Colorado is a sign that Obama has plenty of work to do, especially with his base, not a sign that he’ll lose.
Compromising with the tea party has been shown not only to be a complete waste of time, but a political loser as well. As predicted, when you try to make nice with political extremists, you just hit your head against the wall - or worse.
It’s about time that Obama, the press, and the rest of the country wake up to the political and economic stupidity of letting one third of the country run the other two thirds. And I think that’s exactly what’s happening. Thank you, Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann (and especially thank you, the GOP audience, at these debates) for putting that in such stark relief.
