No reason to help them, but it will most likely be Marco Rubio. They'll keep hitting at the people they think will have support in a Primary.
And you also didn't believe that Bush was electable in 2004. I'm not seeing an easy walk-in, but by no means do I think that the election is some done deal. The reality is that what you see as electable doesn't necessarily follow with the rest of the nation.

Despite what Mott said, he may have a bit of a battle getting re elected here in Ohio. I despise the guy, personally. I would love to see him be nominated, see it be a close election....and then see Ohio go democratic, denying him the white house. Now THAT would be sweet!

This, pretty much. It is by no means a done deal until the votes are counted. Just ask former president Gore.

Here ya go.
Bovard explained how President Franklin D. Roosevelt, often revered as a hero by political progressives, used the tax collecting agency to pester those who opposed his enormous expansion of the federal government under the New Deal...
John F. Kennedy later “raised the political exploitation of the IRS to an art form,” Bovard wrote...
Bovard notes how Republican President Richard Nixon later picked up where Kennedy left off: “More than 10,000 individuals and groups were targeted because of their political activism or slant between 1969 and 1973...
In the 1990s, Bill Clinton‘s IRS was found to have audited many conservative groups that were named in a White House report on groups and individuals critical of the Democratic president...
Republican George W. Bush, oversaw a great deal of IRS political harassment of left-leaning groups that criticized the administration. Progressive churches were targeted for their “political” sermons against the Iraq War while conservative pro-Bush churches were left alone under the same rules. Bush’s IRS also deliberately targeted Greenpeace, the NAACP, and other progressive NGOs...

Are you purposefully stupid; or do you work at it? A blog by a Libertarian filled with hyperbole and nothing more substantive than “he says so” and you think this makes your moronic posts look less stupid?
Dunce.
Well given your record for being wrong; I'd say that we Conservatives can sleep well tonight.
Dunce.
Christiekins citing a libertarian blog in an attempt to make her "they did it too" argument valid...priceless.
1. It appears you have abandoned the discussion regarding the hypocrisy of attacking President Obama while defending Christie, is that true?
2. I always believed Bush was electable based on name recognition, I always thought Gore would win, but felt Bush was viable. (Gore did get the popular vote.)
3. I don't consider the election a done deal, only because of how much time there is, but from todays view, the Republicans are in a hole. I always remember how two years before Bill Clinton was elected everyone said that Bush I's re-election was all but a done deal.
4. I don't always base my predictions on "the flow of the rest of the nation", it is only one factor.
5. The Democrats don't attack the most likely nominee, they attack the nominees they most fear would beat them in the general. I am sure Secretary Clinton is running those decisions right now, I would not be surprised if she were somehow pushing the current disclosures about Christie. I bet she would prefer Rubio be the nominee over say John Kasich, so I doubt you will see her trying to undermine Rubio at this time.
What have I been wrong about? The only prediction I can remember being wrong about in recent memory was when I thought the guy who is currently Governor of Texas had a chance at the last Republican nomination.
Now, sooo many Conservatives were VERY wrong in predictions about the last election.

Could you ask for anything any more intellectually more bankrupt?
The claims that Republicans are in a hole is fascinating to me; it’s almost as humorous as watching Democrats and Liberals giving election advice to Republicans.
Democrats win an election and all of a sudden, Republicans are out and on the knees.
We heard the same knee-jerk nonsense when Clinton took over having both the House and the Senate; that lasted less than one term. Americans saw the writing on the wall and put Republicans in control of Congress for the first time in decades.
When we look back at the historical record; Democrats enjoyed nearly complete control of Congress for five decades; that trend started to change during Reagan's Presidency and made a HUGE change in 1994.
In 2006 Democrats took control again for four short years only to have it yanked when Obama won the Presidency. If anything the trend is AWAY from Democratic dominance and towards more Independents than it is away from Republicans.
Where do you dimwits get this HUGE ideological change from; wishful thinking perhaps?

He may very well be the next president.
