The country is turning conservative. I should say the likely voters are turning conservative.
In 2008, we tried something new and supposedly Liberal: Obama.
The young people, and others who never voted before came out of the woodworks to vote. They wanted change. They wanted Bush out.
In 2016, there will not be so many voters wanting change, but there will be many who want Obama out. They will be looking to go back to a middle ground of what used to be, is what we want.
What they will want is a white male as president.
A woman as president just will not be acceptable to the likely voters. They may accept a woman as VP, but that's pretty iffy. Too much controversy in having a woman.
So we need to find an -- as Liberal as possible -- white male, who the teabagger types will say they can live with. Or we will have a republican as president.
Unfortunately, but history shows, we are a country that takes two steps forward and then one or more back, on our political way.
The young will not be turning out to vote like they did in 2008, and the new 2008 voters are saying: "What? Me vote? After that mess from 2008? No way, jack. Leave me alone."
But as always, it has been the Liberal base, that, if active, carries elections, or by not being active, gives elections away. So, to keep us enthused, we need to find a Liberal white male, one we can live with, to become our next president.
