Are you all so negative because you don't really think America can change, or is willing to change, or are you secretly hoping that any positive changes Obama might attempt will be resisted and, ultimately shot down by your team so you can all say...."see?....change, my ass. Hope, my ass. What a fool."
They don't
want the positive changes. See, Conservatives and Republicans have profited mightily off of the current situation. Low taxes for the rich, money from the war pumped into their coffers, corruption, social issues dividing America; they
like these things and actively promote them at every opportunity.
So when we say 'change' in many ways it means a negative for them. An America with more equality, they see as less money (for the rich, fiscal Republicans, and those who would see themselves that way) and less influence for their people (the White, social conservative Republicans who want the country ran by THEIR morals and THEIR rules all the time).

Wisconsin? There is virtually no chance of that happening. I seriously doubt Michigan as well. Those two alone tip the scales.
