You are right!
The MSM and the “New America” has gone much further to the left than even where it was 4 years ago. The influx of Illegals, the imbalance of minorities that have now become the majority, the product of Public Schools that has grown into voting adults, etc, will all surprise a lot of people here.
Many still live in a time capsule and compare the situation of today, with the Reagan Era. It is not realistic.
The people here who see this coming election as a guarantee to who ever we pick for a candidate, are in for a very rude awakening.
I've had a funny “feeling” about this election for many months. Actually, I think the world $$$ system is about to blow and that is what is wigging me out. That so many people don't see this...It's very clear to me that the house of cards is going to fall. Add to this the Iran situation...things are going to get bad, quick.
Any of you Mark Steyn fans that have not read his latest book should. I think he describes what is going to happen very well. It ain't pretty.
The election is something easy to focus on...so that is what I've done and that mess makes me queasy. I just don't see Santorum as the best candidate we have. Romney? Ugh. If it has to be, yeah, I'll vote for him...but HE'S the best? I think not. I'm looking forward to the convention. Will be quite interesting, I think.
So so true.
In fact, I expect that, and that would possibly make it key to see Palin back on the GOP ticket in the VP slot.
I would not expect Palin to get the top slot in a brokered convention, because a brokered convention requires some compromise, and I think the delegates are mostly aligned with the status quo GOP-E .
OK, if it does fall apart, which of the current (or possible) (R) guys would be seen as the strongest to counter the situation?
Surely Obummer couldn’t win on national security.

I agree with that, but doubt much of the described scenario will be the net result.
And one thing I am sure of, if Americans Elect garners more than six or seven percent, Obama is all but guaranteed of reelection. Despite a message of offering a less ideological alternative, their funding is from the left, and we would be foolish to think that they have anything else in mind besides Perot-ing this election.
This could be a very dark ride.
Horse hockey -— I do believe their will be some complex maneuvers coming in the next few months with many different possible outcomes. But, this set of ideas doesn’t jell. Newt and Ron Paul? No way! Brokered convention, I don’t think so. Hillary would not take the job of VP— There will be a confusing turn of events—some natural and man made disasters, some big distractions and maybe a war. Its going to be Mittens vs Obama is my best guess—so far with some unknowns as VPs for both parties. Old white dudes is my best guess.
We shall just have to see-—Things will form up in July or August—until then—its all smoke and mirrors.
“It’s a hell of a note when we have to pray for skyrocketing Gas prices and unemployment to stand a chance of winning, but that seems to be where we are.”
Well la-tee-dah, gas prices are already sky high.
Food prices, sky-high.
Electricity, you got it, everything is sky-high under the fraud-n-thief currently residing in the white hut.
And yes, it is entirely HIS fault.
I don't envy the next President. Look what he is stepping into!
