Let's assume that the Republicans implode, the independents come out en masse, the Tea party promotes more loser candidates that keep right wingers home, the voter ID laws fail to keep the poor and elderly from coming to the polls and a miracle happens-- Obama wins a second term.
Will he become more liberal or move further to the right?
Will he dance even more with corporatists and banksters or will he show a new side and give justification to the liberals and Democrats who pray that after his last election, he'll finally show that he really is a lefty?
I've been inspired to ask this question because of Obama's newest shift to the right, putting social security cuts on the table. Last year he put retaining the Bush Tax cuts for the rich on the table and we know where that got us.
It is not too late to primary Obama. My pick to replace him is Elizabeth Warren. So far it looks like he's going to throw her to the wolves and not appoint her to the job she wants. If she ran, she'd shine like a super-nova and the lack of voter awareness about her now would fade quickly.
I'm still a registered Democrat, but I criticize them more than wax enthusiastic about most of them. I assume the kool-aid drinkers will vote that Obama will move to the left. I think that's a liberal wet-dream fantasy that is not going to happen.
