… in a year which, based on historical precedent, the White House should go to the Democrats …
Pam, I’m not sure which historical precedents hold in this case. Seems as valid as anything to go by the precedent set the last time a far-left candidate ran against a (nominally) conservative one, where the (Republican) incumbent had been attacked throughout his administration by a vindictive and mendacious mainstream media, and where the Democrat was declared the “clear front-runner” by that same fawning media early on: 1984. If that precedent holds, Obama and those who blindly supported him will be publicly humiliated.
This HopeAndChangely Obamaphoria is all great fun and games until someone loses an eye. And it seems like the adults among the Democrats are slowly beginning to realize this on two levels.
First, the more real public exposure Obama receives – as opposed to transparently scripted exposure he’s enjoyed to date – the more his ineptitude and unsuitability for the office is made apparent. It has to be obvious to any thinking Democrat that – even from a purely partisan standpoint – support for such a flawed candidate is just plain recklessness.
Second, responsible Democrats whose character transcends partisan considerations are just finally – thanks in large part to pressure from New Media – getting a glimpse of what an Obama presidency will look like, and what it will mean for America domestically and globally with someone like him at the country’s helm: we’ll be lucky if we only lose the national equivalent of an eye.
Imagine where we’d be today if the MSM were forced to ask real questions about Rezko, Ayers, Wright, Odinga and all the rest – the way they were finally forced to address the Edwards fiasco…
