It's fairly obvious that, unless something completely insane and unprecedented happens, Obama will be re-elected.

The GOP is, at this point, eating it's own candidates alive (always the threat is a primary) and so far the MOST consistently popular candidate is Mitt Romney. (Hilariously, this could be the mirror or 2004, when a struggling Democrat party choose a certain Massachusetts Senator as its candidate... remember what happened?)

A few things that should be clear at this point:

- The party refuses to align behind Ron Paul. That's not gonna change. Sorry guys.
- The party is very scared of Obama... one poor debate and they've started sticking the knife into Rick Perry... not because of his (insane) policies, but because of his performance. They think he can't win. They're right.
- The Tea Party won't have a real say in the outcome of the primaries (Bachmann is toast, Perry is floundering and the businessmen are winning...looks like we may get another CEO Presidential candidate.... just like Bush Jr.)

So, what does this all mean?

Well, look... do ANY of you think that Romney can ACTUALLY beat Obama? Really?

So, unless someone with a REAL chance (sorry Sarah) enters the field, expect a pretty definitive Obama win.

And whose to blame? The GOP of course. They allowed their ranks to be swamped with ideologues and now their party is completely divided.

Good news for those that don't like Republican "policies" (that's me) but bad news for those that like white rich guys as President.

how can anyone be to "blame"? i thought the majority of voters decide who wins and becomes president... surely if the blame lies with anyone its the American public?

Ahh, so naive!
The American public doesn't decide,
they decide what they are told to.

Sorry to pick on you, but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to make a serious point.

seriously

That is like saying Jimmy Carter would have been re-elected

Both came into office as Democrats, both did absolutely nothing, both listened to the bankes, and both have the deer in the head light look as being president is too much for them.

TPTB, realize this sham currently filling in the potus, has too many issues such as solyndra.

i say not only NO, but Hell no

The GOP could score a big sweep in both houses and President if they would adopt a platform other than
"we're not Obama"

Granted, people are disgusted with Obama but if the GOP doesn't come up with a campaign of substance; It will be like Palin/McCain all over again.

And If the TPM splits the vote with write ins; The dembs win again.

Should be interesting and entertaining.

Obama being re-elected would be insane and unprecedented, not to mention irresponsible.

Four more years of the current state that things are in and probably getting worse? Insane defiantly.

It would be the death nell of the Democratic party as well as liberal politics. For at least a decade if not longer.

But maybe that’s the plan all along?

Is he the sacrificial goat?
