I’m skeptical that any Republican can win the Presidency in the foreseeable future. As far as I can tell, this country is headed towards Euro-Socialism. Where Europe is today, we’ll be in 50 years (or less).

Let’s hope I’m wrong. Heck, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Run a “right wing nut” and see what happens. It hasn’t been tried since Reagan.

I think that if we ever get a decent President again, it’ll be either by accident or a military coup, because we’ve become Ancient Rome.

That a boy, make a harsh prediction then give us two strong reasons to doubt your ability and self confidence in making predictions.........

Just because we seem caught in a bad movie, by no means is any indication of voter sentiment 3 years out.

Lets work on 2014 for now! Things are looking very positive toward 2014 and control of the House and Senate will change everything including nobama.

Agreed, although I think an effective leader could win over enough people. We weren’t that far last year. Florida was razor thin. Virginia could have been won. Ohio and the Midwest is where we have problems and have to figure out how to turn the tide. Sme of this is a natural back and forth between parties. Some of it is a gradual slide to a failed euro-style welfare state. I think we have to hope that the unusual mix of campaign skill of the Obama team and race politics is one of huge underlying aspects of this election. Could a Hillary or Cuomo or someone else be subbed in with the same effectiveness? I don’t know. If we had a better candidate and they had a less effective candidate, how would it look different?

I hate to tell you, but you are honestly not 50 years behind where we are in the EU, you are much much closer than you think.
