Reply #11: If the next election is about whether USA is racist instead of Republican failure [View All]

we lose and the Republicans have dodged a total asskicking by Clinton or Edwards. Obama will be ineffective in the electoral college, struggling to hold mid atlantic states and being noncompetitive in all the southern states except perhaps Virginia(and I doubt he can win there either). Obama brings no additional states to the table. Most of the Republicans I know were resigned to Hillary winning(many secretly want the Clinton years back). They sure have a new spring in their step with possibility of facing a black guy from Illinois with a thin resume and a very unfortunate name.
