The major, monumental, end-all, be-all FACT in this race is the LOUSY ECONOMY. It’s worse than Carter’s cluster fluke.
The only way O’BowWow wiggles out of this is by starting a MAJOR WAR.
This is how they continually move to the left, the GOPe know that they could have run anyone, but they chose the most liberal of the bunch, and I am sure they actively discouraged some better candidates.
I disagree. The GOP-E doesn't have the votes to push. The Tea Party movement is not very organized, its influence was attenuated by the Great Recession's effect on small donors, the Citizens United decision backfired with superpacs for Romney, too many candidates to the right of Romney from various perspectives and too many states with open primaries.
Romney, Obama, what’s the difference. God Romney sucks.
This has been my contention for some time, but I think that Hillary will be at the top of the ticket, and someone else will be in the second spot. I don't think Hillary will accept second spot to anyone.
Then the solution is that the RINO's must go- e.g. Dick Lugar, Olympia Snowe.
“I’ve been wondering for a while now why everyone keeps calling it a ‘recovery’ at all!!?”
It’s economics jargon, with a more or less precise formal technical definition. If the economy has negative growth (whatever that stupid term means; it’s not growth if it’s negative, it’s shrinkage) for two consecutive quarters, or whatever, according to whatever official measure they use, we’re in a recession. If it stops shrinking, we’re in recovery.
Doesn’t matter how many people are unemployed, how much we’re inflating, how many sectors of the economy are still shrinking, etc. So long as the macroeconomy has stopped getting worse, they call it “recovery.”
Dream on.
Obama has the advantage of incumbency. He has the media. He has the unions. He has all government workers. He has everyone on the public dole. He has limitless financial resources. He has the “Chicago way” of fraud, now on a national scale.
Romney generates 0 enthusiasm among conservatives.
Odds favor Obama’s re-election.
The GOP-E does have the dirty tricks, the complicit media, the K-Street crowd, and Rove out there to bash conservatives. I watched them do it. Iowa, Virginia, Florida, to name a few.
To hell with the GOP. I will NEVER vote for Romney.

Obama has been cooking the economic books, and will continue to do so. No matter how bad the economy actually is, the media will never report that fact. They will just keep touting Obama’s “recovery.”
Victor David Hanson... uber RINO!
We must do everything possible to stop Romney!
So sayeth the powers that be... here.
Makes you wonder, don’t it?
The last that I read was that Victor David Hanson was a registered democrat.
Perhaps as the campaign goes on, you will reconsider that sentiment — vote against Obama and then work within the system to force conservative values back into WDC through the House and the Senate.
Best you re-think your position!
Obama must be defeated at all cost!
A conservative House and Senate, with conservative leadership, can force Romney our way.
It is for damn sure that if Obama wins four more years, he will destroy America, and we cannot be part of that!
VDH is pretty much spot on. The Obama ‘hope and change’ has morphed in to hopeless and unchanged. It is now no hope but we still do want to change - from Obama.
Dude, you’re blowing all your credibility as a rational political analyst with statement like that.
Oh, well, we all have our chinks in the armor.
I won't enable the GOP-E. They have done that for a few elections. And folks like you are enabling them. And they keep moving to the left.
