Obama As The Softest Landing

Poulos makes his case:

...we are going to get a Democratic president very soon now, and the longer we take getting one, the more brutal a change it's going to be. And we're all kidding ourselves if we think the GOP can stretch this reign out for another twelve-odd years. The numbers just don't have it. [...]

Obama is going to be the softest landing out of power that the Republicans are likely to get in the next 50 years. To blow this opportunity is to invite a world of hurt down the road. Yes, he's a very liberal dude. But he's not going to rub anyone's face in the road-appled dirt...

Good enough to put him over the top for conservatives? Against John McCain? It's hard for me to swallow despite the nice yard I've just spooled out for you. But it's hard to deny that any other matchup headed down the pike will be any easier to choke down. And believe me: in the future, it'll be force-fed.
