Sadly, that pretty much sums it up.

Now we're beginning the second half. The Donks are committed to running with their PPACA offense, while the Repukes have moved Cruz to the middle linebacker slot.
This is not the critical game. We're talking about the 2014 rematch, where the Donks in the senate currently have app 20 on injured reserve, while the Repukes have only app 13.
What is important at this point is to see how many people can get healthy enough in 2014 to field for the great rematch in 2016.
And the winner gets the trophy. And we get to pay for it.
And once that is over, we all can piss and moan and bitch and groan until next season.
And we get to pay for that one as well.

Continuing Chas' football analogy, with all the corporate money the 'actual football game' is becoming unimportant. It's the movie about the football game that counts. So talent for actually executing plays is no longer the thing, it's who can be made to LOOK really talented, in the movie.
I was talking about televangelist-type politicians before. What if this idea is really developed, with modern FX? We'll have Presidential candidates doing miracles! Very believable miracles!
And those old Roman Emperors thought they were gods!

Personally, I think he's no more than a mouthpiece for the people who put him in power in the first place.

Hmmm. Who are these people, and what do they want?

I can agree with that analysis.

I think Christie wins IF Hillary does not run.
He cannot take the states Obama did if Hillary is there. Christie may be able to win the purple states if she does not run. Biden vs Christie is much more competitive race.
If the economy is still on the upswing and Obamacare is seen as a success by then Biden may beat Christie.
If I was Christie I would really be pushing full blast for Immigration reform right now. It is a no brainer for him.

IMO, if the Dems run Biden the Repubs have a much better chance of winning.

Yes
but it has to be Christie
no one else is moderate enough right now to be competitive
Huntsman would be a dark horse perhaps

I don't understand why everyone picks on Joe, his was the only sensible solution for Iraq.
