I just don’t see Obama winning. I can easily see McCain faced with an overwhelming opposition Democrat majority in both houses, though.
If these dopes wanted to get re-elected they should stop spending like drunken sailors and bring up oil drilling on ANWAR and OffShore every day.
Same here.
“I just don’t see Obama winning. I can easily see McCain faced with an overwhelming opposition Democrat majority in both houses, though”
And that alone is better than either alternative:
1. “I can easily see Hillary welcomed by an overwhelming and approving Democrat majority in both houses”
or...
2. “I can easily see Obama welcomed by an overwhelming and approving Democrat majority in both houses”
......the latter being the worse. NO Democrat would DARE oppose the policies and initiatives of the “first black president”.
I would much, MUCH prefer McCain - no matter how he is detested here - in a 4-year (or at least 2-year) stalemate with Congress in which next to nothing gets done. In this case, the government that will govern best is a divided government which will “govern least”.
That will give us four years to rebuild - IF rebuilding is even possible at this point. It’s been discussed here before, but the electoral demographics of the nation have changed irrevocably in the years since Reagan. They continue to change, and in 20-25 years will be as different from now as today is from Reagan’s time.
We have seen whole states “tip” to being one-party states, with no effective opposition possible any longer. So many non-Europeans have been admitted to America since 1965 - not only illegally but LEGALLY as well - that the traditions of conservatism, long rooted in the sensibilities of ethno-Europeans, is now diluted and in many places all-but-disappearing.
I daresay - and expect to be flamed for saying - that John McCain may actually be the most _conservative_ Republican to win presidential office for many years to come, assuming Republicans are able to continue to win that office.
