” Instead, it turns out that Obama “misunderestimated” the American people, who are calling instead for the jackboot of government to be lifted off of our necks. “ <<<
We hope you are right and that the Tea Party focuses on the singular theme that rocketed them to political power, that being the fiscal overeach that uncovered turns out to include outright corruption. If this same theme can remain the leading issue and the sole banner of the TP then even democrats will join us. However, I am afraid democrats will want to be for Romney. Dare I whisper that? Rick Perry will have to appeal to the Hispanic voters and at some point to the eastern Republicans to offset the mutiny ready democrats who are done with Obama. Congressional democrats looked like deer in headlights on Sunday talk shows. If they can’t get Obama to go away so they can beg Hillary to run, they may put her up at the convention. Then, all bets are off. Whaduhya think?
I don’t think there will be a serious proposal at the convention to put up Hillary. I don’t think she would do it, and I don’t think they want to risk estrangement from the black population that has been so loyal to the Democrats since the 1960s.
At most there could be some “young Turk” who wants to make a national name for himself by running against Obama, but I don’t expect this to happen, either. I think we are watching the sinking of the Titanic (the Obama administration and the Democrats’ prospects for 2012). It’s big and slow, but it is irreversible. Check mate.
Of course, this is only a prediction, so is worth absolutely nothing.
