President Perry.

[cali]

Obama looks more and more like a one termer to me. Of course to some extent, that depends who his opponent is. I suspect it will be Perry, and I think Perry will win handily.

[Palmer Eldritch]

1. I laughed out loud at this post.

Take it to the limit!!!

and beyond.

How mad are ya????

I'm picturing Yosemite Sam.

[cali]

3. huh? not even remotely mad. don't give up your day job for

a mind reading gig.

I think there's a very good chance, for a myriad of reasons, that Obama will not be re-elected.

[Palmer Eldritch]

5. I bet you said that the first time, too.

Obama will be around for 4 more years. You had best get used to it.

[cali]

7. as I said, don't give up your day job, dear. And if you'd been around

DU in 2007-2008, you'd know that I was an early and fervent supporter of the President's, and I'm not an opponent now- though I've become quite a bit more ambivalent. I see him as vulnerable- in part due to his own actions/inaction and in part due to circumstance.

[Palmer Eldritch]

14. so ambivalent that you're willing to thrust Rick Perry onto DU's Collective Conscience?

Seems pretty unproductive.

[cali]

18. bwahahahahaha. you are a comedian. yes, yes. if I didn't bring up Perry

he wouldn't exist. Pretty dark in that hole in the sand you've thrust your little head in, isn't it?

[Palmer Eldritch]

29. You're the only person I've ever seen lend Perry any credence.

Your prediction of Obama's loss doesn't worry me in the slightest because it comes from the same fortune teller who thinks Rick Perry has a shot.

[Cereal Kyller]

37. There is a possibility that Obama could lose...

.....but not to Rick Perry! :rofl:

[joshcryer]

41. The best thing about the whole thing? All the original Obama supporters imploding.

Just imploding, losing all hope, completely disillusioned. Going in to this I knew that it wasn't going to be magical, regardless of who the party picked.

It's actually kinda sweet from a "Oh god those primaries were hell" thing, but yeah, I pity most of those people anyway.

21. Really? Or are you just telling us what you HOPE happens...

Because I am about convinced many here want a Republican to win in 2012. Seriously, I am!

[Fire1]

36. And when they're all eating dog food, I will be

LMAO!!!:nopity: :rofl:

[jefferson_dem]

2. Oh, totally!

:spray:

[cali]

4. so you think Obama is unbeatable? wow.

[Palmer Eldritch]

6. by any of the Clowns the GOP has lined up, yes.

[cali]

9. I think Perry has a very good chance of beating Obama if he's the nominee- clown or not

Does the name George W. Bush ring a bell? Do you think he was a clown? Do you have any memory of how people saw him as a joke?

I hate to break this to you, but clowns can, have and will, win the Presidency. Historical knowledge is a good thing to possess. Consider obtaining some, hon.

[Palmer Eldritch]

15. The United States will never elect a Secessionist, sorry.

[MrDiaz]

23. Yea and the United States

would never have voted bush in the office, especially the second term right?

[Palmer Eldritch]

30. Rick Perry is not the sitting President. He's a joke. Even amongst Repukes.

[jefferson_dem]

8. Who said unbeatable?

You said Obama was destined to lose...to Rick Perry. Certainly, Obama's no shoo-in but his odds are easier better than 50/50, especially given the wackball Repug alternatives.

Unless you can provide actual evidence rather than emotion to back up your doom and gloom I'll keep :spray:.

Go here for lots of blue in the lead: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/president_obama_vs_republican_candidates.html

Also, recall the latest poll had Obama beating Perry ... in TEXAS. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/06/poll-perry-trails-obama-in-texas.php

[cali]

10. Polls this early are not something I put a lot of stock in.

And yes, I think Perry would beat Obama. I don't see any of the other candidates doing so- with the possible exception of Romney, but Perry brings the South and quite possibly Florida, as well as western states. And that's logic, not emotion.

[jefferson_dem]

11. Oh...

Ok. Dismiss the actual evidence and go with your gut.

I suspect the Obama camp would relish the chance to run against... and expose "Governor Goodhair". Sane voters, including white suburbanites, will be turned off by Perry's secessionist tendencies. "Bush / Texas fatigue" will also become a major part of the narrative.

Perry might bring most of the south but, as before, FL, NC, and VA will definitely be in play. And Perry should get royally spanked throughout the midwest and in CO, NM, IA...

Guess we'll see. Take care. :hi:

[Cali_Democrat]

12. That's pretty out there

1) You think Rick Perry will win the Republican nomination?
2) You think Rick Perry will beat Obama?

This seems pretty far fetched if you ask me.

Perry is a joke.

[great white snark]

13. Were'nt you leaving the party after SS cuts would be announced during the SOTU?

And you're still making predictions?

16. George Will is promoting him. And he gets his orders from on high.

[nevergiveup]

19. Romney is a real threat.

Perry, not so much. The guy has good hair but that is about it.

[KingFlorez]

20. Uh, no

It's totally delusional to even actually believe that. I think that's what you want to happen, though. Most everything you post seems to be negative about Democrats.

[Safetykitten]

22. I don't think so with the Perry thing, but Obama will not be re-elected, that's a fact.

[Palmer Eldritch]

35. What will you do with yourself when he is?

[MrDiaz]

24. Bush was

The same as this clown Perry, and nobody thought he would win either. Lol I believe he was called a joke kinda like you all are calling Perry a joke. Well I do think Obama will lose even though I will vote for him, but it is because he losing his base.

[Tarheel_Dem]

34. Where is your evidence that "he is losing his base"? DU?

:rofl:

[somone]

25. A very distinct possibility

His secessionist bullshit notwithstanding, Goodhair enjoys wide recognition and support both among crazies and non-crazies. He is a formidable, ruthless politician with a lot of dirty tricks up his sleeve.

[ProSense]

26. Will this happen

because a lot of Democrats will stay home and Independents will vote Republican?

Is that the theory?

"I didn't say I was staying home, I meant someone else will!!!!"

How does Obama lose if Democrats vote?

Are Democrats planning to sabotage the election to ensure a Perry win?

[tomm2thumbs]

27. curious if you have a thought as to who he might pick as VP - that can do a lot

look at what it did to John McCain?

31. Katy Perry?

I would be er.... up for that.

[RBInMaine]

32. What a CRAZY JOKE of a post this is.

[tcaudilllg]

33. The only place that criminal belongs is a cell.

[Blasphemer]

38. Why Perry?

I have been convinced of an Obama re-election since '08 but I must admit, the rumored tax cut deal gave me pause and made me reconsider this stance. The man is more capable of self-destruction than I ever imagined. Still, I think Romney has the best shot in the GE against Obama. Why do you think it will be Perry?

[wisteria]

39. Well, President Obama doesn't look like a one term President to me.

Frankly, the last thing we need is another President from Texas-it reminds us all of the terrible one left us all with one huge mess to clean up.

[joshcryer]

40. You've got to be kidding me.

No words. :rofl:

[RedSpartan]

42. The only GOP candidate who can beat Obama

is Romney, and he has a pretty good chance in this economy.

[Bake]

43. I don't know if it will be Perry, but the Dem better start paying attention.

If Obama caves on Social Security and Medicare, when the public so obviously wants him to stand firm and TAX THE RICH (are you paying attention yet???), people WILL stay home.

Bake

45. normally i'm with ya, but not on this one.
