Are you speaking for your spouse? Which one is doing the talking? They will only allow one of you in the voting booth at a time!

That went over my head. What are you talking about? Why are you dragging my wife into this. I don't understand.

It was just a little strange to me that your Avatar has two adults in it and no way to tell which one was the poster. Nothing more than that. It was just a little confusing who Posh 08 was. It just struck me as funny. Now I know that Posh 08 is the person on the left. No offense intended.

Lordy, if we could only get a generic Republican to run, instead of Larry, Moe and Curly, or the other chubby guy who has both arms full of ethical and moral baggage as well as a badly soiled political past.

Mr. Generic can win, but I doubt that those guys can.

Specifically stated: "President Obama is now neck and neck with a generic Republican challenger in the latest Real clear Politics 2012 General Election Average (43.8%-43.0%) Meanwhile voters disapprove of the president's performance49%-41% in the most recent Gallup survey and 63% of voters disapprove of his handling of the economy" WSJ 11/21 authored Dems Patrick Caddell and Doug Schoen.

The unfortunate truth is that we can find as many lapses in ethical and moral baggage with Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton as we can with many others.

So where does one go to find Pauly Pure to run as President? Jimmy Carter was pure enough to public ask forgiveness for lusting in his heart and he has been critized for being a poor presidential pick.

Let's get real here. What I keep asking myself is " Is what is being said by the critics regarding this presidential candidate materially effect the manner in which this candidate would conduct the people's business? We already know that any and all polticians in Washington and elsewhere are influenced by insider trading, lobbyist, unions, etc. They control and we can vote every one of them out but they will be replaced with another just like them save some few cases. We need term limits and as one reader wrote in response to the insider trading dilemma the best method is that in order for a candiate to accept a position in congress, Administration, et al they had to agree tat they would divest all of their holding except US Treasury bonds because that is the only way you could be certain they would represent voters interests ahead of their own...But those two solutions are not going to happen.

I am voting Republican come 2012 because the alternative whether Obama or clinton are simply unacceptable for America

I think Rubicon meant to say that voting for President Obama or Sec. Clinton is unacceptable to him and not to America. America voted President Obama into office and they certainly will keep him over the current mind-meld of Repubican possibilities.

I think Rubicon spoke about what's unacceptable to America's health and longevity as a nation.

The country's is going down the tubes and you really think the people won't hold the guy in charge accountable?

Don't worry Buggy, I'll buy you a beer and try to explain how it all happened despite your wishes in November. I know you won't listen to me before then.

I am a proponent of positive thinking and attitude, however I don't believe the comment they most certainly will carry him over for a second term is in the bag.

Why not give the complete story from RCP? Not only does Obama beat some make believe "generic" Republican, but let us see how he does against each potential R candidate, shall we?

Obama - 46.1, Romney - 44.7
Obama 49.1, Gingrich - 42.3
Obama 49.5, Cain - 40.0
Obama 49.8, Perry - 40.7
Obama 47.8, Paul - 41.8
Obama 51.4, Bachmann - 37.0
