(1) will be discarded, and that leads to choices that will result in (2) or (3). We would all like (2), but unless it is done extremely well, we will get (3).

Triumph, for Obama, will depend on hanging out to dry the worst culprits in his own party, where he has influence; it is very, very far from a given.
You make an interesting statement - the thing is that what we begin doing as adults depends on what we thought normal in childhood. Very many first time voters will have no idea of living in another world; that's where a lot of Obama's support has come from, and when I think of that, that is when I am most sorry for his burden.
