Exactly. To anyone who was paying attention, such as those on FR, it was obvious. We knew years ago what this guy was about and how he’d act.
Most people got caught up on the rhetoric and fake worship (all the fainting people at his rallies) and intentionally chose to overlook his shortcomings of which there were many.
He’s crashing and burning in probably the biggest drop in popularity in this history of the U.S. From all the hope to trying to figure out how to get him out of the process (and this coming from the left), I sincerely don’t think he’ll run in ‘12.
Interesting view. I tend to think he won't let it go easily.
Beyond that, I'm not sure it would make a difference. It's not like there's a Joe Manchin out there who could run against the Obummer record. Pelosi and Reid have kept their members whipped into supporting the Obummer agenda right down the line. The logical candidate would be Hillary, but she has been a loyal member of the administration and could hardly run against health care given what she proposed in her own campaign. Either way, the Dems are stuck with this albatross.
