Obama In 2012: Prelude To The Games...

I would bet money Obama will not get re-elected.

I have a difficult time imagining how Obama would NOT get re-elected. Then again, you guys voted Bush in twice, so nothing would surprise me.

Look, it's nowhere close to campaign season, and he's already turning his charm on again:

Just wait until campaign season actually kicks in. Like it or not, a good number of problems in the US is because of Obama's lack of being an asshole, and the Republicans insistence on being obstructionist. When campaign season comes, Obama and the Democrats are going to drag the Republicans through the mud.

Gotta say, I love myself a US election. Way better than any reality TV show out there. :)
 
Two thought experiments...

First, CNN's Cafferty noted the following yesterday (link):

Looks like some Democrats are having buyer's remorse when it comes to President Obama and wishing they had gone with Hillary Clinton instead.

What if Clinton ran against Obama in the primaries? Do you think she'd win?

And if so, would she beat Romney? [1]


Second thought experiment...

Suppose you were running each contestant's [2] campaign. How would you destroy your opponents' chances of winning the contest? If you're on Team Obama, how would you go after Romney? If you're on Team Perry, how would you go after Obama?

Politicians, aspiring and incumbent, haven't changed much. Neither have voters, who continue to be herded like cattle. lol



[1] my crystal ball says Perry is a non-issue.

[2] yes, as in "game show" contestant.
