Obama’s bleeding out indies left and right. The winner of the Republican primary will probably be the winner of the 2012 election. This is due to the fact that most sitting presidents with a horrible economy go on to lose the election. It happened with Reagan, it will happen with Palin, people are not going to want $5.00 a gallon gas or a 10% unemployment rate. If the economy is still in a rut Obama will lose to the GOP.
I will say this to that, there’s no guarantee that the economy will still be in a rut in 2012 and, if it is, the Republicans will have to share about 33.3% of the blame this time around. Personally, I’m hoping the fight doesn’t revolve around 2 more years of economic downturn. I can’t afford that fight. Unfortunately, I think the economy will still be tanked in 2012 and I am not happy to say it. 2 years is an eternity in politics too.
