I guess that's good/ Obama will lose, that seems to be a given. But Romney? Not really sure about him.

Let's see how many of these politicians that say they are for businesses and jobs do with this debate. Banks fill up so many politicians pockets, but those same politicians claims they're for business that can add jobs.
We'll see.

IMHO, Romney is the only one who could beat him. Not a fan personally, but I don't think anyone else can beat him.
49% disapproval and $14T in debt bring many people into play. It will be a very close race no matter who gets the GOP nomination and the swing voter block will only be 5% or so.

We either need to nut up and start exploring our own oil reserves or really push alternative. This pussy footing business isn't making anyone more secure.

Agree completely. We have to lift restrictions on offshore drilling, both deep and shallow, and open up ANWAR. Lift restrictions on new refineries.
- "But it won't be online for 10 years!!!1" ...that may be true, but A.) we could have done it 10 years ago and be sitting better today B.) Speculators, on the safety of knowing more oil will be coming online will start adjusting current prices downward C.) OPEC will crap themselves and start getting more of their product out of the ground and sold now ahead of our new capacity.
- "It's bad for teh environment!!!1" ....if that is the case, what was PBO doing encouraging Brazil to drill more? Is the ocean different near them than near us? Other nations don't see a problem drilling in the gulf, why the hell wouldn't we want to crowd them out? That oil is coming out one way or another environmentalist peeps. I don't think the UN is going to ban offshore drilling anytime soon. The thought that we handcuff ourselves when it is going to happen one way or another is pretty unnerving.
Think I read somewhere that Obama's sweet spot of voters are the hardest ravaged by unemployment right now - young & minority.Originally posted by Irish Beck:
I think the most interesting thing this election will bring is the notion that Obama is the only person who can attract young voters and then get them to the ballot box. They didn't show up for his party last fall, do they still believe in hope and change?
I highly doubt I'll be voting for Obama next year, but one can only wonder what will happen if he does manage to get the seemingly untouchable block of voters to come back out and support him again.
Oh I'd lift restrictions on nuke plants too. Have one in every metropolitan area. If it is been safe enough to have a plant near _________ for ________ years than it is safe enough to be located near me.Originally posted by Bill Cosby:
Well at least we're going to rule out nuclear as any type of energy option.

GWB's disapproval #'s were hovering around 50% going into November 2004. People generally disapprove of those they know but trust them moreso than the devil they don't.
Still, if the economy is still struggling to add jobs by next summer Obama is in serious trouble. The economy weighs on swing voters' minds moreso than debt/deficits (see: voting results of 2000-2008). $14T is just a number another staggering number to most and is meaningless without a comparison to GDP.

You really don't think people are worried about the debt?
"Independents, by 49% to 34%, also say their bigger concern is that raising the debt limit would lead to more spending and more debt. Nearly half of Democrats (48%) say their greater concern is that not raising the debt limit would lead to a government default, but 38% say they are more concerned that raising the debt limit would lead to higher spending.

We think there is a need for it now, but really we are just pining for a different tech while we have tons of cheap supply (albeit a lot of it untapped by our own accord). Hypothetical: Say we have free flow of oil for 50 years, around year 40 we see there is without a doubt 10 years left and boom ===> outta here.
The private sector, esp 'big oil', will swing 100% of it's weight into this new tech, whatever it may be, as a replacement. They won't just lie down and die, they like profit from what I hear and have a lot of shareholders to answer to. They will be the cack and balls that swing around and establish an alternative, it just won't happen as long as there is a cheap, abundant source right in front of them.

Democrats in general hate this country and they could care less about our national debt. If they cared, they wouldn't have endorsed Obama who compounded our debt even way more than Bush. Obama has almost thoroughly destroyed any chance of an economic recovery.
