Of course he can be beaten. All anyone has to do is tell the truth about him.

[fhayek]

From 1952 until 2008, every Republican presidential ticket -- except 1964, the year of Barry Goldwater -- included a Nixon, a Bush, or a Dole.

So, in 2008, who was the Nixon and who was the Dole? I thought it was a McCain and and Palin, but I am just a simple soul from the country, so, I could be wrong.

[TheThinker]

We’ve got some good candidates in the House. We just need someone competent and normal. Those are two things Obama is not.

[Lazlo in PA]

Unlike past Republican races, there is no establishment candidate or heir apparent who automatically picks up the mantle.

Really Ed? The way the establishment is pushing the hell out of Romney you could fool me. "Walking Around Money" Rollins needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Obamunism is being rejected like a bad organ transplant.
It isn't compatible with America.

He's lost and burned bridges with many swing voters he suckered in to voting for him.

All it takes is a few percent.

Any competent republican can beat him. Now, what happens if we have the PeROT factor again? That has me concerned.

[toddausauras]

If Palin runs, just sit back and watch Obama’s nightmare materialize.

[BIGLOOK]

I wonder....if some of the state's elections officer will call into question his eligibility to be on their respective states' ballots. If so, the court battles over the eligibility issue will disrupt his campaign and bankrupt the DNC.

But who will be bankrupt first? US or them?

Obviously , a lot can happen between now and the 2012 election . If I were a betting man , I would bet that Obama is re-elected . Those who got the community organiser in the WH are not finished destroying what’s left of the USA . The Republicrats make me almost as sick as the Democans ( thanks MS ) . The 2 party system sucks bigtime , to put it mildly .

[Impy]

Does a bear fornicate in the woods?

[maddog55]

There’s some neighborhoods around here he’d most certainly get beaten in !

[MagnoliaB]

Did anyone poll the dead, nonexistent and illegal voters that got him elected the last time?

[flowerplough]

Probably not. He's got the stupid-people vote, the selfish vote, the female vote, the Jewish vote, the government-dependent vote, the abortion, abortion, uber alles vote, the I-want-"free"-health-care-vote, the college-kid vote, the illegal-alien vote, the black vote, the union vote, the facebook-addicted's vote, the twitter-twatters' vote, the white-guilt vote, and the print and broadcast media's undying, never-ending slavish love and devotion. We're pretty much doomed.

"The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a ‘warm body’ democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self-restraint of citizens… which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it… which for the majority translates as ‘Bread and Circuses.’

‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome."

"Can Obama be beaten?"

Of course, you just have to get him to go to Egypt and wear a blond wig.
