Interesting thought. Even Obama didn’t seem confident near the end. I bet some assumed they could be cool and vote Obama and have the adults cancel out their stupidity. Then Obama won. And reality came crashing down on them. Only time will tell.
Sort of like tug of war, except our side "dropped" the rope (which might have been due to vote fraud on THEIR side) and it all went slack in their hands and they fell back on their behinds with a crash? Whoops.
