Neighbors' Obama bumper stickers fill Kristol with 'moroseness'Muriel Kane
Published: Monday July 28, 2008

With presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama riding high after a triumphant nine-day trip to the Middle East and Europe, and John McCain reduced to photo ops in cheese aisles and sausage restaurants, conservative pundits are consoling themselves with the thought that in politics, nothing is certain.

In a New York Times op-ed, Neocon William Kristol appears depressed by the current assumption that Obama has the election in the bag -- but what seems to annoy him most are the "got hope?" bumper stickers adorning even expensive cars in his Washington suburban neighborhood.

"I relapsed into moroseness," Kristol complains, wondering "Are my own neighbors’ lives so bleak that they place their hopes in Barack Obama?" ... "Do they really believe their fellow citizens who happen to prefer McCain are hopeless?"
