Is Obama The Democrat's George Bush?

[Ayatollahgondola]

Remember the previous election cycle where many people were postulating theries that Bush was destroying the Republican party, and doing it intentionally to divide and /or marginalize the conservative base? John McCain conceded before the votes were all tallied;The election was rigged; the new president was chosen (crowned); etc.
I do not see a whole lot of difference between that time, and the massachusetts miracle that played itself out this week. The press announced the winner before the votes are all counted, and the hapless democrat who was attached to Obama's hip sheepishly told everyone she was the loser. So proceeding on this as a possible scenario, what is the outcome?
1( The Dems get divided, and the repubs still don't get enough steam to dominate, so the global powers move in to fill the void

2) the repubs profit from the swinging pendulum, and we get x amount of years of the same old BS from both parties as we've always had

3) Insert your theory here
