In an interview with The Washington Post, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the oldest Supreme Court Justice and also one of the most liberal, said that she predicts another Democrat in the White House.

From The Washington Post:
“I think it’s going to be another Democratic president” after Obama, Ginsburg said. “The Democrats do fine in presidential elections; their problem is they can’t get out the vote in the midterm elections.”

Do you agree with her? or is she just a crazy old bat?

Depends on whether the GOP can get over their identity crisis before 2016. Then it depends on what that identity is, and whether or not they run a halfway decent candidate.

We are fairly ****ed with either party in the White House. Either way it's corpgov.

Anybody who thinks a Republican president is going to fix everything and make it better is crazy. Anybody who thinks the Democratic president in the White House is going to fix it everything better is crazy. Anyone who responds to my comments by saying "Well at least a...(Republican/Democrap)...will/won't..." is part of the problem. America continues to vote for the same two parties and America continues to be in deep ****. We have the power to vote the bastards out. We have the power to impose term limits - most Americans don't.

Both parties, either party, in Washington have ****ed up everything. Nothing really changes, it really doesn't.

You may not like here, but she is certainly not crazy. Whether she is right here, it is too early to tell, but I would think the democrats are favored, especially if Clinton does run.

I think she is correct. My belief is as long as the GOP runs their candidates through FOX NEWS they will always cause the wrong candidate to be nominated. Their viewers love the far right extremes, but the public doesn't want extremes on either side of the political spectrum. For the GOP to win again, they need to nominate a moderate conservative. IMO. I believe Jon Huntsman could have beaten President Obama.

Centrist
As long as the population keeps rising, and the raw numbers of impoverished along with it, there will be "disaffected" people in a number of ways who will look to the socialist rescue candidate for hope .. and that candidate is always the liberal Dem candidate.

For the Republicans to win back the White House, they will have to run on a more centrist platform of ending in/out -sourcing, "encouraging" self-deportation of illegals, restoring prosperity for American citizens, always-legal immigrants (pardon my obvoius redundancy), and American businesses, to in all matters emphasize a philosophy of a dynamic balance of both liberty and justice for all American citizens as our pledge of allegiance states, and to create a population change rate that is significantly less than zero.

And, they will have to run a candidate who is super intelligent, a great speaker, an obvious leader, is opposed to typical liberal and conservative policies, and who really cares about the American people, but also someone, however, who recognizes that capitalism is still the game, no matter how many governing factors we need to regulate it, and that socialism isn't feasible at this time over-populated time.

The great majority of Americans are neither liberal or conservative, having simply had to chose between the lesser of these two evils, and are instead very centrist, not "political", and are tired of Americans taking it in the shorts for both Multi-Cultural Internationalists and Corporate Global Expansionists.

Most of what you say is right, but you ruin it all at the very beginning. It is not just incorrect but despicable to call "rescue candidates" "socialists."

This nation needs to elect the kind of Presidents and Congressmen who will make it unnecessary to ever elect another "rescue candidate."

Or, to put it another way: You people who hate Obama, he never would have been elected in 2008 and 2012 if John Kerry had been elected in 2004, or if Al Gore had been allowed to accept his rightful victory in 2000. The country would have been far better off, we wouldn't have had the Crash of 2008, we wouldn't have had that stupid war in Iraq, we'd have had a health care reform that's better than ObamaCare, and, today, Barack Obama might still be in the Illinois State Senate, and he might be okay with that.

The GOP needs to change with the demographics, otherwise they will not regain the WH back.

of coarse I think she has an agenda. and wants America to be something according to her understanding, and not the constitution.

remember this is a woman, who is a judge in our highest court, who feels America's constitution is inferior to the South African constitution.

She's right, of course. Republicans win mid-term elections because legislative districts are gerrymandered to make it all but impossible to beat them. On a national level, however - and to a lesser extent the U.S. Senate - they will continue to suck. They will continue to move further and further to the Right, and while that plays great in Dixie, it doesn't play very well anywhere else.

Why is a Supreme Court Justice speaking about elections and politics and showing favoritism towards one party over another. She's a prime example of why people think the US Supreme Court is politically biased and rules not by the law but by their political bent.

Disgusting

Id say this about a conservative justice as well...ANY supreme court justices that waxes politically ought to be removed from their seat on the court. As the third component of our system of checks and balances, their lifetime appointment was meant to ensure Constitutional impartiality. I would say of the 9 currently seated, MAYBE Roberts and Kennedy should stay. MAYBE.

The Republicans could win it if they would stop running the candidate the left keeps choosing for them. They need to run a conservative who is not afraid to be a conservative. Romney? McCain? What kind of choices are these for conservatives?

I don't much care who they run for President, I want Dave Ramsey for VP. Could you imagine seeing him in a budget negotiation?
