I've posited a similar theory, except my thought was that Obama has now realized that he's in far, far "above his pay grade", and is living in a nightmare something like that Bill Murray movie, where he wakes up every day, and lives the same day, over and over again.
His loss will set the Democrat party back 20 years. :)
I was just telling a friend that same thing last night. It's entirely conceivable that McCain's win will set up Palin for two terms, then a possible two terms for her VP.
The Democrat party is now in an even bigger fight than the election. That is the fight between the nouveau hard-left, who have taken the helm of the party, and the old guard Democrats.
The MoveOn, Soros left is taking their party over a cliff, and the old guard now has to excise them from the party to steer back to the center, if they ever want to win another presidential election.
The Dems are going the way of the Whigs
