I never presume I’m smarter than the electorate as a whole. The US people spoke. The trick is in understanding why the vote went the way it did. I chalk it up to freak historical economical events combined with a Rep. party that picked a career beurocrat over a leader. Think about the choice...a newcomer (who really has no history of anything) vs more of the same. C’mon, who, in their right mind, would wish for more of the same? I voted for McCain but I did so reluctantly. That’s not a winning strategy.
“...combined with a Rep. party that picked a career beurocrat over a leader.”
Like in 1006 when they picked Bob Dole, because it was “his turn.”
I would think tonight proved the fallacy of your statement. The vast majority of the country gets confused deciding between small fries and large fries. 349 to 158. I rest my case.
