At least from the way it looks now, the debate over the general election will be sufficiently defined that he will have a mandate - and the wherewithal to do something about it.

I too will be voting for Obama, just hope if he does win he will be tougher the second time around. With the Republican party taking the positions it has been I'll have even a hard time voting for a local candidate.

He won't. That's the whole point. Realistically there is little to no difference between the two.
Why do you think I call Mitt "Robamaney"?
Now there are significant differences between Obama and Gingrich.
But, I HATE Newt with such a passion that if Satan himself popped up out of a smoking hole, horns and all and took Obamas place-----I'd seriously consider a vote for Satan.

Half of the stuff they sat Obama promised and never delivered was all in people's imagination. Everyone on the left figured he was a lefty, he is not and never has been. Regarding the "war on Terror" Bush talked the talk, Obama walked the walk. He got Bin Laden and has been taking out Al queda leaders left and right with the Predators all without any fanfare. I will vote for him again, I would as soon drink kool aid as vote for ANY of those GOP clowns, and sure as hell not for a 1%er.

You know, I watched the Santorum/Piers Morgan interview last night.
Now, there are some things about the guy that run against my grain a little.
But, you know what?
It struck me during the interview that this guy is actually the closest thing to the real Christian family man, that the rest falsley claim to be. He actually seems like a decent, somewhat honest guy (For a politician and aside from that somewhat racist comment he made in Iowa. Or was it New Hampshire?)
Come to think of it, Obama is more of a devoted family man than that fatheaded, philandering dick Gingrich will ever be.
Could Santorums relative decency possibly be his downfall in todays venom spitting GOP?

I believe Santorum to be a decent and honest man, but there are many decent and honest men that I wouldn't want to walk in the front door of the White House. I actually believe that he has some concerns for working people, but not enough to step in the way of the corporatocracy. He would try to assert far too much influence over private lives.
Regards,
D-Ray

In the long run this OPEN MARRIAGE business is not going away. This is not going to sit well with the ladies. They are going to burn Newt!
Romney is fumbling his taxes! 
What inept bumbling!

+1. Were it not for his stance on social issues, I could consider backing him. OTOH, without his stance on social issues, he would be a pretty empty suit.

Talking of empty suits, how many of you figure $374,000 is not much money?
