WHEN THE WORM TURNS:
September surprise (Noemie Emery, 10/23/12, The Washington Examiner)
On Sept. 15, 2008, Barack Obama was behind in the polls, caught off balance by the Sarah Palin selection and in trouble for the first time since his nomination. Then the financial collapse blindsided his rival, caused a huge civil war in the Republican Party, and dropped the presidency into his lap.It wasn't the first time blind luck seemed to help Obama.
The problem being that when you've gotten by on nothing more than being in the right place at the right time there's nothing for you to fall back on if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
