You’re wrong and apparently have not been following events closely enough to understand just how radical Obama is.

“You need to understand that Washington needs a total reboot. That’s why you’re seeing conservatives go after liberal Republicans like Scozzafava. I think now’s the time to get out there and draw a sharp conservative contrast rather than promising to run liberalism better than liberals.”
It doesn’t matter whether you or I believe that Washington needs a total reboot. Of course it does. What matters is that we deal with the world as it is and not the way we would like it to be. What matters is optimizing the end result and focusing on real events in the world and what the actual probable outcomes might be.
