The odds were very long this year for Republicans.
We had eight years of Dick Cheney running the country with his Halliburton
friends.
The war was started on false pretenses and too few troops were committed
to re-establish law and order. What could have been a two month war has
dragged on for five years.
The economy is not doing so well. We have a mini-stagflation happening
in this country. The economy is one thing that Dick Cheney is not responsible
for but the public always blames the government for the economy.
So, the odds were long indeed.
Then, the Democrats nominated Obama. Say what you will about the man,
but he defeated Hillary Clinton. The Clintons are old hands at this game,
but somehow Obama found a way to beat the Clintons. And due to Obama's
resume being what it is, attacking him is like attacking a column of smoke.
How can you attack his voting record when he votes Present on every
controversial issue?
But somehow, the polls are deadlocked once more. And, Sarah Palin is a
bona fide instant star. McCain and Palin will split up and cover a lot of
ground. Obama picked a running mate who nobody is excited about. Just
look at the poll.
So, it's essentially two Republican stars against one Democratic star with
polls deadlocked.
Can the most improbable of all upsets really truly happen? If it does, the
Democrats would have to lay the blame squarely on not picking Hillary as
Vice Presidential Nominee.
Cheers,
