Sure, Obama, now that he does not need to keep his base, needs to veer hard towards the fiscal right. Since I am now aware that we created that state, I guess we have to see it thru. Kinda like a love child, you really don't want it, but whattayougonnado? Burma is veering towards democracy, we need to support that so that other regions may follow suit.
Many knew who was going to win, prominent among them was Nate Silver who was mocked by Cons. http://www.examiner.com/article/the-far-left-turns-to-nate-silver-for-wisdom-on-the-polls
lol, even randomness has some tells. Take a chart, a hammer on rising volume is a good bet, especially if you have divergence on a momo oscillator. Take the election, an Obama win was a good bet. And do you know why? He was painted early as a one percenter, and there was no getting away from that. After Clinton gave that devastating DNC nomination speech, it was all over. They even knew it here on ET if you wish to dig up the threads on that day.
Same could said about many presidential elections.Bush would have lost both his elections with a smaller switch then that but if that makes you feel better more power to you
Incumbents winning 70 % of the time,no incumbent ever losing re election during a time of war,Obama having no primary challenger like Carter did,Obama having no third party spoiler like Bush 1 etc provided a bias Merc
