There's no way republicans are going to elect a Mormon so Romney is out.

I hope you are right, because Romney is the only one from "the gang that can't shoot straight" to stand a chance of beating Obama.

They will nominate him, he will pick a strong VP and he will win.

I'm hoping he picks Palin as his running mate, she really energizes the base and has good VP campaign experience.

Strong VP? Hech, Republicans dont even have a strong Presidential candidate to pick from! He will pick a relative unknown like our Governor.

I'm not so sure VPs are much of a bonus. You aren't voting for the VP, you are voting for the main guy, the P. All people look for in a VP is some competence. You don't have to fulfill as big a standard as the P.

What I'm saying is, I don't think in modern elections a VP adds much to the campaign. However, I think they can be a liability.

The president will be in trouble when republicans can find a valid candidate to run against him.

Cain, Romney, Perry, Bachmann, Paul are all jokes. Obama will crush them in the first presidential debate. I don't think Romney, Perry or Bachmann even have any economic or foreign policy plans that republicans will agree with.

At least Cain is throwing his 9-9-9 plan out there. About time somebody actually addresses our tax system's many flaws. His plan may not be the best, but at least it starts people talking about changing the system. Realistically, things will never change, the politicians are all corrupt.

The tax plan we have today is what's left of Reagan's Tax plan. Cain's plan already has deductions in it.

The election is a year away and anything can happen, but Obama, despite his crappy approval ratings, is beating Romney is virtually every poll. Obama is a known quantity. For the most part, Romney isn't. The Dems can spend a year tearing Romney down over RomneyCare, his Wall Street windfalls, his flip-flopping on issues like abortion and his "Corporations are People, too" mantra. With any luck, the economy will improve somewhat in the coming months, which, combined with Obama's foreign policy accomplishments, could make for a re-election victory.

@ JW, WTL , The Other Guy

If you all did a gut check, right now, on whether you truly believe Obama will be relected I suspect it would say no, he will not.

With that said, Mitt is your guy, because Mitt will be the most complacent on reversing Obama policies. The American people will be unahppy with Mitts presidental performance and he 2016 cycle will be ripe for the Democrats to get POTUS.

My gut check on Obama is that it is 50/50 for re-election. I think in the general election he will poll better than he does now, even if there isn't a huge improvement in the economy.

Obama has been compared to Carter, but Carter was surly, unlikeable and appeared really weak on foreign policy. At the same time, the economy continued to get worse and worse during Carter's term. Currently, the economy is not great, but it doesn't appear to be getting exponentially worse.

I think if there are some signs of the economy coming around and if Obama has some more foreign policy successes in late 2012, he stands a decent shot at re-election.

Based on what I'm seeing from the GOP since 2010 and how I personally feel about the job Obama has done, I would say my "gut check" is he'll be re-elected.

I think that thinking it's a slam dunk that he won't be reelected is one of the mistakes a lot of conservatives and Republicans are making. It's the same one liberals and Democrats made in '04.

I do think he would absolutely win against any Republican I've seen except maybe Romney, and even that one is 55/45, leaning Obama's way.

There really haven't been any attacks on Romney because he has been in the background of Perry and Cain. If Romney ever gets to the front runner status(doubtful after the last debate) then he'll drop like rock with his past votes made public.

I would think Obama supporters would be jockeying to have Romney be the front runner. Obama would easily defeat Romney no question on that.

Let's not forget, in a field of many candidates no one has jelled behind anyone yet. These polls will change once the primaries begin - once the field is down to 2 or 3 final people and the others have dropped out of the race these polls will have more meaning. The fact that he is polling as badly as he is right now as the incumbent is pretty telling though.

I said the same thing about Bush v. the Democratic
field in October 2003. I was just as wrong then as

There wasn't much you could do about Kerry... Having Newt get the nomination would be almost on par.

I think Obama is more like a George H.W. Bush. He rocked the foreign policy, was piss poor on the economy. He ran against a fractured field of Democrats who in the end coalesced around Clinton. Clinton wasn't many Democrats' first choice.

Bush lost because 1) Ross Perot split the Republican vote and 2) Bill Clinton was Bill Clinton. If anyone runs to split the vote this time, it will be from the Tea Party end of things if Romney gets the nomination. And Romney is not Bill Clinton.

I don't see any of the current crop of potential GOP
nominees as being particularly strong against Obama.

Romney - Much baggage, elitist, flip-flopper, weak on jobs, business experience enriched him & not much else.

Perry, Bachmann, Cain - National-level political novices, the gang that couldn't shoot straight, fundamental wackos, niche appeal won't carry over to the national stage.

Paul, Gingrich, Johnson, Huntsman, Santorum - Really, their chances are so low that discussion of it isn't necessary.

Of course, it's WAY too late for additions to the field, so them's your choices.

Obama's reelection is looking more likely every day.

To your first point, Ross Perot took the same amount from Clinton and Bush.

To your second point, Bill Clinton was not Bill Clinton in 1992. He was a relative unknown that made it to the top of a very muddled heap. He, like Romney, was a moderate in a field of idealogues.

I realize you think a Tea Party candidacy is a possibility, but it is about as possible as an Occupy candidacy as well. In the end, the imdependents will break for a candidate like Romney over Obama.

