You keep saying it but that don't make your point. Sure, the base and
the young, first time voters, they were important, not essential to
O's victory. They will vote for him again. In larger numbers this go
round. O needs to keep white men and women, keep the latino vote up.
He'll get the black vote. The key is white men and white women. He
should do well with the females again, but the white men won't and
don't abide this OWS movement. The Christian vote won't matter as
much, as once again, it's the stupid economy that will motivate
voters. And, we should never discount O's skill as a speaker and
motivator; he will move people to vote for him.

The Reps have no chance. Karl Rove is dead in the water.

To keep the white males and motivate them, and white women, O needs to
play it cool. Barry Cool is not something Rove can shake. It's deeper
and wider than you suspect.

The kids will be OK; the OWS folk will come to terms with the reality
of the current world. They will be poorer, but others, far away, will
live better for it.

The banks will still bank, the politicians will still see thier souls
to the PACs and lobbies, the wars will go on and one, but things wiull
settle down and Maxwell's Deamon will do his "work"
