The dems should hope Obama loses because the US economy might tank all the way and Obama (and therefore the dems) as a sitting pres might get some of the blame whereas if McCain gets in its all Repug blame, and you won't see a Repug in for 20+ years. The party is already losing its base some say, (as the older folks meet their maker) and a total economic tank would be around their necks for a generation after. Isn't this more of the reason why repugs should want McCain to lose?
