I don't think they have been as bad as some think. Even though I am a Republican and I did not vote for Clinton, I do not think he was a bad Pres. I also am not sure why so many think Perry is not electable. I happen to think he is, but that is my opinon only. If he gets the nod, we will see how well he can do. Certainly he hasn't been bad for Texas..At least most of the people in Texas (except for the libs) don't think he has been bad and they keep re-electing him.

Pennsylvania (PA) Poll * August 2, 2011 * Obama Hurt, But Tops GOP In De - Quinnipiac University – Hamden, Connecticut (http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x1327.xml?ReleaseID=1630 - broken link)

I don't expect any right wing replies. It never happens but secretly you guys read this data and see the handwriting on the wall. I cant wait until the second term when the tea party is silenced by the republicans and Obama can get this Country going again.

Massachusetts does not have state-run healthcare, and Romney does not favor that.

Please read up on the Massachusetts state plan and the plans that Romney had vs. what was passed. Then respond without purely erroneous rhetoric.

In that poll, the majority of the voters stated that Obama does not deserve to be re-elected. Also, Obama is statistically tied with Romney and RICK SANTORUM to win PA.

This is supposed to bring confidence on Obama winning a second term?

One problem he will not be running against either of them. He will be running against perry. And yes it does bring confidence because according to the tea party Obama stands no chance. Obama is up against much but thanks to the tea party he can still win. Romney is done. Santorum are you for real?

Any one remember the many articles like this
Bush's grim poll numbers. - By William Saletan - Slate Magazine

I know I do. The truth no matter how much I wanted bush to lose Kerry stood no chance of defeating him. Kerry could not carry any southern states bush won in 2000. Starting to sound familiar. I remember all kinds of talk about bushes bad poll numbers and how dissatisfied his base was with him. Guess what it wasn't about bush it was about Kerry. See the trend Kerry/Perry.

I actually have a scenario where a Republican could very realistically re-capture the Presidency. Not saying it is an easy battle, but very plausible.

Of course it could happen. My post are to the tea party and right wingers who day in and day out post things like my dog could beat Obama. Any republican can beat Obama. It is ridiculous how they think anyone can beat Obama. That kind of thinking and allowing the right to take over the party is exactly why Obama is hanging touch in there. No one knows what will happen but to think everyone is ready for a tea party Party President over Obama is crazy.
