Obama's Two Step Strategy to Defeat Palin and Why It is Doomed to Fail

Ad hominems are liberal arguments.

All I posted are a bunch of facts about The Won. Can he be beaten? I said as much in my post.

Will he be beaten? Most critically he and his have already started to work the 2012 vote in precincts locally...you can bet on it.

Most Americans would rather not have to be pre-occupied with politics. They have a life to live. For the Democrats, there is nothing else BUT politics in life. And they practice politics as a bar fight-not as a dispute over country club rules.

It really depends upon how badly Flyoiver COuntry decides they want freedom

The first component of this strategy is his so-called move to the center, by which he hopes to replicate Bill Clinton's victory of 1996. There are obviously many distinctions between 1996 and 2012, but both Clinton faced and Obama is facing a GOP controlled House, after an historic repudiation of his policies. However, Clinton's signature accomplishment--Hillarycare--went down in flames, so he was free to face down the GOP, which had a general notions of cutting government but no coherent plan to do so and certainly no concrete program to aim at. Obama, on the other hand, jammed through his signature accomplishment, ObamaCare, in spite of its wild unpopularity, and he and his allies in the Senate will have to oppose repeal. Indeed, in 2012, the GOP is almost certain to make even bigger gains in the Senate and to take control, which means that Obama's veto pen would be the only obstacle to repeal. Having thus succeeded with this and much of his statist agenda, Obama is not free to move to the center as Clinton did. He must stand athwart history, veto pen in hand, yelling at the GOP in Congress, "Stop!" Thus the policy atmospherics of 2012 are distinctly different than those of 1996.

You demonstrate a sharp contrast between 2012 and 1996.

Great analysis, which is something one doesn't get from the profesionals.

Compare your analysis to what a beady eyed, highly paid, establishment, "smart" guy thinks.

Obama's the new comeback kid: Post-election, he's made a record-setting sprint to the center

Thanks, FR. When it comes to Krauthammer, I cannot tell whether he really is slow on the uptake or whether he is just doing the bidding of his masters at the Washington Com-post. I do know this. For every worthy article he posts, there is another that has disinformation in it. Krauthammer is the classic sophist. He mixes truth with falsehood. I have criticized him and will continue to do so. I think many conservatives are waking up to the fact that he is not one of us, which is a positive thing.

I love how the Establishment punditry are always trying to fight the last war. They fail to see the changed circumstances. What I really like about Palin is that she does perceive changed circumstances and she acts upon them in really creative and innovative ways. She is light years ahead of these so-called “smart guys”. The Establishment is, and always has been, dead from the neck up.

May Obama and Meechelle live a very long and very close life together into their late 90s -
and beyond!

I could never figure out why Slick Willie, John Kerry, and 0pansy would resort to picking such lovely good-natured beauties and sell themselves out as bound-slaves for a lifetime

You cannot walk through a Target, Macy’s, or a WalMart store or most any mall without seeing one or more pleasant and pretty women -

I guess Clinton, Kerry, and 0pansy just put an extremely low price on their lives and futures -
