Clinton Campaign Underestimated Sanders Strengths; Watch for the Big Leftward Shift

NY Times

. . . "According to Democrats close to the Clintons and involved with her campaign, Mrs. Clinton and the former president are also unnerved by the possibility that Mr. Sanders will foment a large wave of first­time voters and liberals that will derail her in Iowa, not unlike Barack Obama’s success in 2008, which consigned Mrs. Clinton to a third­place finish. They have asked her advisers about the strength of the campaign’s data modeling and turnout assumptions in Iowa, given that her 2008 campaign’s predictions were so inaccurate." . . .

QUESTION: Will We Really Have A New President In 2016?
. . . " In Obama’s mind, who would be best to carry on his legacy?  Barack Obama, of course.
"Think this can’t happen?  On March 16, 2012, Obama signed The National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order.  In times of national emergency, this order gives the president practically unlimited power over we the people and our property.  And the president essentially decides what constitutes a national emergency.
The White House stated that the purpose of the executive order is to delegate authority and address national defense resource policies and programs under the Defense Production Act of 1950.  Sounds reasonable enough, but there are very astute analysts that believe this gives the president unilateral authority to declare a national emergency, suspend elections, and seize control of every aspect of our society." . . .
