If Obama loses the Democrats will only have themselves to blame.
Every four years it is the same attitude which sinks them. IMO, this is more a problem with the party members than the candidate(s).
Painting the electorate as simplistic evil racist sheep is not a way to win an election.
Republicans manipulate and are cynical as well but they just do it better and don't betray themselves as much. I have come to the conclusion that the Dems are just really bad at the politics game.
Just look at the Charlie Gibson interview with Sarah Palin. Glaring at her over his glasses and oozing contempt, Gibson drew more attention to himself rather than to the sometimes shaky answers Palin was giving. Dems in general, their supporters and the liberal media just can't hide their condescension and disdain for their opposition.
Uhh, Gibson is our enemy.
