You're absolutely right.
It took a vast army of committed droids to wring every possible vote out of the left in 2008, but this time around, Obama doesn't have the same drawing power to summon that army.
Oh, he'll have some boots on the ground for sure, but nothing like the all-pervading, near euphoric masses that helped him over the top the last time. Not even close.
The right, on the other hand, is nearly ready to burn down Washington, they're so mad and energized. Whole different dynamic at work this time, and if we nominate Sarah, we'll have a head lopping warrior leading the charge.
I'm telling, this election is going to be a thing of beauty. I can't wait to see hordes of lefties crying in the streets, and talking heads jumping off buildings. It's gonna be grand ;-)
