Rasmussen just had Obama 42% Ron Paul 41%.
The point is, I think the Republican, whoever it is, is likely to win in 2012. Is there more about Pataki than “he can win”?
Is he right on the issues?

It eventually falls back to earth, where some of it gets sucked into subduction zones between tectonic plates, and a billion or so years later gets blown back into the atmosphere.

Repeat as required.

Repeal Health Care? That is as right as you can get.

Who? Romney Palin Newt Huckster...Not another sure loser please.

So the way to avoid a sure loser is to nominate a far-left liberal like Pataki? Gimme a break. Pataki is pro-illegal-immigration, pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-cap-and-trade and in the pocket of the unions. We'd be better off nominating a moderate Southern Democrat if that's the direction we want to go in.

Pataki is to the LEFT of Obama on gay marriage, on unions, on cap & trade and on immigration. He once refused to speak at a Republican National Convention because the party platform denounced illegal immigration and Pataki's whole family were illegal immigrants.

Well, then I don’t care if he’s “electable” because we can easily get someone elected that we like.

I think we shouldn’t forget that 40% of Americans are Conservative, and only 20% are Liberal.

You mean like “end the mandate”? Ron Paul is already on that.

Pataki isn’t exactly offering anything fresh with repealing Health Care. Very few Republicans support Obamacare.

Unfortunately the fuel efficiency of jets falls off at lower altitude and the margin of error shrinks.

Yes, the fuel consumption is so much greater the airline would have to raise fares substantially...And, of course, a non-stop transatlantic flight could not be completed at low altitude (well, it would come to a conclusion, but several hundred miles short of the destination).

an interesting link I found while googling...

Not sure if it will bring anything but ridicule, though.

The ash is not expected to pose a health risk as long as it stays in the upper atmosphere, the World Health Organization said.

Well, at least we got that going for us..../s

I think der leader should risk it and fly over to Europe to attend the ceremony. In fact, he should demonstrate how safe it is by circling the volcano a few times. He could then become the second Moses, this time for parting the ash cloud.

Yes, and if he really wanted to prove how great he is, he could have special blowers installed that would pull in more of the dust into his engines than normal just to show how harmless it really is.
