Blue states aren't 100% blue. Turnout is everything.
Do you think that knowing there is an illegal candidate on the Democrat ticket might motivate non-Democrat voters a little?
HRC will castrate BHO before the 2012 primaries. She will not subordinate herself to be his VP candidate.
I am betting that POTUS 2012 will be a woman.
“And people in blue states wouldn’t recognize that as an admission that he is not eligible?”
For many — I daresay MOST — of those people, piddling “Constitutional requirements” to be president mean nothing. The only thing that is important is that he will take from the evil rich Euro guys (like you?) and “give them things”.
We are at a point where about 47% of Americans pay no income taxes at all — I will be presumptuous and assume that the lion’s share of these folks are getting some kind of “bennies” instead. When one is on the receiving end of the teat, it is in one’s best interests (or so most think) to _keep that milk and honey coming_.
The “blue folks” (more and more, this is becoming “the non-Euro folks”) are going to vote for whoever supports the things they need and desire, your “Constitutional qualifications” be damned. And it’s become clear over the last fifteen years or so, that America has developed a “Great Divide” — that is to say, “the things THEY need and desire” are diametrically opposed to the things that YOU “need and desire”.
I don’t know what the implications might be if Obama chooses to ignore those states that put elibility requirements on their ballots. I only predicted that this is how the ‘rats will deal with the problem.
What happens afterward will be anyone’s guess. Of course, the “mainstream media” will try to keep it as “unreported as possible”.
Do you really think that such a scenario will change the votes of most current “Obama supporters”?
