My dog could beat Obama right now, and do just as good a job.

Any poll that has Obama below 50% is bad news for him. As Dick Morris (Political Genius) pointed out, 90% of the undecided break for the challenger when the unemployment rate is ver 7.2%. Obama will lose reelection just like Carter did and for the same reason: total mismanagement of hte economy.

Good news, for those now FIFTEEN FAMILY'S under this President who have lost their jobs, and some also their homes. They won't be voting for Obama at all. Middleaged, and no job, really think they are going to vote for this jerk who made promises of a new era of HOPE AND CHANGE, no he can't.. Things are going to get worse with this President, writing on the wall, unless you choose to not see it. Your problem if you can't.

Yet no actual Republican is leading him in any poll.

Dick Morriss predictions are utterly laughable, and Kerry may have a few things to say about the whole 50% thing....

You also probably think Perry could win.

Something tells me you think a bit differently than the average American.

My favorite Dick Morris, Political Genius moment was his entire book based on the premise that Hillary Clinton was the inevitable 2008 Democratic nominee, but that she may well be defeated because the GOP was going to nominate Condoleeza Rice. It sure is political genius to think the GOP was going to nominate someone who is pro-choice and pro-affirmative action!
http://www.amazon.com/Condi-vs-Hillary-Great-Presidential/dp/0060839139

Of course, when Rice didn't run, Dick Morris quickly moved to another, even more socially liberal Republican: Rudy Giuliani. In a politically brilliant analysis, Morris predicted that Clinton and Giuliani would all but wrap up their respective party nominations even before the caucuses/primaries began. Wow! The genius-ness of predicting that the GOP would nominate a pro-choice, pro-stem-cell-research, pro-gun-control, pro-gay candidate leaves me in awe!

Also fun was his politically ingenious prediction that the GOP would win the Senate last year:

But Dick Morris sure knows how undecides break! Oooops, he doesn't... because just before the 2008 election he claimed they would break for McCain and Obama would get less than 50% of the vote...

He's such a geeeeeeeeeeeeeenyusssssssssssssssssssss!

Yep! Just ask George W. Bush. His approval rating stood at 48% in Gallup's final poll before the 2004 election, and he lost to John Kerry!

Oh, wait a minute. No, he won...

Why do you write things like that? Do you really believe it? Or do you just write it for the sake of outrageousness? Is it an attempt at humor?

It's perfectly clear that in reality-land, there are millions of voters who will vote for Obama in 2012. I would not claim it will be a cake walk for him and he may lose, but statements like the above are delusional if meant in earnest.

So...a grey card-board cutout of an imaginary Republican candidate beats Barak Obama handily for the presidential election, but then Obama beats every declared and undeclared Republican candidate for the presidential election.


So by transitive relation, the voting public prefers a cardboard cutout of an imaginary Republican presidential candidate overwhelmingly over any existing potential or actual Republican candidate.


What does that say about the current state of the Republican party?
