Romney vs Obama 2012

[Tahoe]

Should be interesting. Not sure if I'll pay attention till the end.

Life is sooooo much better not paying attention to politics.

AFAICT, there's a stronger "not-Romney" element than a "not-McCain" element at this point.
I think it's a little soon to predict it'll be just Romney vs. Obama.
I could see a third party candidate emerge to throw a wrench into things.

I think some plot turns are still coming. If Newt goes heel and pulls out to align with Santorum to try to beat Romney, they just might.

Also, Mr. X's mask gets removed to reveal that it's actually Ron Paul running third party!

[Glenn]

Also, has anybody seen any polling with Obama/Hillary vs. Obama/Biden?

Just wondering if following the seemingly natural succession plan of swapping in Hil would be a net + or -.

[Fool]

Hillary has high negatives that have always matched her positives and Obama's problem is with white men who Hillary doesn't help with. No way she is a net positive on the ticket.

Nice read on the topic by Bill Keller.

In much the same manner that it was politically dumb for Cheney to stay as VP after his heart issues during the second term, I think it'd be silly for Biden to stay as VP should he get re-elected on an Obama/Biden ticket. I don't see 74-year old Biden with a history of brain aneurysms being elected President under most circumstances.

But 'we' still won.

So far all I see shaping up is a choice between shit sandwich on wheat and shit sandwich on rye.
