2. The latest meme, mostly from the right, is that he'll be another Carter
It's something I'm afraid is true, although for very different reasons than the tone deaf fools on the right are braying.

He strikes me as someone who will go into office really trying to please both parties. He will please no one. I don't think he's nearly as nice a guy as Carter was, though, and he might have far fewer daggers in his back before he realizes what's going on. However, he does present the danger of a one term presidency that will effectively be labeled by the far right as a failure, another weakling Democratic administration.

I find both front runners to be deeply flawed candidates. I have no horse in this race. Once they forced Edwards out, I knew hope was pretty much gone for an administration that had a chance of shaking things up, of ending Reaganomics for good.
