Maybe it's because he's a liberal

Jennifer Rubin on the tanking of The Messiah aka Obamamania's campaign.

Democrats remain flummoxed and liberal pundits fret: what’s the matter with Barack Obama? He is supposed to be winning. By a lot. Well, a Democrat is supposed to be winning, but this particular one is having his share of problems. Charles Krauthammer on Friday explained:

I think the sheen from earlier this year, where he was seen as a streaking meteor and he was the candidate of hope–I think it was Brit Hume who said he started the year by selling hope, but now he’s selling audacity. And I think there’s a sourness setting in. And you see it even in mainstream press when you get a Dana Milbank of “The Washington Post” write a brilliant article in which he says said that Obama started out as the presumptive Democratic nominee, and now he’s the “presumptuous” Democratic nominee. So there is a sort of a turn in the zeitgeist. Where the energy issue is hitting is in congress. The Democrats have made a huge mistake here, the stubbornness of Pelosi and Reid in not allowing a vote. The Democrats know it is a losing issue. It’s manna from heaven because Republicans were running uphill on all the economic issues, and they are clearly on the side of public opinion on this.

It is really three factors at play: Obama has gotten worse, John McCain’s campaign has gotten more aggressive in pointing out that Obama has gotten worse and Obama is no longer talking about the issues which were underpinning that huge advantage Democrats were thought to enjoy.

Let me help out on this analysis.

First, American's have routinely rejected liberals and liberal theology. As evidenced by the fact that a liberal has not won the presidency with 51% of the vote since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Bill Clinton needed a third party, a moderate message and a couple of deceased opposition candidates just to eke out a win.

Second, as voters start paying attention to the campaign they are starting to recognize that Obama is, in fact, a big time liberal. Wait until September/October when all these communist/socialist/marxist friends of Obama start making their way into a TV commercial near you.

What will liberals do once they get their ass kick in yet another presidential election? In the past, they've claimed that it wasn't a rejection of liberal theology as much as the messenger.

When The Messiah gets his ass kicked will they actually hear the clue phone and get that the public will always reject their liberalism?
