“Bush was not on the ballot in 2008. Your sister is an idiot.”
She was aware of that. The point of the anecdote is that like many “Bush is an idiot” folks she voted for the Dem candidate and against the Republican candidate as a reaction to 8 years of Bush. Was it stupid? Yes. Did it happen enough times nationally to put the incompetent currently in office in charge? Absolutely. Will it happen again to drive him from office in November? Hope so. I think that is what the author is intimating.
This will go back to 2004. Kerry won Rat states, Bush won Republican states. It is now back to Ohio. Difference is Romney has a better chance of picking off Obama states than Obama has of picking off Romney states.
Will it be enough?
