Worse than that is the fact that they'll actually believe it.
It is pretty much certain that there will be no run of great news the MSM can spin into Obama being the protector of the US Economy. That leaves them with “Bush left us such a mess we need 4 more years to fix it”...which doesn’t work as well 4 years later.
To me the key is that it won’t motivate THEIR supporters to go out and vote.
I think we are in for a complete turnout flipflop where Obama loses all the states he gained and then loses Wisconsin and maybe Iowa or New Hampshire much the same way McCain lost VA and NC.
They already do, I think.
Worse than that is the fact that they'll actually believe it.
...and don't forget "we didn't know how awful the mess was that we inherited from Bush." That still plays well with the parasite and looter class.
