My opinion on Obama or the doubters aside, this is more damaging to conservatives than it is to liberal. If they succeed, the conservatives look like they stole the election. If a case is heard and finds for Obama, they look like they are wasting the courts time and trying to steal the election. If it is ignored, as it has been, then they look like conspiracy theorist. If a Republican for congress wants to win in '10 or '12, they have to appeal to the constituents and avoid bad national press. If a Republican wants to win the POTUS in '12, I don't really know. I think, the best the GOP can hope for is a strong candidate in '12 that will help win or keep seats in congress. But it will be rough for the GOP. The economy will be better. We'll be out of Iraq, if it ends up good Obama gets the credit, if it turns into civil war, Bush gets the blame because people feel we shouldn't have been there in the first place. More entitlements will also mean more support for Dems, because once people get them they won't want to give them up (even if they were against it at inception). And that's just considering bad luck, imagine if Obama has good luck or is a good president... |
Right, but to be fair, it's not mainstream Republicans throwing a fit either. It's the outer fringe who are lost in the fantasy that they can prevent his inauguration.
If anyone knows this it's the Dems... they pulled this type of crap when Al Gore got his teeth kicked in when he ran. And at the end of the day, they looked like sore losers. Therefore, it should be a lesson to all Republicans:
Accept the results and move on and start planning for 2012. It will be here faster than you know... if you get drug away kicking and screaming, the next 4 years will drag on real slowly.
