Excellent post.
No insulting horses. Even the oldest nag is far lovlier than the First Sasquatch.
That was in April. A lot happened since.
He’s a gangster and a product of Chicago politics. What he means is that this time he’ll have the resources of the federal government to ensure his victory.
sounds crazy but don’t underestimate the power of the presidency
For the moment, indeed!
He's not wrong. Since he wasn't president in 2008, it was impossible to be "re-elected". So, in 2012, even if it's only a snowball's chance in hell, its a better chance than zero.
Higher odds means the opposite, his chances are worse. 20-1 is higher than 2-1, is it not?
For the moment . . .
Maybe I can persuade you with this argument:
Sarah hasn't declared.
That should be all the argument necessary, but lets play the chess game here and look a few moves ahead.
Using my Rolodex Template, I prefer Perry. We have no idea who would be in Palin's - could she borrow from the same crew that ran the miserable failure McLame/Palin campaign? So Perry runs his campaign until the Convention and wins enough delegates in order to receive the nomination. During this time Palin continues to heckle and make cheap-shots from the sidelines keeping her in the news, peeving the Progressives and staying beloved by her adoring fans. Palin isn't "running" so she can't be attacked as a candidate, yet people like you are pining and hoping that she will return your phone-call and run.
At first I was put off with Palin's "Crony Capitalism" charge against Perry thinking that she just queered her relationship with him. Then I thought, Perry's team is too good to be cornered like that. So Palin continues to reassure the Tea Party people that her ideology eschews the "business as usual" practices in the District of Criminals. This is very important because there are illegitimate yet persistent questions/unfounded accusations regarding Perry's alleged "corruptibility".
Palin is like Hillary in that she is polarizing. True, we all love her, but enough people hate her to make it a real issue that favors Barry. Furthermore, we have the problem that many decent people love Palin, but would love her more if she would stay at home and raise her children. Also, she is NEVER going to live down the governorship debacle regardless in how it is spun.
Perry is already drawing huge crowds where he appears, just like Palin. This is a VERY good thing. He has enough Establishment Connections to be able to attract real money, and has enough star power to draw in the enthusiasm.
Now add in an announcement at the Convention that Palin will be VP for a real presidential candidate. You have emotional sycophants like you who will crawl over broken glass for Palin, and you have seriously minded people who will cut those checks for the P/P campaign because of Perry. Now Palin's religious fervor for removing the stinking trash in DC combined with Perry's "kick ass take names" governing style and you have lots of Positives with the Enemedia unable to decide how to attack that ticket and screwing up in the process.
Now Palin can work off that "inexperienced" claim in the eight years Perry is doing whatever he does. She is perceived as not being the spotlight and able now to "raise her family" whether that is an issue or not. In eight years, most of the kids are on their own and Palin has solid bonefides with the rest of the country. You have a total Win/Win which will WIN the White House while dragging in large numbers of enthusiastic voters to elect a conservative house and senate.
Now lets do our part and Primary our RINOs and vote in Conservatives so that when the Perry/Palin team dominates and brings true hope and restoration, we can restore our nation to its former Hyper-Power status.

There you went and did it.This was a funny thread.Standby 6 5 4 3 2 1...for the...SARAH won’t take second best because she is better than Jesus posts.
Of course they are.
His chances of being RE-elected in 2008 were zero because he hadn't been elected yet. So, even if his chances of winning the election in 2012 are 1%, that's higher than 0%.
So technically. it's a true statement.
” President Obama said he believes his chances of being reelected in 2012 are “much higher” than they were in 2008.
This clinches it, he’s back on drugs. “
LOL!
That is, if he ever got OFF them : )
Yes, because his Voter Fraud Machine is more extensive. I believe him on this statement.
I live on the west coast, some of them lean right but they’ll never admit it, at least not in front of anyone, I will though.....I try not to discuss politics with them. Funny to hear them wanting Ron Paul. Eugene Oregon, I doubt GOP will win Lynn county, but maybe Lane, the anti-Obama sentiment here is gaining momentum and quick, still have over a year to go.
True. And he may be going for a better high & state of delusion.
So if all he's wearing are long sleeve shirts, someone should check his right arm for needle tracks.
oh-oh, now I did it.
I better turn myself in to AttackWatch.
............... 
Dump Biden, choose Hillary for the lib fem vote?
As long as he has that attitude there is no way he even tries to make the changes he needs in order for him to be even remotely electable.
