And then the Republicans still have to come up with a better choice in 2012. Who's that? Sarah Palin? Don't make me laugh.

You have to have somebody who wins independent votes, not just panders to the base. That's why Bob Dole didn't beat Bubba in '96, and why Kerry didn't win in '04. Independent voters make or break elections, not the wingnuts. They cancel each other out.

Well, duh. And that was four years into Reagan's first term. Yes, "if" things stay like this, Obama is headed for trouble, but "if" things remained the same for Reagan, he wouldn't have been reelected.

This isn't difficult to understand. I guess some people are hell-bent on bashing Obama, though. I'm done with this little back-and-forth. I think I may be wasting my energy.

I am not hell bent on anything. I am simply stating what I think will happen if things stay the way they are. Sorry that you have such an issue with that. Run along then.

Just say'in.
Rep points? You are kidding right, oh wait, you aren't. Sorry, I do not worry about such things. I admit, like anyone that posts here, that I enjoy like the idea that another poster believes I posted something worthy of praise, but if I never recieved another one my world would not come crashing down. I will leave keeping count of the gold starts to you, heck I couldn't have even told you what yours or even mine were, but I see you seemed to take an interest in mine, hmmmmm. Have Fun with that.

Wow, I guess I need to dumb down the posting a bit for some people to understand.
No, you just need to smarten up your spin. Bush: The Most Polarizing President in History. The reached an 88% difference between party voters. Has Obama hit that level of polarization yet? So you're title isn't a pretty poor attempt at spinning? How old are you?

Also what methodology did Gallup use to identify (R), (D), and (I)?

Hey genius spelling IS an integral part of grammar, which defines proper word usage. Some rules of grammar pertain specifically to spelling, such as plurals and possessives.

Are you paying any attention to who is really out of touch?

I do not see an easy election coming so you have no clue.

Dems have a way to suck up gullible people who have no clue an those people get to vote.

Come on with Acorn and Obamas plan to allow millions of illegals in to vote who knows what will happen.

The TRUTH KILLS DEMOCRITS badly.


Yeah he is Polarizing THE STATE OF OUR ECONOMY, JOB LOSSES, WORST HOUSING SITUATION.
