Obama is locked in a dead heat with Romney and Obama's approval ratings + the polls that say the country is heading in the wrong direction are staggering. Especially with the Obama campaign spending 100 million on negative tv ads. They do not seem to be working... maybe because they are all lies. This is all Barry's got and he cannot keep doing it the closer it gets to the election. If this does not really hurt Mitt..... Barry is in serious trouble. Obama is even going to other countries to fund raise bc he is sucking it up here.Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

I've heard Pawlenty as a front runner - but he is a smart man and I say he declines if offered. being the VP candidate on a losing ticket isn't damaging in the longer term. Look at Palin - she came out of it as strong a candidate as she had any right to be given her qualifications. A GOP loser may position him or herself in good position to run for the upper half of the ticket in 2016. I also don't see it as a slam dunk loss either - odds are getting good enough that it's worth taking a shot. It's very hard to get on the ticket for President and this year is the best chance for most of them to do so. If Obama prevails, then it will be a highly contested race in 2016 and frankly most of the existing candidates should be disqualified for failing to win this time. The GOP will need to find new blood, new leadership. I had expected it to emerge by now but it seems that got derailed by the Tea Partiers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,116 #14 July 16, 2012 >I don't think you will find any clear-minded person who thinks Romney was EVER >a Hard Right Winger. Oh, I know a lot of left wingers that think that. (You can, of course, claim that left wingers aren't "clear minded" but that's just the usual SC crap.) I think people who have known Romney for a long time think he's pretty moderate due to his political stance while he was governor of Massachusetts, but someone who learned about him during the primary - and didn't read about his governorship - might see him as considerably farther to the right. He put some effort into trying to appear more extreme to appeal to his target audience (republicans.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that is your idea of "Hard right wing".... Now I see part of the problem. Quotelosing ticket At this point in Carter v Reagan Carter had a 9 point lead. Exactly what group that voted for McCain last time is suddenly thinking that they should instead vote for Obama? The college kids who are now out of school without a job?

billvon 3,116 #21 July 16, 2012 >exactly - we'll see Romney and Obama verge to the middle as we approach November . . . It will be interesting to see how they do that. Romney can use his tenure as governor to claim he wrote Obamacare and that he really supports gay marriage, for example, if he needs traction on those issues. Obama has more freedom to flip-flop because of his lack of previous executive decisions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
