Two prominent Democratic has-beens suggested Thursday that Barack Obama abandon his attempt to win a second term and turn everything over to the nanny, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“He should abandon his candidacy for re-election in favor of a clear alternative, one capable not only of saving the Democratic Party,” write Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas Schoen in the Wall Street Journal, “but more important, of governing effectively and in a way that preserves the most important of the president’s accomplishments. He should step aside for the one candidate who would become, by acclamation, the nominee of the Democratic Party.”
Democrats couldn’t decide by acclamation to go to the bathroom. We always get this narrative at this point in the presidential election cycle. We’re close to the end of the cafeteria line, and they’re out of roast beef and nobody’s happy about what’s left, the chicken and dumplings (mostly dough and not much chicken).
So, it’s time to peddle the story that this time there’s no Snow White, only the dwarfs. Newt’s gift for harsh bloviation appeals to the ruffian who lurks deep in the American soul. When he calls the chairman of the Federal Reserve “corrupt,” scorns Barack Obama as the “food stamp president” and says if we start putting people in jail we should “start with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd,” thousands cheer.
But here’s what will happen. The Republicans will nominate a candidate (the betting here is that it will be Mitt Romney, boring and bland notwithstanding). The Democrats and Mr. Obama will proceed with their best shot, a campaign of unrelenting class warfare. Both sides will get behind their man, as they always do. Next Nov. 7, we’ll wake up stuffed with all that sirloin and with a newly elected president.

I like onyx’ bumper sticker idea:
NEWTer the Whitehouse in 2012! *you betcha*
I was making a comment about the article
that Newt will be the one to beat Obama.
Well said!
Newt's a warhorse for sure- exactly what we need.
I think you’re confusing me with someone else.
That was a compliment!
You’re my kind of Newt supporter, Cobra!
Speaking of bumper stickers, I put my tagline on Facebook months ago. I was surprised how many people were “offended”. Oh well.......
LOL!
GREAT TAG!!!

Why continue with the ruse? Better screen name?
If I was in a swing state that could decide the presidency (Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Mexico, etc.), I'd probably crawl over broken glass to vote for whoever the GOP nominates against Obama, even if it was Romney or Huntsman.
However, I'm in "Obama's home state" (Illinois). We know the national GOP won't even try to win my state, and the IL GOP is a joke. If the GOP nominates a turd like Gingrich, I might as well vote for someone decent like a Constitution Party nominee, as a protest vote. It won't affect the outcome of the election. Last time around I only voted for McCain because Palin was on the ticket. But if the ticket was Gingrich-Cain, I don't think I'd vote for the turd just because Herman agrees to run with him.
