Thank god for that slim majority that continue to reject Palin. That's the only thing that keeps my hope alive for this country. Romney is the right man for the job, however.

any poll taken shows dems winning, just look at the last 2 election. Hell they even had Mondale and Dukakis winning. All polls pretty much show democrats winning. Don't let these numbers worry you Republican friends.

Oh yeah, there were those polls in 1999 where Gore had his awesome negative 30 point lead.

Not those of March and April 2008.

Mondale and Dukakis are now more relevant to any GOP nominee for President in 2012. Take your pick -- or take Adlai Stevenson or Bob Dole.

For good reason the 2006 and 2008 elections showed the Democrats doing well -- more precisely the Republicans doing badly. The GOP was doing badly then, wasn't it?

If you look at the behavior of elected GOP members of Congress with their lockstep voting, you can recognize that the GOP has taken a high-stakes gamble with the potential for big wins -- or big losses. Time alone will tell whether that gamble pays off.

Please, oh please nominate this nutjob.  The Obama landslide that follows will be the most epic win for the Democrats since 1964.

I'm sure ppl had that mindset after Clinton embarrassed the country by admitting to an affair that he shouldn't have admitted to. You took my word "any" out of context. Don't count your chickens before they hatch either. Dukakis blew a 17 point lead in 1988. I believe that is a 28 point swing.

Obama maintains a constant 50% + or - favorability which is half the country.  This means that the righty will get somewhere in the 40s and be whooped.  I predict that the 2012 nominee on the right will be a token and nothing more while the right waits it out until 2016.

Barring some major scandle, O is here to stay.

What do you mean by favorable? I'm more critical of Obama than the Jews were of the Third Reich and even I see a good dad in him. That doesn't mean I'm voing for him. People want to say they view someone favorably. That's like on the other forum where I posted 2 different ways to ask about his reelection chances.

1. Under the current circumstances of unemployment and sporadic terror plots would you vote to reelect Obama as commander in chief?

2. Do you want to get rid of Obama?

Heck I barely say yes to number 2.

I'm sure too that even though Bush Sr. only got 38% of the PV that most people viewed him as a favorable person. McCain and Obama both had favorable ratings in the upper 50's by the election 2 years ago.

Incumbent Presidents running for re-election have won 13 of the last 18 times (going back to McKinley in 1900 -- Cleveland was a fluke). Unless the incumbent President is a certifiable at something serious (like having no agenda, having no experience in even statewide campaigns, mishandling an economic catastrophe or diplomatic calamity) failure, the incumbent wins. Dubya won in 2004, dammit! Maybe the consequences of his lies and his economic bungling took place too late to prevent his re-election.

God forbid that President Obama should get elected despite such -- which implies that I hope that he does nothing bad.

I'm surprised he does as badly as the polls shows against Huckabee and Romney.  I am also surprised he doesn't do better in this poll against Palin.  His numbers should be higher all across the board here.  The fact the they're not ought to be disturbing to Dems.

For the record, I think he would beat all the above listed potential Republican candidates.  That is, of course, unless he has some MAJOR screw up between now and oh 12.

Huckabee does extremely well in the South because he fits the political culture (see Bill Clinton). Elsewhere?

Huckabee could win some southern states by 30% and still lose 55-45 to Obama because of the Blue Firewall in which a majority can be expected to vote against any Southern reactionary as a Presidential nominee.

That's true too. "Ordinary"? Define ordinary. Ordinary to me is conservative values where the man goes out to work each day like the cavemen did and the woman stay home and raises the children because it is natural to our species. Stop trying to sing your sad song in order to get people to vote democrat.
