Of course it is...but I'm just pointing out that for every righty who thinks Obama is a tragedy, there is another who doesn't feel that way and many who are waiting to see how things play out. There just seems to be an assumption by conservatives...what a surprise...that he is one and done.

regardless of what people think of Obama, even if you think he is beatable you still have to muster up a candidate that can win.

So far you have a crackpot liar from Alaska that doesnt understand subtle details like why there is a north and south korea and a mormon from Massachusetts trying to sell to the bible belt.

Good luck on that one and done thing boys.

Well...If the Venerable Jeb Bush were to run then Obama would be in trouble. I mean...the previous two Bush administrations have been wildly successful and I am sure the american people are anxious to get back to the good old days.

I've always said you could do a Weekend at Bernies with Ronald Reagan and he would get 40% of the vote

No doubt!!!! The biggest joke of all time is that many of the clueless s h i t kickers out there bitching about spending would be the ones campaigning for the dead Reagan.

maybe reid could have spoken better, but if anyone takes a moment and a deep breath, and then reads his comments-then they might not have such a knee-jerk 'rush and fox said it's racist so it must be' reaction. this somewhat reminds me of when that fellow (a council member i think) used the word niggardly and got lambasted for it. demands for apology ensued-for what?! apparently for him using a word that some were unfamiliar with, and didn't understand...
So true. And seriously, I have no problem admitting that before I took lots of linguistics courses in college, I'd have felt the same day, and did about accents and dialects.

Reid used the term "Negro dialect," when he could've said "the dialect known as African-American English." BFD, same thing, and from a linguist's POV, it's not a judgmental thing, it's just another dialect.

jeb bush would win the same states as mccain and he would pick up florida , nc and va most likely

he would then have to win a few more states in the midwest - ie ind , ohio etc

he is not impossible

There's alot of media and political sites looking at the "what has really been accomplished in the first year" type of thing now, and the first year of this Presidency is looking to be up there with the very historical best, so far. Some pretty outstanding accomplishments, and numerous, too.

Of course, if one doesn't agree with the agenda, yes, the world is ending.

That said, the bankers are in Washington today, sworn in and trying to explain themselves. Overshadowed by Haiti disaster, of course, but it's happening.

I think you are best when you suddenly burst into the room, wave the red cape, yell, "Obama rocks" ! then run off with the herd snapping at your heels.

Pulls them off me for a while :D

I was reading a GOP party survey last week - Mitt is the frontrunner so far. Airhead is completely off the radar except for the wingnuts , and Jeb is a "dark horse", politically cursed by the legacy of his genetic predecessors.

Airhead should not get one vote by anyone. Unless its a vote for sexiest politician.

Anyone who quits her/his term of gov should never have another job in politics unless it is as a political contributor to fox news.

I would bet on the field over Palin, Romney, Jeb, or Huckabee right now. I think Republicans will want somebody "new" for 2012.
Their best strategy figures to be constructing a message that acts as if the world began when Obama took office. The last thing they'll want to do is discuss 2001-2008, and I think primary voters and Republican Party insiders will all figure that a "fresh face" will give them the best chance of pulling that off.

I don't even know if I agree with you on that one. Have you seen Ruby Dhalla in the Canadian Parliament? She's hotter than Palin in my book.

palin has no business even being mentioned as a potential candidate. huckabee imo is no longer a viable candidate with not one, but two, pardoned criminals who went on to commit murder(s). jeb wouldn't get a look if he wasn't a bush. shame about romney is the only 'knock' he seems to have is he's mormon. i don't know much about him, but i'd pick him over the other three.
