Let's face it. Even if McCain wins, there'll be a new Republican running in 2012. More than likely Sarah Palin would run vs Hillary Clinton in 2012. But if it's Obama winning next week, it's safe to start thinking 2010 in Congressional takeovers (Obama is gonna have another Carter administration with Israel or Iran attacking each other). 2012 will be another election. Who is that Republican that everyone should get behind and take over again? My choice? It's still early of course but for now, I'm thinking the only conservative soul in Massachusetts: Mitt Romney.
I like Fred Thompson but he'll be pretty old by 2012, Romney is the near-total package. Conservative, image (and not a Democrat this time), eloquent, knows domestic issues (including economy) as well as the foreign affairs (if not more than McCain). He's got the name value as he ran this year, and he still has $ left over.
Anyways, has anyone else noticed Obama up on every poll there is? It's as wide as 15 to as narrow as 1 which proves polling organizations have no credibility whatsoever. That reason makes me want McCain to win even more. That way polling orgs and the media will know what their foot tastes like. But that's wishful thinking. Dan Rather choked in 2000 saying Florida went to Al Gore after counting 6% of the state...and the mainstream still exists.

In my opinion, if this election has taught us anything, it's that in this country in this time elections have become popularity contests. More like high school student council elections rather than a serious discussion. Obama's extortion tactics, (see 95% tax cut, actual redistribution scheme) and the fact that his many seemingly disqualifications are ignored by fawning, in my opinion dillusional, fans (I can't even count them as reasoned voters) make me think that no serious person can become president. This disqualifies Romney. And because she is not rich, and talks different that people on the coasts of the lower 48, also disqualifies Palin.
Anyone else notice the original "$250K" that Obama was talking about now is down to $150K? At least Clinton waited til he was President to lower the tax burden....
Palin is more intelligent than what a lot of people are giving. I may be in the minority (and would rather have Romney or Jindal instead), but thanks to the mainstream, she is labeled as another Quayle.
2012 will be all about "hope" and "change." There will be a Carter-era longing for hope for tax relief after President Obama has raised every type of federal tax. And there will be real change when we have someone like Romney who will make Obama seem like a child in every debate. Or maybe Newt. He'll be 69 then, but he's got a Ph.D - he too seems like such an adult compared to Obama. Of course, right now I'm wondering why we nominated a man who has rejected, even denounced every type of evangelical support and has left the base totally uninspired. And Palin - let's face it - she's a conservative and knows budgets and she's likable, but is completely uninformed on many many issues.
