Never underestimate America’s total insanity.
Not surprised for a few reasons.
1) More and more people are dependent on goverment benefits. Just last month more people went on disability (which now includes drug addiction, being fat and alcoholism)than actually got jobs. They are Obama voters.
2) The government has grown drastically since 2008 (especially since 2010) governent workers do NOT vote themselves a pay cut or to be unemployed. Obama has their vote.
3) Some republicans still see this as a race between a republican vs democrat OR a liberal vs conservative and whatever damage Obama does in 8 years can easily be reversed and we will again be on top again when Sara Palin or some other real conservative comes in in 2016 or 2020 or 2024. They still see this as "politics" and Obama's just a typical democrat liberal. Obama sees this as him vs America (as we know it). Obama does not have these people but neither does his opposition.
I don's see Obama conceding anytime in the next 4 years... maybe not even after that.
