IF obama loses in Nov, my god, the various sects of the democrat party will tear each other to shreds.

Already you have moderate dems switching parties, criticizing how far the party has lurched to the Left, which is causing untold damage.

Please look up the exit poll for people who voted for Walker AND who will vote for Obama in Nov.

Dems lost in Wisconsin b/c Obama stayed out of it.

LOL! They were going to lose as they had no relevent reason for a recall. BO wisely avoided further disgrace that would have come had he campaigned and the inevitable loss came anyway.

I think Obama himself said that he was a blank screen. Sometime around Dec 07/Jan 08 I saw something by David Friedman (Milton's son) expressing guarded optimism about how Obama would turn out. Nobody really knew exactly where he stood. Was he a traditional far-lefty a la George McGovern? Or a lefty evolved to centrist a la Clinton? Or a lefty who could go centrist when forced by political reality, but who would revert back left when the coast was clear? Or just a guy who was no longer concerned about ideology, only about power?

Now in 2012, Pres Obama is still as much of an enigma as he was in 2007. His foreign policy especially has surprised me; it's just the W Bush policy with small tweaks.

Unfortunately for you, the polls dont at all say that..

In fact the polls said that Walker would lose, and Obama will win..

1 wrong, so why again should we expect the other one to magically be correct?

Obama is the leader of the democrat party, which has lurched so far left we now are seeing a far reaching repudiation of their ideas and policies.

I remember the pundits claiming after the 2008 elections that liberalism/democrats would rule for the next 30 years.

But once the American people got a load of exactly what these progressives led by obama were really up to, that "transformation" got stopped in it's tracks with the 2009, 2010 and 2012 elections.

Article from Aug 2011..but boy, does it apply even more today.

Conservative should thank obama/liberals for bringing them back in from the wilderness..due to their policies, ideas and behavior that is so out of touch with the vast majority of Americans.

Just think in a few months you can vote President Obama out of office and then that will be the end of your continual whining on the issue...unless...

Obama stayed out of it because it was known that it was a losing battle and Obama didn't want saddled with that.

Scopro was right earlier though. Romney will win, he will continued the long held practice of doing stupid things as president giving life back to the left.
