#1 The worst possible president at the worst possible time.

Given our creeping socialism, it may be the best thing that could have happened. If people recognize it and take advantage of it.

#3 Isn't that up to American voters...

Only partially. If the Republicans can't field a candidate worth snot and several 3rd party ones come out, Obama can win by just holding onto his base who are willing to go over the cliff with him.

A strong center-right Republican candidate with a history of fiscal responsibility with the ability to be diplomatic and yet get things done will win by a landslide. Another McStain will bring about Obama part 2.

#5 Financial conservatism + solid record + zero kook factor = Republican POTUS in 2013.

We Republicans have to be big kids during the primary. No fighting among ourselves. No Ron Paul. No search for a candidate that believes 100% of what we do - or else we take our balls and go home. 60%-80% works for me when I agree with Obama on 10%-20%. Maybe.

If we do this right we can maybe - maybe - hold our country together. A second term for Obama will spell doom for our republic.

#6 Three out of four times McCain is in the news, I get a twinge of voter's remorse.

#7 Who will miss his money-toss at any problem?

He had a plan to get elected.

He had no plan to run the country.

#8 Herman Cain is a good answer to this puzzle.

#9 People say we don't have another Regan. I say we do.Should an individual with his traits (man or woman) could turn this country around on a dime. Media will attack, Rino's, Dino's and the regressive left will attack. Just do as he did and reduce government and regulation. Our country is different because of our constitution. Each person working to better themselves improves life for all of us. Look how we have helped so many in other countries. I don't see China doing that. People came here to better themselves this must be fostered. With our system we will have bounty with the current government we will have to make do with less.

#10 Umm Dale, I didn't quite understand your post.

If Obama needs to go, he should eat more fiber and lay off the cheese.

Ummm, no, Darth and Grom, it's much, much worse than that. Looks like National Review is starting to actively promote the candidacy of...wait for it, wait for it...Jeb!

If the Trunks insist on committing an act of such breathtaking, self-immolating stupidity, not only will I VOTE for Obama, I'll volunteer to work for his campaign. I can't stand that treasonous Marxist affirmative-action baby, but I'd be more willing to take a chance on four more years of him - restrained by an aggressive, Tea Party-dominated Republican House and Senate - than on yet another Kennebunkport commando farming out control over our energy policy to Riyadh and our immigration policy to Mexico City.
