Don't underestimate the USA's ability to elect a complete idiot or crook to the White House.... [View all]

Because they have done it before
GWBush was an idiot and everybody knew it.
Richard Nixon was a crooked paranoid freak and everyone knew it.

There's a lot of crowing and funny cartoons about Mitt being toast on DU right now
We don't have this in the bag yet.
The American people can still be fooled by Mitt and his crowd so we need to stay focused, continue to work hard and fight until the fat lady sings.
Then I'll make my Mitt Toast graphic.
