This may come as a shock to some of the readership but this headline gives us nothing new or different in comparison to the 2008 elections.
I have written many times, here on Midknight Review, this reminder: Obama spent 3/4 of a billion dollars to win an election by just 7% of the popular vote . . . . . . and he was a novelty . . . . . . . and his politics were a huge unknown . . . . . . and debt due to his policies has doubled . . . . . . . . and John McCain was despised by four to eight million non-voting conservatives. Add to this the fact that the very unpopular John McCain spent only 370 million and lost the election by just 7% . . . . . . . and that was before the TEA party movement . . . . . . . and before the GOP majority in the House of Representatives . . . . . and before the move of 682 legislators from the Democrat column into the GOP side of the ledger . . . . . . and the loss of 30% of the Independent vote . . . . and before the tyrannical rule of the 111th congress. . . . . . . and before mounting corruption investigations become the order of the day.
Of course Obama can win, but it will have much less to do with money than other forces and circumstances.
