Who do you expect to be President on January 21st, 2013?

Go!

Willard Mitt Romney.

Barring catastrophe, Obama should be fine for reelection. After all, I can't think of a single candidate on the GOP bench that is especially thrilling to both the teabagger and moderate wings of the party.

The GOP candidate gets Tea Party support by default.

See Dede Scozzafava.

Haha, you got me there. But they would never attempt to do anything like that on the national scale. Especially in a close race.


That saying, we do not know if Palin will run Indy. If she does, then the Dems will see a Nixonesque landslide.

President Barack Hussein Obama the second.

Willard Mitt Romney

A change in one day?

I'm curious, what are your Congressional predictions this year, PBrower?

Until today I expected marginal change. Now that the Supreme Court has just ranted unlimited powers to corporations to buy political influence, I expect a huge Republican sweep.

We may now be doomed to a corporate state reminiscent of Mussolini's Italy in which corporations had formal power in the legislative process and democracy was gutted. If you thought that Dred Scott was bad -- that decision didn't take freedom away from the white majority which wasn't sharing power with non-whites, anyway.

This fascism will creep in on little alligator feet, and we won't know what is happening until too late. By 2012, paid-for corporate whores will have even the ability to get legislation that permits them to set up militias to do the dirty work. Alligators do not grow quickly, but they don't un-grow, and their appetites never shrink.

It's too bad that I didn't marry that Irish girl and move to Ireland when I had a chance.

Maybe I ought to take up cigarettes and whiskey so that cancer and cirrhosis can get me instead of some secret policeman or some private militia. Sure, I have MSNBC in the background. In four years it will be no different from FoX News, which will be even more blatant in its sycophancy to a right-wing government than it was when Dubya was President. 

You don't think you are overreacting just a bit?

I am really going to go out on a limb and say

President - Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana
Vice President - Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona

The first time since 1912 that a ticket of two Governors was elected.

Weren't you a Romney supporter?

Still am. 

Ah, ok, just wondering? Why Daniels, though? He doesn't seem to interested. I'd suggest make McDonnell.

I strongly suspect Daniels is interested.  His protestations of no interest are so frequent, it seems hard to imagine that he is not planning to run. 

Oh wow, really? I had no idea.
