I think the conventional wisdom, that the Democrats have a major advantage going into this presidential race, is nonsense. It's as nonsensical and fantastical as the "mandate" they got out of the last election. It was par for course on the six-year itch. Voters will be less likely to entertain a "throw the bums out" approach to the presidential election, and will do more research on the candidates. What will they find? They'll find that Obama is an empty suit that talks pretty, and they'll shrink from electing him. They'll find that Hillary is passe, harpyish, and unlikeable. A strong Republican candidate, and we have a few, would bury either of these two without media help. And with media help, they'll still win by a comfortable margin.