WTF are you talking about?

Bush didn't rock foreign policy. He got the US involved in two wars. One war searching for WMD's that didn't exist.

Bush destroyed the banking industry by letting it run wild.

Bush took the stock market from 11,000 down to 5,600.

Gas went to $4.80.

After Bush there had to be government bailouts to kept major industries like the banks, car makers and airlines from going under.

Not to mention the incredible debt bill Bush ran up that the country may never recover from.

Herman Cain will fade and next month it will be Ron Paul's turn in the spotlight. The fact the republicans candidates easily come and go is a sign that republicans don't think they have a strong candidate. I'd say it looks like Obama will be re-elected if he plays it cool.

I'd look for a lot of Congress to get booted.

Thought this was just a hit job in the Politico - where did Bachmann's campaign come into the story?

This is just the current MSM "Clarence Thomas" moment for the uppity black man.

I just want to know where all the critical reporting was of the associations Obama had with William Ayers (which still have yet to make it to the MSM after all these years). I mean come on, these folks planted bombs in Federal government buildings and killed people - but yeah, Ayers is a professor now or something, so he gets a pass. Really. It is amazing the lengths the MSM goes to avoid reporting on any of Obama's past or affiliations - I mean really, what do we know about Obama that wasn't in his book (written by Ayers)? There have been some off channel stories, but MSM refuses to do any critical coverage of the guy. It just goes to show that with artful planning (see bury all your records as deep as you can and not allow anyone to release them) you can be elected President.

Your assertions above get no play in reputable media
circles because there is no ‘there’ there. Ayers is
a guy from the neighborhood in Chicago whom the President
barely knew. It’s a non-story, which is why you only
read about it on wingnut outlets like World Net Daily
& CSN News.

You have to believe that there’s some sort of media
conspiracy to protect the President, because that’s all
you’ve got. You can’t handle the truth, which is as I’ve
stated above. If you have some sort of evidence; not
supposition, not inference, not opinion masquerading as
fact; actual proof of the President’s nefarious past,
bring it. Otherwise, STFU.

What rock do you live under again? LOL

The only reason you see much in the way of critical reporting on Obama now is that some of Hill and Bill's old pals have finally had enough of him and they are starting to get critical. The folks in the MSM firmly tied to the DNC are towing the line just as faithfully as before.

If you DON'T believe there is a move afoot to protect Obama then you must be living in that same utopia they are painting for you.

The proof is out there every day they refuse to cover stories that ARE stories critical of Obama's past.

As opposed to "sources" unnamed that curiously surface when it is clear Cain is in the lead. Please, you are about as deluded as they come - drinking from the Obama/MSM koolaid dispenser. Do you watch Ed Schultz - that guy lives in Obama delusion-ville central.

Thanks for providing additional supposition, inference,
and opinion masquerading as fact. Really, you are too
predictable. Just because you're paranoid, RV, does
not mean that the world isn't out to get you.

That loudmouthed buffoon gives me a headache,
so no, I don't watch him. I can't stand
listening to/watching Rev. Al, either.

I do watch Rachel Maddow, though. She's
extremely intelligent and her arguments
are always well-reasoned and supported
by verifiable facts. She takes shots at
both sides, too. Best of all, she's got
winning sense of humor.

See: Personal Attacks.

Last I checked ACORN was an organization. The allegations being "sourced" regarding ACORN/NYCC are current events, not something covering an issue that may have come up 15-20 years ago.

Herman Cain didn't know anything about sexual harassment suits in a 9am interview but in a FOX NEWS evening interview he all the sudden said "A paid agreement was made to one of the women." (Actually both women were paid a FIVE figure settlements)

God I am enjoying the Republican candidates eating each other alive and being called out on their bullshit lies.

It's called the internet GOP! People can look up facts now and Republicans can no longer just make facts up. The GOP candidates might fool republicans with their BS but Democrats know how to use the internet to look facts up.

Yeah, Cain's now toast, too (and he WAS the leader until this blew).

He can't get his story straight, so the story itself will "get it right". The woman-with-the-NDA will make more money from revealing "her truth" than the NDA payoff.

Stupid.

Gotta love the way it was "Absolutely false!", then "I know of one instance but no compensation", then "Ok I know who this person is and of the incident but she did get paid."

Pretty soon it's going to be "We did have sex in the Godfathers Pizza store while it was video taped and customers watched."

I think it will eventually be between Romney, Cain and Gingrich as all the others fade out. My guess is that Romney will get the eventual nod. I had always thought that, but up until all the harassment stuff, was beginning to think Cain might have a chance at pulling off an upset. Kind of a shame, I would've enjoyed the campaign where the race card couldn't have been used because I think it would have been very entertaining.

Romney will go the same path as Perry. Both of them are shit candidates that just smile and repeat a couple of talking points. They are career smiling politicians. Romney just hasn't said much yet so he hasn't had a good gaffe.

Obama would destroy Romney. Obama was top of the Harvard debate team. The biggest threat to Obama would be Gingrich in a debate. Gingrich can quote facts and figures that will make your head spin.

The best thing for a GOP candidate to do is to not debate Obama if possible. I'd say democrates want to prop up Cain or Romney for an easy win.
