Here is your problem. You are super liberal (as i could be considered conservative) - However, like Kane, you don't admit how biased you are and are not realistic about it. If I had told you Bush JR would have been re-elected, you'd be making similar remarks with a similar tone of arrogance and certainty.
The mob is fickle. That's always been true. No one cares about partisan politics when they vote if there are issues like a failing economy, high gas prices, floundering Dollar and so on - issues that they feel and that affect them daily - just as wanting a strong leader (or one that was perceived as such in the wake of terrorist attacks) got Bush re-elected.
I don't personally care if Obama is re-elected or not. I don't personally believe it matters who is President and I don't personally care what direction this country takes because I will just pack my bags and leave.
I also don't delude myself into thinking that i'm right about everything and everyone that had a different perspective or world view is wrong. I understand that anything can happen and that the outcome of the next presidential election is anything but certain.
Every candidate looks like an idiot when you devote your time to believing they are an idiot. If I had to guess, Obama will not easily be elected simply because he can't run around chanting vague and ambiguous "feel good" slogans like hope and change anymore to rile the mob. He also won't be able to blame Bush as even Dems are tired of that.
To be honest, I watch the news so little these days, I have no real idea who the Republican candidates even are. They are all just 2 sides of the same coin and the real problems this nation faces such as lawmakers being bought and paid for by corporations, tort reform etc etc are the last things anyone could expect to change.
