Seems like the worst thing that could happen to the country right now is for Obama to give up on the election and start doing God-knows-what on his way out....not just popping off the "R" keys on all the keyboards.

If Obama starts becoming a drag on the socialist agenda, or looks like he might lose in a historic landslide, he will be shunted aside very suddenly. You watch. They've done it before, even after a candidate had won his primary they've made a last minute substitution. Like pulling a hitter off the on-deck circle just as he is ready to step into the batter's box.

But, wouldn’t it be racist to pull Obama out of the election like that????? How can the historic first black president be pulled out like that? Don’t the liberals have a vested interest in seeing this first black president be re-elected?????/

The telltale sign will be how many Dem incumbents want Obama to campaign with them and how many want to link themselves to his policies. So far, it appears many Dems are distancing themselves from Obama. Mancin even indicated that he might not vote for him. Is Obama an albatross for Dems or a talisman that will guarantee reelection. We will see.
