Title: What GOP candidate can defeat Obama? Post by: 21st Century Independent on March 27, 2010, 03:19:29 AM Okay, list the individual that you believe is able to defeat Obama in 2012.
My pick is General Petraeus. I don't think he will run, but then again, he can say he had to do it for the country he loves and has sacrificed his life for. It might just pan out. Furthermore, the GOP needs someone that hasn't flip flopped like a fish out of water and one that is not tied to congress in any way. It really has to be an outsider to hammer down the Washington inside the belt way democrats and the President. I realize many of you will say that the era of the Gen. as President is over. However, I am starting to see a resurgence due to someone like Petraeus. Title: Re: What GOP candidate can defeat Obama?

Someone like Snowe or Collins could win if they chose a very conservative VP, in my opinion. Title: Re: What GOP candidate can defeat Obama?

Post by: pbrower2a on March 27, 2010, 02:20:53 PM President Obama would have to sabotage himself for any Republican nominee to defeat him. He just has too many political strengths.

Title: Re: What GOP candidate can defeat Obama? Post by: tmthforu94 on March 27, 2010, 03:36:39 PM President Obama would have to sabotage himself for any Republican nominee to defeat him. He just has too many political strengths. And the Republican Party has already sabotaged itself. Even if we should double dip, the GOP has handed Obama's re-election campaign- as Sarah would say- enough ammo to return fire: record-shattering use of the filibuster, transparent obstruction for what the public sees as political reasons, cynical and easy-to-point-out hypocrisy, and a distasteful rejection of civility for incendiary hyperbole that's having some ugly consequences. This is without even knowing what the specific vulnerabilities the Republican nominee will end up having. As for the unimpressive field to choose him or her from, it tells you something when, in a discussion about what Republican could beat Obama, the first name thrown out is a guy who gave a Shermanesque statement the day before that he'd never run for office. And he might not even be a Republican. Title: Re: What GOP candidate can defeat Obama?

Wise money figures 2016 at the least now. |
