It has been going back and forth for many decades now like this. I believe the left will lose seats in 2010 and Obama will be a one term president PROVIDED we do our part. The tea parties must continue and we must have a STRONG leader that can unite both ultra-conservatives and lukewarm republicans. HE needs to be an ultra-conservative at his core. HE needs to be dedicated to our causes and we need to give him majorities in both houses so that he has the power to see our will done once and for all. We need a platform that unites us as well. The McCain platform was weak and not a unifying one just as he was. Newt Gingritch organized a republican revolution using the mid-terms and disenchantment with Clinton to gain a strong majority. We have plenty of time to organize and to maneuver and we need to stay positive and focused while being ever aware of any tactical mistakes on their part e.g. obama getting caught with a cigar. If such an opportunity arises, we need to pounce. For what it’s worth, I believe Newt Gingritch may actually be a good choice for us btw.
