In 1985, nobody would have suggested that Bill Clinton would be a good nominee for President in 1992.

In 1993, nobody would have suggested the George W. Bush would be a good nominee for President in 2000.

Yep, you're right Dinasty.

I hope Barack Obama runs, he is what this country needs to reconciliate positions.

Why? Because he's black? Because he can deliver a speech?

Obama is an unknown who Democrats are imprinting their own idea of an ideal candidate on. Hardly anybody actually knows him.

Isn't it plainly obvious that they were good nominees since they went on to win the election?

It makes no difference. We haven't had a legitimate election in this country since 1996, and as long as the current crop of right wing fanatics is at the helm it's a safe bet that we won't be having one in 2012 either.

It's "sore loser"(in the states at least), but yes q/q embodies this to the fullest.
