Re: Obama is a shithead
[QUOTE=Rasheed1]No republican stands a chance no matter what
I dont see any republicans who could beat Obama..
When Romney is the best shot? :oldlol: you know the GOP field is thin.
Newt?
Pawlenty?
Barbour?
Palin?
Romney?
Hell, throw in Guiliani for good measure...
That is the worst field of contenders Ive seen since Ive been paying attention to this stuff :oldlol:
Obama would slay all of them[/quote]
It is a pretty bad lineup. When bomb-throwers and trouble-makers like Palin, Gingrich and Bachmann are being mentioned as serious contenders to lead the party in the next election, you know there are serious, serious problems.
Like I said in my above post, though... There are some 'better' candidates that they could go with that actually may have a realistic shot with the right climate between now and the election, but they do not want to waste them in a campaign that could end up being a total wipe-out for Obama.
Let's face it... Christie is their best guy. He is the only guy I see that has a legitimate shot. The fact that he is not giving in to the pressure of running yet and he is being so apprehensive tells you everything you need to know about the Republicans' feelings on the possibility of an Obama re-election.
Right now, it is looking VERY good for Obama... About as good as any president can possibly look in terms of re-election 2+ years in to their first term.
[QUOTE=Rasheed1]Chris has the best shot of any Republican... That said, I live close enough to Nj to know that Christie has warts too and I would be interested to see how those would play out in a presidential campaign...
Christie smart enough not to jump out there right now though...
I think he is the best politician (besides Ron Paul :)) the GOP have[/QUOTE]
All politicians have warts. The biggest hurdle that Christie may face is that the extreme right-wingers (which has become the base, somehow) may look at him as too moderate. His stance on social issues like abortion and welfare reform will get a lot of push back from the far right.
He would have to win a very sizable portion of the true 'undecideds,' and that happens to be a group that Obama is also very good at attaining and impressing.
I don't think Christie is going to run. I do think he will run in 2016, though, regardless of who the Democratic candidate is... And he will probably be the front-runner, unless something disastrous happens between now and then (six years is a LONG time in politics... Look at Elliot Spitzer).

Re: Obama is a shithead
The smart ones are waiting for 2016. I don't see anyone beating Obama. I think it is usually that way with an incumbent President on average unless there is just a disaster of the economy going on. Send out a sacrificial lamb while the others quietly building up name recognition and war chests for 2016.

Re: Obama is a shithead
The Republicans are gonna mail it in next election much like in 1996 with Bob Dole. They'll groom their real candidate in 2016.
If they had an ideal/winnable candidate for 2012, we would have heard about him by now and he'd be prominent in the media at this point.

The candidate is Christie... He probably isn't going to run. If there is some other populace conservative out there with a real shot, I haven't heard about him/her.

nope.

good for you. you sure showed them!

at this point i'm starting to feel sorry for you, given your severe lack of information.
pretty-much every president since GW has had to send troops against sitting ducks in order to 'protect' american rights. meaning, to grease the wheels in order to maintain our lifestyle. so welcome to the USA and welcome to reality. hope you enjoy your stay here.
also, you especially err in mentioning iraq and afghanistan, two places that not a single elected president from this past election would have been able to pull out of in this time frame.

the bank bailouts were started by the GWB regime and would likely have been continued by anyone elected... hillary to romney to edwards to palin.
as for the second item, look up "confirmation bias." you might, actually, learn something if you do.

welcome to the world of centrists. and do you think that obama was the first?

you're the one who should be ashamed. your understanding of the issues you've raised is microscopic and laughable.
still, on the positive side, there is a place waiting for you in president palin's cabinet. i think you'd fit right in there, with honors...

I'm not sure how he would do in the south. I think he is smart to not get into the race.

hah, so all the African Americans were jumping around yelling black man president black man president. When his approval rate drops the same people respond like this. Typical... sooner or later they'll say he's white.

I recommend joining the adults in the conversation.

Re: Obama is a shithead
Obama is the worst president of my lifetime and his first term isn't even up. This includes George W. Bush (He was half 'tarded, but he at least meant well). Clinton/Bush SR. '12
Who cares if Clinton has had two terms... Make it happen!
