The Democrats know why Obama has "lost his mojo". It's simple. He displayed the malady of his ignorance through the vessel of his elitist mouth and starting talking in specifics. That was first when he had to face the problem with Pastor Wright. That's when people in his own party started grimacing, rolling thier eyes and saying "oh brother, we've got a problem". Obama never truly recovered from that. When he was the candyman handing out rainbows and dreams with his whimsical high level notions of unity and change he was on a roll. Starting with Wright, the rainbows started fading, the dreams started becoming nightmares. Then, he started mixing it up with the Clintons. That's when he made new mistakes by getting specific about what he would do in terms of handling the economy, the war, and the energy costs. That's when the caterpillar shed his cocoon and the liberal inside crawled out, but without any wings. Call him a Progressive, an Idealist, a Visionary..., if that makes you happy, but putting a sticky note that reads "Unity and Change" on an old liberal playbook filled with divisiveness and stale ideas doesn't hide what it is. Then the scandals over his associates , his house, etc.., showed everyone that he was not "clean". He has his closet of scandals. Then his rambling stuttering nuancing answer of every question that was not prepared in advance with a text for him to refer to, showed that he is in fact "not" articulate when he needs to meet a challenge on his feet. Then announcing his idiotic notion that keeping tires properly inflated will save as much oil as drilling would produce..., showed in no uncertain terms that he is not "bright". Not Bright, Not Clean, Not Articulate. Biden was wrong when he labeled him with those adjectives. But listening to him rant..., listening to Obama ranting about McCain not having a quick response on the number of homes he owns.., is a sign that doom has come knocking on the door. Obama has become his own Anti-Obama. He is now the exact thing he claimed he wasn't. Above the fray, a new kind of politician that builds bridges and unites all parties. He sounded like Mrs. Clinton on one of her shrill out of control rants. But even Hillary sounded more sincere in her shrill rants than Obama does. He sounds desperate, and phony, and weak. And McCain has finally found the guts to take the fight to Obama. Yes, the Democrats have a very good reason to be worried. I don't believe that Obama's VP pick can save him from himself. Obama is far left of center. That is not where middle America is.
