Some people just dont get it. Pundits often talk about candidates waiting it out until 2016. Where do people get this notion things will be better by 2016? By 2016, we will be looking at a 20 trillion dollar national debt? 600 billion dollar interest payments on the debt? Another 4 years of trillion dollar deficits? As long as the government continues to spend like crazy, the fiscal picture is only going to get worse. This means, it wont be a pretty picture in 2016.
The best the GOP has is Romney? What a sad state of affairs. I'd vote for Chris Christie, Ron Paul, Jeb Bush, Richard Hanna, but I will NOT vote for Romney.
@stocksandmore Unfortunately the GOP elite gave us a bunch of lousy candidates to choose from. Obama would not win if there was a Reagan-like candidate running.
@stocksandmore It will be close than last time but not as close as you think. Obama will beat Perry or Romney. Thats just the reality of the situation at hand that conservatives do not want to admit. Obama has more money, his base will support him, and people overall like him as a person.
lets say O gets a second term and i believe he will, i'm a supporter... unless he reforms medicare and the tax code which i think he will do, the Dems will lose 2016, if we continue to ignore our fiscal problems like we are doing now. I would be the first guy in line to vote for Jim demint if he ran, i wont vote for Ryan or Jeb... i am a democrat who likes jim demint. very strange!!!
The most sereal part of the primaries is that all three of romney's opponents (the man who resigned in disgrace, the fundamentalist and ron paul) were more qualified for the position. What I'd like to believe as a liberal, is that the "good" republicans are laying low this year, so that they can try and build a platform that atempts to reach out to a broader base then they currently have (all projections suggest that the R. base is in decline) and come back in '16 or '20 with a strong platform.
