Your logic sounds like the same logic that many are reporting that the Clintons are using to sabotage Obama's campaign, so they can win in 2012. It Aint Gonna Happen!!! You don't surrender your position in hopes that your opponents will lose and then you can pick after the smoke clears. Your argument is a ridiculous one, to say the least. By giving up, you only strengthen your enemy's position and end up in an uphill battle to regain your original position. And in this case, it could be, or definitely seem like, an eternity before the Democrats regain the White House.

Where do I get my logic? Try reading military strategy texts, for one. And you might also read about the battle of the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea, where the U.S. Army (and the Marines, among other U.N. forces) were caught in a trap and retreated. The army general was quoted later when asked if the Marines had actually retreated, "Retreat? Hell, we're attacking in a different direction!"

That battle and ensuing retreat ended up being the turning point of the war for the Chinese army who eventually won the war on behalf of North Korea. We ended up losing the war, and never regained the positions we retreated from. And, as a result, that event ended up being the only blemish in the U.S Marine Corps proud history. The unit lost its colors and, I believe, regained them only after many hard-fought battles in Vietnam. To this day, the battle cry from any Marine is "Death Before Dishonor".

Your strategy might work if Obama was playing some sort of board game, but he's living in the real world. I suggest you do the same.
