'years of lightning, day of drums': the epitaph of obama's political career
nov 2nd, 2010
fair to say he will be a one-term, lame-duck president here on out?
i don't know if it's racism or fury at being bamboozled by a pied piper, but anyway obama has united a lot of americans in one sentiment: they do not like him.
bill clinton did say that hillary will be a candidate -- diplomatically to avoid the impression that obama is a 1-termer -- in 2016. she'll be, what, 80? then?
inferno, are you sure of that data? here's the economist's chart on midterms. war presidents if i remember correctly: johnson (lost), bush sr (lost), bush jr (won).

Will this electoral debacle lead to a new round of fratricidal blood-letting among Democrats?
