This reminds me of the October, 1917 Revolution in Russia.
A hardcore well organized left with a dynamic leader, Lenin.
that utterely destroyed its other leftwing opponents, the Mensheviks
A demoralized population tired of war
A weak government, Kerensky,
Hardcore left today-leader Obama,
The defeated left-Clinton
Demoralized population-tired of Iraq war-high gas prices,
A weak government, Bush and possibly a weak opponent-McCain. I say weak-there are 3 weeks to go and McCain may surprise us.
When you compare here and now with 1917 Russia, don’t forget that Russia didn’t go Communist without a Civil War.
