2012 elections

Paul supporters are always complaining that Ron Paul is ignored by the media. Well here's a story. They may not be thrilled with it though. http://openchannel.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/09/10358155-super-pac-supporting-ron-paul-is-operated-by-a-911-truther Apparently Ron Paul is being...

Romeny seems to be on a roll. Going to my usual site I see that the average of various polls has the Republican hopefuls rated as follows: Romney 30.0% Gingrich 26.6 Santorum 16.0 Paul 12.8 undecided (by implication) 14.6 Considering that Romney also has more actual delegates, could it be that...

I wonder why I didn't hear about that earlier... Roseanne is running for the presidency of the USA - for the Green Party that is. So let me be the first to proudly endorse her since the other comedians happen to be less funny than her. Anyone else rather choosing her than the Grinch and...

After Obama's second term, of course.

Good morning! I think that Presidental contender Rick Santorum will be dropped out of the Republican race before too long. http://news.yahoo.com/tired-broke-santorum-heads-home-taxes-084655933.html He is talking about how tired he is and how he just wants to go home this weekend and do his...

A recent interview with Sylvia Browne: Full: MLive.com She "predicts" natural disasters in disaster prone regions, where every year something happens. Nothing impressive, except for the Obama prediction. Because she previously "predicted": On December 27, 2006 Browne said this about the 2008...

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-01-25/fidel-castro-rails-at-republican-idiocy-and-ignorance-.html "The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is — and I mean this seriously — the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has...

The infighting does a lot of the heavy lifting for Obama. Romney: Gingrich must return Freddie pay (and release ALL of the documents from the investigation) Give 'em hell Mitt! Hey Newt, you gonna take that?

ABC, NBC and Fox immediately called it as soon as the polls closed, so that probably means he won by a comfortable margin.

So, after a bit of recounting, we learn that Romney fell behind Santorum by 30-ish votes instead of winning by 8. So, not a big deal, you'd think. A close race, victory by a marginal percentage either way. However, CNN and other media types pursued Romney through three different campaign stops...

Huntsman to drop out, endorse Romney I liked Huntsman. :( semi-joking: Only bad people are left! Here's a "related" but very poignant article (read it, it's short!): Romney and Huntsman [and Obama]

BBC Report: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16549624 It is a Newt Gingrich add. How dare he speak a foreign language :rolleyes:

Does anyone want to know why Mitt Romney will never be elected President? Listen to this gobsmacking snippet from an interview with Matt Lauer. Lauer is pressing him to explain how it is that any discussion of wealth distribution is a matter of "envy." His response is to not only to press...

It's election day 2012 in deep south Mississippi. You're a Republican and you have to choose between going to the polls to vote (where the choice is a Mormon and a black guy) or go bowling. You go bowling. In a feat that would have bewildered us only a generation ago a black man actually...

As a brit I'm not forced to hear too much about the odious creature known as Rick Santorum. However one article struck a chord I didn't like too much. 10 things you didn't know about Rick Santorum In amongst a whole heap if far right extremist views, actions and reactions which would be...

Voting has begun in New Hampshire, and the (very) early results are in. Romney, Huntsman tied at 2:2 in New Hampshire’s first vote

Let's start with this low blow from Rom Paul supporters: Huntsman outraged at ad targeting adopted daughters Wow. Just wow. :boggled:

Help me decide who to vote for this week! I'm a registered Republican in NH, and have not a clue who to vote for in the primary. It's a year for writing in "none of the above". However, since I want Obama to win (not his biggest fan but he's way better than the sorry crop of Republicans this...

Who here is actually hoping Ron Paul wins in Iowa just for the entertainment value alone?

Mitt Romney and Ron Paul... http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/12/24/us-usa-campaign-virginia-idUSTRE7BN09E20111224 What the frak is going on in VA? What does it mean when 4 of 6 supposedly viable candidates are excluded from the ballot entirely (VA prohibits write-ins during primaries)? Is...

Have you got what it takes? I'm not tall enough, so fuggedaboudit. But I do love the rich. Maybe a VP slot?

Ah, it's time to start the speculation on the VP race. I was inspired by C. Christie putting out the green light to W. "M." Romney that he's ready to be asked. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1211/70793.html The idea here is to list the VP Maybes even though the GOP nominee is yet to be...

Interesting bit of news: http://edition.cnn.com/2011/12/22/opinion/gergen-obama-resurgence/index.html Why is this payroll tax saga proving to be a vote winner for Obama, and how does he build on that for 2012?

Put this in your pipe and smoke it: GOP in Ron Paul Denial in Iowa Why is the GOP in denial about a man that the newer generation of voters is embracing? Are they truly in as much denial as the Democrats who couldn't see that Obama is really just another Chicago Politician?

I was looking at a story the other day that there has been a HUGE drop in the number of people without health insurance in the USA in the last year or so. see...

This certainly has been one of the most entertaining election cycles in a long time. First it's GOP whack-a-mole and now they are cannibalizing one another. Apparently Michelle Bachmann doesn't hate Muslims, she loves the American people. What about the non-American Muslims? BTW: Guess who...

There has been a lot of talk about Jon Huntsman running a 2016 campaign. The basic logic is that Republicans will have to get more realistic about electing a serious candidate if the current crop is not elected in 2012. In essence, this is more of an issue about the Republicans inability to...

So it's pretty amazing, but Newt's support is just evaporating. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2011/12/newt_in_free_fall.php?ref=fpblg My question is why? Is it really just the attack ads? Is there something happening on right wing talk radio that I missed (because I never listen to...

There are plenty of threads about the Republican nominees and their various faults/issues/reasons to not be elected. Why should Obama be reelected? Without mentioning any Republican nominee tell me why should Obama serve another term. What do you hope he accomplishes in his next term?
