Go Back to 1998 and read all the postings from anti-Bush freepers. Hell, I was one of them. Lots of "I will stay home or write in a name" claims were made. Lots of articles about Dubya's cocaine use. It really caused quite a rift. Jim Robinson himself had many harsh judgments of Bush.

Bluster and fluster 2 years out regarding viewpoints that are proclaimed to be "deal killers" won't matter a whole lot on election day 2008. When the Democrat party chooses a nominee the enemy will have a face. And a record. And a scary philosophy. Regardless of what we are saying now, most of us will coalesce with the Republican nominee. Given the choice between "sick" (weak republican) and "dead" (socialist dem), most freepers will choose "sick". A dead man has no hope.

But we have mountains of threats, hysterics, tantrums, and trashing in front of us before we reach that point. And it matters now because it will influence to some degree the nominee we choose. But it will not matter much once the nominee is named.

Excellent post.

Sad to say, but the long and the short of Election 2008 is that after eight years of a GOP controlled executive branch and legislative branch, it's the Democrats' election to lose. In order to have a chance, the GOP has to come up with a candidate who appeases red-meat conservatives AND doesn't garner as much hatred as GWB does from the left.

And it wouldn't hurt if the Dims nominated a moonbat like Hitlery or Dean, or an empty suit like Gore or Edwards.
