The Republican brand is down this year and doesn't look to be improving any time soon. Even though the majority of Americans don't want to shift to a European brand of Socialism, they may get it any way. As Star Parker Points out...
What also is happening is we are witnessing a phenomenon that, at least for the time being, is personal -- not ideological.
Obama is succeeding in tapping into the public's general disgust with everything and using his considerable charm and calm and reassuring persona to exploit it.
It's why he may succeed in flip-flopping all over the place and taking liberties with the details of stands he takes over time. Much of the enthusiasm he is generating is not being generated by those details. It is being generating by him.
Basically his empty rhetoric is paying off. People don't want to hear what's good for them this year, they want to hear happy thoughts. Guess what people, those happy thoughts will turn to misery as we slip further into socialism and an oppression through equality.
I already have the "Don't Blame Me I Voted For Obama" bumper sticker ready.
