Me personally, racist, extremist, homophobe, xenophobe islamophobe, etc are so worn out. I would prefer being labelled as DRACONIAN. That would have a special meaning to me because there is some Slavic and Hungarian ancestory in my family. Heck, for all I know, good old Vlad the Impaler could’ve been a distant cousin or even a great grandfather of mine. So for me, being called Draconian has a sentimental ring to it :-)
There is simply no way he will be able to fire up any remaining base he has left. The best he can hope for is a luke warm crowd of people looking for handouts.
His campaign rallies should be hilarious! "Uhhh, I uhhh need you to still have hope in all that change I've been working on. Fist bump? Anyone? Round of golf?"

We need Change. It's our only Hope.
That would be a good change. It's been ugly for the American people for 2½ years now.
The uglier the BETTER. . . .
Unfortunately, this is August 2011, not 2012. Many things might happen between now and then.
I predict another diversion, something that will take the MSM and whip them into a frenzy.
Like a manufactured assassination attempt?
Just guess we will have to wait and see, all Obama has done is nothing but diversions.
There’s pretty much no way Obama can win a two-way race at this point, barring some major turnaround in public perception, regardless of who the GOP puts up against him. (Romney may be an exception, as his record on government takeover of healthcare and for corporate bailouts take away two of the key differentiators to Obama.)
That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see “third party” candidate created, likely to split the independent vote. Basically, someone Obama can run to the left of while the stalking horse candidate gobbles up the part of the mushy middle that would be more reluctant to vote GOP.
“..a level not seen since the recession days of March 2009.
The fact that anybody, can with a straight face, ever insist that we came out of a recession...is an incredible public measure of delusion.
If so, let the record show ahead of time that the thugs burning down buildings and looting businesses will be Urkel's and Holder's people, not Tea Partiers.
it will only be ugly enough when he is in 5th place in a three man primary.
