But I trust that he will, if elected, get grounded pretty quickly by the complex problems facing him. And his young followers will get a good civics lesson. Yes, I think the first year of Deval Patrick's governorship provides a foretaste of an Obama presidency. It hasn't been pretty. People, all their demographics, want political change. And for very real and grounded reasons. All demographics of liberal Democrats want political change. This caps out to about 30% of voters. That base is plenty to supply Hillary and Obama's rallies. Don't drink your own kool-aid here. I mean, what exactly is it that a Republican can run on in this race? Where are the bragging points? 1. Preventing a repeat of 9/11 2. Confronting global Islamic jihad instead of pretending it doesn't exist or it's a tiny problem that the courts can handle. 3. Projecting new American strength and determination to replace Clintonian fecklessness. Destroying Osama bin Laden's "paper tiger" argument. 4. By fighting Al Qaeda, giving Al Qaeda the chance to show the Muslim world how barbaric it is, shredding its popularity. 5. Making a huge difference in USAID to Africa. Clinton talked, Bush acted. 5. Cutting taxes and promoting an economy that for most of the last 8 years was better than under Clinton (check the numbers) and for McCain personally 6. His own commitment to small government and no earmarks, and his determination to return the Republican party to acting like Republicans, after years of spending like Democrats.
