Obama will lose in 2012. Here's why. The GOP will be forced into a brokered convention. Enter Sarah Palin who has been hammering Obama on the issues lately and who gave a riveting speech the other night that woke everyone up. She enters the convention and is drafted as the nominee because Santorum and Romney can't pull the numbers she can. Palin can motivate the base is a huge way. This is the plan. This is why Palin hasn't endorsed anyone. This is why she stated in September that we would witness a very unpredictable campaign for 2012.
And she loses in a landslide that hasn't even been seen before...all 50 states. The reason she didn't run to begin with was because her negatives and polling was so bad. She is viewed as favorable by a very small percentage of Republicans. A brokered convention will hand Obama another four years.
Unfortunately for the republicans and right wing conservatives everywhere, they are fighting for the very identity of their party and what it stands for. It's a major transition period for the party. Obama will win without breaking a sweat.
For 8 horrific years, Republican wrecked the country. One would think they'd learn from their utter incompetence and stupid policies that their ideology stinks. Instead, they put their heads in the sand and foot in mouth, and continuall produce stench like the tea party, obstructionist tactics in Congress, policies that are designed to protect the rich at the expense of everyone else, beliefs that perpetuate and support racism, and so forth. We are subjected to the most ho-hum primary race in recent memory, cursed with the most pathetic GOP candidates in history who appear to be no better than Bush, the worst POTUS in history. The GOP obviously needs to completely re-invent themselves to fit modern times and a multi-cultural society. They were too inept to do this, so tremendous edge to this President. The people in this country want Obama back.

Not true at all. She can beat Obama. He couldn't withstand the attacks from her.

Enjoy President Obama's second term.
Best post so far on this subject A_Lexus & I tried to rep you but I couldn't. I don't know how any sane American would put the GOP back into the White House after the disastrous control of the country prior to President Obama being elected! I am a Independent voter for the last 21 years and all I am watching now is the GOP canidates play musical chairs as to who leads in what Primary with no clear or concise winner.
Romney looks & acts like a 1% who said GM should have gone bankrupt & he wonders why he's not leading in his home state of Michigan.
Santorum sounds like he should be running for the President of Saudi Arabia with his Conservative personal views regarding Women & Gays and religion.
Newt has more baggage than the JFK Airport and Ron Paul lives in a delusional World that he can get rid of mutiple Departments in the Federal Government and become "Isolationists" in the world. He still must think we are living in 1776.
President Obama may not be perfect but he sure as hell is 100x better than these bozos who call themselves Republicans! I will cast my vote in November For President Obama again!

And if that was to happen, the outcome would be: Obama 323 to Palin 215. Or more- there are always a few variables.
The last time a poll was taken on that match-up, about 2 weeks before Palin announced she would not run, she was losing to Obama by 80 points, the biggest spread of all at the time when there were the highest number of serious candidates preparing to run.
At that time, Palin did much worse against Obama than Michele Bachmann. And at that time, Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, Paul, Perry, Cain, and some others had already declared. Trump declared shortly after the poll was taken. It was also the time when Obama was polling at the lowest level of his Presidency. He has increased 10 points since then, and has the wind at his back now.
I have to admit it would be fun to watch. I'm starting to think that any brokered convention would go to Paul, and if there was ever a Paul-Palin debate to be a decision maker, Paul would run a Chop-A-Matic all over Palin. That word salad of hers would not stand a chance against either Paul or Obama.
