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.
I didn’t say he’d let go easily. More like “forced” out. The last thing the Dems want is for him to get whipped in the election. His narcissism may come through in ways unheard of in the history of the U.S. through a “created” crisis only HE can fix or some other method.
Regardless, I don’t think we’ll see him at the top of the Dem ticket in ‘12.
Just my opinion.
