Someone mention the next trumped up crisis?
There may be something to this, but involving Mormons at this point in the game. Sorry, looks like desperation time to me.
I know what you’re talking about. I recall back when Bush 41 ran against Clinton. The “official” pronouncements before the election had the economy appearing like it was in the toilet. However, two weeks after the election I was in deer stand in a cornfield in northwest Indiana about a mile from a rail road. That rail line ran non-stop Saturday & Sunday, and I thought it was awfully busy for being such a bad economy. The business decisions that had those trains running had been made weeks or months earlier. The following week the Commerce Department “revised” their figures. Upward. Radically. I had no doubt they torpedoed Bush.
They really WANT to hold off the official announcement, but there are too many private entities out there doing forecasts and making pronouncements. Economists in various banks, think-tanks and academia will let the cat out of the bag. I think this is so bad, and the timing will be so far ahead of the election that they can’t keep a lid on it.
“Real approval or according to the media? Carters approval had to have been nearly as low as Nixons at this point. Reagan did not have it locked up, if I remember correctly, and the only way he avoided a floor fight at the convention was by co-opting President Bush 41 by offering him the VP.”
You remember incorrectly. Bush 41 had an impressive string of late primary victories but the math showed he could not catch Reagan and he politely dropped out. Then the rumor got out that Ford was going to be the VP pick and some kind of “co presidency” would occur. When the “co presidency” thing started being talked about, that is when Reagan put the kabosh on that idea and picked Bush 41. Both Ford and Bush were considered due to their military and foreign policy experience.
WHICH BRINGS US TO HILLARY. If the polls keep going down for Obama watch for her to replace Biden.
Do you understand that a country where 43% of the people APPROVE of Obama is doomed?
Who is your candidate? Goode? That Freeper Hoofling or whatever?
How do I find out who my delegate is? Where is the list?
Since he or she is most likely a private citizen are you telling me to relentlessly harrass this person on the phone?
Please.
I’m not surprised if I remember incorrectly. I was very young and it was a long time ago. Obama is smart enough to know better than to place his own heartbeat in between Hillary! and the White House.
