We still have 17 months to go until the 2012 election. If I remember correctly---and maybe I don't---Obama's official position 17 months before the 2008 elections was that he was not running?


Obama formally announced that he was running in February, 2007. (Or 21 months before the election.)

Does the Republican party really stand out as indecisive by historical comparison? And if they are, should that really worry them? That would surprise me.


There seem to be a lot of reasons to worry, yes. There have been other situations when there was no really strong candidates that emerged until late in the process -- Bill Clinton is one that is frequently pointed to by Republicans, while Democrats tend to point to Bob Dole. Several things I've read (I can try to find them back) indicate that the Bill Clinton model doesn't seem to fit this situation very well.

@sozobe,

Do the democrats have a solid candidate that can stand up to and defeat Obama?
Will democrats try to save their own party from Obama's destruction?

@H2O MAN,
Your assumption that Obama was destructive only shows how ignorant you are! GW Bush was responsible for the Great Recession. There is no one who could have made a recovery that impacted the world's economy in three years.

Half of the current national debt was created during Bush's eight years in office - with the support of the GOP congress. The other half of the deficit was created to provide for tax cuts to the middle class, assist those who lost jobs during Bush's Great Recession, and to implement some infrastructure repair and maintenance.

You're not only ignorant of the facts, but stupid as well. You don't understand economics, but blather away with inane comments about what the current president didn't accomplish during a world-wide fiscal crisis.

You must've been waterboarded, and lost any thinking ability.

100% of your posts are useless, baseless, and valueless.

@cicerone imposter,


Your inability to see what Obama has done and is doing to this country is scary.
You would rather blame Bush for all past, present and future problems than face reality.
You are an idiot.

Meanwhile, Jon Huntsman says he will skip Iowa and pin his hopes on New Hampshire. Donald "Look at me! look at me!" Trump says he may run as an Indy. And Sarah Palin is on vacation in her bus, stunningly mangling U.S. history.

@sozobe,
I'm afraid you are simply wrong here.

Bob Dole had the nomination once he announced he was seeking it.

He is a perfect example of the GOP's history of giving the nod to the person whose turn it is.

I think you are allowing your desires to color your analysis.

There is no reason to believe that the GOP can't adopt the political scrum methodology so favored by Democrats.

And yet you continue, time and time again, to respond to them.

Surely this tells us something about you.

Hey, this is the woman many tea party and conservatives want as our president; who will certainly make great history for the comic books.

@parados,
You utter idiot.

You and all the other Palin haters keep getting suckered by someone for whom you have such disdain.

The sad thing is that it doesn't really matter whether she is wrong or right, the Media will simply repeat over and over again it's lie that she was wrong, and with the help of idiots like yourself, the general public will believe it.

She's too damaged by her war with the Liberal Media to win the presidency which is something of which the press should be utterly ashamed. They won't be though. She had the nerve to take them on and she must be destroyed.

Revere "warning" the British that the Americans were coming.

You pompous little turd, do you really think this woman who has achieved far more than you ever will is incapable of laying traps for her enemies?

@Finn dAbuzz,
What did Palin really achieve? That some yokels in this country thinks she's capable of being our president? It's not about her, it's about the stupid voters who believe as you do.

Was she attempting to teach some third graders about Paul Revere? LOL

@Finn dAbuzz,
But let's compare Palin's words with Revere's Finn ...

Palin said
Quote:
“He who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed.”


Revere wrote:
I told him; and
aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River,
and that There would be five hundred Americans there
in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up.


So.. he told (not warned) the British the American were going to be coming.
He said nothing about "arms" or the British would not be taking "arms" away from them. He said nothing about ringing bells. He didn't ride his horse through "town" He warned places along the way and in Medford and Lexington but was stopped before he got to Concord. He wasn't armed so didn't fire any "warming shots".

So.. if we completely change or ignore what Palin said then maybe we can make one part of it almost true but the rest of it is complete made up bull **** with nothing factual to support it.

Because Revere was stopped by the British and told them Americans were coming doesn't equate to warning the British they aren't going to take our arms except in a vague bizarro RW way.
