The next presedential election is not for 1 year and 2 months. Many exciting and game-changing things can heppen between now and then, including a sudden improvement in the economy, decrease in the unemployment rate, or the GOP candidate could say things soo ridiclously stupid as to make the election a cake-walk for Obama. I understand that the members of the anti-Obama cult fail to comprehend this, but these are the facts.
Obama is going to do whatever he can to buy votes through creating more dependence and thus greater debt from taxpayer money being spent. The fact is that the Obama record will be on the ballot in 2012 and it will be that record that will determine the results. I see nothing changing due to Obama's ideology and thus his unwillingness to compromise and efforts to continue his class warfare policies...
The GOP candidate will do whatever he can to buy more votes, by advocating for more tax cuts for the wealthy while cutting spending for the poor & middle class, who are loathed by the GOP.
How much more spending cuts on the poor & middle-class do you think they will accept, before they finally realize that the GOP is the enemy of the working man?
Right, tax cuts for the rich is nothing more than class warfare...
Thunder, as I have pointed out I don't expect true Obama supporters to acknowledge even what is common knowledge today. Obama's current approval ratings are at record lows for him and the results are there for all to see. It is hard for most people to ignore those results and the only ones that will are the Obama cult who refuse to admit that they were wrong.
Hochul won the conservative republican NY seat just five months ago -- when Obama's rating wasn't much worse than it is now. It was advertised as a referendum on the Ryan budget and Republicans' destroy-Medicare plan.
Hmmm...looks like a Democrat won a seat in a traditionally GOP district, and was so for 40 years. Just another referendum on Obama, huh?
And who's gonna beat Obama? Right now, the front runner for the GOP is Perry, and polls show that Obama beats Perry. And if employment numbers continue the current trend, it's only going to get worse for Perry. You spent an entire thread railing against Obama because there were no jobs created last month according to payroll data (even though you never reference payroll data, ever) ... but last month Perry lost jobs in Texas according to payroll data.NY 9 is an indication that the tide is turning and there is a reason that Obama, who won with 52% of the vote now has a 39% JAR losing 13% of that support. Hard to imagine a Democrat District for the past 90 years to all of a sudden ignore the Obama record and just vote for a Republican because of Weiner's resignation.
I'm not sure the unemployment situation will work that much against Obama. Many of those who remain unemployed became that way under Bush or shortly after Obama became president. Sure they may be disappointed at efforts to get employment up, but I don't see the majority voting for either Romney or Perry - two very flawed candidates. President Obama has much going for him and in fact said just the other day his chances of winning in 2012 are better than the were in 2008.And who's gonna beat Obama?

At what cost to the country are you willing to support four more years of Obama? Currently there are over 25 million unemployed and under employed Americans and we have a 14.6 trillion dollar debt. So think about it?
I believe that Owens got 73K votes and the Conservative and Independent got 78k votes which means Owens didn't get the majority in that District. I also realize that election was in 2009 and not 2011. Guess those facts escaped you.

So what does Obama have going for him? Specifically? Nothing positive. Just look at the economy. If you still want to blame bush so be it. Obama has done zero to get the economy going. Think the stimulus bill created any jobs? According to reports jobs numbers are no better. Obama should resign. He is the worst president by far in US history. And Omaba's jobs bill will create jobs for union workers only. Not to worry, that piece of legislation isn't even getting sponsored by any dem law makers. That is truly comical. Even his own party is seperating it's self from his rediculious ideas.
You do realize, of course, that all the Republicans would have to do in order to have a fighting chance would be to offer the nation a Palin/Bachmann ticket.

New York's 26th congressional district special election, 2011 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The district is traditionally a safe Republican seat, having been continuously represented by Republicans since Jack Kemp's election in 1970. Democrats had made serious, but unsuccessful, attempts to gain the seat with self-financed candidate Jack Davis in 2004 and 2006 as well as Alice Kryzan in 2008, but nominated only token opposition in 2010 when Philip Fedele ran.

So still seeking justification for your vote? Obama's current JAR and approval of handling of the economy makes that hard to find. Keep looking rather than admitting that you were wrong and Obama duped you. The People of NY 9 got it, when will you?

TacticalEvilDan;1059804964]Both parties are just as dependent on buying votes -- they only differ in their constituency.
Sort of like all that government money that goes out to defense contractors, farmers, bankers, and so on.
President does. Everybody in Washington is playing musical chairs -- they keep running around and around and around the core issues, and their only hope is that when the music stops, their ass will be in a seat. Their first concern isn't fixing anything.
Where's the Republican plan to get us out of this? Which of the field of Presidential candidates have presented any specifics?
I'm sorry, are you arguing that "technically" the Democrat (and thus Obama) lost by ... adding together the votes of two candidates? :lol:
