The Hope and Change crowd

is mostly gonna be a no-show, for Obama next year, cuz the 'hoped for change' didn't really happen. Obama has been a huge disappointment to most of those who put their time and energy into the 2008 campaign that was based on a deep seated desire to rid ourselves of the 'party of Bush' who had done SO much damage to the country. Obama recognized and stoked those fires. BUT, he did very little to actually change things in the first 2 years when he had the House, and after that, with the 'party of NO'  in charge, it was too late. Interviews across the country suggest that most of his college supporters of 2008 are still inclined to vote for him. But the Obama ground army of 2008 is hardly ready to jump back into the trenches, potentially depriving Mr. Obama of what had been an important force in his victory. IF the Repubs can put a viable opponent out there, with all the money that's gonna come out of the woodwork for sleazy commercials and 'dirty tricks', it could be a very close election.
