(1,250 posts)Obama's DEFINITE re-election (yeah I said 'definite') will be the end of that ugly coalition being able to influence a national election ever again.
It's gonna take much more time to kill that collective on the regional contests but slowly that will change too since you need influence on the national stage.
Republicans will either jettison the bigots or downplay them after November 6th.
They may still be dependent on them for the short term but when they lose they'll be looking for another reliable voting block to back the greedy rich's interests.
How long this will take who knows but they will be looking.
When they find that group the bigots will be left in the wilderness possibly creating another political entity.
Whether jettisoned or downplayed, there will be no more open embracing of them after this year on the national stage.
So in that sense Obama was right. CHANGE did come.
