2012 Political Predictions

I thought I felt a diminution in the force recently. Now I know. The collective IQ of Oklahoma just dropped (continued dropping) while Kentucky shows gains.

"You are now entering Kentucky.
Set your clock back 60 years."

I'd have to argue that since he's coming from Oklahoma.

The GOP VP pick is going to be Rubio.  At this point, I'd put money on it.   

That would be great....you can see my Rubio placement in the teleprompter thread....how come you guys are so one sided you can't even see the irony in Markies idiocy? Rubio should have just written it on his hand like snooki Palin does. There, problem solved.

"I left the last page of my speech...does anybody have a copy of my speech?" Marco "late to the party" Rubio

He can't rate.

Good news.  Ol' what's-er-face is speaking for Romney.

Bachmann: Romney will have an 'open ear' to conservatives

Washington (CNN) - Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann has yet to formally endorse Mitt Romney's presidential bid, but she said Thursday that it's only a matter of time.

"I haven't come out with an endorsement, but I have said that I want my voice to be a voice of unity and that's my goal," Bachmann said during an afternoon appearance on Mike Huckabee's radio show. "It appears that our nominee is Mitt Romney and I will get behind that nominee."

For several months last year during her presidential bid, Bachmann was the standard-bearer for the grassroots wing of the Republican Party that was skeptical of Romney and his establishment leanings, if not completely opposed.

But Bachmann said the choice between Romney and President Barack Obama is a no-brainer for conservatives.

"I will pull in and help to unify our party," Bachmann said. "This is it. We have got to come together. Because this is the year when we make Barack Obama a one-term president."

Bachmann expressed confidence that conservatives, including tea party activists and Evangelical Christians, will have an ally in the Oval Office if Romney wins in November.

"We will see an open ear from Mitt Romney," Bachmann said. "So far, he has proved to be a person who listens. That's what we need, a nominee who listens."

Is it me or does it seem as though there's a considerable drop in election news lately?

I understand it's down to two in the ring but I'd've thought Romney's folks would be doing anything they could to keep him in the cycle.

I've seen more about Gingrich over the last few days.

There's really not much to report until we get closer to the conventions.  We can expect three months of:

"Mitt Romney hurled barbs at President Obama today during a stump speech in Pocatello, Idaho"

"President Obama defended his record on private sector jobs today during a campaign stop in Detroit."

And so it goes.

Need a good presidential slap fight.




TWO MEN ENTER.  ONE MAN LEAVES.

What a small World we live in. He's in Afghanistan one day and Detroit the next.
I wonder if he can tell the differance ?

Sound stages like the moon landing and Reykjavik.

Doubtful. Hard to tell the difference in these photos.

Actually, they just figured. . .while he was campaigning in Afghanistan they could also fake a campaign stop in "Detroit."  All they had to do was change the camera angle a little and throw up a GM sign.

They, of course, were forced to take some UAW reps with them.

Oh no, not the "they" again.

Rat bastards are everywhere.  Look in your soup.

You know that you can buy a house in Detroit for 300 Dollars ?
Well except for that little problem of not being able to live in it.
