Pressing, the more I think about this the more I think he never really had them.
LIBERALS thought they had won the idology battle when Obama got elected but this election tells us something very different.
What Obama benifited from was the firing of republicans.
NOT the abandoning of center-right idology.
America fired repbulicans for the war, for over spending and finally for the bad economy.
But Democrats thought that meant America wanted to move to the hard left. That simply wasnt the case.
America wanted to be rid of bad republicans who were spending and driving up the debt. Americans didnt have any other choice than to vote in democrats.
Alan Grayson is the classic example. he is the "obama" of the House if you will.
That dude won because the republicans fired their guy in that district. This term he got creamed because those peope in that district hired the guy they wanted. this new guy had best do what they want him to do.
The Republicans need to understand that we want certain things and if they dont give them to us we will fire them again. but if they do what we want, it could spell doom for liberalism in American politics for another generation.
