Well, time will tell of course, but it's a weak field. Romney is the likely nominee, and he's an empty suit that the base basically dislikes. Reagan always had the base.

Do you? No fool like an old fool.
By the way, nobody gives half a fuck what you say moron. You are completely irelevant.

Exactly. The only one who stands a chance against Obama is Romney and I would consider voting for him if it wasn't for my vow and if he is not stradled with a far right wing platform.
As a former Rockefeller and Main Street Republican I just can't fucking believe what has happened to the party. How did it become the party of ignorant, frightened and angry red necks?

ROFLMAO... yeah, you aren't a partisan hack.... Him 'winning' and award for doing NOTHING doesn't blow apart the assertion that he is a disappointment. Not in the least. It instead highlights the fact that there are a lot of idiots out there who wanted Obama to be their messiah and it turns out he was just a community organizer who pretended to be a Senator while in reality he was just campaigning to be campaigner in chief.
He is a disappointment to most independents too. Which is why he is polling so poorly among independents. You are right, Americans are fed up with extremists... which is why a moderate Rep will beat Obama.
The far right is not in power right now. Obama is in the White House and Reid controls the do nothing Senate.

What demonstrated ability? He was arguably the least experienced person running in 2008. He hasn't been able to create jobs, end wars and heal the planet like he sold you. Yet you still drink his bath water. Just admit that you're nothing more than a liberal, partisan hack.

"Unity in a democracy cannot be produced by mealymouthed political speeches.
Unity on great issues comes only when the voice of the people has been heard so clearly, so strongly, so unmistakably, that no one--not even the second guessers--can doubt what the people mean.
Thomas Jefferson did not seek unity by concealing the real issues between himself and Alexander Hamilton. He made the issues clear, so that the people could reach a decision. And their decision determined that democracy rather than autocracy should prevail in this great country of ours.
Andrew Jackson did not seek unity with the moneymakers in Philadelphia. He made the issues so clear that the people decided to place the control of the money in the Government of the United States, and not in a few private banks.
Abraham Lincoln did not seek unity with Stephen A. Douglas. He made it clear that this Nation could not continue to exist half slave and half free.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1933, did not seek unity with the economic royalists. He proposed the New Deal.
And today, I do not seek unity by concealing the issues between me and the special privilege groups that control the Republican Party.
I never will seek that sort of unity.
Real unity is behind basic principles and concrete programs. Real unity cannot be achieved without a definition of the issues, and a decision by the American people."
Wow! Great stuff. Harry really did give 'em hell. Funny how the right's objectives never change and they have to be beaten back when the economic disparity they create catches up to them. This time it's world wide.
Obama will be reelected even though Citizens United will allow the right to spend billions on propaganda. People are starting to understand the right's plans to starve our govt. and tank the economy in hopes of blaming it on Obama and winning a close election. Pfffftt cat's out of the bag. The reason the poll numbers are what they are is because people want him to be more like Harry.

There's only one moderate Republican running and for the sake of the Republican party I hope he wins cause the future for the Republican party is bleak if it continues to be dominated by backwards looking right wing reactionaries. Romney is the only hope the Repelicans have and I do hope sanity and reason prevails and that he is nominated. If he is....we have a horse race. A left of center moderate vs a right of center moderate both exceptionally talented men and that would be good for the nation. If the Repelicans nominate a right wing ideologue (and the rest of the Repelican field are such) then Obama wins handily.
Even if Romney wins the nomination I see him at a significant disadvantage. I don't think the right wing and evengelical base will show up for a "non-christian" where as Obama has the strategic advantage of incumbency. Romney doesn't have the personal dynamism of a Clinton or the charisma of a Bush to over come this disadvantage easily. The economic situation is a two edged sword for Obama, on the one hand, the poor economic numbers do not bode well for him on the other hand, the people haven't forgotten that it was Repelican lassiez-faire policy which got us into this hole so Repelicans have a substantial credibility gap on the economy. The only Repelican who has even the remotest chance of bridging that credibility gap is Romney as Cain's German housefrau plan "nein, nein, nein!" is a joke and Romney's record speaks for itself. The rest of the field? Forget about it!

Obama is right-of-center and I predict you would not be able to tell the difference between a President Romney and a President Obama.
However, Romney will be beholden to the nutball right, so there goes the courts. The only reason I will be voting for Obama.

You guys are so far to the right you can't see the center. Don't you ever get tired of being toadies for the same fascist ideology that got the U.S. into this mess? You must be part of the wealthy 1% and don't give a damn about America. A democratic country is not a corporation and can't be run the same way.

LOL! a free capitalist society! LOL! Your monopolistic form of trade has destroyed capitalism and every 80 yrs or so the people of this country have to save capitalism from you. If you sit by the pool and live off of a dividend check from invested money you are a capitalist, if you work for a living in a capitalistic system you are not a capitalist you are a worker. Get a grip. You've been lied to. Every time Hannity or the Limbaugh junkie says 'we' or 'the people' they don't mean you, they mean the 1% who have brainwashed you.
