- of the last two republican governors of texas, they call George Bush "the smart one" - moles Jun 29, 14:17 14
  - If Obama is smart, he'd best start bringing his A-game, because his base is pissed at him and could stay home. - TWuG Jun 29, 14:21 13
    - I think he's been a little busy KILLING OSAMA FUCKING BIN LADEN -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 14:36 2
      - Sadly, that doesn't put bread on the table. -- nm - TWuG Jun 29, 14:37 1
        
        "Bring his A game" "Put bread on the table" are you turning into John Madden? -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 14:38
    - The wackier his opponent, the more likely his base (and independents) will come out to beat them. - pmb Jun 29, 14:28 1
      - I don't think, given ho badly the left beats on him, that he should consider any race safe. -- nm - TWuG Jun 29, 14:35
    - Hopefully today's press conference was the start of that - Brian Jun 29, 14:24 1
      - Yep. Obama has some failings to fix, but I still lay a lot of blam on the Dems in Congress who wouldn't rally around him. - TWuG Jun 29, 14:27
    - he needs independents in the swing states more than he needs his base in the safely blue states -- nm - moles Jun 29, 14:22 5
      - My assumption is he's lost half the independents either because they'll stay home or vote GOP. - TWuG Jun 29, 14:25 2
        
        he's an infinitely better campaigner than actual governor. they're probably just waiting to see who the GOP nominates before crafting the message -- nm - moles Jun 29, 14:28
        
        I'd say this assumption drastically overestimates the number of people that will stay home. But I agree with your IM is 100% -- nm - MDH Jun 29, 14:28

        his base deluded themselves into thinking he was actually as progressive as the Hope & Change branding made him out to be - moles Jun 29, 14:27
but nomination wise, he's a big name in the GOP which is what counts at this point -- nm - moles Jun 29, 14:15
