When one surveys the political landscape, at this point in time, I think it may prove to be a bad time to be a Democrat in the White House. I have a feeling, that whomever wins in November, will be facing a term defined on the world stage, and not the domestic one. Should this prove to be true, and Obama wins, it would be my guess he's looking at a one term presidency, that will be eeriely reminiscent of the unlamented Jimmy Carter.
There will be no resurrection of the "Golden Age of Camelot". The time for such, is long past. Though there may be a fleeting glimpse of such an ill-remembered idyllic time, events will soon erase the fervent dream. And the promised spiritual transformation of American politics will become just another empty slogan (for reference, read what the dems said before the '06 elections, and what they actually did, afterwards.)
One thing I will give Slick Willy credit for is that during his 8 years, despite his personal peccidillos, he was a pragmatic politico. And while Obama has shown he knows how to play the game, I think he'll be so caught up in his own hype, he'll squander his opportunity.
