Why Obama won today

[PhilosopherKing]

He has truth on his side.

[tridim]

1. And he's ALWAYS the smartest guy in the room.

No matter what room he's in.

[Clio the Leo]

2. Yep and a BRAIN in his head...

.... I was about to say.

[Brother Buzz]

10. He's smart enough to acknowledge and learn from a smarter person in the room

Putting that knowledge to work is called leadership.

[FiveGoodMen]

3. We always have truth on our side

Why don't we always win?

[zbdent]

4. because the Repugs have the billionaires on their side

paying the PR firms ...

[TTUBatfan2008]

11. Eh...

both parties are bankrolled by some very wealthy, powerful interests. Wall Street owns both of them.

[zbdent]

12. may be true ... but how often do you hear a Dem come out and

pretty much demand the elimination of taxes on inherited wealth? You hear from the Repugs about the "Death Tax" (well, YOU don't get taxed if you die leaving millions+ of $$$ ... but heaven help your kids if they actually ever have to pay taxes on anything after the first 5 or so million dollars they inherit ... oops, another dollar in the pizza fund ...)

5. "I'd rather be happy than right any day."

Pretty much the guiding principle of what passes for most of humanity these days.

[grantcart]

6. exactly right

and he had facts to prove it

[babylonsister]

7. And brains. He's been so engrossed in everything having to do with

making this country better, hardly any rethug could match what's in his head. :D

[EmeraldCityGrl]

8. Repugs didn't see this coming...

If Obama continues like this, they're in big trouble in November.

[TTUBatfan2008]

9. That's part of it...

The other part is that the Republicans have gotten cocky. They've been listening to those "teleprompter" jokes too often. This isn't dimwit George W. Bush. They've caricatured the hell out of Obama but the truth is he is a strong debater and they underestimated his ability.
