Now, you say, even Glenn makes sense once sometimes, but you say don't listen too political rabble, how do you know what Glenn is saying?

I agree with the contingent that thinks it all depends who the Republicans run against him.

Personally, I was all set to vote McCain in 2008 (didn't want a Democratic Congress & White House at the same time.) Then he added Palin to the ticket and case closed for me; unenthusiastically voted Obama.

Exactly. I was a Hillary Clinton supporter, so at first I also wasn't too enthusiastic about Obama (after all, I live in Florida, home of the disenfranchised

However, after Palin was added to the Republican ticket, I had to step back and wonder why she was plucked out of obscurity, and the answer was clear. Of course I gave her a chance at first, but once she was off script, she was clueless. Gotcha media or not, she couldn't answer simple questions and blamed everyone else for her shortcomings. As McCain and Palin continued to campaign, their hateful language prompted me to volunteer at the local Obama field office during the last weeks before the election.

Regarding the topic of this thread, I think it's much too early to predict what will happen in 2012. However, I believe Obama has a very good chance as long as the Joe Bartons on the right keep talking.

wow, back up, first you say it is too early to predict, then you say he stands a good chance because one person made an idiotic comment? You are talking out of both sides of your mouth.

As for McCain/Palin and hateful comments, would you like to give us a few examples and can you say only one side is ever guilty of this?

His approvals are hovering right around 50%, his numbers are better than Reagan's were at this point in his Presidency.

Not just one person. I just got out of the hospital and nobody I called about my astronomical bills will take a chicken.


Edit: This is very old news. However, if you care to look through my thousands of posts, you'll find I'm honest and consistent. I attended a Palin rally in Florida and wrote about it. It was a hate fest. She was grinning ear to ear while supporters yelled racist slurs and made threats against his life.

I have read many of your posts and you are a screaming lib from word go. I don't know about the rally you went to, that would have been approximatley 2 years ago or there-abouts. I also don't know who was yelling what but I don't think, if what you say is the truth, which I doubt Palin was smiling at them. If you did hear a slur (which is disgusting I will add) I doubt there were more than a couple screaming slurs. What would you suggest she do? continue speaking and smiling was the correct thing to do, you don't know much about public speaking do you?

The chicken remark has been spun around and around until most are getting dizzy from hearing it.

May I add, these are not people running for President.
