You thought his abdication of office to Bill Clinton today was Presidential? The man showed historical weakness as a POTUS today. Nothing like it has ever been seen.
I guarantee that you wouldn't be singing the same tune had a Republican done this. You'd be touting how the Republican was so wise to get help and advice from a former president who had been through such a situation. Sanrene would start the post and you'd be one of the cheerleaders.
But we already know your MO, MO. No matter what Obama does, it's wrong.
If we were going purely by the usual suspects in the 2010 race, Mitt Romney stands the best chance of winning the presidency. I see him winning MA, PA, the Midwest (except Michigan and possibly Minnesota as well), all of the South, the Central Plains, AZ, UT, ID, and maybe Montana.

Don't be so sure about Michigan. His father was a very popular governor there. And it was one of the only primary states he won. He is probably the only Republican that could carry Michigan.

Romney trails Obama in Michigan right now, but is the most competitive Republican against Obama in Michigan.
no, he would not beat Obama. He doesn't have that spark, his religion will hurt him (I don't like it, but facts are facts) and the mess with the Mass health care bill will haunt him for the rest of his life. As for weak candidates, being no one has even delclared they are running how can you say the selection is weak? A year or so from now we will have a better idea. Right now there are several fresh new faces emerging. The libs are just kidding themselves if they think there are no strong Republicans. Will any of them run? Heck I don't know, but they are there.

Thanks for saying that about romney. I can't stand him cause he's just too damned mean spirited. who are the right wing stars that you're referring to that would give a good run for the money, in your opinion?
sunny days, you've made your bed on the republican side so you will sleep it and never abandon it. its pointless to even read your perspective since it's always biased to one side, regardless of the issue. i also think you marginalize yourself when you just give your vote away without a fight for it, since you always only vote republican. i, on the other hand, am willing to cross parties. for example in this years election, i voted for republican kline in the district i reside, and an independent for governor. by just going with republicans (like you have stated that's all you do), you just marginalize yourself in the end.
ill say this though about 2012. these retreads like romney, huckabee, gingrich wont cut it. it will have to be a fresh face. christie i think has no chance as well.
someone who interests me is thune out of south dakota. he is quiet, he isn't a sound bite guy like palin who you see all the time in the media and is just annoying at this point. he is a small town midwestern guy who definently intrigues me.
Funny that you know who I vote for.
And no, I have not always voted for republicans only.
Why would Christie have no chance? I did not see anyone here even mention his name for President.
Did you see the latest poll, Romney would beat Obama by a large number if the election were held today.
How can they be retreads when Gingrich has never ran for President and the other two only were nominees once?
Thune is just another rep up and coming star. The party is full of them.

well of course number one, but he won't run: Crist Christie. Look at Paul Ryan and Mitch Daniels for starters. at one time I thought maybe JIndel, but I think he has a long way to come before he will be ready. He is very young. I am not counting on Romney, Palin or Newt to get the nod..Sunny mentioned Thune, he too is making a move.
