I don't think Obama will be unpopular enough to lose by 12.  People are morons like that.  The heavy hitters in the GOP will bow out, and she'll be left as a major primary candidate at the least.

Naw.   Politicians don't think that way.

The campaign season gets close, and their brains go all mushy.

Current thinking in Washington is that Obama is running with a permament campaign mentality.  If true, he should be able to crush the GOP, especially since their best idea of the moment is "Obama is an ethnic minority.  So is Jindal.  Therefore, we should run Jindal against Obama" and "Twitter will win the kids over to us" and, best of all "make Rush Limbaugh the official public face of the GOP". 

Because nothing says "vote GOP" more than making a drug addled, possible sex tourist and ignorant loudmouth the centrepiece of your political strategy.

Not only that, Jindal has nothing to say,and feels he needs to say it loudly.  And Rush Limbaugh's audience stopped growing about the time he lost his TV show.  He's the Art Bell of the GOP now, and only influences the base.

Appealing to their rapidly declining base seems to be the only trick they have left.  WORST. OPPOSITION PARTY.  EVER.

This is the best observation of Rush Limbaugh's career I've read, ever.

QFT. Every last word up there.

Nothing much to add except "long venison" was just a typo I grew fond of, "long verison," so it stayed after I cleaned it up.

I am not "full of hate" as if I were some passive container. I am a generator of hate, and my rage is a renewable resource, like sunshine.

By which I mean, it is not yet functionally illegal to be a member.

Everyone's having a good time but Lenin. Is that because he just got off the train from Germany?

Makes me wonder if a third party could get a foot in the door sometime soon.

NO MATTER WHUT!!...Please continue the "bailout"...
"Sincere thought, real free thought, ready, in the name of superhuman authority or of humble common sense, to question the basis of what is officially taught and generally accepted, is less and less likely to thrive. It is, we repeat, by far easier to enslave a literate people than an illiterate one, strange as this may seem at first sight. And the enslavement is more likely to be lasting."   -Savitri Devi
