Obama's] performance by an 81%-14% margin. That’s stronger than President Clinton’s support among Democrats at this point in his term and, according to Gallup, stronger than any Democratic President dating back to Harry Truman through this point in their presidency.”</i><br /><br />There will be no Democratic primary challenge to Pres. Obama. And the Republican candidates are campaigning so far to the right to win their primary, that it will be hard for them to return to the center to win the moderates and independents that a candidate must capture to win the White House.BenT - the unbelievernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-570497968855832694.post-86829846981357065052011-09-16T12:08:08.010-05:002011-09-16T12:08:08.010-05:00No attack, Jimbo.

Of course Fox broke the numerous stories that would have ended any other politician's aspirations in any normal election cycle. The problem is, however...and it's clear you wish to ignore it...that no OTHER news source seemed to care about Barry- o's background and record. There was only ONE news source attempting to vet the candidate. The rest hyped him like he was Jesus Christ himself.

But the fact that Obama has never had to run on his own record is still a factor. This is apparent when we see him trying to shift blame on Congress. Since Obama's never held an executive positions before he doesn't realize that as an executive you can't shift blame. <br /><br />This won't matter to people like Jim, they vote for the party more than the person. If you think about it Obama armed drug lords and Jim will still vote for him.

Obama's not going to win in a landslide. He's not going to win at all.<br /><br />Ulysses S. Grant-- <b><i>Republican</i></b> --another landslide victory; 286 to 66. <br /><br />Again, Obama's not going to win in a landslide. He's not going to win at all. If he were Republican, and of the stripe of Ronald Reagan, or Dwight Eisenhower or Ulysses S. Grant, he might have a chance. But as he's merely a reflection of Jimmy Carter, and a cloudy one at that, he's going to lose. His name will become a byword, and will be remembered as an embarrassing footnote in American presidential politics.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874712703862427318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-570497968855832694.post-82955319952798769622011-09-13T22:38:51.524-05:002011-09-13T22:38:51.524-05:00This has got to be the first time in US history th...<i>This has got to be the first time in US history that a President is running for re-election (of any kind) for the first time in his career.</i><br /><br />Eisenhower, 1956.
