Democrats can expect to get trounced, it's that simple
It never fails to astonish me how incredibly naive and ultimately imbecilic the democratic party is when it comes to selecting a presidential nominee. As if the selection of Al Gore, and the absolutely atrocious selection of Joe Lieberman as vice president over the far superior Bill Bradley wasn't enough; the democrats in 2004 made another gaffe selecting haughty and outright unappealing John Kerry over candidates with almost universal appeal like Wesley Clarke (with extreme military credibility) and Dick Gephardt (with southern credentials). But this year takes the cake, instead of relying upon genuine policy change initiatives, the democrats nominate two rockstars within the party with very little appeal to most simpletons in this country (and intellectuals for that matter), interpreting change as the color of the epidermis and one's genitalia. After months the field has been widdled down to the two MOST UNELECTABLE candidates at the onset. The democrats were handed a mandate, they had many qualified candidates with the presidency firmly in their grasp including Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, and Chris Dodd, now the presidency is little more than a mirage in the desert. It seems this election has degraded into little more than a political version of American Idol, where issues have become iniquities and appeal is based on manipulation, and identity. The selection of Barack Obama as the nominee plays right into the republicans hands; they couldn't pick a more unappealing candidate themselves, a minority with no military experience, a former hard drug user, being advised by Zbigniew Brezinski, with huge credibility problems, making elitist remarks, belonging to a controversial church, not to mention the Rezko connection, this is the REPUBLICAN WET DREAM. To bad the young voters won't vote come election time like they never do. Meanwhile the republicans picked the optimal choice not selecting a niche candidate like a Mormon or an evangelical and appealing to moderates, independents and yes even liberals. Democrats can expect to get trounced this November this isn't a prediction its a fact. Eventually one just has to ask do the democrats just not care about winning the White House anymore?

I met Bill Bradley in the 2nd battery elevator of the Essex House, a hotel/residential establishment, in New York City. He was a funny and interesting drunk. He was with his wife and stood at least 14 feet taller than myself. He went on and on about the carnation that was in the wall sconce on the elevator. (a habit of over-priced hotels, apparently) The flower was beautiful and elegant and his breath wreaked of dark liquors, like scotch. But he liked my Tie. [/dadudemon-style anectdote]

Ha! This thread is awesome. I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Started with a provacative (yet true) post and just kept reading until mayhem ensued.
So if Obama takes it in '08, which he has a very good chance of doing, since McCain is cutting his own throat by butt****ing his Conservative base, what will you say?
