For over a year, Obama has offered a lot of sizzle. American expectations were absurdly high. I think his recent drop in the polls reflects the fact that the reality of an Obama Presidency can never measure up to the messianic presidency his supporters concocted.

IMO, many Americans tend to vote for the opposite of what they see as the last president’s greatest failure. With Clinton, it was a morality issue. Reps now have to be prepared to run on a reality based platform. They have to be able to say (figuratively): we will give you more than sizzle. We will give you steak. This is how we’re going to do it.

And for a reality based platform to work, they will have to drop support for creationism.

Well pass the A1 steak sauce.
