This year the R's have McCain/Palin and a fairly inept campaign strategy. My conspiracy theory is that they are expecting Obama to win and go all Carter on us so that the "REAL" conservatives can bring out their new Reagan to put us back on the "right" path. I have no freaking clue who they'd be grooming behind the scenes though unless it is someone like Gingrich.

My thoughts too, Lookout. The Republicans do not want to win this one. Hell, well-known republicans are now backing Obama, a democrat. Whens the last time that happened? I don't remember the Clinton/Bush election, did Clinton get these kind of endorsements? It does feel like a 'conspiracy'... or at least a grand play. And Yes, Obama has been the 'set-up' for a while. I sensed this pretty early on and thats why I didn't back him in the primaries. I liked Edwards. But after his massive 'fail', I wondered about his role in all this.
OK, I've probably shown a lot of ignorance with this rambling, but these are thoughts that crossed my mind.
