#1 We heard the OODA loop here first, folks!

#2 "The most amazing aspect of the OODA loop is that the losing side rarely understands what happened."

And that is exactly what we are seeing here. Sen. Obama counted on owning the media so that any "minor" gaffes he made would be overlooked, and his opposition would be nullified by the lack of relevant coverage.

Now it's all blown up in his face over a person with substance and character, and he has no clue why. Nor do I think his dupes, the MSM, do either.

#3 The idea that they have no idea what's happening squares well with this piece from The Telegraph. But there's still time for The One to turn to a sane strategist in his desperation, keep your fingers crossed that everyone around is as arrogant as they appear to be.

Ordinarily I'd agree, Cat. Obambi might be trying to turn to the Clintons right now...but who do you think are the ones who set the scuttling charges?

The wonderful effects of the OODA loop aside, we're not out of the woods yet - those lovely folks at ACORN are at it again.

#6 I don't think the Clintons will help him at all but he doesn't need them to win this election. He just needs to get back on message, drop the Chicago politics, and restore his Captain Hope & Change persona. There's time enough for him to do that, all it would require is dropping Axelrod for, well, pretty much anyone else not of the radical far urban left.

#7 He's angered too many and John hasn't unloaded his terrorist ties and Annenburg challenge - ACORN - just keep bringing up phantom voters.........
