I’ve been practically rubbing my hands with malicious glee over some of the revelations about Barack Hussein Obama. Why am I so delighted? Because just the little bit that has already been revealed is enough to sink his campaign a 100 times over. Even better, such facts will not discourage the Democrats from making him their candidate. In fact, in their Bizarro World brains it might even encourage it.
Then reality sinks in. Recent history has shown that a terrifying percentage of the electorate is dumber than a Los Angeles jury. Total unelectability is no impediment to getting elected. The election of 1996 proved that. Only months before he won a second term the pundits and talking heads were debating whether Clinton was relevant after the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress. His polls were in the tank and he was routinely described as unelectable. Instead, the country was blighted with 4 more years of the reprobate.
I no longer make predictions. Up till 1996 I had a perfect record. Starting in 1968 as a second-grader I successfully predicted the outcome of every election, including Clinton’s first victory. I based the latter on the sad realization that a whole generation of voters had no recollection of Jimmy Carter and “malaise”. Ah, but predicting 1996 wasn’t even a strain. It simply was outside the realm of possibility for Clinton to get a second term. Yet he did.
That is why I would encourage you not to get complacent. We still live in that Bizarro World that produces two-term Clintons. We must be because the only two candidates that I believed had the slightest business in the White House are already gone, leaving only liberals and liberal wannabes for the most part. I fear this is going to be another “lesser of two evils” election. Yet again, instead of getting to vote for, we’ll be voting against.
