re: #108 DeafDog

As I mentione in #93, if Obama/Clinton continue the Bush policy, their base will deflate - since it will be an immediate admission that Bush’s aggresiveness has merit. Obama has big domestic policy plans, and maintaining that political base is important. He may not do what you expect.

Obama/Clinton have a big decision looming.

Obama can afford to have his base “deflate” right at the start of his term. I find that “origressives” generally have short memories. Obama will do things in years 3/4 that will thrill the base all over again!
