Obama-Clinton ticket for 2012 (L. Douglas Wilder)
Politico ^ | 08/02/2010 | L. Douglas Wilder

Posted on 08/02/2010 1:37:45 PM PDT by Responsibility2nd

With midterm elections approaching, and many focusing on politics, more than a few people want to determine what the tea leaves might mean for 2012 — when the “Big One” is on us again.

It would be good for President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party to address some important issues — now.

The president’s poll numbers can be read different ways, depending on who is doing the reading. One thing is clear, though: He has to improve his favorability numbers, as well as the unsettled national mood reflected in the “right track/wrong track” indicators. Neither is easy. Nor is there a simple fix.

But one thing Obama can do is reconnect with the 2008 campaign themes he used to barnstorm the nation: “audacity’ and “change.”

I didn't appreciate Wilder, attacking his opponent mainly for being pro-life.

To be fair, Marshall Coleman and his primary opponents Paul Trible and Stan Parris made abortion the issue during their primary.

Obama won’t be on the ticket - states are passing proof of native born American laws. He will choose not to run ala LBJ.

I totally agree. He will “graciously” step aside saying he did everything he wanted to in one term....of course we all know the real reason but he will only do one term. He will endorse Hillary and from there who knows what will happen.

Dear God, why don’t the Clintons just go away? If anyone thinks Hillary would be better than obama, they’re sadly mistaken. They too, had a culture of corruption and were thugs of the same cloth as the zero.

Please, Clintons, retire, take your ill-gotten monies and stay out of our lives. Enough is enough!
