Looks like Rick Perry, the Governator of Texas will declare tomorrow, he has something like $86 mil in the bank already. He’ll piss the GOP candidacy no problem. And I’m delighted by this, as he is a complete and utter southern nutter who makes George W look like a hand wringing lefty commie, so much fun and mirth will be had in observing his shit during the election. He seems to have a direct line to his chosen God, always a good start for any presidential candidate, wears cowboy boots and of course takes advice from his wife, who thinks that America has one of the finest, if not the best, healthcare systems in the world.
Obama / Romney would have been incredibly boring, Obama / Perry will be fun. Nothing like a good, mental candidate to brighten our lives. I almost hope he does become the next President.
What has Obama achieved to deserve being re-elected?
He hasn’t stuck a cigar up a girls wotsit. So far as we know anyway.
Anyone who is willing to drink a pint in Moneygall has doen more than enough to deserve it.
There doesn’t seem to be much in the way of sane Republican candidates. I reckon the campaign will be a new low, worse than Bush/Kerry and worse than the mid-terms.
He got a healthcare bill passed that is slightly less mental than what was there and he isn’t a Republican. Two good enough reasons why he’s better than the alternative.
Apart from that he’s been rubbish. But the US political system is pretty much designed so that a President can’t be much else except rubbish.
Hopefully this Perry chap gets the nomination. He;ll no doubt turn out to be a closet homo.
Don’t think there’s anything particularly good about Obama. His record, compared with any significant European leader would be extremely right-wing. The only reason to re-elect him would be to hold back the rising tide of tea party insanity.
Agreed but that’s a good enough reason in the circumstances. The American political system is extreme right-wing by definition. It’s certainly far more right wing than Hitler was.
a yeah, but technically hitler was a national socialist, so we’re all to the right of him
regardless of the paucity of optons available, Obama has been a major disappointment
Any chance Hilary Clinton will resign and challenge Obama for the nomination?
When Ron Paul looks like the only sane adult in the room you know your in trouble
Pawlenty has dropped out now they must have dug up some serious dirt on him
Has Obama confirmed or denyed if he will run again and if he has how good are his chances of being re-elected? Is it a foregone conclusion?
He will run again. It is not a foregone conclusion that he will be re-elected, although the sheer lunacy of almost all his potential opponents gives him a good chance.
Who’s the biggest threat to him at this stage? He’s available at evens which is bigger than I would have expected.
Romney, the most centrist of the GOP candidates and the one who will more than likely win the Republican nomination.
Apparently Perry, who has struggled badly in the debates and is now floundering, is about to run attack ads on Romney and attempt to destroy him. Its an amazingly pathetic way the American parties choose their candidates, essentially tearing their own parties apart in the process.
Mitt Romney and Herman Cain are the leading the Republican polls right now.
Yeah, I believe he used some fashionably modern medium to launch his re-election campaign a few months ago. I’m fairly sure Romney will win the Republican nomination. He’ll run a slick campaign, and if there is a strong anti-Obama sentiment out there he is probably a good enough candidate to capitalise on it. The biggest charge he will face is that he has spent the last six years or so giving the impression that he would say or do anything to be President. The platform he is now running on is a million miles away from how he governed Massachusetts, most visibly seen by his hard opposition to the Federal health legislation, which wasn’t a million miles away from a scheme that he signed into law in Massachusetts.
When it comes down to it, I think Obama will win. It will come down to a few key States again, though electoral the map is always subtly shifting. For example, Virginia would be a State that the Democrats would probably have to carry to win nationally now, whereas it would have been fairly solidly Republican a decade ago. That’s to do with an increase in popluation in the suburbs of DC, with more liberal voters there than in the south of the State. From what I’ve read, early indications seem to be that there could be more States ‘in play’ than in 2008. Places like Indiana and Wisconsin are swing now too, as well as the Rocky Mountain States. It’s not just about Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania anymore, which it pretty much was in 2000 and 2004.
Herman Cain :lol: :lol: :lol:
