So election day has passed, which means an end to the hilarious ad campaign between Jon Corzine and Chris Christie. HATE WASTE SPEND FAIL DEBT POOR LOSS CORZINE vs CHRIS CHRISTIE THROWING HIS WEIGHT AROUND (Christie is rather overweight) Stay classy Jersey!

I think Obama will lose in 2012. Just a hunch. You heard it here first. In terms of the conditions he’s inheriting, he has some things in common with Bush The First. My political email buddy agrees that it is certainly a possibility because people would rather be screwed over than a GOPist than deal with a Dem trying to (but ultimately unable) to break the system.

I agreed with him for a minute, but this goes back to my post on the general wussiness of Democrats. If Obama were to lose in 2012 it would be his own damn fault. I am no fan of most of the initiatives he campaigned on, but given that the Dems have a majority, there is no excuse for their general pussy footing failure. Obama simply isn’t decisive enough. He over polls (shades of early Bill Clinton style) His party is in power, and while bi-partisanship is a nice idea (and working together) seriously, fuck that noise, stand up for your pet issue, and PUSH IT THROUGH.

Then again, the main reason I thought Obama would be better than McCain was on foreign policy and he looks like he’s going to totally fail on that one too.
