Reply #53: I am not a "my President, right or wrong" kind of guy. I have been disappointed with Obama [View All]

as many have here. But I am also a realist and have had first hand experience here in WI as to what Republicans do when they control everything. I cannot imagine the kind of hell that would be on the national level.

As good as it looks for Obama now, things could change dramatically in a year from now. If we get a double dip recession and the economy is still in the crapper with high unemployment things will be a lot tougher for Obama. If Republicans get a candidate who is perceived as not being extreme to the middle (hard core Republicans, unlike many Democrats, are likely to support the party nominee) along with a bad economy it will be tough.

Republicans certainly do not need help from Democrats in trying to defeat Obama.

Let me close with saying that if this were 2008 and I knew then what I know now I would not have supported Obama in the Wisconsin primary, but I absolutely would have supported and voted for him in the general election against McCain because I clearly understand that the president will either be a Democrat or a Republican and I know what Republicans do.

I will pick the Democrat with all of their flaws, faults, and disappointments over any Republican any time.
