I was kind of hoping to hear from Torie or Nutmeg on this one. Torie, because he is a Gregg fan. Nut, because I believe he lives in NH. Or am I thinking of Scoonie?
Anyway -- thanks for the input thus far.
It all depends on whether voters continue to repose confidence in Obama's judgment. If they do, then he is home free. If however, his policies lead to problems, were oversold as effecting "fixes" when in fact what they lead to were more problems, if his fiscal numbers don't pencil, if all of this printing of money when its velocity picks up leads to irksome inflation, and the special interests resist giving up the money they got going forward for stimulus purposes, then Gregg is the perfect antidote, because folks will come to understand that he has good judgment, and is a reasonable tack.
So events could make the quest Quixotic, or be an exercise in a sharp knife cutting through what over time could become soft Obama butter. And I have no idea, none, which is more likely really, and anyone who thinks they do, may think they know more than they in fact do. Either that, or their perspicacity far surpasses my pathetic efforts at it.
So there. I pounded out over a hundred words, saying very little.
