We took their best shot which was this incredibly bizarre right-wing Christian VEEP selection. I give it to the McCain campaign, compared to the Obama text message Veep hype, they really did surprise everyone. Who would have thought that any party would nominate such an unqualified person to be one heartbeat away from a man who already looks half dead.
The polls if you have noticed have tightened up a bit, but Obama still leads in both the Rasmussen and Gallup trackers and after McCain's depressing speech last night does anyone really think Senator Obama will not prevail?
PALIN
Once the novelty of this strange bunch from Alaska wears off, the numbers will reflect what will become a solidifying reality: Americans have turned against conservatism. Ofcourse, the wingnuts in their faith-based reality will decide that it was because they ran a fake conservative John McCain and not a real one that they lost in 08. We all know that Conservatism (an infallible ideology) NEVER EVER fails, it is weak men (and women) who fail it. In 2012 you will see the Wasilla Wonder running for President. At the moment the rich wingnuts are tolerating Palin, but in 2012 it will be wonderful to see what Mitt Romney has to say about Palin. He will throw everything at her--the little babies, the Alaska corruption, the brutal struggle through journalism school (5 colleges in six years), the lack of a passport until after becoming governor in her forties. Remember that Mittens for all his Mormonism and readiness to bend over for the right-wing was one of the 08 Republicans in that debate last year who DID believe in evolution. All of this will make both the Neo-Con and Supply Side wings of the GOP involved in a brutal civil war.
2012 will see perhaps the long predicted break up of the GOP big tent--Christianists, Neocons, Supply-siders. It will be vicious. Look for Romney, Palin, Huckabee, Cantor, Jindal, Sanford, Allen to all join in the fun.
In the meantime, President Obama will be presiding over a booming economy, and a restored American image around the world. He will also use his communication skills to begin to educate the American public about what progressive/liberal governance can accomplish. The emerging Democratic majority is just around the corner....now go out and work you asses off to make it happen!!!!!!!
Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States!
