I still think a one-term pledge could win it for him, because it would allow America to punt. It would make the 2008 choice seem less fateful. People don't mind the chance to defer a choice when they're not at all sure about the product. It would give bitter Democrats a chance to regroup, and it would give those who like Obama but consider him a little half-baked to vote against him guiltlessly while he becomes fully baked.

The absolutely last thing in the world we want is for the Messiah to become "fully baked" and come at us then. This is our great opportunity to destroy a really dangerous Marxist while utterly disrupting the DemonRat party, and we should take it. Peggy's thought may start out almost fully baked, but they get distinctly less baked the farther they go.
What? I ask you to produce one thing she's written that gives you that idea.
