There's always the hope that all the incompetent Democrats are busy trying to nominate Hillary.

I chuckle at the idea that in about six months we may all be shaking our heads and mumbling, "We shoulda went with Clinton."

"We" is the incorrect word; however, if Obama gets beaten, that WILL be the conventional wisdom, right or wrong, and it's going to seriously hurt the party and the nation in the near term.

If Obama manages to get beaten then anything that hurts the party is going to be like beating a dead horse.

I present the following spicy blend of optimism and cynicism:

If Obama doesn't win, it will be because he is not alive.

I dunno. I personally predict a McCain victory myself. I predicted it about 2 years ago actually, but I still stand by it.

In the event of a McCain victory, I look forward to finally meeting all of you in the internment camps.

Oh, things can get a LOT worse for the Democrats than simply losing the White House in November.

EDIT:

This is already a party whose conventional wisdom is that the only way to win is to become Republicans.  That perception is cracking, and if Obama wins, it will crack quite a bit more (though it's premature to say it'll shatter, especially with today's headlines featuring his adoption of the manufactured "Social Security crisis").  If Obama loses, then 2012 will produce a candidate to the right of Clinton, and 2016 is likely to do the same.  In the meantime, while the Dems may keep their Congressional majority, they will become even more useless than they've been for the past two years.

America will deserve whoever it elects.

Yeah, I'm about sick of hearing that.  To suggest that the entire country deserves to suffer because a slim plurality picked a greater-evil candidate in a rigged electoral system...well, you know better than that and are clearly engaging in hyperbole, but I still find it a pretty obnoxious statement.

Right, I'm saying that if Dems can manage to lose this election, there's really nothing stopping their downward spiral to oblivion.

...so yeah better fasten your seatbelt.

Well, potayto-potahto, then, but the "things that hurt the party" are sort of part of that downward spiral.

You're right.  The rest of the world should vote on the American president.

I'm not being facetious; they'd probably do a better job.

The people of the other nations deserve the government they get, more often than not - Either by being idiotic, or by being idiotic.
