I was surprised to read this line until I saw it was the LA Times. Obummer will be destroyed by a real Conservative. McLame spent the whole campaign being Obummer lite. That was a disaster. As for the WH wishing for more Tea Party like candidates, what are they smoking? The TP handed Obummer his ass in the '10 midterms. They will destroy him in '12.
They can’t and won’t see that. They still believe the moderates are behind 0.. for them to recognize the Nov 2010 elections would destroy their world.
