What hasn’t been said, is personally I think McCain was only just slightly right of BO, but that the folks throughout this country then elected a Senate and House of Representatives that put total control behind this Marxist.
But hey, that’s just my opinion
“...McCain was only just slightly right of BO”
Some years the Republican party might benefit by providing free nose-friendly clothes pins to improve their get-out-the-vote efforts.
“...folks throughout this country then elected a Senate and House of Representatives that put total control behind this Marxist.”
Markets fluctuate. Elections are the market place of ideas. In my opinion, most who invested in the Obama brand did so for reasons other than the promotion of the socialism to which he’s since condemned us. But the current value of the Republican brand is low because its corporate executives were proven unworthy stewards of prior public investment.
The market this time around favored unknown possibilities over familiar incompetence. The downside of that bet was not taken seriously enough. I detect a shift in investor confidence and, for now, expect another right-ward correction on 2010.
