah, I bet he is. I'd imagine Obama is fun to hang out with period. He's smart and is definitely quick on his toes. I get the impression that he could talk as easily about Early American literature as he could Major League Baseball or Economic theory. Pretty well rounded dude. You think he's gonna win this thing?

I think so. Incumbents always have a bit of an advantage. I also think him coming out of the closest so to speak could really bring out the numbers on the day. You?

It's funny, I would tend to agree with you but I think it's going to be a really tight race. Romney catches a lot of guff for being a "weak" candidate but I don't see it that way. He's definitely not as conservative as the GOP base would like, but hell.. they'd vote for a pile of poop before they'd vote for Obama. I think Romney has the potential to grab the moderates in key swing states. If I were Obama I would be pissed that ANYONE else from the GOP pool didn't get the nod. IMO Romney is Obama's worst matchup.
Still, I think Obama will win because people like him, not his policies... but him. It will be a close one though.
