Third party takeover?
From Bob Krumm, a dire warning: Never in my lifetime have I seen the nation as ripe for a third-party takeover as it is now. But if President Obama and the Democratic Congress further propel the economy down a rat hole, the party that emerges might not be the kind we want. There would be just enough truth in the charge for a demagogue to portray the shambles as the fault of those who took sub-prime mortgages they knowingly couldn't afford and the bankers who greedily lent them the money. In other words, minorities and Jews. This could become very ugly, very quickly.Yes, it could. The right third party, though, might be just the ticket. OTOH, it might be another Ross Perot debacle, guaranteeing little more than the reelection of Barack Obama (who has an automatic lock on a large segment of the electorate, no matter how unpopular he is with the rest). Were I him, I'd be thinking about a longterm strategy of divide-and-conquer. posted by Eric on 03.09.09 at 03:19 PM |

Divide and conquer is already his short term strategy, and as far as we know, nearly his ONLY strategy.
The bad news for his supporters, and the good news for the rest of us is that this lad is in need of some major dosing of vitamins...or something?
He has the energy level of a teenager, and a teen by today's standards. He sprinted to his current position as President, and now he is nearly worn out.
Lack of experience didn't do him in, but maybe that combined with his low energy level will.
