Regardless of the outcome I predict that either Obama or McCain will only serve one term due to economic conditions or rather there failure to improve things . Obama energy policy has been shown already so its doom to fail if he takes office and gets his way . McCain would be unable to introduce new regulatory measures because his own core supporter base has become purely idealogical driven and would oppose such measures .
I think one further yet smaller nail in the coffin that not many people have payed attention to is the endorsement by Ron Paul for the Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin. The Constitution Party has a history of very conservative viewpoints on social issues and so forth so this may hurt McCain far more than Obama.
As a conservative, I am shamed when I look at the Bush43 legacy. I don't believe that a real conservative would have done most of those things. The days of small government are dead and gone, though I still believe in fiscal conservancy. I'm not happy about what has happened to my preferred political party. The GOP will be in the wilderness for some years before it recovers. If it recovers.
These are my final comments in this thread. I've been told that the Conspiracy master forums will be closed. This is my last post.
In practice if the Republicans are out of government for long enough a mixture of populism and the fact the US electorate slants to the right wing of politics will favour the Republican party. Of course the NZ electorate has left wing leanings contrary to that of the US which is out synch with much of the world in this regard.
BTW... Julian Oldman... Don White... Xpert... and everyone else here on the best, most intelligent and respectful AND longest thread I have ever seen here on ATN... it has been a pleasure and a privilege to participate on it with you.
. . we saw Tuesday the emergence of a new ruling collation here in America. We saw a marginalized and disgruntled blue collar middle class join forces with African Americans, Latinos and other ethnic minorities, as well as a considerable youth vote to elect Mr. Obama.
