I have to question how strong a President Obama will be after he already lost the Senate battle in Georgia on Tuesday. Obamamania seems to be subsiding as we get further from the election. His supporters did not turn out in Georgia as the run-off vote turned out to be a 16-point win by Saxby Chambliss. Obama seemed to know he did not have the muscle to take on this battle, but Sarah Palin jumped in feet first as she helped Chambliss retain his Senate seat.
I am sure that someone will say that Obama just decided he had more important things to do in preparation for his Presidency, but he would have to be brain-dead or afraid to actually lead if he did not want a filibuster proof Senate. I wonder if this means that the Democrats will ease off of trying to steal Minnesota.
May Obama’s Presidency be a short four years.
I share many of Mark Albertini’s sentiments on this race.
