I was told by older people that Carter acted in the same manner during the 1980 campaign; he was told months before that he was going to inevitably lose, but he put on a brave face and tried to help the others “down the ticket” from him.
I don’t know why people are so confident Obama can win; how many closed businesses, open businesses with no clients, houses for sale, etc. would it take for him to lose? There is every indication that he will lose based on the elections since his own, and those numbers don’t lie. They are facts.
Until Obama is gone I am not convinced. We are not the same nation as we were in 1980 and Obama garners racial solidarity in a way that is beyond disgusting.
