Look, this is real simple.
A Republican ticket with something, is going to beat empty rhetoric every time.
No matter how much the media and the dems try to hide the sins of candidates, people will find out, and realize that there is an attempt to cover up.
The dems try and run candidates who pretend to be what the republicans really are.
Do I need to remind you of the Kerry “Can I get me a hunting license heyah?” incident? I bet Palin knows where to get a hunting license, and I’m sure we’ll have a photo op with Obama in hunting camouflage showing how he is just the ‘everyday’ guy. Meanwhile he’s worrying about the price of Arugula.
This is why the dems have lost the last 2 elections and why they’ll lose the next one.
The dems are offering the left most 2 candidates available. Do you think that is where America is at?
Normally, moderates and non-far-right republicans have to put up with candidates that lean to the right of where they are. Now the far right is having to lean to the left of where they are and the centrists are leaning right to McCain.
Obama is too far left for the centrists to lean to and there is no-one to the left of them to lean to the right. Therefore, there is a small base of support for Obama, and a major piece of support comes from dumbos that vote for Obama for no reason other than he’s for change and they see him on the news along (thanks to a helpful media, what was it, 7 times on the cover of Time magazine this year? McCain 2?).
These people can be swayed the other way with a good narrative and lots of media exposure.
I often think the the Dems were deliberately throwing the last 2 and the current election so that they can continually play the injured under dog, claim the Right stole the election, blame the republican president for everything and still get the benefits of being somewhat in power without having any responsibility and having to be a grown up.
