If it weren't for the Republican candidates, Obama would lose my vote because of NDAA.

He probably has lost my vote for that. I'll see what 3rd party makes the ballot here.

Also, to cover the inevitable Republican spin:

I actually read the Y axis on that. Hilarious.

Don't call it a comeback.

Obama devours children, next on Fox.

His last throw to Sproles last night was purely gratuitous.

Problem, GOP?

These Republican primary debates have been a gift. For the past three or four months America has been continually bombarded by a freakshow of psychotic churchladies, ignorant pizza guys, goldbugs, bigots and perfectly coiffed wax figures, fighting each other in the longest deathmatch in the history of American politics.

It's been a showcase of Tea Party policy and Randroid wet-dreams, and I think the American people are starting to realize that the Tea Party elephant has no clothes.

So, I see the rest of the country has had some exposure to the current crop of Republicans, also lets not forget how well loved the Tea Party has become since they took control of the House.

It depends on who you ask.

The folks in this comment thread (new window) wouldn't agree.

A lot of states have gotten a taste of Republican executive leadership. Millions of voters have been mobilized to overturn sweeping union-busting bills and even recall their governors, far exceeding the amount of signatures needed to begin the process to do so. Hopefully a recurring theme for Obama is the awful experiments we have undergone in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc.

Michigan, Ohio, and Florida just off the top.

Oh, hey! Look! Two of those are swing states!

Wisconsin, Ohio, and Florida really f*cked up. They've done everything in their power tgo mobilize the Democratic base. There will be large turnouts for people who are thoroughly disgusted by the overreach of the Republicans in those states.

I will laugh if Kasich Walker, and Scott end up singlehandedly costing the GOP the election.

Nah, it won't be single-handedly. I mean, look at the GOP candidates...when there's absolutely no one electable running against you, your only enemy is voter apathy, and that's where the Republican overreach in the states will cost them. Lots of people pissed off coming into an election year is not good for the party they are pissed off at.

It sure would be nice if those Republicans figured out that 100% of Americans want the federal government to outlaw all ownership of private property, abolish religion, nationalize the economy, and completely destroy our national defense infrastructure.

Or the absolutely dismal opinion people have of Congress right now.

In short, Obama sucks but everybody else sucks more.

Mike_LowELL: Polls don't mean anything. We learned that after Obama "won" the election.

When you say "won" the election, I take it you mean "won the election."

Not by a little bit, either.

Hard to imagine it being better, frankly.

I'm not at all ashamed to admit I'd fark the President.

How many times does Obama have to pull the Rope-a-Dope on the GOP for people to stop being surprised?

Well, that settles it. Sarah Palin is president.

There's only one poll that matters.

The press can take their "optics", polls, approval numbers, staged photo ops and glib tone and shove them all up their own butt holes.

Otherwise known as the "lesser of two evils" or "opposition primary clusterfark" bump.

The last time I checked, more people in the U.S. approved of national Communism than approved of Congress.

Eh. He was cute when he was young though.

Still well below the historical average for presidents and below 50%.

I am looking forward to the politics tab if when Obama loses.

I think the Republican Party has made a horrible strategic error by allowing the primary circus continue for as long as it has. In previous elections they would have had a consensus candidate by now, and most others would have had the good sense or would have been encouraged by the party leadership to drop out after their numbers dropped to unelectable levels. Instead it's been this bizarre tag team match where every two or three weeks a new challenger to Romney appears and struts around, taking jabs at the presumptive nominee, until the challenger is horribly embarassed.

This is a lot like 2008, where the Republicans had a shiat fit that McCain the RINO was going to be nominee, and the conservative talk circuit trashed him for months. The GOP had to good sense to buy out McCain's competition early on, but the backlash by the f*cktard wing of the party permanently damaged McCain's chances.

This is worse. Romney will probably win the primary, but the conservatives are going to be so divided and butthurt that I think turnout for the Republicans will suffer. Meanwhile Romney has tried to pitch himself as a conservative who believes corporations are people and the middle class are do-nothing whiners.

The comments are full of derp. Is there a lot of crossover between Fox Nation and the Daily Mail?

I come from a conservative family, and every one of them is amazed I'm voting for Obama in 2012. I'm amazed that they can look at anything on the other side and say "Yeah, that looks reasonable." This current crop of Republican presidential candidates, Walker, Kasich, the tea party Congress, etc., are the best friends the left could ask for.

Which GOP candidate has more than 30% of THEIR OWN PARTY's vote? This is going to be a Landslide in the vein of 1980.

Everyone is looking at the Republicans and then quickly realize that Obama isn't the worst option.

To get a better grasp on your reasoning, I'd like to ask you just whom you think will beat him in the national election?

You 'do' have someone in mind, yes? Is it Magic Underpants?

Freedom American Republic Minnesota reported yesterday that "It has been confirmed by our independent analysts that Taxbongo usurped power on election day and, in reality, only Taxbongo and Michelle "Ethel" Rosenbama cast votes in favor of their political movement." The only two people in the country who voted for Taxbongo was himself and his wife! And he stole the election! That is what I am referring to and it is outrageous...

I see. You know, what pisses me off about the President is that he cannot decide which bongo he represents. One moment he farts bongos, and the next he taxes them. We need more decisive leadership, not this percussive waffling.

I'll bet you a beer. Sound fair? Obama will be re-elected president, bar major catastrophe [as in larger than 9/11 and Katrina], accidental or intentional death, or the intervention of divine beings.

Rachel Maddow called the 2010 election "If not now, then when?" in regards to the nutcases that came out of the woodwork in response to the 2008 election.

You kind of expected after 2010 things would settle down, they'd get back to business of the good solid sell and not allow distractions that resemble a bad Onion article.....but they didn't, and haven't, and don't appear to want to. That's what confounds me. If there's a guy painting a mural of Stalin with his feces in the back of your "Big Tent" then you give him the boot...let him know that he's not welcome.

If your goal is to win an election what made you think that the radical fringe is your answer?
