My Last Word On It... I Think
It was only four years ago that I harped on what was so wrong about the Dems in these elections and what was so right about the Republicans… Ahnuld having the titanic BALLS to go on stage and be a proud Nixon Republican. They made the affirmative argument, however wrong it was. That is what people want. The Republicans have been making noting but excuses for months now. And Obama makes, for the most part, the positive argument. And that’s why he will win, in spite of a strong Republican base and what I believe to be a 5% racist-won’t-vote-for-a-black-man. In the end, Obama is about hope… and McCain is about fear. Hope wins.

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again...

You'd have thought that it wouldn't have taken losing 2000 and losing 2004 before somebody realized that sort of thing works, since that's exactly what worked in 1992.
I think, too often, people get caught up in "electability" and pull the lever for the uninspiring yet experienced candidate. And then said uninspiring candidate fails to put together an inspiring campaign and the whole thing just fails.
It happens to both parties, too. McCain (as he's been in 2008, at least), Dole and George H.W. Bush are prime examples on the Right. Mondale, Kerry and Gore (how he ran in 2000, at least) are recent examples on the Left.

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
The difference between winning and losing? The losers will be disappointed tomorrow night. The winners will be disappointed later. When, we don't know. But eventually they will be. It's in the nature of the beast. Everyone's disappointed eventually. Hope is made to be dashed, and Obama knows this well even if his supporters don't. Many of McCain's supporters, if not McCain himself, seem to want their fears realized. They do not want them dashed, but fulfilled. One must live with fear, but one must never live in fear. The Republican party lost sight of this distinction long ago, and will not find themselves again until they remember it anew. Perhaps the best thing for them will be to see Obama in power for four years and find their fear disappointed. Then perhaps they will be able to let go of it.
