Everybody keeps saying Obamas in trouble, Obamas in trouble, but nobody knows who his challenger will be. If they can't find a good nominee this will be easier than expected. The Cain thing in Florida means nothing but a protest vote.

You know BD, for awhile, I thought that Romney stood a chance (albeit slim) of beating Pres. Obama, given the economy. But let's just say, I don't think that's the case anymore.Christie can jump in OR not. It will make NO difference except to Romney. Christie would sipphon votes from Romney INITIALLY. And then Christie will eventually falter, "the base" will discover he AIN'T who they thought he was. They'll turn on him the same way they're turning on Perry and have already turned against Bachmann. The mythical "pure Conservative" the "base" is looking for DOES.NOT EXIST. Nor ever existed. And never will.In the meantime: There's so much ignorance, hatred AND *Crazy* spewing from the GOP_to say nothing of Mitt's craven opportunistic tendencies_that when forced to make a choice, I think most Americans will pull the lever for Obama AGAIN rather than risk putting the welfare of THIS nation back in the hands of the Repubs any time soon. I could be wrong…and Time will certainly tell.Obama has been a bit of a disappointment. That's no lie. But the man is smart, a Class Act, and he gives a d*mn about the role of government.The Repubs scare the H*ll out of me AND (I believe) most American voters.

HAH. Could the GOP get any more ridicules??? Well of course they could..smh.Why ANYONE in the Repub hierarchy is acting "alarmed" at Perry's implosion is beyond me!?!H*ll. Even I (a Black female from PA, with very limited knowledge of Texas politics) have known about Perry's umm…intellectual DEFECTS and *shady* ways for quite a few years now. That the GOP is reduced to begging…literally BEGGING…an Obese man with chronic asthma and a Jersey accent to ride in at the 11th hour to "save" the party, does indeed say a lot about the current state of that party. Frankly, I think, looking at ALL the madness going on with the Repub party speaks VOLUMES about the current, AND FUTURE, state of the GOP.But regarding Cain's "win" in the Florida Straw Poll:Regular readers of OK WASSUP know that I don't like polls. I consider them to be mostly meaningless, even polls that favor my candidate or opinion. I don't trust most polls because I don't trust the competency or integrity of most pollsters. "WE The People" are constantly being PLAYED by one entity or another (the media, politicians, pollsters, etc) so, with the exception of analyses and predictions by Nate Silver (American statistician and psephologist) I tend to ignore/dismiss most poll results.In the long run, Cain's decisive "win" over Perry and Romney probably won't mean much. However, in terms of the immediate PERCEPTION, "the base" sent a CLEAR message to the Repub establishment AND the media: "Don't try to tell Us who to pick." It was a protest vote: "We don't like ANY of the above."It also sends a CLEAR message to Romney: "And We really DON'T want You." Wow. What a party!
