Or they might realize that the Democrats still aren't offering much up in terms of attractive policy other than we are not the Republicans.

Of course the Democrats should win but if they don't I am not sure it will be because Americans are "too stupid", as much as it makes you feel like a big person to think so.

The US is on the wrong track. I can't even begin where to start backing that statement up. They NEED a new approach, something refreshing and captivating. Enter Barrack Obama...Quite possibly the best born natural leader to run for President since JFK.
I hear this BS about natural born leader or great leader being associated with JFK all the time and am curious how it came about?

Is it because he was killed so people ignore the many, many faults he had as a leader, president and person?

Is that the was only in office for a shorter period of times so his inadequacies were too few compared to those Presidents that lasted full terms?

Or is it, and this is personally what I feel, that he was a young, good looking, personable guy that looks good in the old photos and videos and kind of had a Hollywood-esque appeal about him that we ignore his policies, record etc. and just focus on the "coolness" of him cheating on his wife with a movie star while putting the whole world in more danger of a nuclear attack and alienating much of the world?
