There once was a lass named MKitty, who ran a campaign rather gritty, to P.I.'s chagrin she eked out a win and passed laws to make his life sh*tty. Too honest? Awesome Virgil...on a scale of 1 to 10 you just got another 13..

Romney seems to have been running a normal Presidential campaign, trying to appeal to the middle as well as the main stream Republicans ..useing national issues. With some success.
The others , Bachman , Perry etc seem to be campaigning useing narrow topics to gain support more from the non mainstream voters..in a way, voters from out in left field on their interests, IMHO.
Forgetting Bachman , her issues are well known and to me are just so far out there..but Perry too..useing his model of success in Texas, but I believe from the Democratic out look , they welcome Perry as a rival candidate, because when you look at Texas and start peeling the layers away..granted less unemeployment..but jobs created, most are the lowest minimum wage jobs, 25 % of Texans are uninsured, less graduates of High School in the country I believe, poverty levels are tied or close to Mississippi and on and on plus his own feelings on many topics, definitly not appealing to the middle..
Just my thoughts.

Ok you Obama fans check this out it might just put a smile on your faces??? Herman Cain on impeaching President Obama, "It would be a great thing to do." || Impeachment. The unconstitutional individual mandate in ObamaCare. Failure to enforce the Defense Of Marriage Act. Herman Cain believes these are both good reasons to impeach President Obama, But the Senate will never go along with it. reddogreport.com/2011/08/herman-cain-wants-to-impeach-obama/

I think P.I. is on to something with Hillary. The economy was tanking due to years of abuse. It was going to continue to tank. So the black guy was elected - but only because the old white guy picked the wrong running mate. Things, of course, would have been better if he had been elected. The economy continues to tank. So the black guy and elect a woman - but only because the old white guys are not inspiring enough. The economy crumbles. Never would have happened, of course, if only a stronger old white guy had run and been elected.

I don't see Hillary running. Hillary has said repeatedly that she is no longer interested in being president. She wasn't playing the political highly qualified statement game. Just bluntly said no.

PI, I feel the field of candidates is quite depressing. Even those proposing Hillary - her main qualification is she was married to a president and govenor. Then she served briefly as a senator until she was bought off from running by her appointment to Sec of State. Yep, she's qualified, just like Barry is. The Dems might be wise to have an open primary. The pubs have to let everyone slug it out. If america is fed up with the radicals, he who runs a traditional campaign (Romney) may have a chance. Gonna be an interesting year.

Yea but you and I have been around the block a few times so nothing would shock or surprise me when it comes to Dem politics especially since I grew up in Boston and we had some real wild and crazy Dem elections over the years.. We even had one of our mayors who wrote his campaign speeches while he was behind bars in jail....guess who it was?? BTW bluerobin how you doing at the ripe old age or 111?? I see you listed your date of birth as 05/27/1900....did you serve in WW1?? Or were you a draft dodger?? I really should be calling you "Sir" to respect your longevity, I guess??

I hate birthdays! 111 was the oldest I could put down. During my war, I lucked out and got a high lottery number. Actually, I am enjoying the jockying for the top spot that we are witnessing. It IS the american process at work. It also provides lots of laughs.

You ain't seen nothing yet...wait until the negative campaign ads begin to hit the airways and don't forget Obama has almost $1 Billion to spend on his campaign..and his attacks dogs are unleased on us 24/7.. May be time for a long trip in south east Asia again.. BTW if you were born in 1900 don't feel bad I am only a few years younger than you are... But I kept my birthdate hidden so as not be confused with Grand Pa Walton...

If O'bumble wins you are going to see even more change. It just will not be in your pocket.

So the black guy was elected - Have you ever noticed that a number of movies like Deep Impact and 2012 have black presidents? I don't know if I've seen a movie yet with a black president where the world is at peace and not about to be destroyed. Maybe this is why the pubs ran McCain and Palin against Obama, with the economy the way it was they didn't want to win. (yes that's the sarcasm icon)

Deleted due to CoC Update August 18, 2011 Addendum 1 Posts that: are designed to bait someone into saying something against the CoC are filled with insults are deliberately inflammatory towards another posterwill be deleted. Ok fine then let me reword my question again to bluerobin. Are there any presidential candidates that you cannot say anything negative about??? Hell none are perfect nor do we live in a perfect world and Choir Boys finish last in most campaigns.. Most all swear, lie, steal, and cheat on their spouses except for a very small minority... You should met some member of congress after hours in the Watering Holes in DC or VA...when they have one or two too many martinis and shaken not stirred.

He suggested that the same was being done at the national level. Anyone able to give a name to the commenter?

Yea Ed Randell of MSNBC has often said that or similar comments Wasn't Randell a mayor before he became governor in PA??

However, on the left side of your dial, it's 100% for Obama. Hmmmmm, so much for the so-called diversity of the left. They line up in lockstep like Republicans used to.

Despite all his years of "Public Service" to "conservatives" and their "The Moral Majority", Newt Gingrich didn't get even one silly little vote? Remarkable...

Well, who else is running on the Dem ticket? Gee, thanks for proving my point! I cannot recall (at least in my lifetime) any politician from the same political party as the sitting president seriously challenging the president for his seat. Randall Terry is not a serious contender to become the democratic nominee in the 2012 national elections. He wouldn't be a serious contender to become the republican nominee either.
