"Each and every voting bloc that supported him in 2008 has eroded by at least 10 points -- even the African-American voters, with independents and young voters dropping by over 30 points."

If those polls are accurate, Daffy Duck could beat Obama. IIRC, In 2008, he got indies almost 3:2 and the yutes about 2:1.

Doesn't matter. We could nominate Elmer Fudd and still beat Obama. Our argument should not be if we can beat Obama but who do we want to win with and why.

We are in dire need of a president that can move the senate and house and the American people into radical reform mode to get control of runaway government. It is for that reason I support Newt Gingrich. It is why I really wanted Sarah Palin to run.

IMO, neither Romney nor Santorum have any desire to take on the "powers that be" in DC. I DO NOT support them at all.

The GOP candidate is irrelevant. Obama has lost to the economy. I predicted this in 2008.

Elmer Fudd could beat Obama in the next election. People will vote AGAINST Obama, not FOR a Republican.

That’s really the only question at this point. The one time the party had to get it right,simply had to.

You beat me to it. Obama sometimes reminds me of (my favorite team) the 1972 Miami Dolphins, who went unbeaten playing in a division of very weak teams. Looking at the current crop of Republicans, I could imagine Obama winning by default, with the help of a loyal media and corrupt unions and city political machines. The sight of a Chavez-like Obama facing off against a House and Senate of Republicans and a population disgusted at his leadership would be the stuff of legends... although if I had to come up with a scenario for American dictatorship, this would have to be the best for the people as a whole - Obama using the executive branch as a hammer, with the legislature squared off against him, and the people and states in disarray... better than Civil War, that’s for sure, and more like the Glorious Revolution in England, where elites fought the elites.

We’ll see. Interesting times ahead. God help us.
