President Barack Obama will win a second term.

[Rex]

And 99.9% of DUers will be voting for him to ensure a second term. Despite all the complaining and worry, we will vote for him again. The bitter taste of GWB doesn't leave the voting palette for at least a decade and no one here wants Rick Perry as POTUS. I'd rather eat my own vomit.

2. I guess I'll be in the 0.1%.

[ixion]

3. me, too

I can't vote for neocon policies, just because there's a (d) in front of their name.

[Rex]

4. If you say so.

I'm just pointing out the obvious.

[fishbulb703]

25. I think he will win, and I think a lot of liberals won't vote, either.

But, more republicans will stay home because their choice is either a Mormon or an evangelical christian.

[joeybee12]

34. Me too...I hope there's a good third party candidate...

Or I'll have to write someone in. Obama is a disaster.

[AverageJoe90]

36. I sincerely don't for the time being.

Sorry, but do we want a repeat of Y2K?

[Autumn]

5. That all depends on what happens down the road to 2012

There are some lines that can not be crossed.

6. You are not impressed by Rick Perry's 2.22 college gpa?

I mean, that is really impressive. I'm sure most people in college can't manage better than a 2.22. Gosh, he was probably top 5% of his class. You sure you want to pass that up?

[Rex]

8. Yeah, I too am an AGGIE with a far better GPA

and I know how hard I had to try to get the GPA! So no, I won't take anything below a solid B+! :hi:

[NOMOREDRUGWAR]

14. Seriously though,

I mean I know colleges have implemented some grade inflation since Perry graduated in 72, but he is either a) below average intelligence or b) just a complete slacker, right? Some Repubs like to talk about how Obama couldn't have flown planes like Perry, but I'm fairly certain that Obama's graduation from Harvard Law magna cum laude confirms that he is light-years above Perry when it comes to intelligence. I'm not even convinced that he wrote his own book - do you think he did? It would be easy to have had a ghost-writer and then just slap his name on it. Conservative governor pays smart Republican intern $50k to write it, and 6 months later, voila, a book! Yay Rick Parry!!!!

[Rex]

21. There is no way he wrote a book or reads anything but his bank

statement! Yeah Obama has credentials that blows away...well just about EVERY person in the GOP! Funny that. Unless some lurker has major creds on a GOP, I would bet Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are the two smartest POTUS we've ever had.

[NOMOREDRUGWAR]

23. Yeah, the only ones on the GOP side who have any

intelligence are Romney and Paul, and Repubs are too stupid to nominate one of those guys. They want the conservative, idiotic bigots like Perry or Palin.

RE: smartest president ever, I'd put Carter and Nixon up there. Nixon was a real son of a bitch, but he had intelligence. And not just book smarts either, but street smarts. I'd say that Clinton, Nixon and Carter were the smartest, in that order.

[BulletproofLandshark]

7. If he wins, it will be in spite of himself.

2012 looks like a choice between a Neville Chamberlain-style coward and whichever double-digit IQ crazy person the right chooses to nominate. Neither will be remotely worthy of my vote.

[LonePirate]

19. You are absolutely correct! The 2012 election offers nothing but bad choices for progressives.

9. Yay!

:cry: :banghead: :cry:

[Dawgs]

10. There's a lot of desperation in this OP. n/t

[HockeyMom]

11. Take back the HOUSE

I think you will see a different President if we do that. How many people who have elected these Teabaggers are now having buyers regret?

[FiveGoodMen]

16. Then why wasn't he on our side when he HAD the House?

[Akoto]

32. He lacked a filibuster-proof majority, and the Repubs used that. n/t

[FiveGoodMen]

33. Huh.

When Bush was in office he had a filibuster-proof MINORITY.

Funny how that works.

[Rex]

20. I feel the Teabaggers were just a trend and nothing more.

[dawg]

12. I hope you're right.

The best thing we have going for us now is the fact that the Republicans are likely to nominate someone so extreme they will turn-off most of the swing-voters.

[babsbunny]

13. no

[Bluebear]

15. Everyone close their eyes and wish real hard! Fired up!

[Rex]

17. I just had to make a pro-Obama thread so next year when the

Political Police ask for verification that I AM a Dem, I can point to this thread as evidence! :hi:

[Bluebear]

18. Absolutely

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. Well as luck would have it, I am in Texas, so it won't matter if I cast a vote for Obama or not.

This state will go with the repug even it's the evil pissant Perry. I will vote for all other Dem candidates, though.

[RiverStone]

24. Ah, we don;t march in lock-step like the pukes!

Progressive for sure - but if you think Obama can abandon his campaign pledge to "heal the earth" without his base noticing....

[Rex]

26. He has hurt his chances next year, no doubt about it.

I just don't think there are enough Perry voters out there for Obama to lose the election. At least, I have never met one and I live in Texas!

[SidDithers]

27. You're right. And posts at DU will not help or hurt that outcome one iota...nt

Sid

[Rex]

28. Exactly!

Some here like to think DU is the epicenter of the Democratic Party! Yeah DU is BIG, but won't affect his chances 'one iota' as you say.

[PFunk]

29. I think you've see alot of dems will just sit home and not vote

Especially those from the base (you know those Obama has 'hippy-punched'/run the bus over). This does not mean Obama wont win. He'll just win by a close margin ONLY because many more think the repug changer will be worse.

You're also see a lot of dems not vote for him in the democratic primary's.

It's looking like the years after 2012-and-2014 will be interresting ones that will point the future for the democratic party.

[Rex]

31. I disagree, those people will 'hold their noses' and vote for Obama

yet not admit to it to friends or in public. I call it the "Rick Perry' effect, since I cannot find ONE person that voted for him in Texas! Even the Neocons I talk to say they hate him and didn't vote for Perry...well SOMEONE did!

[obama14]

30. Shrubs has higher poll ratings then Obama's

Been that way for over a year. People forget quickly.

A year ago shrub was at 47%.
