"We are on the brink of an Electoral College blowout, and there is a possibility for huge Democratic gains in the Senate, which means Barack Obama could be the most powerful president we've seen since George W. Bush in the years immediately following 9-11, or Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964," Mr. Harris said. "That shows how starkly the premises of national politics have changed."
This has to be the most absurd statement I've read thus far in this presidential campaign. Foreseeing "an Electoral College blowout" in favor of Obama is way beyond optimistic for the Democratic Party. The Liberal Messiah might have the edge right now, but I believe it's still a very fluid election. A major event or crisis could tip the balance either way in the next three weeks. If Wall Street were to right itself somewhat and the economy stabilizes a bit, it would be bad news for Obama. He needs a gloomy forecast to capitalize on the fears of the American people; it's what his campaign is built on.
And to prophecize that should he win, Obama would be "the most powerful president we've seen" since Lyndon Johnson or George W. Bush makes me want to roll in the floor with side-splitting laughter. Are you kidding?? If he were to win (God help us), he would lead a fractured nation not unlike after the 2000 election. The result may not be as close, but there will be plenty of animosity against him and his policies. A landslide would be a mandate; Obama won't have such a luxary, I promise.
I for one am not ready to concede the election to Obama, much less give him a landslide victory.
