it has struck me that no matter who is elected, they may be a one-termer due to the mess we're in.
It is funny,
how we arrive at the same conclusions, in our own way.
McCain will absolutely be a one termer, promise or not.
After 12 years of GOP, how can the Dems not win.
Also, they should do pretty good with the Congress with a GOP President.
If Obama wins, with this major cluster f*ck of a world economy, run away deficit, trade imbalance, etc.
And all the promise of change. All the bad shit will be laid at his feet.
Even though he will not be responsible for it.
Also the GOP will get pick ups in the congress.
None of this is fair.
After 8 years of Nixon/ Ford, even with watergate. The Dems only got 4 years with Carter. The turndown in the economy was not Carters fault.
But 8 years Nixon to 4 years Carter, back to 12 years Reagan/ Bush 1
that is 20 years GOP to 4 years Dem
If Hillary lost to McCain in 2008
Obama would have easliy won 2012 and had 8 good years.
If Hillary won, she would run in 2012 and lose.
Giving Obama a clean shot in 2016.
