Nice to see you again, Roger. Nicely written as always, though I don’t agree with all of it. You’re going to get flamed, of course, but you’ve always handled that well.

At the rate the economy is tanking, an Obama reelect is not a lock.

Don your asbestos suit, Roger. Some on this site won’t brook any criticism of Saint Ronnie.

[sevinufnine]

a gay for Obama. How fitting

Thanks and I know. Reagan was the greatest leader the RINO movement will ever know and self-described conservatives are still suffering from the brain-washing.

Mitt Romney (code-name: Chameleon)

He will be the nominee...

LOL! And yet, for all their love of the man, they didn't recognize that Obama ran on his social policy agenda. How can they love him if they do not know him?

That would surprise me, and I'm at least pretty good at predicting presidential election results. (I've generally not tried to predict primaries, but have a perfect score on general elections - in 2008, I predicted Obama's victory several months in advance - that's what this article is about.)

The GOP won the women’s vote in 2010.

I’m hardly brainwashed, but may I point out that when Reagan assumed the presidency, there was a Soviet Union

and when he left, there was no Soviet Union.

That’s all I have to know. I haven’t forgotten the threat.

/And, yes, W will go down as one of the five or six lousiest presidents ever.

[warchild9]

Oh, and Reagan was uncompromisingly pro-life.

Anti-communist + pro-life = conservative.

In my book.

Not being confrontational, just sayin’...

[biff]

Does that mean he is happy?????

A somewhat scatological analysis that has serious omissions. 2012 will be a referendum on Obama and his policies. "Hope and Change" now has a record.

Lots of references made to the 2008 election. No mention of the 2010 "shellacking" of the Dems that was of historic proportions and gained control back of the House from the Dems. It was a watershed event similar to the Dem takeover of Congress in the 2006 midterms, which foreshadowed the huge Dem victory in 2008.

Female voters have turned their backs on President Obama in droves, a development that Democrats vow to reverse as Mr. Obama gears up his re-election campaign.

In 2008, women helped deliver the presidency to Mr. Obama, voting for the Democrat 56 percent to 43 percent over Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican. Men split their votes between the two candidates almost evenly.

2012 will be one of the most vicious and polarizing elections in our history. Obama will pull the race, ethnic, and gender cards. He will have huge amounts of money. But ultimately, the economy will be the decisive factor.

The more his dementia set in the more liberal he got.

[RogerFGay]

As the definition of “conservative” gets narrower and narrower and has no longer has anything to do with preserving the American way. What good was it to defeat Russian communists and then adopt Russian communism?

[ConservativeStatement]

I forget where I heard it, but someone (maybe Bernie Goldberg) commented that people remain supportive of Obama because of superficial reasons like his smile. There are too many people who judge a Presidential election as if it is American Idol. They aren’t judging policies and have minimal depth when they vote.

[warchild9]

Subsequent events have nothing to do with Reagan. He is dead.

You were the one who brought him up, and I am specifically addressing that.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I am afraid that no matter how you try you will not be able to defeat President Reagan in any election.

Repost this article in 2013.

Personally, I wouldn’t bet a nickel on Obama.
