It doesn't matter how unhappy I could become with the President. As a lefty, I won't take out any anger on broken campaign promises by voting for a righty. That would be counter productive.

No offense to you at all, RE, but i gotta laugh at the US political landscape. Only in America would Obama be considered a "lefty".

Yeah.. I know..

He's the best Democrat a Republican could ever hope for. He actually gets rank and file democrats to vote for and support right wing legislation. It's a brilliant coupe of sorts. If he was white there wouldn't be as much opposition towards him as there is from the Republican Party.

I'll likely vote for Obie because he has done a great job with foreign policy and even though he blew healthcare and the money for the stimulus the GOP answer on healthcare is worse.

Also at least Obie's principles are healthy for the USA even if he can't do much to implement them. The GOP is simply out to screw you and I.

I have no desire to support any group that believes in magic as does the GOP on social issues.

While it may require me to stick a clothespin on my nose, I'll turn out and vote against him.

I'll vote for me and whomever I think represents my ideals. There's far too much certainty that the President will win handily. Pride engenders an electoral backlash every time. There's the impenetrable bubble often trotted out by the Dems to characterize the Retreads but watch out for the teflon bubble the Dems are in. Voters hate assholes dancing a gleeful victory jig before an election and will turn out and turn on such incumbents.

This isn't the going to be the slam donk that my fellow Dems are predicting.
Remember Reagan, Nixon, Shrub....? Ignore history at your peril boys and girls.
Cause it ain't in the bag yet.

Well, since Herman Cane is no longer in the running for the job, chased off by by the Democrats Black Operations Devision, selecting a viable Commander in Lies is becoming very difficult ?

I was hoping Rick Perry was the man, but he fell quickly during the debates ?

Herman Cane seemed very interesting, until the d.b.o.o. took him out ? I believe his pure heritage scared Obama, as Obama has done nothing for his people during this recession, nothing. And the Black Community is looking for some Real Change, not empty promises from Barock, who is only a Black Man when He Needs Your Vote Obama.

Ron Paul is a great candidate, but everyone puts him down because he does not look Presidential ? At least he is still viable ?

John Bolton ? It would be nice if would have run.

Condoleezza Rice ? The First Black Women President, I'd vote for her if she was on the ticket. She has the intestinal fortitude for the job. And she has a great voice and is pleasant to look at

Donald Trump ? Even the Donald lies better than the group we have there now. He shows promise !

I is a sad state of affairs we have here today ?
