As I might have said either somewhere in this thread or in another, I had hoped that Mitch Daniels would be the standard-bearer for the Republicans in 2012. But, Daniels said something about ignoring social issues and concentrating instead on economic issues. That pretty much ended it for him.
Sarah Palin has certainly been going around the country giving whomever as much help as she can, and it's paying huge dividends. Name one candidate that she has backed, that has lost. Can't do it. Conversely, name one candidate that Obama has helped, that has won. Can't do that, either.
I've had the office moonbat, who is retiring, tell me that he feels confident about winning a $100 bet I have with him because the Republicans have no front-runner yet. I ask him who the
Democratic front-runner was each time the Dems have won the Presidency since 1990. He wasn't able to give me the name of the first one until I prompted him (Paul Tsongas). He
was able to give me the name of the presumptive nominee in '08--Hillary Clinton. So, I asked him, did either one win the nomination? Obviously they didn't. Hell, very few people knew who Bill Clinton
was in January of 1992. So, I said to him that the Republican nominee is very probably someone who we haven't even counted on yet. But, whoever it is, they're going to walk all over the Obamessiah in 2012. Why? Well, for starters, the Bush tax cuts are due to expire soon, along with a lot of the tax laws allowing small businesses to file as individuals. All of a sudden, there's going to be a lot more money taken out of people's paychecks, at a time when small businesses are going to have to trim workers--or even close their doors. Unemployment is going to go up--and let's remember that the Obamessiah told the American people that they had to pass the TARP rescue bill to the tune of damn near $800 billion or unemployment was going to go over 8%. After the tax cuts expire, expect it to go north of 10.5% reported, which means that the actual number will be close to 19%.
Now, there's a certain Secretary of State who has a husband, who knows all of this is going to happen. The Obamessiah ruined said husband's dreams of being in the White House for sixtreen years. The surest way of getting revenge against the Obamessiah for dashing those dreams is to have his wife, the present Secretary of State, declare that she is going to run for the Democrat Party nomination for President--in 2012.
But, the Obamessiah isn't stupid. He knows that the husband has it out for him. Now, Moe Lane over at RedState lays it out in much better than I can, so I'll just give the link. But before I do, I'll say this: Obama changed the rules on how the nominee will be chosen.

us would be able to run a credible campaign against him.
