While the Republicans have plenty to choose from to “Willie Hortonize” Obama, don’t be mislead in thinking this election won’t be about issues or policies. While Obama has largely recieved a “free-pass” in that regard, in his run-up to the Democratic nomination, that won’t be the case in the general. He will have to get specific (or at least, MUCH more than he has) and he will come across NOT as the second coming of Bill Clinton, but as the second coming of Jimmy Carter (who you conveniently decided not to include in this “analogy” article).

We could be looking at 1980, not 1988 or 1992!
